I visited Coorg in August 2011. It is a beautiful place that is set amidst misty hills, lush teakwood and sandalwood forests and acres of tea and coffee plantations. Coorg is also known as the Scotland of India. It is situated on the Western ghats and is 252 Kms from Bangalore. Coorg is ideal for outdoor activities and trekking, angling and white water rafting are quite popular. The festival season starts in September and the major festivals include Keil Poldu - worship of weapons, Cauvery Sankramana day in October, the Huttari festival or the harvesting of the paddy crop in November or December. It rains heavily during the month of August, but we enjoyed our trip there. The beautiful Abbey falls are a lot of fun. I spent a whole day there having fun. The club Mahindra resort is located in a beautiful place. The rooms are well-maintained and neat. The rooms are relaxing and neatly kept. The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. Food is delicious and worth tasting. I had one problem though the tap in my bathroom was leaking but after complaining to the hotel staff they fixed it. Friends don’t believe any club Mahindra complaints you might read about the resort. It is worth all the money you may spend there.
