Kodagu is in the western ghats. There are a number of valleys, forest, waterfalls and religious places in and around Coorg. This makes it one of the favourite holiday destination. The climate, the orange farms, coffee plantations etc gives us a remarkable experience of the journey.
Coorg or Kodagu is often called as the Sctotland of India. This hilly region is famous for Coffee plantations. One can see a large number of coffee estates and spices cultivation on the way to Coorg.
Madikeri is an important city in Coorg. It has got a number of prominent places nearby. Transportation to all the destinations are available from here. Also 90 % of the hotels are in this part of Coorg.
Rajas seat is the nearest point from Madikeri. It was build by the Rajas of Kodagu for their recreational purpose. The view from the Rajas seat is stunning. People gather here during morning to watch the sunrise. Have a look at the sunrise at Raja seat...
Rajas seat is a jogging spot also, during morning hours you could find several joggers. A well maintained garden is an added attraction of this place.
Some shots from the garden.
Abbey falls is another place worth watching. It is an artificial water fall created just in the midst of a coffee plantation. Its only 10 kms from Madikeri. Rickshaws ply to this area. One has to walk at least a km through the thick coffee plantations to reach the falls.
A hanging bridge just in front of the falls gives us a clear view.
Got the snap of this mosque on the way to Abbey falls.
During all weekdays there is fountain show at Rajas seat. Mostly children assemble in large numbers to watch this event.
