THE WINDFLOWER COORG

Fields of swaying grain rush past you, as you drive through the picture-perfect, tree-lined highway to coffee country. Flanked by 3 wildlife sanctuaries and a national park, Coorg resounds with the calls of over 350 species of birds, and is the birthplace of the gushing, life-giving Kaveri river. Climb up the Brahmagiri hill, and take in the sight of lush plantations full of coffee, pepper and cardamom, dark green clusters of thick deciduous jungle, and the endless blue sky. This fertile, alpine land is called Kodagu, after its steep slopes, and is home to a proud race of Kodavas who are renowned for their military prowess and legendary hospitality..
