Coorg – The Scotland of India
The Scotland of India Kodagu, still widely known by its former name ‘Coorg’ is a district situated in the Western Ghats in the state of Karnataka. The district stands at an elevation of 3000 feet which gives it a very similar weather to Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka. Madikeri (earlier know as Mercara) is the hill station in Coorg with an elevation of 3700 feet. This hill station gets its beauty from the lush green surroundings, birds, animals and most hospitable locals. Being a famous tourist destination for the past few decades, Coorg has given rise to an enormous number of hotels, homestays and resorts. One of the oldest homestays in tucked away in a little village called Hosapatna. This little place is just 12km from the town of Kushalnagar and 30km before Madikeri.
