It was on Friday evening when I got an invitation from my friends to join them on a vacation to Coorg and Mysore. Well I hardly had half an hour to decide as the trip was planned for the same night. The offer was so tempting I decided to accept the offer.
We started 2-3 hrs late from Bangalore i.e 10.30 p.m and our cab started to roll on its wheels towards Coorg.
Once we crossed Mysore the smooth riding was almost over. The track was not narrow and the real dense weather added to the driver's woes!

He could hardly see anything as the visibility rate started to deteriorate. We started a conversation with him as he was comfortable with our native language Kannada.
When asked whether he knows the exact location of the hotel we had booked he indeed was very happy telling us that he recommends the same hotel tohis customers!!:P We were so happy and content from his reply. We reached Coorg by 3 a.m and rested for another 3 hours in the hotel.
We had a checklist on what places we were supposed to see in a two days time period. We started the day with a breakfast. I was content with my idli and Vada . It was nice in comparison with the breakfast available at work place.
The first stop for us in Coorg is known as TALACAUVERI. This place is generally considered to be the source for Cauveri River situated in the Brahmagiri hills.There is a tank built at the origin of Cauveri River which feeds this tank in the form of a spring. This is a holy place marked by a small temple and frequented by Hindu pilgrims.
Just above the temple if we climb over a 100 steps there is a view point. Climbing the steps is so tiresome in fact one can hear their heartbeat. No gyms required for the locals!!

At the view point I could see a wind mill located in the neighboring hill. Wish there was in place some kind of travel mechanism to reach there.
Most of the tourist places in India are untapped. Hope the tourism depart will rethink on it.
