Just back from a wonderful vacation in the coffee estates of Coorg. We stayed in a homestay amidst a coffee plantation, where I made friends with Soujanya- the granddaughter of the owners ( Coorg grandpa and granny). I had a lovely time- taking a stroll in the misty coffee estates, running around with Soujanya and having idli with honey and ghee ( for the first time in my life). Just have a look at the pictures below and you will have an idea of the wonderful holiday that I had.
With Soujanya, her elder sister and her grandparents.
Now, after the homestay it was time for tasting life outdoors, in a camp in the midst of a coffee plantation to reach which we had to walk about 2 kms from the road head with a man carrying our luggage. The camp site was ringed by hills and trees and we stayed in tents.
Swinging in a hammock- can life be any better?
After two days of jungling, it was time again to return to the concrete jungle once again. We stayed at Mysore on the way back. The palace of the Maharaja is such a huge building- VERY VERY big and looks VERY VERY beautiful when illuminated during the night.
