COORG

Serene valleys that soothe your soul and scenic drives that make every mile unforgettable

Trip Overview

Tucked in the folds of the Western Ghats, Coorg – or Kodagu – is where coffee blooms with the mist, and time slows with the rustle of silver oaks. Rich in tradition, wrapped in green, and laced with the aroma of roasted beans, it’s a land where nature and culture steep together – quietly, beautifully.

A drive to Coorg in the monsoon is an experience not to miss. This is the season when Coorg sheds its touristy veneer and returns to its roots – wild, raw, and profoundly beautiful. Spend a weekend with friends and strangers amongst the Kodagu coffee plantations and experiences to cherish forever.

I've always wanted to do things differently. I'm a free spirit, and my family supports this adventurous side of me. From traveling across the country for marathons to trekking and biking, I thrive on all kinds of adventures. I saw this as a unique opportunity to dive deeper into my adventurous nature and share that enthusiasm with like-minded individuals. The song "Main Hoon Hi Nahi Is Duniya Ki" perfectly captures my essence. You also need a partner in crime for such adventures and I did find one. So looking forwad to this one.
