- Ajith sarmaThiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), India285 contributionsNice parkThr Rajas seat and park at madikere is attraction mainly for kids, though all who visit here will try a go. It's basically a park. With Raja seat facing the village. Better to be in the evening, with musical fountain at around 8 pmVisited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 27 December 2022
- Planet LifeMumbai, India27 contributionsSunset point in CoorgIts essentially a sunset point where you should reach at least 20 minutes prior to the sunset. If you enjoy the view of the mountains this is the place for you. Amazing view on three sides. Its a bliss watching the sun go down the hills.Visited January 2023Written 13 January 2023
- SMLikestoTravelBengaluru, India254 contributionsCan visit once when in Coorg, expect huge crowd at sunsetWe reached here late evening. We missed the sunset view because it was already getting dark . Should have reached half an hour earlier, say by 5 pm. There was a huge crowd and hardly any place to stand near the viewpoint. Lot of stalls outside if you want to have tea/coffee and some light snacks like corn. Do note that none of these eatables are allowed inside the park so make sure to finish eating before entry or else leave it for the end.Visited November 2022Travelled with familyWritten 20 January 2023
- SheetalPatankarMumbai, India77 contributionsLovely sunset and musical fountain showIf you love watching the sunset, this is the place to be. Its a lovely garden with a lot of benches from where you can watch the sunset. There is a 15 minute musical fountain show every day which starts at 7 pm on weekdays and 7.15 pm on weekends. Nice place to spend the evening.Visited February 2023Written 24 February 2023
- AltabasTravelsLondon, United Kingdom203 contributionsNice view but super-commercialised and busy with some quite tacky statues in the parkA nice place to stop at sunset and take in the view but it is very commercialised and busy. There's a load of fairly random statues in the park some of which make sense e.g. rhino, elephant, but others that are just a bit random like dinosaurs and rabbits. Not entirely sure what to make of that!Visited February 2023Written 5 March 2023
- AnkushNoida, India104 contributionsGood placeA place to watch the sunset in Madikeri. It has a good well maintained garden with a lot of benches. There have a musical fountain show every day which starts around 7 pm though I did not watched it. A nice place to spend time with your family or friends and enjoy evening. They have some paid adventure activities also.Visited March 2023Written 30 March 2023
- naratharBengaluru, India206 contributionsA place to spend your time in madikeri with familyWhen you are on a vacation to coorg you enjoy the climate more as there are not much of tourist points to visit. Rajas seat is one point where you can enjoy with family. Your kids will enjoy the statues of animals and birds. There is a good park to go around, towers to have good valley view and good walking space. Enjoy the breeze even when the temperature is high outside. May take an hour to go round. Do not miss to visit the Amman temple adjacent to the park.Visited April 2023Written 3 May 2023
- Pioneer299585727771 contributionRaja's Seat - Tourist's important point of visitRaja's Seat is located in the heart of Madikeri (Coorg) city. Once you enter the Garden, you are amazed by its beauty ! There are colourful splash of multitude of flowers in bloom and the breathtaking scene with lovely aroma of flowers makes you awe stuck. As you go down few stairs, there is sunset view point and one gets mesmerised to see sun going down in the mountains and slowly darkness engulfs the whole area.At 7.30 pm or so there is light and water show. Lot of tourists throng this place to enjoy the colourful light show. Its must for all visitors coming to Coorg to enjoy this lovely garden with rare flowers and huge topiary designs of animal shapeVisited June 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 28 June 2023
- Mohan R7 contributionsAwe inspiringWe went there at 9 in the morning on a day when it was still misty at that hour. As we waited, the skies cleared and the sun burnt the mists away, to reveal a stunning view of a valley hundreds of meters below. It was one of the most magical experiences of our lives. Astonishing, exhilarating, splendid. Over the next three days, we went there every morning and evening, only to experience a different spectacular view each time. Definitely a bucket list experience - Come to Madikeri if only for this!Visited July 2023Written 3 July 2023
- Sandy_JSRJamshedpur, India1,565 contributionsRefreshing and RelaxingLocated within the town, the place seems to one of the most popular hangout spots for tourists as well as for locals. We visited couple of times and found the place crowded every time. It is a well-maintained garden that offers nice valley view, however when we visited, it was foggy and hence could not get much view. The garden also offers certain activities like zip lining, toy train etc. In the evening, we witnessed musical fountain, which was though small and with music in local language, was enjoyable. The place presents a refreshing setting and enjoyable environment especially for family. An ideal place for leisurely stroll and relax.Visited June 2023Written 16 July 2023

I am not too amazed why the king would choose this place to spend an evening! It's the grand view and clouds above you at a hand's stretch that would make you feel like on the top of the world. A must visit place when at Madikeri. There is an evening musical fountain and hence it becomes crazy crowded. I would recommend you to visit during morning hours.

Though the area is small, it is well maintained. Relaxing on one of the benches and watching the sun go down is calming!

Road to Raja's Seat is as good as any road in a town. Parking is by the road, but finding space is not a problem. It is quite close to the city centre - one can walk down in say 15-20 minutes. It is on a hill, but one doesn't realize that and it is not a climb, because the entire Madikeri is at a height.

Raja's seat and Raja's Tomb are two different places. There is an entry fee to Raja's seat since it is a view point, but Raja's Tomb has no entry fees and it is located along the road.

Hi, I am planning to take my parents to coorg in Sept. Very confused in terms of places to take them? My mother has knee issues, so can't walk much. Where can I take them? Should we take up accommodation in madikheri or kushalnagar? which will be better to minimise travel time to visit any of the places? Need help urgently. Tia

hello priyanka, let me know your starting point. if you are coming from Bangalore or Mysoor, Kushal nagar will be the starting point. from there you should get the golden temple. vehicle will reach up to the main gate of the temple so your mam don't need to walk a lot, after that move to madikari. on the way you should get Cauvery Nisargadhama, but it will not stable for your mam. we need to walk around 3 km. abbi falls also not stable. Raja seat is the better option for your mam. and you can stay in madikari itself.

Is Raja's Seat easily accessible to older people? Are there too many steps / too much of walking distance from the parking?
