7. Coorg, Karnataka
Sleepy and sylvan, Coorg thrives under a cloak of inertia, tempered with endless coffee breaks, family hockey matches and celebratory dinners of peppery pork curry. All of that makes it a perfect getaway for those ailed by the ills of urban life. Madikeri, the headquarters of Kodagu district, is the largest town. Stretching in every direction are rolling hills crowned by puffs of curling mist. Plantations of coffee, pepper and fruit trees stipple the landscape. Homestays offer an authentic Coorg experience, though resorts offer diversions from plantation walks to hiking, sport fishing, nature exploration and river rafting. Trekkers are drawn to Tadiyendamol, Coorg’s highest peak, and wildlife buffs to Nagarahole and Kabini. Talakaveri, the headspring of the Cauvery River, draws pilgrims. The Tibetan monastery at Bylakuppe and the Dubare Elephant Camp are attractions en route.
Getting there: The nearest airport is Mangalore (150 km) but Bangalore (240 km) has better connections. Coorg is well connected to Mysore (82 km) by road.
Best time to go: September to March
