Coorg: common questions
- Yes — 3-4 nights is the sweet spot.
- By road from Bangalore, about 5 to 6 hours via Mysore. Mysore airport and Mangalore airport are closer but have fewer flights.
- Yes. The elephant camp, waterfalls and short plantation walks suit children, and drives within Coorg are under an hour.
- Yes. Madikeri has several shops selling local coffee, pepper, cardamom and honey.
- No. Every trip is planned for one family, couple or group of friends at a time: flights, hotels, drivers, guides and sightseeing, all chosen for you.
- Message us on WhatsApp — there is no form. Tell us roughly where, roughly when, and who is travelling. A trip designer replies personally, usually the same day, and follows up with a call to understand your priorities before sending a proposal.
- Where we show a figure it is indicative, per couple, and all-inclusive — flights, visa, hotels, sightseeing, transfers, breakfast and dinner. It is a planning number, not a quote: it is confirmed once hotels and transport are actually held, and it moves with the exchange rate on the day of booking. Trips without a figure are priced on enquiry.
- Yes. On our Europe trips both are included in the indicative price — return flights and visa application support and fees. Elsewhere we book flights through your preferred airline alliance and co-ordinate visa documentation separately.
