Coorg

Nestled amidst the lush rolling hills and valleys of the Western Ghats, Coorg is one of the most affluent hill stations in Karnataka offering unequaled luxurious holidays to tourists.

Fondly referred to as the 'Scotland of India' and sometimes as 'Kashmir of the South' due to its verdant beauty and salubrious weather conditions, Coorg has a special place among all hill stations in India.

Nestled at the altitude in the range of 3500 ft above sea level, the mountainous Kodagu (or Coorg) region is home to the Kodava people and Tibetan refugees. The natural majesty and lush environs of this hill station make it an ideal place for trekking, bird-watching and rejuvenation.

If you are traveling here in April-May, then driving along the winding roads over hills offers spectacular vista as you drive past spice and coffee plantations recently bloomed into fragrant white blossoms.

Located as it is in the Western Ghats, Coorg also offers trekking opportunities which vary from easy to moderate. While trekking in Coorg, you may hire local guides who arrange for food and lodging.

Other activity to let you indulge is golf with 3 golf courses which are located in Polibetta, Mercara and Coorg Golf Link in Bittangala.

Best Time: Except for Monsoon , Coorg is best visited throughout the year. Maximum temperature seldom go beyond 30 degrees even during peak summer season.

Tourism in India

                               What is the real essence of travel! 

IndiaTourism

We are not just tourists when we travel, we are like ambassadors , we are peacemakers and even storytellers . We present points of view which people people don't get a chance to see in media . We might actually be the only person from our country they will ever have personal contact with. Travel is not just go - see - experience and leave, but it's a two-way street . It's an interactive experience. That's true even if you travel to the next town . We have absolutely no idea what's there in people's minds . People want to talk they want to tell you about who they are. We can ask them meaningful questions and invite them to ask us too. It's an invitation to more questions and exchanges and deep listening. Something can happen for them and something can happen for us.
Hope we see some interaction next time we see you in India!
