    Here are few tips for visitors to Malnad Region in Karnataka.

    Together we can preserve Malnad Greenery:

    1. Do not litter – Carry all your food and miscellaneous wastage and throw it in garbage bins,
    2. Open parties prohibited – Consuming alcohol in public is anyway prohibited. Beware of strict rules which can put you in trouble if you have parked a vehicle roadside and consuming alcohol.
    3. Camping Rules – Do not fall prey to Trekking and Camping companies running their business without prior permissions from concerned local authorities. They won’t help you when you are caught camping in an unauthorized forest or hilltop location.
    4. Trekking Rules – If you are planning for a trekking in Malnad then you need forest entry permissions. Most of the reserve forest in this region have strict rules. Speak to your host or hotel owner before venturing into unknown forest areas.
    5. Waterfalls Rules – Most of the waterfalls will be crowded during weekends. You need to be careful while playing in the water or posing for a selfie. Water can be a very dangerous place to play prank with friends.
    6. Bird-watching – Carry binoculars and stand at a distance to watch birds. If there is a nest around then beware it’s a bird’s home and needs privacy.
    7. Wildlife – There are several wildlife safaris organised by Govt of Karnataka. Do not venture into forest in the name of adventure and animal spotting. There are cases of wildlife animal attacks because of tourist negligence.
    8. Campfire – We can give you campfire at our Malnad Homestays during your stay. Do not venture into open fields or paddy fields in the name of ‘enjoying in nature’.
    9. Be a responsible traveller – If you find any other travellers misbehaving in tourist spots you can report tourism guards appointed by the Government. Educate your friends and family members by sharing this blog or spreading the word on whatsapp.

    Please carry a copy of your ID Proof to check in to any hotel/homestay/resort/club in Malnad Region,

  • The fun element in travelling that makes you rejuvenated

    It was one of the long weekends that we always craved in our work life and it happened during a national holiday on a Friday. When I told my family they were naturally excited about a trip to be planned for the long weekend. We had loads of things to be done and were obviously in dilemma about shortlisting the destination. There are several activities one can do during a long weekend and a professional holiday consultants like Travel Chords can be helpful in planning the trip meticulously.

    There are several hotels, homestays and resorts to choose for accommodation and umpteen number of destinations to visit. How do we narrow down on the best option available in the market and how to spend our holiday meaningfully was our concern. The more we dwell on these questions we got confused as the options were competing with each other. Our travel expert stepped in at the right time to help us plan our trip methodically.

    The Experience:

    We all wanted a thorough rejuvenating holiday experience along with having loads of fun. Holiday experts at TravelChords/TravelMalnad were very patient in listening to all our requirements and professionally planning our trip without a single glitch in time management. Our trip started well on time and also completed without any regret. To start with we had planned to cover Malnad first and then move on to the coastal belt as our kids were eager about beach holidays.

    The places we chose to cover were shortlisted by us with the help of our travel expert at Travel Malnad and he was very smart in analyzing our requirements. We chose Chikmagalur and Sakleshpur to cover in Malnad before heading towards Coastal Region. The stays and sightseeing places we got were extremely good and it helped us explore a lot of new places. The winter was welcoming us with a nice breeze wherever we traveled.

    The entire trip was like a gem to treasure and we all enjoyed it forgetting all our daily routines and work pressures. I was rejuvenated by the mesmerizing touch of Mother Nature which I was longing from several months. The cup coffee had in the middle of coffee estate was so special for all of us who used to consider the cafes in the city as the best just for its modernity. The hosts at all the Malnad Homestays were very caring and they treated us just as their family members and friends.
