Walk through Mercara Gold Estate, 8 km from Madikeri, to see coffee, spices, processing, roasting, and the World Coffee Museum. Guides such as Salim and Murugesh explain the work clearly, and the visit ends with estate-fresh filter coffee. Expect sloping ground and weather changes.
“Very nice experience, got a good insight on coffee and spice plantation. Totally worth it, recommended.”
Spend five hours with a local English-speaking guide exploring Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Champa Gali, Lodhi Art District, and Sunder Nursery. Hotel pickup, coffee, a snack, and a group capped at 12 make this a relaxed way to see Delhi’s quieter, more creative side.
“Very good guide and interesting tour to peaceful parts of Delhi. Good lunch at nice cafe in vibrant area. Would recommend”
Meet in Madikeri for a private, one-hour walk through a working Coorg coffee plantation. A local farmer with more than 20 years of cultivation experience explains nurseries, shade-grown Arabica and Robusta, harvesting, roasting, and tasting. Coffee or tea is included, but transport is not.
“Disappointed with the tour. Did not get to lean much. The coffee plantation had no infrastructure. The tour was very basic”
Leave Bangalore at 7:30 am for Belur’s 12th-century Hoysala temple, a coffee and spice plantation, and Shravanabelagola’s Jain statue. A driver handles the long road journey, while guides including Varun and Raghu join at the sights. Vegetarian lunch, entry fees, and an air-conditioned vehicle are included.
“Interested in a breathtaking — literally — adventure? Then this is your trip. From a (challenging) hike to an amazing statue, to a quaint coffee and spice farm (with a delicious lunch and lovely hosts, not to mention a cute puppy), to a stunning temple - it was a great day, enhanced by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, Varun.”
At Mercara Gold Estate, 8 kilometers from Madikeri, an English or Hindi-speaking guide leads you through coffee and spice crops, roasting, and the World Coffee Museum. You finish with estate fresh filter coffee and can buy farm products to take home.
