Coorg or Kodagu is my favourite getaway as it still offers many unexplored places amidst it’s beautiful scenics. One such place is near talacauvery( the mythical birth place of river Cauvery). Talacauvery is usually visited by everyone and anyone who comes to coorg because of the temple on top of the hill which holds great religious significance to the locals.but my fav place is the abondaned windmills situated around 2km ahead of the talacauvery.The only way to reach this place is by trekking through the forest next to the temple. For some reasons the windmills have been abondaned but they still look so beautiful on the hill top. It offers a perfect spot for introspection and those with artistic inclinition will find it all the more beautiful.if ever you decide to visit coorg please don’t fall for arranged tours.the beauty lies in exploring and trust me if vasco da gama would have hired a travel agent he wouldn’t have discovered most of the beautiful places that he did.Nature should be experienced raw. As for stay try living in modest home stays as that would give you a real feel of the place and culture.visit to dubare and abhi falls is a must.Forgieners planning a visit are advised to talk to people who have previously visited coorg and inquire for rates and tariffs that they should pay.Coorg has recently become a tourisim hotspot so the natives are all in a hurry to cash in the boom.I will upload some pics of the windmill pretty soon.
Happy Exploring !
