The Weather is normally very cold that induces couples to cuddle-up almost all the time! A mild walk in the rain through the sleepy city sharing just one umbrella is an unique experience. There is an added charm in enjoying the mist and fog all around. The mountains and fields cover themselves with a verdant green carpet ready to welcome you to the land of eternal beauty while thunderstorm rolling in from all most anywhere.

In July, August and September rainfall is intense. Yearly rainfall may exceed 4,000 millimetres (160 in). The average rainfall is 2794 millimetre or 110 inches in the district.

This is an ideal time to see the cascading waterfalls flowing in their fullest that hits the rocks/stream below with a roar. Be extremely caution of slippery edges/rocks/steps.

We advice our monsoon travellers not to venture trekking or try any extreme nature adventure as leaches and snakes too enjoy their monsoon vacation! Importantly, watch your step ;) If you wish to play in the rain, dry up yourself ASAP, as chances are high that you catch common cold and ruin your vacation.

Winter Season: December, January and February

Coorg's winter months of December to February bring colder weather to much of this romantic hill station. Winter can be wild yet exhilarating and enjoyable. Winter lends its own cast to the Coorg landscape. Temperature gets more colder in the evening and early morning.

In the winter the mountains take on a completely different appearance. A clear bright day in winter can inspire and refresh even the most jaded heart. The rivers are turbulent and dark grey, and the light is misty.

This is an excellent time to visit mountains and other areas of scenic/landscape beauty. If you are an amateur photographer then early morning mist covered mountains are your best bet. Late in the evening, people with young-heart can also have fun by lighting campfire or bonfire.
