Spectacular sunsets
Raja’s Seat is a cliff-edge point facing lush green valleys and hilly expanse where it is believed that the Maharajas used to watch sunsets. On clear days the sunsets are spectacular, but on cloudy days, puffy white clouds playing hide and seek with the mountains is an equally riveting sight.
Abbey Falls

Located just outside Madikeri in the midst of a coffee plantation, it takes a little walk to see Abbey falls, but the sight is dramatic. The water gushing out over rocks and plunging a few hundred feet is viewed from a little bridge where you can sometimes feel the spray carried by strong winds.
Dubare Elephant Camp
Bathe the lovable giants of forest
