In search of happiness, you go to both familiar and strange areas. When you arrive home, you realise it was always there, sitting next to you. This is especially true in South India, which has some fascinating homes—or, to be more precise, homestays—all designed with flair and grace. Homestays in Coorg are tucked away in the lush green settings of the Ghats, surrounded by huge estates and hassle-free nature. You can rate them based on the services provided, the facilities provided, and the expectations met. However, these homestays live on warmth and familiarity. Because of their proximity to the main natural features in the Coorg region, they are popular with tourists visiting Kerala or Karnataka. We'll look at some of Coorg's best homestays later. It should be mentioned that the best homestays around Coorg are those at Iruppu Falls and Abbey Falls.
