What attracts visitors to Coorg?

The visitors are attracted by the evergreen forests, the hills and river Kaveri, the various adventure sports and India’s largest Tibetan settlement.

Coorg’s river, Kaveri offers perfect setting for various water sports like - river rafting, canoeing, etc. The mountains provide an adventurous terrain for rappelling, rock climbing and mountain biking. The numerous trails here are a favourite with trekkers.

As one climbs the high hills of Brahmagiri, he gets a panoramic view of the entire landscape of Coorg. Walking a little more across a rope bridge, he is pleased to find the sixty-four acre island of Nisargadhama. The largest Tibetan settlement at Bylakuppe is a surprising bonus. The author calls it a bonus as it is the least expected here.

Coorgis are fiercely independent and brave. Tales of courage and fighting spirit of the Coorgis have earned them immense respect. The Coorg regiment is one of the most decorated regiment of the Indian Army. Besides, General Cariappa, the first Chief of the Indian Army, was also a Coorgi.

The sixty four acre island of Nisargadhama, the India’s largest Tibetan settlement at Bylakuppe and the monks, in red, ochre and yellow robes are some of the many surprises that wait to be discovered at Coorg.
