Signature Experiences
At Old Kent Estates, live a day in the life of an elite coffee planter. Take a guided tour with our friendly estate manager – right from inspecting the workers pruning the bushes and picking the berries, to observing how the coffee beans are processed, dried and roasted at our pulper house. Depending on the season and time of your visit, you will get to see a different part of the coffee process in action. Experience a holiday filled with nature, nostalgia, and adventure while gaining an in-depth understanding of this sought-after elixir at one of the country’s oldest coffee plantations. We conduct annual ‘Crop To Cup’ workshops by inviting International Coffee experts and connoisseurs. This is the perfect activity for travelers seeking a true plantation stay in Coorg or a coffee estate stay in Madikeri.
BIRD WATCHING
At Old Kent, nature hums with life all around you. The estate, nestled in the heart of the Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world’s top five biodiversity hotspots, is home to an astonishing variety of flora and fauna. The shaded coffee plantations and ancient trees provide a natural sanctuary where over 200 species of birds have been spotted, from the melodious Malabar whistling thrush to the vibrant ruby-throated bulbul. Early mornings are often filled with the call of hornbills gliding overhead, while evenings bring the chatter of parakeets and the rhythmic drumming of woodpeckers. Beyond birdlife, the estate teems with butterflies, rare orchids, and small mammals that thrive in this delicate ecosystem. A walk through the plantations becomes more than just a stroll, it is an immersive experience of Coorg’s living, breathing biodiversity.
