Chikkamagaluru district, Administrative district in Mysuru division, Karnataka, India
The district spreads across the Western Ghats mountain range, featuring hills, dense forests, and rivers including the Tunga and Bhadra that originate within its borders.
The region functioned as the core territory of the Hoysala dynasty, where their founder Sala established dominion after defeating a tiger in Sosevur, present-day Angadi.
The name Chikkamagaluru originates from Kannada language, meaning 'town of the younger daughter', referring to a traditional story about the chief of Sakkarepatna.
The district maintains transportation connections with major Karnataka cities through road networks, while accommodating visitors with various lodging options near coffee plantations.
Baba Budan introduced coffee cultivation to India by planting the first beans from Arabia in these hills during the 17th century, establishing the region's coffee legacy.
