Coffee @ Coorg
Shankaracharya, one of the greatest Indian sage and social reformer of 9th century had established not just 4 dhaams but also 4 ashrams across the country. Besides Joshimath(North), Puri(east) and Dwarika(west), the southern Ashram was at Shringeri in Karnataka, not far from Bhadravati(our PS centre).
We had been postponing visiting it over the past 4 weeks due to other priorities like Goa, Ooty, Kerala & Coastal Karnataka but we finally made up our mind to visit this serene place situated deep inside Bhadra wildlife sanctuary on the forested slopes of Western Ghats along the banks of holy river Tunga.
Our initial plan also included trekking into the enticing Kudremukh national park but the trip was marked with incessant rainfall which made us change our plan. And so we clubbed Shringeri trip alongwith Coorg (coffee growing mountainous region of British era) and Mangalore.
Day 1 : Shringeri
Day 2 : Mangalore
Day 3 : COORG (Kushalnagar, Talakaveri)
Day 4 : Madikeri
