There lives a race of people in this beautiful land of rolling hills. The people of this race are proud- men are fond of fighting, women are beautiful. Wild creatures are found there. Coorg or Kodagu is a land of evergreen rainforests, spices and coffee. Thirty percent of this district is covered by rainforests. During monsoon it rains heavily that forces visitors to keep away. The season of joy extends from September to March. During this span of time the weather is perfect with moderate rain falls. The air is full of the smell of coffee. Colonial bunglows are seen under the cover of trees. The fiercely free people of Coorg are posibly of Greek or Arabic descent.
