Waterfalls: Two of the largest waterfalls in the Coorg region are Abbey Falls and Irupu Falls. They are best seen only after the monsoon season, but all year round, they have cascading water. The most accessible place is Abbey Falls, located about 15 minutes north of Madikeri. Irupu Falls is almost two hours south of Madikeri and an hour from Nagarhole National Park in the other direction. Many individuals prefer Irupu Falls to Abbey Falls, and a scenic drive to Bangalore can be followed through Nagarhole. In the peak season, after the monsoon, the area around Irupu Falls is rich with butterflies.
Mountains and Hiking: The Coorg area, ideal for hiking, has some tempting peaks and valleys. One of the most famous routes is from Kakkabe to the state's highest point, Thadiyandamol. Enable this hike for at least five hours. Many people also enjoy trekking to Irupu Falls from the Brahmagiri range, starting from Virajpet. It's an arduous hike through the thick forest, though. It is common to combine hiking to Mandalpatti with a visit to Abbey Falls. It is the most popular hike in the forest range of Pushpagiri. Hiking and trekking activities are provided by most Coorg homestays and resorts.
Dubare Elephant Camp: Dubare Elephant Camp is a training camp for elephants operated by the government of Karnataka. You will read more about elephants, ride them, and even clean them off while swimming in the water. The camp is open from 9 a.m. daily. Towards 11 a.m. Uh, and 4.30 p.m. Till 5.30 p.m. The elephants are housed on an island within the camp and it's necessary to take a boat to get there. Therefore, attempt to arrive as early as possible if you want to experience swimming, preferably by 9 a.m. Be aware, though, that this is a government institution, so don't expect good infrastructure or be well organised for it.
In addition, Dubare is a training camp, not a centre for sanctuary or rehabilitation. To avoid visiting it, those who are worried about the care of elephants are told, as the elephants are chained up and disciplined. Staying at one of the cottages at the camp is probable. Just off State Highway 91, near Kushalnagar, about an hour east of Madikeri, the camp is located.
Tibetan Monastery and Golden Temple Namdroling Nyingmapa: This monastery, one of the must-see Buddhist monasteries in India, is home to one of India's largest Tibetan settlements. In the prayer hall and temple, the amount of gold is quite overwhelming, as are the immense gold statues of Buddha, too. It's situated near Kushalnagar, in Bylakuppe.
Notice that, as the area is limited, visitors need a Protected Area Permit to remain inside the monastery. There are, however, day trips permitted. Bring your passport or other identification that is necessary. For thorough insight, this guided tour is advisable.
