Coorg is a charming hill station in Southern Peninsula. It's famous for cool waster, green rolling hills, and beautiful scenery. Coorg seemed like a little corner of England to the British.
They left behind a legacy, which is still an important source of National wealth. The well laid coffee and spice plantations in Coorg has earned it the distinction of Spice country. The trek passes through a coffee plantation, dense forest and valleys full of fresh and aromatic smell.
An ultimate destination for the sportiest is the Coorg Hills, which offer hiking, cross-country, and motoring down mountain trails.
The Kodagu region is full of trekking trails. The best season to trek is from October to the beginning of February. The other well-trodden trekking trails in Kodagu are in the Brahmagiri ranges of South Kodagu, where a forest trail leads from Iruppu Falls to the Brahmagiri peak.
