Not
really too far from the bustle of metropolitan cities, Kodagu or Coorg
as it is better known, has maintained its serene picturesque beauty over
the centuries. Homesick always, the British called this land Scotland
of India.These breathtakingly beautiful rolling hills in Karnataka nestling cash rich coffee plantations, clear skies and a warm, friendly and hospitable people create a special aura unmatched anywhere else in the country.
This little area in the Western Ghats has an ancient history, ruled successively by the Kadambas, Gangas, Chengalvars, Cholas, Hoysalas, Vijaynagara, etc. and finally the British. But the region always retained its strong cultural heritage, distinctive to this day. The fiercely brave martial tradition has produced many brave generals for India.
