Kodagu as it was known before the British Raj and now called Coorg is a beautiful hill country situated at a height of 3000 to 5000 feet above sea level. Called the “Scotland of India” and the “Kashmir of the South”, the beauty of its verdant valleys, green luxuriant forests, emerald rice fields and lush coffee and pepper plantations is breathtaking.
