Route: Madikeri (Coorg) Morning started with peace and aroma!. We woke up late, as sun rays directly touched our balcony. The cool weather mixed with the fragrance of coffee beans—a reminder that our homestay was nestled in a 5-acre coffee estate. 🌿
After breakfast, we set out for the famous Mandalpatti viewpoint.
We hired a local jeep and all three families jumped in together for a thrilling 23 km off-road ride. The bumpy trail, laughter, and excitement made it one of the most unforgettable rides of the trip! 🚙💨
At the top, the panoramic view of Coorg’s misty hills left everyone spellbound. Cameras clicked nonstop, capturing every frame of nature’s beauty. 📸
Next, we visited Abby Falls, a short trek down about 150 steps where we enjoyed the gushing waterfall surrounded by lush greenery.
By evening, we returned to our homestay for a peaceful walk through the coffee and spice plantation. The owner explained about different plants like Arabica, Robusta, white pepper, orange, chikoo, coconut, and avocado – a mini botanical lesson in itself! 🌿
As night fell, we gathered again for a campfire with fruit platters and crunchy baby corn 65.
Laughter, music, and warmth filled the air as we danced, shared memories, and ended the day with a delicious homemade dinner — roti, sukhi bhaji, dal-rice, chhaas, and papad.
Authentic taste, heartfelt hospitality, and the calmness of the coffee hills made this day truly special. 🌙✨
We went to bed early, hearts full and ready for the next morning’s return journey.
