Since I was in Bangalore till that time, I wanted to do the road trip of whole South India. Started with Karnataka, I used to do road trip/trekking in every weekend. So this time I choose Coorg – The Scotland of India. A beautiful Hill Station with coffee estates. This bike trip is all about exploring the best tourist place cum hill station Coorg in Karnataka.

Coorg (Madikeri) – The Scotland of India

We planned this bike trip for 2 days from Bangalore to Madikeri & back. Coorg or Kodagu is a district in Karnataka in which Madikeri is a town and district headquarter of Kodagu.

Due to its lush green landscape, this famous Hill Station Coorg is also known as “The Scotland of India“.

This is a photoblog, where I tried to show the best tourist places of Coorg through the pictures I have taken from my camera so that you can get to see the beauty of this place.
