A quiet town in Coorg, Somwarpet is surrounded by coffee estates and is a gateway to the spectacular Mallalli Falls and the Pushpagiri trekking trail.
Somwarpet is a taluk headquarters in the Coorg district, representing a more subdued and authentic side of the region compared to the busier tourist centers. The town itself is a simple administrative hub, but its real appeal lies in the surrounding landscape. Vast stretches of coffee estates, punctuated by silver oak trees and pepper vines, dominate the scenery. The air here often carries the fragrance of coffee blossoms or drying beans, depending on the season. Visitors experience a slower pace of life, with opportunities to stay in family-run homestays set within plantations.
