It was my first time touring a stretch of coffee plantation and I was so amused by the entire process of harvesting and coffee seeds separation. You must try some freshly brewed coffee here, we loved sipping on it.

Best 2 hours spent in Coorg with coffee plantations. The money safe guarantee and zero booking fees got me reeled in. The price was also not too high, which is an added highlight. The tour leader was well-read and very knowledgeable about the places we visited. Thanks.

It was my idea to book this tour for me and my friends on our coorg trip, and they just loved the tour. I was curious to see the whole process of coffee production and this tour gave me the right opportunity to witness everything in detail.
