India's coffee capital cloaked in mist — colonial bungalows, Kodava warrior culture, Abbey Falls and jungle-clad Nagarhole National Park.
Coorg — Kodagu — is Karnataka's most elevated district and India's premier coffee-growing region. The Kodava people have a distinct warrior culture, unique language and extraordinary cuisine. The landscape — rolling coffee and spice estates punctuated by waterfalls, rivers and dense shola forests — is among the most beautiful in peninsular India.
