Answer 1

Coorg-

Coorg lies midway between Mysore and Mangalore . It  looks like a piece of heaven on the earth. It is a hilly place of brave men, beautiful women and wild creatures. It is also known by the name of ‘Kodagu’. We can reach Coorg from Mangalore, Bangalore, or Mysore by rail,road or by air.

Coorg is the smallest district of Karnataka. It is the home of evergreen forests, spices and coffee plantations. It rains heavily during the monsoons and the visitors keep away. But the months from September to March are very pleasant. The air breathes of refreshing coffee.

The Coorg people live a life of complete independence. It is believed that they are descended from the Greeks or the Arabs. According to the Greek theory, it is said that a part of Alexander’s army found it impossible to go back and was left here. These people married among the locals. The martial traditions of the Greeks, their marriage and religious rites are quite visible among the Coorg people. According to Arab theory, the Kuppia( A long, black coat with an embroidered belt) worn by the Kodavus resembles the Kuffia worn by the Arabs and the Kurds.

Kodavus or Coorgis are known for their bravery and hospitality . The Coorg regiment of the Indian Army has won many bravery awards. General  Cariappa , the first chief of the Indian Army was a Coorgi.

The river Kaveri  obtains its water from the hills and forests of Coorg. The area is rich in wild life like elephants, kingfishers, squirrels,langurs and parrots. The most popular adventure sports are rafting ,canoeing, rappelling, rock climbing and mountain biking. The Nisargadhama island is a lovely island beyond the Brahmagiri hills. The Buddhist monks settled here give us a  glimpse of the heart and soul of India.
