Best Time To Visit in Coorg –The Mini Scotland of India
Coorg whispers to your soul with its foggy hills, coffee plantations spread to the horizon, plunging waterfalls, and the ever-rejuvenating climate. But it is certainly a natural expression of curiosity that made you think after seeing all that beauty around, “Is the most suitable time for my Coorg adventure yet?” forget about that worry, because this post is going to be your guide through seasons and you are going to find your perfect time for that adventure.
Springtime Symphony (February to May): As winter disappears and in its place come the verdant shades of spring, the hills of Coorg are galvanized into action as they come to life from their winter slumber. The temperatures are pretty pleasant, from a minimum of 18°C to a maximum of 28°C and thus, you can do your outdoor activities. Skies are nearly always clear and visibility can be extended up to a thousand miles, giving a splendid view of the environment.
This season opens a new extensive area for trekkers. Treks Mandalpatti and Tadiandamol come to life as flowers bloom around which the aromatic experience of the wild meadows is created. The waterfalls of cascading type, for example Abbey and Irupu Falls, are wondrously magnificent at this time of year because of the water coming down.
Summer Sojourn (June to September): The monsoons are the reason for putting this area in green heaven, a literal meaning of paradise on earth. The green and lush hills cover a lot of area while the waterfalls are having more power. Nonetheless, the drops will not stay for long because soon our “breathing place” will be cleared, allowing the refreshing coolness to continue. The temperature on the other hand stays average and does not change a lot, ranging from 22 C to 28 C.
Also that time the beauty of rain is appreciated by some people. Ahh, what a lovely picture you paint! Sitting by our resort’s cozy fireplace at IBNI Springs, sipping from your cup of steaming Kodagu coffee while watching the rain dye the world’s greens a pretty emerald color. Strolling on the Cauvery Nisargadhama is certainly an absolute can’t-miss! A quiet island, gracefully suspended between the backwaters, takes you into an aura of Coorg’s monsoon charm.
Autumn’s Embrace (October to November): In the aftermath of monsoon, it is the shortfall season in Coorg that is followed by a brief autumnal phase. The skies grows dark as the rains cease, and the horizon welcomes a landscape that is revived and prodded wet. The temperature is a bit cooler, 15°C-25°Cwhich becomes a perfect weather for exploring and sightseeing in the area.
This is a photographer’s junkie’s ideal shangri-la. The nectar of autumn sun can be seen today in the coffee estates as it does magnificently to the sense of sight, which results in magnificent pictures. World-famous Madikeri Fort and Omkareshwara Temple of historic value are to-be-explored, and taking a tour to spice plantation is another option in the best weather of the region.
Winter Wonderland (December to January): The last blazing month bids adieu, and the coldest of the months roll for Coorg. It is colder now (10–20°C) which feels very pleasant compared to the heat one has been going through. Only the skies are seeing the vehicles’ trails while the terrain is cast in a unique hazy light.
It’s the period when those who prefer to stay indoors and find some kind of a comfort zone flock the shops. Cozy up to a book that you like by the lobby fireplace at IBNI Springs, or perhaps you like to treat yourself to a nice spa treatment. If you’re willing to take some more risk and love wildlife, lead a wildlife safari in Nagarhole National Park where elephants and the most interesting of creatures might come closer to you if it’s cooler.
Festival Fever (Throughout the Year): Maybe you are willing to visit Coorg, you may the fact that there is a good chance you may, at some point come across a lively festival. The Huttari Festival embodying the martial spirit of the Kodavas is just one of many annual rituals like the harvest season’s Sankaran Rekrama which gives everyone a wonderful peek into the culture and traditions of the Kodava people.
