During our stay in Coorg we went to Madikere Town and saw a few tourist spots there.
- Abbey Falls
- Raja's seat
- Cauvery Nisaragadhama
Abbey Falls : I found this a nice place to visit. There was plenty of water and a hanging bridge from where we could view the waterfall easily. Nothing really stood out for me - it was pleasant.
Raja's seat : This is a great point in Madikere. Lovely views from here ! So I would put it as a must visit if you visit Madikere. See pics below ! :)
Cauvery Nisargadhama : This was a fun place ! We enjoyed boating here and the walk around the the entire area. There are stops on the walking route so you can catch a breath. Log huts on trees give a differenct view. We ended up spending about half an hour in one since it started raining heavily. So with the dripping roof on top of a tree and the rain ... hmmm it was a very nice time. Just needed some hot tea ! :)
There was a swing beneath the tree - so we spent some time there too. Elephant rides can also be availed from near the Deer Park area.
Outside of the nature resort there is horse riding ( they charge a lot !!! ) and a play area for kids. All in all perfect for a family outing !!
For us the main attraction was the deer feeding ! :) The deer turned up their noses when we tried to feed them leaves ! :) They wanted cabbage and cucumber instead ! :)
Cousin's plantation : We were able to go to my hubby's cousin's plantation in Madikeri so have added some general pics of that place for a feel of the hinterland. We also got to see cocoa tree, a rubber plantation and pepper of course ! :)
Tips :
1. Do go to Raja's seat. Wonderful panoramic views from this point. There is supposed to be water show too but we did not get to see it since it was closed.
2. Cauvery Nisargadhama is also a lovely place for families. Do feed the deer - cucumber and cabbage ! Climb on the log huts too.

| Snail ... we waited for this to cross the road .. since it looked like the traffic on the foot trail to Abbey would quash it ! |
