Pack the car. Tara and Vikram are getting married at the end of this map.

Tara and Vikram met on a wrong turn outside Mysore. So the wedding starts the same way: everyone drives, the route is the celebration, and the vows wait at a coffee estate above the clouds.

The route

  1. A travel map with a camera and journal laid out for a trip
    Thu, 7:00 AM

    Stop one: the send-off

    Filter coffee, convoy stickers, and the send-off from Tara's terrace in Bengaluru.

    Depart
  2. A forest road disappearing into morning mist
    Thu, 1:00 PM

    Stop two: the wrong turn

    Lunch at the exact Mysore dhaba where the wrong turn happened. Order the dosa.

    Detour
  3. A view over the wing of a plane above the clouds
    Thu, 6:00 PM

    Stop three: above the clouds

    The climb into Coorg, estate gates, bonfires, and the first toast of the weekend.

    Arrive
  4. A mountain valley trail in golden light
    Sat, 12:30 PM

    The destination: vows

    Vows in the coffee blossom clearing, lunch on the ridge, and nowhere left to drive.

Traveller's notes

Convoy

The convoy leaves Bengaluru at 7:00 AM on the 21st. Stragglers are loved but lightly mocked.

Pack

Road comfort until Coorg; estate elegance after. Pack one warm layer. Plantation nights bite.

Flying in

Fly to Bengaluru or Mangaluru. Estate jeeps meet anyone who'd rather not drive the last hill.

Gifts

Your presence at every stop is the gift. The playlist link appears after you drop your pin.
