On the trail Bangalore to Coorg in India
When a place is referred to as the Scotland of India, it needs no further introduction. Coorg is a tranquil, little town in Southern Karnataka, cradled in the Western Ghats. It is famous mainly for its austere sights, varied wildlife, world-class coffee and the Kodavas, the ethnic warrior people of Coorg.
In recent years, the place has been gaining popularity as one of the most-visited tourist destinations in India. If you haven't visited Coorg already, here are some reasons why it should be the next place you visit:
Crossing the Brahmagiri, Talakaveri, and Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuaries, and Nagarhole National Park in Coorg on the way.
Flowering Coffee Plants.
The Bahuballi Bull
Road lined trees en-route to Nagarhole National Park.
Several streams combine on the steep slopes of the Western Ghats to form the Abbi Falls. From here, the water flows into the Cauvery river.
Tea Estates on the hill terrain roads.
Tadiandamol Peak
At 5724 feet, Tadiandamol is the highest peak in Coorg and the ideal place for a trek. Just a few kilometres from the peak is Padi Igguthappa temple, one of the holiest temples of the Kodavas. The trek is long and weary but the peace and quiet at the top is definitely worth all the effort! 
Nisargadhama
An island near Coorg formed by the Cauvery river, Nisargadhama can be accessed by a hanging bridge. The place is perfect for vacations and boat rides. The 25-acre island is full of bamboo, teak and sandalwood trees and is a home to animals like deers, peacocks and rabbits.
Coorg Cuisine
Local legend has it that Kodavas are descendants of Alexander the Great. They are pure non-vegetarians and their meat is cooked with a lot of coconut, spices and curry leaves. Some of the famous Coorg dishes are Pandi Curry, Atti Payasa, Kadubu and Baimbale!
