A hill-station town in Karnataka's Kodagu district, Madikeri sits in one of the world's recognised biodiversity hotspots — a landscape that has also earned UNESCO World Heritage status in the wider region. The town itself ranked first in India for air quality in 2024, and its walkable centre has a real café and restaurant scene, with scenic viewpoints in the surrounding hills. It lies between Mangalore and Mysore, making it a practical base for the region.
