- Kuruva Island and Chembra Peak: A 950-acre river island crossed on bamboo rafts, and the heart-shaped lake on the way up the 2,100 m peak; both need the season and a permit.

- Abbey Falls and Raja's Seat: The hanging-bridge waterfall eight km from Madikeri, and the sunset garden looking west over the Coorg valley.

Wayanad and Coorg trip cost
₹8,999 to ₹21,999 per person, and what moves it is the length, the season and the room. 4 days from ₹8,999, 5 days from ₹13,999, 6 days from ₹16,499, 8 days from ₹21,999.
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
- Entry tickets and camera fees at Edakkal, the falls, Dubare and the monastery.
- The Chembra permit and the Mandalpatti jeep, both paid locally and shared between the group.
- Safari tickets at Muthanga, lunches on travel days, anything personal, and travel insurance.
Who this trip suits
Solo travellers and friends: the fixed-date departures are mixed groups with a trip captain, from ₹8,999 per person, and rooms are shared by gender. About half of every group travels alone, so joining by yourself is the normal way to do this trip, not the exception.
Couples and families: the same route runs as a private trip with your own car and the early starts dropped. Edakkal is a real climb and Chembra a proper trek, so both are worth planning around if you are travelling with very young children or elderly parents; Banasura Sagar, Dubare and the Golden Temple ask nothing of you.
Best time to go, and getting to Wayanad and Coorg
Best time
- October to February, 14 to 28°C: The best window for both: clear and green after the rains, the season for Chembra and the safaris, and cold nights on the Coorg estates.
- March to May, 18 to 33°C: Warm in the valleys, cool on the estates, and the quietest time on both sides.
- June to September, 16 to 26°C: One of the wettest monsoons in Kerala: the falls are at full flow, prices are lowest, and Chembra, Kuruva and the Mandalpatti track usually close.
Getting there
Neither has an airport or a station of its own. Wayanad is reached through Kozhikode (about 100 km, two hours up the Thamarassery ghat) or Mysuru; Coorg through Mysuru or Mangaluru; and the drive between them is two and a half hours through the Kutta forest road. Every trip here includes the road legs.
Or take them one at a time
Both also run as trips of their own: Wayanad for the caves, the peak and the safaris, Coorg for the estates and the waterfalls.
