Coorg

Editor's Note

Picture this - layer and layer of undulating landscape, covered in thin mist. Towering bamboo and rosewood trees. Gushing waterfalls, meandering streams. Rows of fragrant coffee bushes, cardamom, nutmeg, orange and lemon grass plantations. Animals like elephants, tigers and the Malabar Squirrel scurry past. Welcome to Coorg. You could plan it like a romantic getaway or a leisurely holiday. It could even be a home for the adventurous at heart, given the number of scenic treks here - try the Mojo Rainforest Trek through 25-acres of organic farms, the Talacauvery-Brahmagiri Peak, Kakkabe to Malma and Thadiyendamol, and the Honey Valley. It has none of the usual touristy crowd and all other ingredients of a wholesome holiday. Definitely a sojourn for the soul…
