Good things are worth waiting for...


Imagine miles of undulating topography carpeted with every shade of green, covered gently by white mist with murmuring streams and rivulets, the children of the mighty Cauvery, herself born within this realm, wending her way through her land. Waterfalls, deep ravines, meadows, thick jungles, coffee bushes studded with red berries, and spices like pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, and lemongrass all add to this beautiful place. It has a plethora of flora and fauna. How can one forget about the crisp air-conditioned weather? We are talking about the beautiful Land of the Kodavas, the Scotland of India: Coorg.
Coorg is a trekker’s paradise. The Shephard’s Trek Trail is a lesser-known trail in the Shola Forests region of Coorg. It is a 12 -14 km trek with beautiful meadows filled with Neelakurinji flowers which bloom occasionally, but when they do, the whole mountains turn into a shade of violet. The trail also includes a thick jungle, waterfalls, and streams.
Keeping in mind the Covid-19 pandemic, we are following the safety protocols and guidelines as the government advised. Clean homestays, sanitized buses, and frequent checks using oximeters are some protocols we follow. Since it is a lesser-known trek trail, there are usually no other people on the trail.

To ensure everyone has a great time and knows what to expect, please read these important points:
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
We’ll arrange transportation based on our group size. If there are 12 or fewer of us, we’ll use a tempo traveler. For groups of 13 or more, it’ll be a mini-bus. Both options are non-AC and have push-back seats for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding our travel logistics.
If you prefer to arrange your own transportation to the destination (the homestay), be sure to book the “Without Travel” option when you sign up. Please note: If you select this, you’ll need a private car for your entire trip. Public transport won’t work, as our Day 2 activities begin directly from the homestay and require continuous private car access to ensure you can fully participate in all planned activities.
Our trips are about getting out into nature, often in remote locations. Please don’t expect luxury accommodations; we focus on providing comfortable basic facilities.
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
Please help us keep our beautiful outdoors clean by disposing of all litter properly.
You are responsible for your personal belongings, valuables, and jewelry. Plan The Unplanned is not liable for any lost items.
While we strive to be on schedule, please be aware that traffic delays or vehicle breakdowns can sometimes occur, leading to slight delays in reaching our destination.
You’ll get an event heads-up email by Thursday of the trip week. It includes:
