Madikeri Mel Manju
Scenic drives through lush green estates,
Bathing elephants,
Waterfalls,
Cauvery the way you want it,
Those odd churmuri breaks here and there,
And more. Though a good 5-6 hour drive away from Bangalore, Coorg region has a lot on offer for nature starved city dwellers like us. Don’t wait for a long weekend, just go there!
Awesome pics…!!!!! Kool Coorg. Madikeri mel Manju. Missed out pics from tala Kaveri!!?? Beautiful Scenic spots are there in madikeri indeed to watch. Good trekking place, falls, temples, Coffee estates, Orange, honey, etc.
Coorg is also favourite tourist place for Anand Mahindra(Chairman Of Mahindra Group).
Thats the Place to watch Honey!!
I miss all of them, sitting here in the city :)
For the uninitiated reader – “Madikeri Mel Manju” is a song written by GP Rajarathnam – yendkudka Rathna, with very nice lyrics and a catchy tune. Reminds me, I need to buy a book of his works.
Excellent pics.. Awesome..
Arun – Appreciate your giving the background of the title of this post. I was wondering how many people would get it. Would have been awesome if there was some online audio resource you could have linked to for that song. I Googled, but did not find any.
Wonderful pictures but liked the picture of the first churmuri :-)
it took me just a second to figure out what they were!

My wife was singing this song (nice tune) all through the drive. So I just couldn’t think of another subject line. “Madikeri mel Manju”! Thanks Arun/Mysore for the supporting info.
Mytri,Libran,Veena, locations for the pics are – Siddapur (green estates). Dubare (elephant camp). Dubare again (River Kaveri). Abbe falls. Churmuri at Raja’s seat, Madikeri.
Naren, couldn’t go to Tala Kaveri. 3 day long weekend wasn’t time enough.
Boomin tabbid modidange…belle baldid roadidange… What a wonderful song !!!
This song & a beaultiful photos of silkboard is worth of thousand words !!! , Your post made me to recollect my memories of Madikere.
awesome pics………
can u please provide some details regarding staying ,transport facilities
@ Shadow, thanks.
@ Sampada, try Orange County, Club Mahindra, Country Club and similar or even Jungle Lodges (Dubare) if you aren’t that tight on budget. Can also try “home stay” (list at http://www.coorgtourism.com/). If you can, then I suggest you drive all the way and use your car to go around Madikeri.
