All about the Luxury Coorg and Ooty Tour (6D/5N).

Once a princely state, Mysore or Mysuru now sits in the shadows of Bangalore city. But the historic town has its own charm and attracts numerous visitors from all over the world. An important part of our Coorg and Ooty tour, Mysore introduces you to the rich history of Southern India and the influences of our British history.

The enchanting, laidback lifestyle the city provides has attracted pensioners and retired people from all over the country, making it their home. The glitzy city is famous for being the origin for the yummy Mysore Pak, the regal Mysore Palace, and its rich cuisine! As part of our Coorg and Ooty tour, we spend a day in Mysore, reveling in its culture and enjoying the experiences that come along.

Ooty or the Queen of the Hills is a popular hill station located in the eco-sensitive Nilgiri hills. Originally occupied by the Toda tribes, Ooty came under the rule of East India Company in the 18th century and developed as the hub of tourism and tea estates over the years. Ooty sits high at an elevation of 7,350 feet and it can get quite chilly during the winters. The all-year-round pleasant weather, an abundance of natural beauty, and proximity to major cities have propelled tourism in the town.

Ooty is now best known for its tea tourism, panoramic views of the Western Ghats, and its pleasant climate. Our Ooty tours will take you to the most scenic or culturally rich homestays where you can dwell in the historic past of the town. Our experienced guides have spent quite a lot of time in Ooty and know the best spots to visit and deliver the most memorable Ooty tours.

Coorg is the former name of Kodagu, a district in the state of Karnataka. Prior to 1956, it was an independent state but was merged into the state of Mysore soon after. The locals are known as Kodavas and are traditionally land-owning agriculturists with martial customs. It is interesting to note that the Kodavas are the only people in India permitted to carry firearms without a license!!

Coorg is now a popular tourist getaway destination that is dotted with massive coffee and spice plantations, the Western Ghats, and beautiful homestays in scenic settings. The most popular part of Coorg is the Madikeri town that sees the most amount of tourist footfalls owing to the numerous accommodation options available there. Our Coorg and Ooty tour takes you through the best places to see in Coorg, experiencing its culture and indulging in its colorful cuisine. The Coorg and Ooty tour is delivered by our experienced team brings to you the best stays and the most interesting sights to see.
