Nestled amid ageless hills that line the
southernmost edge of Karnataka is the luscious Kodagu (Coorg) region,gifted with emerald landscapes and acres of plantations. A major centre for
coffee and spice production, this rural expanse is also home to the unique
Kodava race, believed to have descended from migrating Persians and Kurds, or
perhaps even Greeks left behind from Alexander the Great’s armies. The uneven
terrain and cool climate make it a fantastic area for trekking, birdwatching or
lazily ambling down little-trodden paths winding around carpeted hills. All in
all, Kodagu is rejuvenation guaranteed.
Kodagu was a state in its own right until
1956, when it merged with Karnataka. The region’s chief town and transport hub isMadikeri, but for an authentic Kodagu experience, you have to venture into theplantations. Avoid weekends, when places can quickly get filled up byweekenders from Bengaluru.
