When the tedium of everyday life gets too much to handle, you know it is time to wake up and smell the coffee. And when you are heading to Coorg – once grandly, and perhaps somewhat truthfully known as the Scotland of India – that is literally possible. After all, the Kodagu (Coorg) region, nestled in the western ghats of Karnataka, is known for its rolling hills dotted with emerald green coffee plantations.
In Coorg, you can choose to spend all your time outdoors, trying out a range of adventure activities from hiking to canoeing. Or you can curl up indoors with a book and strong cup of kapi, leaving the armchair only for delicious meals of local dishes such as akki otti (rice roti) with pumpkin stew or kadumbuttu (steamed rice balls) with pandi curry (pork).
If you opt for the latter, here’s our pick of the best boutique properties in Coorg.
Plantation Trails
The hospitality brand from Tata Coffee, Plantation Trails, has six heritage bungalows built in original colonial style. The bungalows aim to showcase the lifestyle of coffee planters, with their charming names themselves evoking memories of that age: Cottabetta, Thaneerhulla, Woshully, Glenlorna, to name a few.
