Coorg Backpacking Trip

If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram and stumbled upon breathtaking shots of mist-covered hills, winding coffee estate trails, and charming cafés overlooking lush valleys, chances are you’ve seen Coorg. This South Indian hill station has quietly become a favourite among travellers looking for a blend of serenity, culture, and yes, photogenic cafés. With Plan the Unplanned, exploring Coorg in Karnataka isn’t just a trip, but an experience tailored for soul-searchers, thrill-seekers, and digital nomads alike.

Trip Highlights

• A thrilling, rough-and-tumble 4×4 Jeep drive to Mandalpatti, offering sweeping panoramic views of the pristine Coorg landscape.
• Take it slow at Abbey Falls, where the waterfall and wooded area of tree leaves invite you to escape into a refreshing retreat.
• A typical Coorg evening at Raja’s Seat, sipping coffee while the sun sets amidst lush valleys.
• Stay in a quaint homestay that promotes impromptu conversations, shared meals, and cold mountain nights.
• Enjoy nights around the campfire with stories, music, and stars—no regular schedule, just great company.
• Discover the local markets of Madikeri for original coffee, spices, honey, and tea.
