About 
As suggested by my blogger friends I am glad to share a few pictures as a separate post.
The Resort where we stayed.
The Mangalorean style entrance of the resort.
The Beautiful valley of Coorg/Kodagu in Karnataka.
The pretty Madikeri town.Kodagu district.
The Coffee plant bearing the berries.
The coffee estate.We had to walk a little through this to reach ...
..The Abbey falls.We were warned not to go near as the monsoon water rush proved to be dangerous.
The well maintained Omkareshwar Temple of Lord Shiva, Madikeri. 
The Temple tank.One can see the unique combo of the Persian Muslim dome with the Hindu Golden Flag atop!!..
The 'Raja's Seat' of Madikeri,Coorg.King Vira Rajendra Wodayar ,the last king of Kodagu, is believed to have watched the sun setting behind the beautiful misty mountains, from here.The view from this point is the pic no 3, up!.
We also experienced the adventurous and the exciting,"White water rafting" of Dubare. If you ever get a chance to do this anywhere, please go ahead.Those who do not know swimming(like me) must surely try ;)..
The drive up to the source of the River Cauvery, Tala Cauvery, and a holy bath there, washed away all our sins..:D..
Asha has a handful of childhood memories associated with this lovely place...this is specially posted for RCI-Karnataka hosted by this lucky gal :).
By the way, this is definitely NOT a cruel intention to turn her homesick and nostalgic while busy doing her fabulous round up.. ;)..:D..

ReplyDeleteBharathy, I wish I was there with you girl.When I saw the Temple, Raja's seat , coffee plants and Abbey Falls, my heart skipped a beat. I almost had tears in my eyes, and I am not a very emotional person!
ReplyDeleteMy SIL is from Madikeri too, her dad has a estate there. My grandfather's and my FIL's estates are near Belur and Sakleshpura, in Hassan district but we do have many relatives in Coorg too.We are not Coorgis or Kodavas but Lingayat coffee planters!:))
My dad was a judge there in Madikeri Civil court for more than 5 yrs and used to live near the college up the hill if you have seen it.
Thank you so much for this post.I will show Arvind too, he is out now. Hugs Bharathy, more photos if you have please!

ReplyDeleteWow you sure had agreat relaxing vacation, beautiful pics
ReplyDeleteVery nice pics. Coorg is indeed a b'ful place. heaven on earth i would say.
ReplyDeleteBharathy - Coorg/Kodagu is not lik Kerala. The food is very distinct. Though there is influence of coconut, it definetly is different. I am a coorg and i have been in Kerala too. Also, the landscape is very different,though it is green alike kerala, it is mostly made up of mountains and streams and coffee estates. There are no beaches or seashores. Coorg is distict and the pepople of coorg and their language, food, dress, looks are far different and does not resemble any south indian regional people or places. Though, in recent years there is influence of certain ingredients that is used in cooking.
ReplyDeleteWarm Welcome Preeth!!..
ReplyDeleteI am pleasantly surprised to see your comment in my place! ..:)..
Nice to note that you are from Coorg!..
Just meant to say Coorg is "more or less" like Kerala..Yes the food is a little different from Kerala and supports Kannadiga food...But the climate is almost the same...Rains till September etc..
The quality of Flora is richer in Coorg!!..Of course Coorg is not a coastal spot as we all know.. :)
Why so much of research?We enjoyed every moment there..One of our best holidays in India...The resort was great..esp the food!!..We enjoyed the Coorgi dinner served in the resort and the leaf lunch in Adithi of Madikeri..!!..
The only part which set our mood off were those pathetic roads leading to the place from Mysore!..
Coorg attracts mainly the local tourists as of now. If the Govt shows interest in better conveyences,for sure,we can promote foreign tourists as well..
