Apart from being popular for its coffee and people, Coorg is known for its skyscraping peaks and stupendous expanse of green landscapes—one among these is the mountain of Kotebetta that towers at 5500 feet. One of the most popular trekking destinations in South India, Coorg boasts about Kottebeta as the third highest peak after Tadiyandamol and Brahmagiri.

Day 1: Kote Betta Trek
Throughout the 14 kilometre trek to reach the pinnacle, the trail offers a treat to the eyes. While there is no doubt that you will come across carpets of coffee plantations, the trail will also take you through dense forests, narrow pathways and a wide expanse of lush green meadows.
Kottabetta translates to Fort Hill in Kannada. The locals here often tell stories about the Pandavas from Mahabhartha and believe that when in exile the brothers made the place their home for quite some time—they even built few stone houses, the remnants of which still remain scattered across Coorg.
An ancient yet functional Shiva temple close to the top of the peak marks the end of your ascend.
