Hi,
Tarun,if we are 2 or 3 people then travelling by cab is always good,as you calculate the volvo bus charge for two way it would come around 2000 for 3 people,so using the cab you can travel to mysore and then visit coorg and visit all places ,we provide cab at nominal rate if you any details you can mail ootyholidayin(at)gmail.com,Places to see in madikeri : Abbi falls, Talacauvery, Bhagamandala, Raja's Seat. Also you can enjoy walks at coffee estates, or do a small trek.
Around Madikeri : Kushalnagar is around 35 Km from madikeri, and has a few places to see around.
Dubare : If you can visit dubare before 9AM, you can take part in the elephant interaction program, and see them bathing/feeding. Also you can help the mahout bathing them, fee Rs 100 per person. Also you can take a ride on them after bathing at around 11AM.
Nisargadham : 3 KM from before kushalnagar, when coming from madikeri, cool place to spend a few hours. Its open from 9.30 to 5 pm. If you want to take bath in cauvery, bring extra clother and take a plunge, or just take a small boat ride here. Also you can feed the hungry deers, rabbits here kept in enclosures.
Golden temple: 5-6 KM from kushalnagar, towards bangalore. Namdroling monastery, or the golden temple, situated in bylakuppe is a must visit place. Come here and you would feel you are in tibet. A few tibetan shops around to do some shopping as well.
