Madikeri Friday Santhe Stall

A weekly presence at the [Madikeri](/madikeri-heritage-walk) Friday [santhe](/the-santhe-morning), this family stall has sold estate produce, Coorg oranges, local honey, and dried Kodava spices for three generations. The table is easy to find near the bus-stand end of the market, marked by burlap sacks and handwritten price tags. Beyond produce, the stall offers practical advice on what is in season and which estates nearby accept overnight guests. Arrive before nine for the best selection, especially during the monsoon when wild mushrooms and bamboo shoots sell out quickly. Cash is preferred; call ahead if you need bulk orders.
