5 Nights / 6 DaysMysore · Coorg (Madikeri) · Ooty
A relaxed south-India loop starting in Bengaluru. Mysore gives you a palace and a hill temple; Coorg slows things down with coffee estates, waterfalls and the Tibetan monastery at Bylakuppe; and Ooty adds cool Nilgiri air, gardens and the UNESCO-listed mountain railway. Drives are kept to half-days except the Coorg-Ooty day through the Bandipur and Mudumalai forests.

The Bandipur and Mudumalai forest roads are closed to traffic at night (21:00 to 06:00), so the Coorg-Ooty drive starts early. Photography inside Mysore Palace is not allowed. Coorg is very wet from June to September. Toy-train seats are limited - book on IRCTC early.
