Personally, I think having a mix of things to do that help you relax and be adventurous makes a trip worthwhile. Here are the top 10 must-do activities in Somwarpet that promise to make your trip truly memorable.

1. Coffee Plantation Tour: Aromatic Trails

This is my personal favourite. Begin your Somwarpet adventure with a stroll through its famous coffee plantations. The air, heavy with the aroma of coffee, will lead you on an educational tour where you'll learn about the fascinating journey of coffee beans from the plant to your cup. Don't miss out on the coffee tasting sessions – they're an absolute treat for the senses! At Stava Coorg , we have an in-house coffee plantation you can explore to your heart's content.

2. Mallalli Falls: The Cascading Beauty

The trek to Mallalli Falls is as thrilling as the destination itself. Navigate through dense forests to find this spectacular waterfall cascading down the rocky terrains of Coorg. The sight of water plummeting from a height, surrounded by the lush greenery, is something you won't forget anytime soon.

3. Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary: A Wild Encounter

Nature lovers, rejoice! The Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, with its rich biodiversity, is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and bird watchers. Keep your cameras ready to capture the vibrant avian life and perhaps, if you're lucky, some rare wildlife in their natural habitat.

4. Honnamana Kere Lake: A Peaceful Escape

Imagine a day spent beside the serene waters of Honnamana Kere, the largest lake in Coorg. Surrounded by hills and dotted with quaint cottages, this lake is the perfect picnic spot for families and couples seeking a quiet day in nature's lap.

5. Somwarpet Market: A Cultural Melange

No visit to Somwarpet is complete without a trip to its bustling market. Dive into the local culture as you explore stalls laden with fresh spices, homemade chocolates, and unique handicrafts. And while you're there, don't forget to savor the local Kodava cuisine – it's a culinary journey you wouldn't want to miss.

6. Harangi Reservoir: Thrill Seeker’s Paradise

For those who crave adventure, the Harangi Reservoir offers a playground of activities. From the excitement of kayaking to the rush of zip-lining, this spot has all the ingredients for an adrenaline fueled day out.

7. Kumara Parvatha Peak: A Trekkers' Dream

Challenge yourself with a trek to Kumara Parvatha, one of the most rewarding yet demanding treks in South India. The journey is tough, but the panoramic views from the peak are a fitting reward, offering a breathtaking glimpse of Coorg's majestic landscapes.

Your trip to Somwarpet would be incomplete without indulging in the local Coorg cuisine. The town's eateries serve up traditional dishes that are bound to leave you craving for more. From the spicy Pandi curry to the soft Akki roti, every dish is a celebration of flavors.

Take a moment to appreciate the quiet beauty of the Shanthi Church. Its serene ambiance and stunning architecture make it a perfect spot for reflection and photography.

10. Jeep rides in the Western Ghats

Somwarpet: A Hidden Gem of Coorg

By rahuldev rajguru, last updated: 24 may 2024.

Monsoon brings rain and with it lush green landscape, gushing waterfalls, cloud covered mountains and vacant tourist places. This is the season of about 3-4 months where I venture on road trips within Karnataka at least twice. However, Covid played spoilsport on my road trips last year. With the deadly second wave, this year was no better, rather worse. Eventually, the lockdown was lifted around the time the monsoon set. My family was ready for the much awaited road trip, but we wanted to go away from the maddening crowd.

Homestay in Somwarpet Coorg

Coorg tourism is more famous for its hospitality and food than for its scenic landscape. We have been to Coorg several times. We prefer a homestay in Coorg where we are guests in someone's house rather than a resort. We set our base in a small but quaint village of Shanthalli in the middle of Western Ghats near Somwarpet in Kodagu. We stayed in Gowrikere Homestay that offered a stunning vista from our room's window and the verandah on the first floor. We were the only guests in this sprawling Somwarpet Homestay for a large part of our stay and that made it even more special.

The verandah of Homestay had a picture perfect view on a rainy day, an ideal place to have breakfast and enjoy the monsoon

Coorg has over 500 homestays that you can book online based on your preferences regarding the type of property and your budget.Coorg has over 500 homestay properties that you can reserve online based on your preferences regarding the type of property and your budget. Gowrikere homestay nestled in coffee, orange and spice plantations, was a simple and elegant place with no frills. A lake that comes alive only during the monsoon and the lush green surrounding just across the road offers tranquility of mother nature. You wake up to birds chirping and go to bed amid a high-pitched background hum of crickets and katydids.

The vegetarian food prepared in Coorgi style was delicious with varieties like Akki Roti, Kadubu, Nuputu and different curries to name a few. The entire surrounding was so serene that we just didn't feel like stepping out of our homestay. We spent time sitting in the verandah enjoying the monsoon magic while the host indulged us with locally brewed piping hot coffee at regular intervals. The rain stops and suddenly the entire surrounding is engulfed in thick fog and you could barely see anything across the lake. This is the reason one should visit Coorg during the monsoon .

