Tripoto
9th Nov 2019

one fine morning i was thinking of traveling again and this time didn't wanted to go for more days,just to refresh from City noise and feel relex so decided go for short trip.

I planned a one day trip to coorg with my lovely friends. Without wasting a min we booked bus ticket that cost us around 1300, so we started on Friday night around 8:30 and reached around 4 o clock . What I saw I never imagined. i felt so mesmerized by the view,it was Soo surreal But it was just a starting .We took a comfortable lounge which was Near to bus stop to get freshup. After this we decided what and all places we can cover in one day because we didn't want to cover all the places in one day but decided to cover at least 4-5 places in a day.

Coorg is referred to as the Scotland of India, Coorg is a little town in Southern Karnataka, placed in the Western Ghats. It is famous mainly for its sights, varied wildlife, world-class coffee.

Day 1

We had our breakfast near our lounge which cost us around 100 RS each. It was around 5 olcock. We thought why to miss sunrise so asked nearby auto and safari people on how to go and cover the places.

As we were 5 people ,we took 2 autos 640 each to cover 5 place.

So this was my location in coorg and we were existed to see sunrise and i felt so mesmerized by the view that rather than thinking about other things i choose to sit down and just look at the nature. It felt like i was completly lost in moment. Cloud were looking like cotton candy and all over the greenery was breaktaking ,you should sit down and enjoy the beauty of this peak. After seeing sunrise we sit for some time and headed to our next location.

Next location we are planning to cover abbe falls but we saw this falls in middle of our way to abbe and thought why not to go there. It took around 10 RS entry and our decision was good to go there. This falls was small but was beautiful in it own way. It was not a crowded place so spend some time there also. If you are looking for some good insta pics this place won't disappoint you.

So finally we reached Abbey falls but we were hungry so decided to take snack to fill out stomach which took around 50 RS per per person and gave 20 RS per person ticket to get inside and once we reached there what we saw that it was fully crowded with people and somehow we manage to see Abbey falls. When we saw the water falling from such height it looked like milk falling from this height . Even though it was crowded it was worth a visit. You won't spend much time there as it's crowded but it's sure worth a visit.

It was around 2 o clock and we decided to have lunch as we were so hungry so had near raja's tomb restro and it took us 200-250 RS per person after having lunch we hearded to raja's tomb. Entery fee was 20 RS.

People who are much interested to historical and architectural thing it's a must visit place for them.

Tombs of Raja’s, built on the edge of the hilltop of the town are the historical which were designed and built in Indo -style.

What I observed is that there are two main tombs right side tomb is of Lingarajendra built and the left side of the tomb of Rudrappa . There are other two tiny structures with inscription just right side of the tombs.

This is popular and thousands of the tourists visit here as it is near to medikeri. We spent some time there and around 4:30pm left rom there.

Around 5:30 we reached rajaseat ,which was our last location in coorg and decided why not to see sunset also .

Raja's Seat is known as Seat of the King which is a seasonal garden of flowers and artificial fountains.

When sunset started, the mist shrouded valley below offered a rare sight. We sat and felt the true beauty of mountain.

So overall it was a economic trip , if you want to refresh yourself from City noise/office hectic schedule etc and you want to feel fresh air with beautiful view but you don't have that much time to stay , I would recommend you to plan one day trip to coorg.
