My Weekend Trip to Coorg - The Scotland of India

Coorg - The Scotland of India

#

The land of Kodagu (also known as Coorg) with its beautiful hills, streams, dense forests, vegetation and fauna and river Kaveri became a lot more attractive to the tourist. A lot of people spend their weekends in Coorg and it is the best weekend gataway from Bangalore.

Coorg is called as a Scotland of India because most of the planters were Scots and the similarities between both the places earned Coorg the nickname of "Scotland Of India". Just Like Scotmandm, Coorg is also mountainous and misty along with the temperature which is normally cool.

Both Coorg and Scotland has cultural similarities as well, like both of them had clan based societies. Both the clans of Scouts and Coorg keep arms, the Scots kept short daggers whereas the Coorgs kept carved daggers.

I have visited many places in Coorg over this weekend and wanted to show you how beautiful Coorg is :) All the pictures were clicked by Nokia 6, Mobile Camera
