About Coorg
Coorg, known as the Scotland of India, is a hill station in Karnataka that offers misty mountains, endless coffee plantations, cascading waterfalls, and the freshest air you will ever breathe. It is one of India's most beloved honeymoon destinations for couples who want romance wrapped in natural beauty.
Stay in a boutique plantation resort nestled among coffee and cardamom estates. Wake up to the sound of birds, sip fresh filter coffee on your private deck overlooking the valley, and spend your evenings watching the mist roll in over the hills. Coorg is unhurried, intimate, and completely enchanting.
