Resorts of Coorg

I have written lots of travel posts in the past ranging from Maldives, Sri Lanka, Mexico, USA, Spain, etc. In India too I have travelled a lot. When I reminisce, one of my favourite destination to travel within India is Coorg.

They call it Scotland of India and I so agree with this. Coorg is insanely beautiful place. I would like to retire and live here forever. But when I look back now, I feel there were many beautiful and unexplored resorts in Coorg that should be discovered. I want to go there again and explore them.

If you want to fly to Coorg, the nearest domestic airport is the Mangalore International Airport, about 160 kilometres away. The nearest international airport is in Bengaluru, which is approximately 265 kilometres away.

Though Coorg does not have an airport of its own, you can get to the place using air services from the nearest airport. It also has international flights from destinations like Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait, and Muscat. 

I have also been writing about my inflight experiences and posting pictures of my flights. Somehow, one air carrier that I have not explored much and is big time on my to-do list is QatarAirways. Specially so, because I have heard lots of good things about it.

 Qatar Airways Overview

It was originally owned by members of the state's royal family, Committed to offering passengers with excellent on-board and on-the-ground service quality, the airline has garnered many awards and accolades, becoming one of only six airlines worldwide to have been awarded a 5-star rating by Skytrax.
