History and brief highlight of Coorg
Perched in a quaint valley, the hill station of Coorg in Kodugu district of Karnataka is becoming a popular honeymoon destination for lots of couples.

Gradually being recognised as a fantastic location for sightseeing and various adventurous activities, Coorg also is a suitable place for mountain climbing and rafting and other adventurous activities.
Although the name Kodugu is meaning steep hill or lush forest, it is having many other histories as to the origin of the name. Some believe that the Kodava tribe, which was the largest among the different tribes and also the most powerful, had a strong influence in various matters in the region. Some also say that the River Cauvery had given the name Kodugu to this hill station, from the perspective that Kod means give and Ava means mother, which spells out at mother to the people. Some anecdotes date back the history of the place to as back as 888 AD, where various dynasties in the south had their rule on this hill station. Proofs of such rulers having their influence have come from the inscriptions on stones and archaeological findings. Among the last rulers of the region in about 16th century, the Haleri dynasty kings had their major influence, after which the British kingdom had used it as a hill station and gradually coffee plantations started.
In the present day era, Coorg is seen as a great honeymoon destination with all the invaluable sights of long expanses of spice plantations, coffee plantations and various natural sceneries, which attract tourists, importantly honeymooners from various destinations.
