We took a flight from Delhi to Bangalore and Coorg is a mere 6 hours drive from Bangalore. At present, not the best of roads lead to this land, perched not too high up in the Western Ghats at an altitude of 3000 and 4000 feet. The British called it "the Scotland of India" and not just for the topography, but also because the Coorgs like the Scots, wear very distinct costumes, enjoy their drink, have rugged games and sports, and have never been totally subjugated by external military force through their history. What really strikes you is the magnificence of the place as you drive through the best coffee plantations in the country. It's but natural to let the eyes wander around and absorb the picturesque scenery that whizzes past. Yet, one must be careful as the roads are often narrow and with 2-way traffic.
Coorg is all about coffee. With a fair amount of cardamom and pepper thrown in. As you drive on those winding roads through the coffee plantations, you'll wonder at the marvels and mysteries of Mother Nature and her endless enthusiasm to create spectacular sights that is every where exemplified in Coorg.
When we packed up our suitcases, we ensured we left our troubles and tensions behind. Because, when you are in Coorg you'll have time for nothing else but to admire this grandeur created by Mother Nature.
