Kodagu, also called Coorg, is a district in Karnataka State.Scene from the
Rajah's Seat, Madikeri, Kodagu, giving a panoramic view of the valleys
below the hills., Kodagu/Coorg.Coorg is known for its hospitability of
people and beautiful scenery. This is one of the best destinations for
nature lover in India. Tourists get fascinated by colourful scenery,
wooded slopes, undulating landscape and quaint villages of coorg. There
are endless mountain ranges which attracts thousands of tourists every
year. The nearest railway station is Mysore, some 100 kms away. But buses
are frequent and connect Kodagu to nearby Karnataka cities such as Mysore
and Mangalore, among others. The bus journey is about 4-5 hours away. Be
prepared for a rough, winding and inexpensive ride! If you are coming from
Bangalore/Mysore, it is better to rent a cab from either city. This is
recommended as public transport is not very effective in coorg district
and the tourist attractions are spread across the district. Taking a cab
from the city will help you get better rates as it is always difficult to
bargain in tourist spots. If travelling from Bangalore/Mysore, you should
plan to cover Bylanakuppe (Tibet monastery) as it is enroute.
