We heard lot about MANDALPATTI and plan to do this ride specifically. Its very famous place for trek and some of the Kannada Cinema songs filmed in this place.

MANDALPATTI / Pushpairi Wildlife Sanctuary

Route and Prefer time for Mandalpatti:  from Madikeri you can reach Mandalpatti, But its good, bad or small road which will take you to this place. It will take maximum one hr to reach this place in Car or Bike. Try to be in the place after 3 or 4:00 PM, Don’t go in afternoon.

I feel this is the best place in around coorg and must VISIT !! But very less people visit to this place because of no/bad roads. Don’t miss this place, if you visit Coorg.
