Coorg and Chikmagalur trip cost from Bangalore
₹11,450 to ₹16,499 per person, and what moves it is the length, the season and the room. 4 days from ₹11,450, 5 days from ₹14,850, 6 days from ₹16,499.
What the price includes
- Travel from the pick-up city and back on a group departure, or the car and driver on a private trip.
- Stays on twin or triple sharing.
- The meals named on the trip page, normally breakfast and dinner on a group departure.
- Sightseeing as listed, and a Travloger trip captain on every group departure.
What it does not include

- The Mandalpatti and Kemmangundi jeeps, which are paid locally and shared between the group.

Who this trip suits
Friends and solo travellers: every trip here is private, so a group of four to eight sets its own pace and splits the cost.
Couples and families: the same route runs as a private trip with your own car, a room to yourselves and the early starts dropped. Mandalpatti and Mullayanagiri involve jeep rides on rough tracks, which is worth knowing if you are travelling with very young children or elderly parents; both can be swapped for an estate morning.
Best time to go, and getting to Coorg and Chikmagalur from Bangalore
Best time
- October to February, 13 to 28°C: The best window for both halves: clear mornings on Mullayanagiri, full waterfalls after the rains, cold nights on the estates.
- March to May, 18 to 33°C: Warm in the valleys and pleasant on the estates, with the fewest people on the jeep tracks.
- June to September, 16 to 26°C: The monsoon: mist, heavy rain, waterfalls at their fullest, and the lowest prices. Mandalpatti and the Kemmangundi tracks can close.
Getting there
From Bengaluru, Madikeri is 260 km and five to six hours through Mysuru, and Chikmagalur is 240 km through Hassan, so the loop between the two is easy in a weekend. The group departures leave on Friday night; a private trip can start at any hour.
Or take them one at a time
Both hill stations also run as trips of their own: Coorg for the waterfalls, Dubare and the estates, Chikmagalur for the peaks and the sunrise points.
