Coorg

Visited Coorg this long weekend, monday being holiday due to Eid-ul-Fitr. We started from Bangalore on Sunday morning and reached back on monday evening, its about 260KM from Bangalore. We went via Mysoore but didn't spend time in visiting the famous palaces there, I have seen them many times before. The drive was very good as the roads were very nice & almost empty after Mysoore. We could see tobacco agriculture all over the road side after Mysoore.

There was rain prediction at Coorg but luckily it didn't rain & we got a wonderful stay at Honey pot homestay which was in the middle of 250 acres of coffee estate. We spent the evening in coorg & had a horrible driving experience to Abbi walls. The road was pathetic and narrow to Abbi water falls. The Raja's seat was worth visiting and is near the town itself. The best part was the dinner at the homestay with some home-made wines we got from local shops in Coorg.

On the way back we visited Nisargadhama too.
