Kodagu district, Hill station district in Karnataka, India
The Kodagu district extends over 4,102 square kilometers across the Western Ghats, featuring dense forests, coffee plantations, and valleys at 900 meters elevation.
British forces annexed the Kodagu region in 1834 following the Coorg War, transforming it from an independent territory into a colonial administrative district.
The Kodava community maintains their distinct traditions through language, cuisine with rice and meat specialties, and agricultural practices focused on coffee cultivation.
The district headquarters at Madikeri connects to major cities through regular bus services, with optimal visiting conditions between October and March.
Three wildlife sanctuaries - Brahmagiri, Talakaveri, and Pushpagiri - protect the district's natural environment, where the Kaveri River begins its journey.
