Scotland of India

In the south west of the southern state known for its IT city Banglore Karnataka lies the

COORG: Prevalently known as the Scotland of India. 1525 m above sea level and around 250 km from Banglore, this hill station would give you the feel of being in a mini Scotland, the rising and falling roads, opaque green woodlands and tea and coffee planted sleepy hollow hills. Coorg not only offers misty hills and just a hill station away from the plain’s heat, it also offers an untouched wild life in  Nagarahole National Park where one can see tigers, elephants, langoors, snakes, and other very rare species of wild animals.

If you are a white water rafting freek or love fishing Coorg can be a heaven for you, most prominently a heaven which is not known to many. River Cauvery will give a spot on sensation to the rafters falling down from Madekiri hills towards brahmgiri.

Pure Vegetarians might find staying in Coorg a slight tricky as its main course of food consists of Non- Vegetarian food like lambs, pork, chiken etc.

finest time to visit the Scotland of India is from March to November, clothing to carry could be light woolens and cotton specialy in winter’s Dec -March.

How to reach: Regular bus service from main cities like Banglore, Mysore, Manglore  to madikeri hills is easily available.
