When our office went on its trip to Coorg, we decided not to make it a sight-seeing trip, but to make it an experience. We stayed at a place called "Shanti Estate" this is about 12k out of Cooorg Town, atop a hill. A coffee and vanilla farm, this has two lovely cottages set in a valley with a little duck pond added to the effect. Perfect for lovely treks and coupled with a friendly old couple as hosts, this is quite an idyllic place. As I remember, it isn't very expensive either. Priced around 800 per head (a couple of years back) and negotiable quite a bit depending on the number of people traveling, this is very cost effective too. They are listed in Outlook Traveler's Getaway's from Bangalore book. Check it out.
On the food front, we had found Shanti Estate to be the best, making home cooked meals. All other places we checked were a disappointment. Try and avoid all the seemingly good hotels and definitely the ones that have an 'International' in their name. Seems to be synonymous with bad food in Coorg.
Do visit Tala Kaveri while there. Other than that, my recommendation would be to chill out and make it an experience in spending time together instead of making it a sight seeing trip. Coorg is a lovely place to relax. And relaxing too, if you let soak in the place and allow it to relax you.
Hope you have a wonderful tripPrivate Reply to Tushar Prabhu (new win) |
