Coorg, being a hill station, has variable weather conditions. It can be quite cold in the early morning, mild or humid during the day, and cool at night. Be sure to pack clothing suitable for switching between these different conditions. When visiting waterfalls, be cautious, especially with children, and hold their hands while they are in the water. It’s also a good idea to carry a first-aid kit and any necessary medications in case you fall ill due to sudden climate changes or water. As our itinerary includes visits to temples, it’s recommended to bring traditional attire for both men and women. Always carry cash, as signal strength in the area may not be as reliable as in the cities. Suggestions for itinerary changes are welcome if time permits, but please be considerate of your fellow travelers’ opinions.
