Coorg, often referred to as the Scotland of India, is a lush hill station in Karnataka known for its rolling hills, misty landscapes, and sprawling coffee plantations. The region's cool climate and verdant scenery bear a striking resemblance to the Scottish Highlands.

The local Kodava culture, with its distinct traditions and attire, adds to the area's unique charm. For those seeking a slice of Scotland in India, Coorg offers a refreshing retreat into nature's lap, complete with the aroma of coffee and the sound of chirping birds.
