(Karnataka)


Coffee Country

Forget the alarm clocks and watches. Vacation is not the time for them! Smile, for here at Coorg, you have Mother Nature waking you up to the gentle chirping of birds. Look out over yonder with a cuppa coffee and stretch your legs. This small, hilly region within Karnataka, is surrounded by lush green forests, undulating paddy fields, neat trim coffee plantations stretched out in row for as far as eyes can see. The thick pleasant mist rolling down the woods, a lovely blue sky, gurgling brooks and streams, it is no wonder that the region is called Scotland of the East. Nirvana! If this is not it then what is?

Coorg promises to cater to your whims and fancy. A lazy morning walk or an adventurous outing! Be it a walk in the rain or the aroma of the damp earth which surrounds you with a feeling of sublime peace and tranquility, you just enter a time wrap here. It takes you back to your bygone childhood. It takes you back to your carefree days. That, my friend is what Coorg is all about!

Where to Eat
Coorgi cuisine is tempered generously with coconut, curry leaves, chilli, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ginger and spices like pepper and cardamom. These spices grow here in abundance and are used in generous amounts. But veggies are in for some disappointment Coorgis are compulsive meat eaters and their all-time favourite is pork. So, the veggies only hope is the Udupi Hotel that serves pure vegetarian, or the usual masala dosas at East End Hotel (near Tollgate, Madikeri). East End serves drinks as well. Coorg Hotel (opposite Gen. Cariappa's statue) dishes out authentic Coorg curry and paranthas. Located near the Raja's Seat is Raj Darshan which offers local fare and north Indian food.
