How to reach Coorg? Find out about transport options to get here and to get around locally in Madikeri..

By Road

Coorg is situated on the Karnataka State Highway 88 that runs from Mysore to Mangalore. It is 120 km from Mysore and 136 km from Mangalore.

From Bangalore, the state capital of Karnataka, one can take the State Highway 17 (Bangalore - Mysore Highway) and take a deviation just after the town of Srirangapatna to join State Highway 88 towards Madikeri.

From Bangalore, Coorg is at a distance of 252 km. Nearby towns are Hassan (115 km) in Karnataka state and Cannanore and Tellicherry in the Kerala state (each around 115 km. away). 

By Train

Coorg does not have a railway station. Nearest railway stations are Hassan, Kasaragod, Cannanore and Tellicherry (each of which are almost equidistant 115 km away). Mysore and Mangalore have railway stations with very good rail connectivity and are good alternatives to reach Madikeri. 

By Air / Nearest Airport

Coorg does not have an airport. The nearest airports are Mangalore (136 km. away) and Calicut (180 km). Bangalore airport is an alternative. However, with the upgradation of the existing Mysore airport (still not complete), that would be the nearest airport to Madikeri. Your best option is to fly to Bangalore and then get here by car or bus.
