Trip to lush green Coorg...Untouched world..

Long weekend and my family packed for much needed break for three days..My daughter had great fun and we made the most of those three days with a supportive toddler.We had booked with a coffee estate and drove from Bangalore on 31 august at  6:30 am.Our final destination was 266 km and Mysore was another attraction on our mid way.We touched the city of 'silk'-Ramanagram also famous for movie 'sholay' the chartbuster.Driving from there we touched Channapatna-city of 'toys' famous for its wooden toys and lacquerware at around 60km from Bangalore.Well our daughter bought her kitchen ware and is loving it...We drove to Mandya-city of 'sugar' which is 100 km from Bangalore.Our driver and guide recommended us the place  for breakfast 'Shivalli ' restaurant where the famous 'glass idli' is served.We enjoyed the hot dosa and idli platter and drove to another famous city of Srirangapatna - Fort of TipuSultan is the attraction.Then finally we touched the city of Mysore where we decided to visit Chamundi hills Temple.Beautiful drive on a hill and great view of the city from that height,my hubby captured the Mysore Palace from there.

Our drive to never ending green Coorg began from here,We  reached Periyapatna and then it was a drive which  is unforgettable,I have not seen such lush dense greenery in my life,it was driving in a coffee and blackpepper plantation for miles and miles to see  glimpse of people.We loved the place and were amazed by its beauty and life there.We reached Biddanda estate and surprised to find a nice cosy dwelling called  'Elephant Corridor'.Our hosts Mr Viju and Mrs Nimmi were there to welcome us with hot tea..our daughter chose her place and was swinging and singing her rhymes .
