Coorg's beauty depends on its forests, rivers and plantations. As more couples visit, travelling responsibly helps keep this landscape special for years to come.
Carry less plastic
Bring reusable water bottles and cloth bags. Avoid single-use plastic and never leave litter at viewpoints, waterfalls or trails.
Respect private estates
Much of Coorg's land is privately owned plantations. Do not enter estates without permission, and do not pick coffee berries, pepper or fruit.
Be wildlife-aware
Coorg borders forests where elephants and other animals live. Never feed animals, keep noise low on forest roads and follow guidance from forest staff and locals.
Stay safe near water
Rivers and waterfalls can be dangerous, especially in the monsoon. Stay behind barriers and follow local warnings. Responsible travel also means not putting yourself or rescuers at risk.
Drive carefully
Hill roads are narrow and winding. Drive slowly, honk only when needed on blind curves and avoid parking in ways that block traffic.
Support local livelihoods
Buy coffee, spices, honey and handicrafts from local shops and estates. Eat at local restaurants and hire local guides and drivers.
Respect Kodava culture
Dress modestly at temples and during local festivals, and ask before photographing people.
Save water and power
Small habits, such as reusing towels and switching off lights and heaters when leaving the room, make a difference.
Choose responsible stays
Ask how properties manage waste, water and energy, and whether they source food locally. When comparing Coorg honeymoon resorts, these practices are worth weighing alongside price and views.
A honeymoon is the start of a shared journey. Starting it with care for the places you visit is a beautiful way to begin.
