Kodagu is the Scotland of India, with misty green slopes and lush forest, and offers a beautiful location for walking, birdwatching or simply rel- axing. Most of Kodagu is between 1,000 and 1,400 meters above sea level, which makes its climate pleasantly cool. Winding roads, often bordered by flowering shrubs and neat hedges, link the scattered hamlets.

It is possible to reach the 1,750 meter peak by foot in three and a half hours from Honey Valley.
