Coorg

About Coorg

Also known as Kodagu, Coorg is the Scotland of India — a lush hill district in Karnataka famous for coffee plantations, spice gardens, and misty hills. This major coffee-producing region is home to the Kodava warrior community known for their distinct culture, cuisine, and the famous Kodava pork curry. Abbey FallsAbbey Falls cascades amidst coffee and spice plantations, while Talakaveri — the origin of the River Kaveri — is a sacred pilgrimage site. Raja's SeatRaja's Seat offers panoramic sunset views over the valleys, and Dubare Elephant Camp lets you bathe and interact with elephants. The Nagarhole National Park (Rajiv Gandhi National Park) on Coorg's border is one of India's finest tiger reserves. Homestays in coffee estates are the best way to experience Coorg — wake up to misty mornings, walk through coffee bushes, and enjoy home-cooked Kodava cuisine.
