Chikmagalur

Trace the story of coffee plantations in South India

If you have a penchant for coffee, Chikmagalur’s lush plantations, smoky, cottage kilns for roasting beans, and the lore of Saint Baba Budan who brought back a handful of coffee beans from Mocha in Yemen is sure to capture your imagination. Even for those who don’t love coffee, the charm of historical ruins and temples lost amidst plantations, a verdant countryside riddled with waterfalls will make for an enchanting experience. Chikmagalur’s rugged landscape of mountains and valleys offers interesting trails for trekkers and is a rich paradise for wildlifers.
