The Land of Coffee, Clouds, and Calm
From bean to cup, discover the misty plantations, waterfalls and Kodava culture that make Coorg India's coffee capital.
Coorg, or Kodagu, is where India's love affair with coffee began. Nestled in the Western Ghats, this misty hill district produces some of the country's finest arabica and robusta beans.
Walk through coffee estates, learn about bean-to-cup processing, and sample single-origin Coorg coffee. The harvest season from November to February is the best time to visit.
Abbey Falls, Irupu Falls and Raja's Seat offer spectacular views. Visit the Namdroling Monastery in Bylakuppe — the largest Tibetan settlement in South India.
Try pandi curry, kadambuttu and fresh filter coffee. Experience the unique martial and harvest traditions of the Kodava people.
