#1 - No Volvo buses but there are Ashok Leyland's aplenty, just walk out the door. Straight ahead.

Hi,

Try THE CAPITOL RESORT, about 5-6 kms outside Madikeri on the Siddapur road.
In Madikeri town stay at Hotel East End. There is a hotel near Raja's seat. I forget the name. It is pretty decent.

I have a few Coorg road questions too.

How is the drive from Bangalore to Coorg by private vehicle? My main concern is motion sickness. I get it only on hilly roads and all my previous experience is of the roads in Uttrakhand or Himanchal Pradesh. So, what do you guys say? Are the roads from B'lore to Coorg full of twists and turns? Want to decide if I need an anti-nausea tablet or not.

capt_mahajan · Nov 21st, 2007, 17:10

The roads aren't half as hilly as Uttarakhand or Himachal.

But they are often in worse shape, specially post monsoon.

I would say keep, but don't take the tablet.

mridula · Nov 21st, 2007, 17:22

Thanks a lot for the reply Captain. Any idea what should one try to do at Coorg and how is the Club Mahindra property? And no, I am not paying for Club Mahindra, this is a sponsored trip. I know I am being lazy and asking questions that I should search for first but grading copies makes me crazy!

capt_mahajan · Nov 21st, 2007, 17:33

Club Mahindra is good if you are not paying for it. And specially if you don't own a timeshare

shahronakm · Nov 21st, 2007, 17:38

As Captain has specified roads are not that curvy as in uttaranchal. Club Mahindra property is excellent so is Orange County.
Touristy places to be visited
Raja's Seat, Abby Falls (Madikeri)
Watch sunset at Raja's Seat & then you can enjoy the musical fountain after that.
Golden Monsatery, Nisargdham (Kushalnagar)
Visiting Coffee plantations
Staying in a Home stay - not to be missed.

Captain, I do not own a time share anywhere

Ronak, thanks a lot for the list. let me see how much I can cram and thanks for the thumbs up for Club Mahindra.

You can check with the following for home stay

link to visit and review
http://www.holidayiq.com/resortinfo_...fromDe st=yes

Have stayed there and found it good though it is a little bit pricey and away from the main attractions in Madikeri

The cosy coforts of a resort are not there but has privacy and the knowledge of a local resident couple to guide you in trip planning plus great food.
If allergic to dogs then avoid as the estate has a huge pair of them -friendly ones

There would be more as well I am sure which you can review

Folks, I am back from Coorg trip. Unfortunately for the Tala Cauvery and Dubare I had to take avomine though I lasted fine without it from Bangalore to Coorg. Here are some of my pictures from the trip.