Nestled in the lap of nature, Gowrikere homestay in Somwarpet offers the most spectacular views

Mallalli Falls near Somwarpet in Karnataka

There are many places to visit in Coorg. As this wasn't our first time, we picked only a few places. Mallalli Falls is one of the places to visit in Somwarpet. Eventually the sky cleared up and it was time to drive through the meandering roads to a splendidly gushing Mallalli Waterfalls. Sometimes also known as Kumaradhara Falls by the locals, Mallalli Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in Coorg. Kumaradhara River that flows through the higher elevation of Kukke Subramanya takes a plunge of more than 1,000 meters while passing through Coorg. This creates the most beautiful falls of Coorg while making it a top tourist place in Coorg. There is also a homestay near Mallalli Falls. This River then merges with Nethravati River before eventually merging with Arabian Ocean in Mangalore creating numerous waterfalls enroute during the peak monsoon in Coorg.

This 200-feet-high milky white Mallalli Falls in Coorg is a feast to the eyes and its roaring sound will ring in your ears for days after your visit

The cascading Mallalli Waterfalls plummeting from 200 feet height in a 2-tier sequence is best seen during the 4 months of heavy rain. You need to descend 400 steps to reach the foot of Pushpagiri Hills for a jaw-dropping view of this cascade. However, it was slippery and drizzling when we went so we decided against going down beyond 50 steps. There were not many people so we still got the best out of it from the top view points.

The divine sound of the water cascading down, increasing in decibel as we approach closer is alluring

Bisle Ghat - a nature lover's paradise

It's been 15 years since my first trip to Western Ghats and I am deeply in love with this incredible ecosystem. There hasn't been a year where I have not taken at least one trip to Western Ghats. Has my love faded going through the same journey again and again? Not yet. This year was special as I boarded the Vistadome coach on a train between Bangalore and Mangalore that passes through the Western Ghats just 2 weeks before this trip. Here, I'm raring to drive on Bisle Ghat amid heavy rain and dense fog resulting in a few meters of visibility on certain stretches. My wife was a bit worried but I was confident that we are going to safely do this 3-hour round trip between Somwarpet and Kukke Subramanya. You don't get enough opportunities to drive in the Western Ghats during dense fog and heavy rain and I was not one who would miss out on that.

Plenty of natural waterfalls in Bisle Ghat - an urge to stop every few kilometers

The forest department has developed a viewpoint atop Bisle Ghat that offers a spectacular view of three mountain ranges, Kumara Parvatha, Pushpagiri and Dodda Betta. Bisle means "Sunlight" in Kannada. This area is so dense that it rarely receives sunlight and hence "Bisile" (that's how you pronounce it). You can get a breathtaking view of one of India's rainforests located within Bisle Reserve Forest and the Giri River that separates these mountain ranges. Trekking in Bisle Ghat is a nature lover's delight in the true sense. We missed this particular spectacle as the visibility was barely a few meters. Do I regret it? Well, not yet, as I'm sure I am going to come back here several times. We continued our drive all the way until the serpentine roads ended near Kukke Subramanya and returned with a hope of improved visibility at Bisle Ghat viewpoint, but it was not our day.

This is an exhilarating road trip in Bisle Ghat. The mesmerizing view of the rainforests and tiny Bisle Ghat waterfalls make this a spectacular experience.

On our return, we had an urge to eat something really hot. Quite obvious when it rains, right? Where would you find a restaurant in such a remote place? Suddenly, I spotted " Hallimane Tea/Coffee Shop '' on my google map navigation about half a kilometer away. A small makeshift hut (tented shop) awaited us. I wondered how this appears on Google maps. On inquiring for food, we were guided to their house at the top. They served us hot Maggie, fresh omelets , bhajjis and tea, just what the doctor had prescribed. I then met the shop owner Srushtideep, a young boy in his 20s, who works for Amazon in Bangalore. Due to Covid and "Work from home", he now works from his tiny village of Mankanahalli. He set up this shop in recent months so that his father can keep himself engaged after retirement. Since there is no eatery nearby, he registered his shop on Google for discoverability as the majority of tourists use Google maps navigation. His family prepares delicious food so do stop by when you visit that area.

Srushtideep at his Hallimane Tea/Coffee Shop - located opposite Mankanahalli Ridge Point

Mankanahalli Lake & Ridge Point on Bisle Ghat Road

We did not realize that we spent 3 hours sitting here enjoying the serene Mankanahalli Lake around this restaurant. This also led us to discover an unusual place of historic significance that many tourists are unaware of, Ridge Point. A " Ridge " is a region of high barometric pressure that divides rainwater. A British officer from the early era discovered Ridge Point and placed a stone platform here indicating the direction of flow of water between Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal.

