Mysuru to Madikeri
Mysuru, Karnataka → Madikeri, Coorg
120 km · Oct – Mar · Easy
Coffee country. The road out of Mysuru climbs into shade trees, pepper vines, and a mist that sits on the ghats until noon. Short, fragrant, and the reason people keep a weekend bag in the car.

Tips

Go for the coffee, stay for the road
Estate tours are everywhere. The drive is the one that is not advertised.
- 02
Monsoon is another country
Beautiful, and slow. Lights on, no overtaking on the wet descents.
