Day 1

After refreshing we were finished our lunch in the hotel and started to Abbey falls since it was very close to the town so we selected this place as the first thing to visit it was very nice and situated in between the coffee plantations better to visit in the morning and evening time at the Normal season, we can visit the falls all the time during monsoon

Then we were started to talacavery which is the birth place of river cauvery while reached there we are so excited because the area is fully covered with mist we didn't find the person who is stands near by with in 5 mts to us also it is the one holly place to visit if you are coming with your family members it was situated at the bramahagiri hills near bhagamandala and the place that it situates is like a forest land covered with the layer of Misty snow on the top of it. I suggest you to don't miss this place anymore when you are visiting Coorg.

As we were new to Karnataka it was very easy to chose our destination as Coorg because it is the only land which is very familiar to the other state people, Yes we are from Tamilnadu our people around 7 guys were coming from Chennai to Coorg. We took the train from Chennai to Mysore then we rent the bikes from Mysore (Eeezee Rentals) to start our trip to Coorg on our first day it took around 2.45 to 3.00 hrs to reach Madikeri which is the centre of Coorg we reached there by afternoon 12.30 pm since we started from Mysore by 9.30 am when we near to Coorg while riding the bike the atmosphere was so awesomatic it was so pleasent to ride a bike in the curvy road surrounded by number of trees.

Day 2

On our second day we were planning to go for river rafting in Kushalnagar but it was over crowded so we changed our plan to go for mandalpatti, the change of the plan work out for us we wouldn't know much about mandalpatti one of my friend who is with me was said about this place so we started from Kushalnagar by noon 12pm since we wasted 3hrs for rafting,the climate was so pleasent and we were the riding our bikes in the off road that's the only way to go to mandalpatti peak jeeps also available but they charge some amount for that,but going in the bike on this rocky way is quite difficult so please be cautious while riding in bike the place was so gooood we were felt that standing in between the clouds the passing clouds are surrounded us and we didn't recognise the people with 1mtr distance at the top of the peak the weather feels like we we're into the sky, atmosphere also like standing in middle of the sky, Don't miss this place also to feel the nature at its Misty mode

Day 3

It was our final day of our trip so we planned this day perfectly to utilise the places to cover as part of our trip. So we were already Missed the river rafting in Kushalnagar that was the first thing to do in our final day so we leave the room by 9am in the morning and reached Kushalnagar by 9.30 am and then we started our rafting experience since it was the first rafting for all of us it costs around ₹500 for each person to sail in the raft all of us were in excited mode to sail. Sailing is around 7kms stretch in that first 2kms they simply ask us to bow in the upstream direction after that they twist the raft upside down to drop us in the middle of the river Don't worry they provide the lifejacket to swim safely but we need to pay extra ₹400 per person to them in order to initiate this adventure activities, after we were submerged in to the river they ask us to swim for 1.5kms in the river it was wonderful experience because none of the person with me is a good swimmer all of us playing and swimming simultaneously in to the river cauvery the depth is like 25feet but they said there is a shortage of rain at that time if it was a rainy season then the depth with increases as well the rapids were so good for sail they involve us to do surfing at the end of the sail, it was a new adventure experience for all of us also we enjoyed to the core while do our rafting trip
