Coorg (Kodagu) in April
Karnataka, India
Coorg in April is the Coffee Blossom tail plus pre-monsoon transition. Daytime 27-31C at 1170m, nights 17-19C, humidity climbing past 65 percent, rainfall 60-100mm with pre-monsoon thunderstorms hitting the last 10 days. The Coffee Blossom window often runs into April 5-10 — the 7-10 day visual peak depends on first-rain timing. Late-March / early-April blossoms remain at peak; the jasmine-scented white-carpet visual across 1,02,000+ hectares of Arabica plantation across Kodagu is the year's defining Western Ghats experience. Tata Coffee Plantation Trails, Coffee Day Estates, Evolve Back, Old Kent Estates run extended blossom-tour hours. Abbey Falls (5km, 70ft drop, ₹15), Talacauvery (44km, the Cauvery river source at Brahmagiri 1276m), Bhagamandala (40km, triveni sangam), Madikeri Fort, Omkareshwara Temple (1820 Lingayat-Islamic hybrid), Raja's Seat (1175m sunset viewpoint, ₹15) all at full schedule though mid-day temperatures push outdoor walks to 6-10am and 5-7pm windows. Iruppu Falls (Brahmagiri border with Wayanad) at year-lowest flow until first heavy pre-monsoon rains hit.
