Well maintained place

I was surprised to see the neatness with which the sanctuary was maintained. The boats rowed by the sanctuary personnel take you only for a short distance. The water is infested with crocodiles and one could see a variety of birds. There is a restaurant...More

The best time would be in the mornings. The boat ride is a must. The boat man took us very close to the rock where a crocodile was resting. It was very scary at first but soon we realised that no animal will react unless...More

Bird watching @ Ranganathittu

Excellent place for week end getaways. This is located at Srirangapatna and is very close to Mysore city. Beautiful congregation of birds is a wonderful sight to watch. Often there are many migratory birds from various parts of the world.

Your itinerary is doable although a bit tight.If you can extend by couple of days,it would be better. Roads are overall good. Day 3 : Ranganathittu bird sanctuary is near Srirangapattana & not in Coorg and can be clubbed accordingly.

Day 3: Ranganathitu bird sanctuary. This is near Mysore and is best to combine it with your day 1 program. The rest (Thalacauvery, Madikeri ) are in a different direction. Roads are a mixed bag post the monsoons. While the highways are good, some of the sections (especially on the Mysore to Ooty stretch and a few around Madikeri) would slow you down - may be broken bits or pot holed, but nothing like not motor able.