A natural phenomena - water flowing towards the west joins Arabian Sea while water flowing towards the east joins Bay of Bengal

Ridge Point remains mostly covered in clouds during monsoon and that's the best time to visit and experience nature like we did, for hours doing nothing. We took a stroll behind Ridge Point to discover that there is the big Mankanahalli Lake that was earlier completely covered in clouds with almost zero visibility. Soon, the clouds emerged, in no time covering the entire place in thick fog, an experience difficult to describe in words.

That's me trying to merge with the surroundings

Belur Golf Course in Somwarpet

There are many things to do in Coorg and one of them is Belur Golf Course. Just 6 km south of Somwarpet, this place is known as Belur Bane Somwarpet. This used to be a 9-hole golf course once upon a time but now is just a natural and unmaintained grassland. This has become a paradise for movie makers as it offers a long stretch of lush green landscape. We went there during the weekdays so we were the only ones but the leftover trash suggests this could be a picnic spot for locals on Sundays.

This lush green grassland of Belur Golf Club makes for a perfect picnic spot to embrace mother nature

This picturesque Somwarpet Golf Course is believed to be 100 years old with a history of holding some of the oldest open Golf tournaments in India. This is also a nice place for photo ops and my family left no stone unturned in capturing their portraits in every possible angle. A stroll on the grassland was quite pleasing. This is a place in Somwarpet where you could easily spend a couple of hours and relax.

Honnamana Kere Lake

Honnamana Kere, the largest lake in Coorg is another place to visit in Somwarpet. Located close to Somwarpet city, it is nestled between mountains and forests. According to legend, Goddess Honnamana sacrificed her life here for the welfare of people. A temple has been constructed in her honor where they conduct the Gowri festival and offer 'Bagina' to the Goddess every year. You can drive uphill from the temple and reach the rear of the lake for a beautiful view. Rock climbing at Honnamana Kere and trekking around the lake are some of the activities for adventure lovers.

Honnamana Kere Lake offers a spectacular view of the surroundings and is a perfect place to hang out in the evenings

Kote Betta - a hidden gem in Coorg

"Kote" in Kannada means Fort and "Betta" means Hills. Kote Betta resembles a fort-like structure that is situated at an altitude of 5,300 feet. This is Coorg's 3rd highest peak bordering Dakshina Kannada district . This place is a trekker's paradise and one of the top attractions in Coorg for adventure seekers. Kote Betta trek distance of 10-km starts from Hattihole bridge and is ideally recommended after the monsoon. We went during the peak monsoon and the last 5 kms. of the drive was mind blowing. Most of the time we were engulfed in mist as we kept gaining elevation. Kote Betta in Somwarpet has a Shiva temple atop a big rock which was clearly visible while I was parking my car and suddenly a thick cloud engulfed everything and my dream of taking beautiful pictures could not be fulfilled. Legend has it that Pandavas stayed here for a while when in exile.

The fort-like entrance of Kote Betta trek is intriguing and alluring

The weather opened up quite a bit on our return and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We heard a huge roar of water falling from a height and before we could figure it out, my wife spotted massive cascading Onti Waterfalls in the distance. The clouds had disappeared and with virtually no other tourists around we could see milky white water cascade with a roar from quite a distance. Trekkers also know this as Kote Betta Falls.

This is an incredible view of Onti Waterfalls while heading to Kote Betta

Suralabbi Falls - a hidden place in Coorg

It was already 6 pm and we still had 1.5 hours of drive to our homestay in Somwarpet. When we came down and were about to take the route we came from, I spotted a sign of Suralabbi Falls that was on the left (opposite side). I dialed Google and discovered that it would be a small detour with just 5 additional kilometers to reach our destination. The decision didn't disappoint us as we passed through the giant Suralabbi Waterfall. There were no other tourists except us and that was a cherry on the top. This is a true hidden gem of waterfalls in Coorg. There are a number of places to explore in Somwarpet.

Surlabbi Falls emerging from the lush greenery is a hidden place to visit in Somwarpet

Surlabbi Falls, locally known as Medura Abbi or Medarahole Falls is a natural waterfall originating from a narrow gorge. It flows down several steps among the rocks. The waterfall gushing from the rocks in between the lush greenery is a sight to behold. The natural beauty and tranquility of the place makes it a nature lovers' paradise. This waterfall is seasonal which flows in all its glory during the monsoon. Visitors are prohibited from entering the water during the monsoon.

This gushing cascade is Surlabbi Falls in Coorg. Emerging from a narrow gorge among lush greenery, this white cascade creates a truly captivating view.

The photo ops at Suralabbi Waterfall lasted a tad longer as we were losing daylight. We had to drive through the dense forest and winding roads with no sign of a human being and no mobile coverage for a long stretch. Eventually, we reached our homestay in Somwarpet, had a sumptuous dinner with an orchestra of crickets and other insects in the brackgroud. The next day, we started our return journey from Somwarpet to Bangalore amid a clear sunny day, the first time since we had arrived.
