🛫Destination of the Month: Coorg
Tucked away in the folds of Karnataka’s Western Ghats, Coorg isn't just a place, it’s a feeling that rises with the morning mist and lingers long after you’ve left.
As monsoon rains kiss its rolling hills, this ‘Scotland of India’ transforms into an emerald dream, where coffee-scented air and symphonies of birdsong turn every moment into poetry. Here, you don’t just travel—you slow down, breathe deeply, and let nature write your itinerary. With its cooler temperatures, occasional downpours, and dramatic skies, Coorg in the rainy season is a haven for those seeking both romance and solitude.
But Coorg is more than its landscapes. It's also rich in Kodava culture, with its own unique language, festivals, and martial traditions. You’ll taste that heritage in every plate of Pandi Curry, sip of freshly brewed filter coffee, and walk through aromatic plantations run by generations of coffee growers. Visit the majestic Abbey Falls, the tranquil Raja’s Seat for panoramic views, or the mist-draped Mandalpatti viewpoint. For spiritual seekers, the Namdroling Monastery in nearby Bylakuppe offers a vibrant slice of Tibetan culture amidst the rains.
Whether you’re hiking through rain-fed trails, savoring spicy Kodava cuisine, or simply curling up in a plantation homestay with a book and a brew, Coorg promises a monsoon escape that awakens every sense.
