"Coorg" The Scotland of India. There's doesn't exist a better feeling for a Nemophilist than to be lost in the woods on a fuzzy weather, i experienced something similar on my way to the Scotland of India "coorg" It is located in South India, karnataka. It was the first time i visited the city, It drizzled continously but i still could explore the wonderful blizz of the place. The native language is kodava language the people there are from a unique traditional and cultural background. The city is filled with many tourist places which attracts the travelers from all over the world. The majority of land is for agriculture they usually grow coffee and areca nut, I spent most of my time in the estates where i tasted the best wine in my life i could witness the lifestyle of kodava's very keenly, I even had a chance to spectate their traditional dance known as " Kodava vaalaga aat". I also visited the forests where they have a wide range of wildlife which are excellently conserved. Then the last place i visited was "Mandakpatti" its the peak of a mountain where i felt i could touch the sky for the first time in my life, the fog had taken over the place which was one of the memorable moments of the hike. So i had a great time in coorg i got educated as well as entertained,If you are a travel freak coorg is a must visitable place on the list.
