Hi @Traveller, Welcome to the club..

 

Looks like you are planning on targeting a forest drive altogether. How many days trip are you looking at to plan this trip.. ? Can suggest accordingly as there are too many places in and around every place.

Hi Sagar,
We are planning from October 14-21 around 8 days, yea just realised that it will be a forest drive [emoji51]

8 days is more than enough for Coorg.

 

Day1
Hyderabad to Mysuru

Start early in the morning from Hyderabad and visit Mysuru Palace in the evening.

Apart from Palace there is nothing much to do in Mysuru, Unless you are interested in parks. 

 

Day 2

Bandipur forest safari.

Make sure you reach this place little early in the morning.

It is crowded during weekends.

Would suggest you to avoid stay in Bandipur.

Instead drive down to Kabini.

 

Day 3

Stay/Safari at Kabini

 

Day 4/5

Drive to Coorg

Local exploration, copied Sagar post.(Bold, must visit)

I'm also thinking of Nov last week for a Coorg trip.

For forest safari which is better Bandipur or Kabini (as you mentioned both the places, former being over crowded)?

Hi @manub22, Both are decent options to have on your list... I would recommend you to do the safari in Bandipur and stay in a forest guesthouse in Kabini. But, make sure you reach out to the safari ticker counter well before time at Bandipur

Better to book online in advance...for the safari...during holidays it's crowded...

In Bandipur you will mostly find Elephants, Tiger spotting chances are very less.

 

How many days you are planning?
