Last week (not exactly last week, lets say few weeks back). I started this blog some days back, so last week also makes sense. Ok so the point is I have been to Coorg (The Scotland of India). Truly it is Scotland. When I told my friends about my trip to coorg for the long weekend, everyone advised me this is not the right climate and time to go to coorg. Bangalore it was very hot (29oC). If you compare with other places in India, Bangalore is comparatively cool. But still we banglorians consider 29oC as very hot. So even after hearing advices of my friends to not go, I decided to go.
I didn’t have an ‘Official Honey moon’, we (my wife and me) had been to many places after marriage, but never had a ‘honey moon’. So we decided to go. My colleague Sandeep Chug and his wife Raakhi (lovely couple) who recently got married, less than one month now, also want to have their First honey moon (that’s what Sandeep says). And we started from Bangalore in Sandeep’s new Ford Ikon, and our destination was Kabbe Holidays, Coorg.
I’ll give a small history on how we got the destination, Kabbe Holidays. We planned our trip (Honey moon) just 3 days before the long weekend. The present culture in Bangalore is to hang out at some lonely place like Coorg or Bhandipur and relax your weekend. So when we approached our travel agent, he opened his hand saying all are booked. Our intention was to go to Bhandipur forest, where there is ‘Jungle Lodges’ which is a wonderful stay in the middle of the jungle. Now that’s supposed to be really adventurous and thrilling. But we couldn’t get any reservation for any of the place. Then the next day the travel agent rings up and tells us that there is a cancelled reservation for Coorg which we could take up, and it’s a home stay called ‘Kabbe Holidays’. Even though we were not satisfied with the idea of a home stay, we didn’t have any other option, and we decided to go for that.
I’ll continue this over the next week… hold your fingers crossed…
