CATCH THE RICH AROMA OF COFFEE IN COORG

 

 

 

Coorg lies 1525m above sea level in the Western Ghats. It is one of the most well-known hill stations in Karnataka, and a preferred summer retreat in the south. Referred to as 'the Scotland of India', beyond its natural landscape, it is also known for its coffee.

 Coorg is located in the pristine western Ghat, and the distance is about 245 km from Bangalore.

Coorg does not have a railway station so most people travel either to Mysore or to Mangalore from Bangalore. The best option is Mysore since it is the closest railway station and there are over 20 buses plying on a daily basis to Madikeri and many other towns in Coorg like Virajpet, Somwarpet, Hassan etc.

 Since the roads to Coorg are well-maintained, traveling from Bangalore to Coorg by car or bike can be a pleasant experience. The best part is that you will be able to stop at will and enjoy the natural delights on the route. There is more than one route that you can take to reach Coorg.

 The Tamara Coorg is well connected by road from different cities and towns. The last 4 kms of the motorable approach road to the resort itself is a part of The Tamara Coorg experience. The road has sharp hairpin bends, and offers a magnificent view of the Coorgi hills over a steep narrow climb.

 While you can take any of the two routes, we recommend Route 1 Via NH 275. The road conditions are excellent and the time taken is less. However, it is advisable to check live traffic updates before leaving for your trip.

 The Bangalore to Coorg distance is about 250 km via NH 275. The route takes you to Coorg via Mysore. It is a relatively shorter route than the alternative second route via NH 75 that goes through Channarayapatna.

 A 3-day trip to Coorg allows you to explore its main attractions such as Abbey Falls, Dubare Elephant Camp, Mandalpatti, and Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary. You can also immerse yourself in activities like trekking, coffee plantation tours, and boating in Honnamana Kere Lake.

 Coorg has a pleasant climate throughout the year, but it can get chilly in the evenings. Pack a mix of lightweight and warm clothing to stay comfortable.

 Kadambuttu is one of Coorg's famous foods. It is made by mixing rice flour and hot water to form a dough, which is then shaped into small, round balls. The balls are then steamed in a special cylindrical steamer called a kundi, made from bamboo.

 It is one of the most popular and easily accessible hill stations in South India, offering a blend of stunning landscapes and rich history. The panoramic views of the verdant hills, the intoxicating aroma of coffee and spices, and the scenic waterfalls make Coorg a captivating destination.

 Do plan a trip to Coorg to catch the rich aroma of coffee.
