Madikeri is the principal hill town of Kodagu and a practical base for coffee estates, viewpoints, waterfalls and longer drives through Coorg. The town itself is compact; the wider district experience depends on road travel.
What to see
- Raja's Seat — a garden and viewpoint best in clear morning or evening weather.
- Madikeri Fort — a historic complex adapted across different periods; access may vary.
- Omkareshwara Temple — a distinctive early-19th-century temple near the centre.
- Abbey Falls — a popular excursion through plantation country; water flow is seasonal.
- Coffee estates — choose a genuine guided estate visit rather than only a retail tasting.
