At southernmost edge of Karnataka lies the luscious region of Kodagu, also known as Coorg. Nestled amid ageless hills, Kodagu is gifted with emerald landscapes and acres of plantations. Coorg is known for its hospitality and is one of the best destinations in India for nature lovers.
The cool climate and uneven terrain make this a paradise for trekking down little-trodden paths winding around carpeted hills. Birdwatching or simply lazy walking around undulating landscapes and quaint villages are also extremely popular here. The nearest railway station is Mysore, some 100 kms away. But buses are frequent and connect Kodagu to nearby Karnataka cities such as Mysore and Mangalore, among others. The bus journey is about 4-5 hours away.
