 Nature walks at adi pepper demo farm is a great trail to know about the main crops of Coorg and the wildlife associated with it. Visiting this place gives you a wast knowledge about the agroforestry and how people are associated with wildlife and agriculture. Entering the farm you can see local  guides welcoming you with a wide smile to assist and be a part of your enrichment. The farm manager is very much interested and has been indulging in many different experiments with these commercial crop to help cultivators and the wildlife to sustain. 



Coffee being the main crop of Coorg has also provided space for wild trees and paddy. In association with coffee there are few other crops like pepper, beetle leaf, banana, coorg oranges, and silver oak which are also grown for the commercial uses. The local guides takes you on a trail explaining about coffee and showcasing the wide variety of insects and other lives around. The best part is the sacred tree where the community joins to celebrate their harvest festival HUTTARI singing their songs and dancing in groups celebrate the festival. A medium level trek is also offered for the nature enthusiasts. After all these there is a stream walk to release all your stress and to chill out watching the birds and crabs.
