Famous for housing a cluster of small holdings, Coorg’s plantations and farms lay untouched by the manicuring process. As the heavy rainfall forests nurture the soil for growing delicious coffee, the presence of the region’s endemic flora and fauna redefine what it means to take care of the land. Follow Suhas Dwarkanath’s journey to Coorg with Hyundai TUCSON to uncover the magic behind Coorg’s robusta—the finest in the country.
