Coorg
Hotels
A
friendly warning to all concerned: One trip to Coorg (Kodagu)
and it’ll haunt you for the rest of your life. You
might leave Coorg, but Coorg will never leave you.
Don’t blame us if you keep returning to it time and
again.
That’s Coorg for you- incomparable scenic beauty,
lush green valleys, coffee plantations, teak wood
forests & majestic mountain ranges. Add to that a
strong, brave martial race of Coorgs (Kodavas) that
reveres tradition, has a distinct culture and lives
life to its fullest.
Coorg is situated on the Western Ghats of Karnataka in
South India. For the adventurous at heart, it is an
absolute treat. There are trekking, golfing and
angling (Mahaseer too!) options available. Religious
trips abound on Hindu and Buddhist circuits. Family
getaways can be easily arranged. You can also relax
your body and mind with special Ayurvedic massages.
Coorg is also as trendy and happening as its close
neighbour Bangalore.
But the predominant entity here is nature at its best.
Coorg is like the dreamland of the philosopher. If
you’re the type who likes to mingle with nature,
romance in the mountains, feel the tingle of the cool
and gentle breeze, watch leaves flutter in dance-like
movements and hear sounds of birds fill the air, then
Coorg is just the place for you.!
