The estate first, the map second

Walks, birds, coffee and bonfires on the property — and the Hoysala heartland an hour away.

On the estate

Six ways to spend a day here

A guided hour through shade-grown Arabica, pepper vines and silver oak, ending with a cupping of the estate's own roast.

Drive or trek to the ridge for first light over the Western Ghats, with flasks of coffee carried up from the kitchen.

A shaded walk to the seasonal stream at the boundary of the estate — best between June and January.

Malabar barbets, hornbills, drongos and paradise flycatchers. Binoculars available at the desk.

Lanterns, board games and a bonfire on the lawn once the mist rolls in, weather permitting.

Edgestay is pet-friendly. Dogs are welcome on the trails, the lawn and inside the cottages with prior intimation.

Beyond the gate

We will arrange a car and a driver who knows the roads. Most guests do one outing and keep the rest of the weekend on the estate.

28 – 40 km

Hoysala stone carving at its peak; half a day is enough for both.

45 km

Coffee museums, cafés and the road up to Mullayanagiri.

62 km

Karnataka's highest point — go early to beat the cloud.

22 km

Kayaking and still water at sunset, 40 minutes from the gate.
