Coorg Trip - A must for Amatuer Trekkers

Being bored by reading so many Coorg visit blog (read almost all the Coorg blogs in Google first 2 pages), I don’t want to tell u story about what we ate in the dawn and how we sat in the van.. so precisely about our COORG Trip:

Decided only in 2 full time workdays and got sufficient members, the day before the trip. We got a van which has only Toyata Qualis embossed to prove it, thank God it didn’t wasted our time except some 15 minutes for some tire patch work !! Confirmed a separate house - 1500 bucks for 24 hours in Coorg before leaving.

First Day visits:
1. Nisargadama : Good to see the park, but not as special as in most of the blogs and websites. Boating in a swimming pool size pond and Elephant ride in helipad size area!! That’s it!
2. Tibetian Temple : Worth see, different culture and different paintings.. That God don’t want money to photo shoot it, yeah no restriction for Camera.. good to see the saints posing for Camera!!
3. Abbi Falls: Good site seeing, but can be also be seen in websites..Yeh, Bathing restriction ,I can say or no suitable location for bathing..Its like Stop, watch, go..
4. Camp fire in our home: The climate was cool enough to enjoy the warmth of camp fire..but not so good as we gave 300 bucks for that!! But any have enjoyable..

Second Day Visit (Tadeyendamol Trekking):
The most awaited journey started to reach Kakabe, from there packing up things we started through the steep roads of Tadeyendamol..Started at 12 we were able to reach half of the peak around 2:30 for energetic lunch, where we stood as three warriors aiming the peak!! Other four left back to base..we three survived to reach the peak at 3:30. Seems that Tadeyendamol peak is 5734 feet..not sure about it, I took this data from some other website..We came back to base at 5:30. Though this is my second trekking after Kodaikanal, this one is a good experience with only little time left behind..But only thing is the hilly way was not that cool and greenish as we expected.. Seems we went at the end of the season.. Anyhave it was a real thrilling experience throughout that 15kms trekking..

So here are my suggestions..Visit Coorg making sure of the season.. Seems it is better to visit before Jan..I would say tekking and that Tibetian temple are the best part over there.. So prioritize them fist..Next one, don’t rent house, better try to put a tent in the peak and that will be a stunning experience..
