Coorg .. !!
I have been to Coorg many times and in different seasons, This is the place I love second most in karnataka just next to Chikmagalur , what an amazing place. where standing in same place in different seasons gives you different feelings .
Thanks to two days weekend off ! Started thinking about planning a ride somewhere .I had to dedicate a considerable amount of time understanding the thing I was about to jump into. Overseeing the climate , I had to make a quick decision as to what direction I would be headed and the overall strategy. Without wasting a moment, I started thinking of a new route where I could connect with a lot of inspiring people as well as a place which would offer nature in its virgin beauty. Secondly, it should be closer to bangalore so that i can return back in two days . First suggestion came to avoid kodugu since it's raining heavily ! Ofcourse that suggestion made us to choose kodugu as our destination , Oh ! yes its going to be a ride on rain !!!
Kodagu is an administrative district in Karnataka, India. Before 1956 it was an administratively separate Coorg State, at which point it was merged into an enlarged Mysore State. It occupies an area of 4,102 square kilometres (1,584 sq mi) in the Western Ghats of southwestern Karnataka. In 2001 its population was 548,561, 13.74% of which resided in the district's urban centres, making it the least populous of the 30 districts in Karnataka. The district is bordered by Dakshina Kannada district to the northwest, Kasargod district of Kerala to the west, Hassan district to the north, Mysore district to the east, Kannur district of Kerala to the southwest, and the Wayanad district of Kerala to the south .
We started from Bangalore around 5:30 AM on saturday morning , We took NH75 via Nelamangala . It was all alone morning ride , we stopped for breakfast around 8 . The sky with designer white clouds, colorful mountains, green patches of grass on background in early spring , winter is most beautiful if you have guts to brave the dipping mercury. It was almost 2 years now I took this trip but it is still so vivid in my memory!! Coming back to breakfast , Can't miss Onion dosa on this route !! #Worth .
Agriculture is the most important factor that upholds the economy of Kodagu and the main crops cultivated in this region are rice and coffee. Coorg is rich in natural resources which included timber and spices. Madikeri is the headquarters of Kodagu district .
It is hard to digest the fact that with every passing day acres of forests are being converted into farmlands. People are encroaching into the protected forest and turning them into Coffee plantations...This is one view of Coorg which may not be the same in the next 5 years... :-( Coffee exports from India have touched 3.26 lakh tonne so far in the current crop year compared to 2.37 lakh tonne shipped in the same period a year ago. With this, the country achieved exports higher than the production in the current crop year.
Abbey falls is one of the most amazing attractions in the Coorg . The picturesque view of the fall will surely take your breath away and also provide you with quite a few Kodak moments. The waterfall comes down from a height of 70 feet and provides a superb vista. You will also find a hanging bridge across the gorge from which an exceptional view of this waterfall is a sight to remember.
We reached Abbey around 2:00 PM . Along with the rain & the story continues in thread .. #Rainadventurebegins ... !!
