The Best Time to Visit Coorg

Coorg in South India is a very green tourist spot. One look through it, you will see lush green meadows and beautiful lakes glistening in the Sun. It’s a sort of miniature Africa vacation spot too- one could go on safaris or go backpacking, and meet all sorts of exotic wild animal species. But that doesn’t mean it is devoid of the human touch, though. Coorg has temples, monasteries and churches, it’s a religious spread. The best time to visit Coorg is entirely different, a polar opposite to the peak seasons for North India tourist hubs. The peak season is monsoon, when the rains come in and lend a beautifying, enhancing touch to the place and makes it more beautiful. The monsoon season is from June to September.

Months Conditions Our Recommendation
October to March Best time for adventure sports, you will definitely enjoy trekking during this time. Popular Tourist Season
March to April These are the favourable months, as you will get a chance to witness the valley filled with white flowers. Peak Season
June to September Heavy rainfalls, but you will certainly enjoy the beauty of Coorg. Ideal Time

 


Monsoon
at Coorg also suffers from the debate regarding whether its ambient enough to pay a visit. Well, as I always say, it’s a matter of personal choice, preferences and priorities. It would be saying the least to say that Coorg is blessed with ample precipitation-if that is something you enjoy, or don’t see a lot of, you should definitely drop by. If you think it would be dangerous or a hindrance to sightseeing, you better come another day.There is debate in opinions about the Coorg summer tourism excellence.

Some say Coorg is at its best during summer, some others will tell you it gets oppressively hot and stuffy. But overall, one can go to Coorg in summer and have a good time roaming as it stays cooler than the Indian average. One can visit the local tourist attractions like churches and hills, or one can get sporty and play golf or trek.

Winters in Coorg are a universal tourist favourite. The winter weather is quite cold by India standards, and it sometimes gets chilly, close as it is to the hills. There are delightful mists which sometimes arrive unexpected and without notice, and make the tourists’ day. Sightseeing is best done now, as is natural beauty enjoyed, being at its best. Adventure sports should be taken on with enough caution exercised beforehand.

How to Reach Coorg

Coorg is well connected to other lands by a number of ways. You can take flights back and forth from the nearest Mangalore airport, or you can take the rail to Mysore station. One could take buses from neighbouring Mysore, Bengaluru as well. One could also drive by road, and the drive is replete with scenic beauty and well maintained roadways. There are buses and taxis which convey you to hotels from airports and rail stations.
