About Coorg
Nestled in the western ghatsof
Karnataka,Coorg (officially known as
Kodagu)is a charming hill town in the
southern part of India. It is mainly famous for
its coffee plantations, spice gardens, and
flourishing greenery. However, you can also
choose to do a few activities like quad
biking, river rafting, waterfall rappelling, etc.
From my personal experience, choose either
only to relax or do only adventure activities
when in Coorg. The reason is simple, you
will be able to absorb the relaxing vibes of
the hill town only when you yourself are
relaxed

to simply not do anything. Yes,
the vibes of the place are so
naturally relaxing that it will be

roads with a line of trees running
along each side
