It represents the royal heritage of South India and is a mandatory stop on the route from Bangalore to the hills.
Day 3: Coorg Local Sightseeing
-
Abbey Falls is nestled within private coffee plantations and spice estates, where the Kaveri River cascades down a 70-foot rock face into a deep pool. A hanging bridge opposite the falls provides a stunning vantage point for photography and enjoying the misty spray of the water. It is one of the most popular natural attractions in the Coorg region, especially vibrant during the monsoon and post-monsoon months.
-
Raja’s Seat is a seasonal garden built on an elevated ground where the Kings of Coorg once sat to watch the sunset with their consorts. The site offers a commanding view of the green valleys, rolling hills, and the winding road toward Mangalore. It is an ideal spot for families to relax and enjoy the musical fountain show in the evening.

Banasura Sagar Dam is the largest earth dam in India and the second largest in Asia, built at the foot of the Banasura hills. The reservoir features several small islands formed when the reservoir submerged the surrounding areas, creating a picturesque “mini-Maldives” feel. Speed boating here is a thrilling experience for adventure seekers visiting Wayanad.

Edakkal Caves are two natural caves situated 1,200 meters above sea level on Ambukutty Mala, containing Neolithic petroglyphs dating back to 6,000 BCE. The trek up to the caves is steep but rewarding, offering a rare glimpse into prehistoric human settlements and rock art. These carvings are among the only known examples of ancient stone-age writing in South India.
Day 6: Wayanad to Alleppey

Alleppey Backwaters represent a vast network of interconnected canals, rivers, and inlets that form the backbone of Kerala’s coastal life.
