>< CooRg..........><

hi guys & gals
here we go to......

COORG - Dubbed as the Scotland of India

One trip to Coorg (Kodagu) and it’ll haunt you for the rest of your life.......>>>>>>

"Coorg" is the place to go for medium budgeted and fun loving family.....Its green in all the direction and very pretty ! Far away from the commercialization of most of the Tourist cities, this place has people who are willing to help you and you feel at home very much.
Language::They have their own language known as “Kodava language”. It has no script of its own. It is a combination of Kannada, Tamil and Malayalam. But the words of Kannada are more


Coorg is situated on the Western Ghats of Karnataka in South India

Madikeri - The capital of Coorg formerly called Mercara, Madikeri is often known as the Scotland of India, Also known for its lovely climate, Madikeri is a world record holder for the cardamom crop.

Omkareshwara Temple
With a dome in the middle of a square lake and minarets at each corner, this is a catholic mix of Keralite, Gothic and Islamic architectural styles. Built in 1820 by King Lingarajendra.



Abbi Falls
Just 7 kilometers from Madikeri town are the Abbi Falls, as remarkable and striking a sight as you would see anywhere. The narrow road to Abbi Falls is a combination of steep ups and downs, twists and turns, wriggling through the green and dense foliage of surrounding coffee plantations. Situated on private property, a narrow pathway leads you downward to where the waterfall can be seen.



Raja’s Seat
According to legend, the kings of Kodagu spent their evenings here. But what's unforgettable about Raja's seat is the spectacular sunset that one can enjoy from here. well maintained garden with a great views of the hills.
