 The Rajah's of Mysore called this place as "Karunada Kashmeera" (Kashmir of Karnataka), possibly because of the cool misty weather all through the year. Apart from its scenic beauty, this land is also famous for producing many brave hearts who sacrificed their lives for the country. Sir Manek Shaw, General Cariappa served the nation during Indo-Pak and Indo-China wars. 

By crossing hunsur and Nagarhole reserved forest, on the foothills of Brahmagiri  is a small town called "Kutta". This town banks on the neighboring state Kerala too and is in southern tip of the district Coorg. Well known for its peaceful environment and surrounded by lush green plantations, Kutta homes for several tourists spots.

 In the midst of the forest with pleasant chirping of birds, it is indeed a healthy background. Climbing on the rocks to get drenched by ice cold water is a thrilling experience. This water source unlike others is not polluted. There are lots of home stays which offers hygenic food and cozy shelter at reasonable rates. Adding to that, the hosts will be polite and caring too. A typical coorgi home will be a big farmhouse with coffee and pepper plantations.
