Would you be pleased if your year began with breaking and aching ?
Well I was not just pleased but positively exhilarated when 2019 started off exactly like that … with Breaking and Aching of the nicest kind of course !!!
My Coorg jinx of 2018 which saw several aborted plans of making it to that destination and my record of the highest mountain that I have ever trekked … both these were vanquished in one fell swoop with my visit to The Tamara Coorg. Of course the breaking of the latter resulted in the Aching of several muscles for several days but it was the blissful agony of achievement or what is known as the Gain from Pain đ
(also just to be clear, I have climbed a total of two and a half mountains in my life, in case I gave the impression of being a world class climber :-D)
The Tamara Coorg is visually enchanting, with its hilly terrain and lush greenery that extends all the way to touch the mountains that hug the horizon.
It is a blissful place for rest and relaxation, a haven for several species of birds and its rugged surroundings also offer trekking trails of varying difficulty levels.
Stroll through its pathways and join me in exploring all the delights that it holds.
Part 2 of the series featuring an Overview of The Tamara Coorg and Things to do at the resort and surroundings.
When 2019 begins on a high, then hope soars for a great year ahead !!!
The stunning The Tamara Coorg, literally elevated me into its lofty environs, high up in the forests and ghats of Coorg district in Karnataka, India.
Blessed with scenic landscapes, mountains, forests and waterfalls, Coorg is also the source of the River Cauvery (also Kaveri), which is considered a sacred river and has a place in the list of India’s longest rivers.
The Tamara is a luxury resort perched on the steep hillsides of Coorg and it embodies the beauty of the land that ensconces it.
Its altitude playing to its advantage, the charming cliff side cottages of the resort offer panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, dense forests and distant villages
Climb with me into its hilly interiors and gaze at the beauty that it showcases for you.
