Virajpet, Coorg: A Slice Of Heaven

Have you ever heard of ‘The Scotland Of India’? ‘The Land of Warriors, spices and pretty women’? How about ‘The Coffee Capital of India’?

If you haven’t, you’ve been living under a rock and missing out on one of the finer treasures India boasts.

I’m talking about Kodagu/Coorg.

A little town called Virajpet in the Kodagu district is my native and before I jump to that, here’s a little something about Kodagu as a whole.

Along with the killer views and the scent of coffee berries filling your nostrils when the windows are down or while on your motorbike, this little district cloaked by the Western Ghats, is home to some of the finest coffee produce, the best honey and oranges. Now you know what to take back.

My fellow Indians know of a love for spices that has no bounds and Kodagu is the place for it.
