I would like to introduce you guys to a place called COORG (Kodagu)
Belovedly referred as 'Scotland Of India' by the British during their rule in India,the district is one of the most beautiful places in the world.Madikeri (Mercara) is a Hill Station city and the headquarters of the district.
The unique race of Kodavas are the local inhabitants of these lands (I would make a separate post on Kodavas and their history if you guys are interested to know more)
