As written in my previous blog on Storm Festival, I didn't get to see a lot of Coorg. All that I experienced of Coorg was at the Honey Valley resort (http://honeyvalleyindia.in/) with its widely spread coffee plantations and acres and acres of wilderness. There are quite a few easy and medium grade trekking paths around the estate. A took a few of them through a dense jungle. It felt a little eerie cause I was all alone but enjoyed every bit of it This place is a birders paradise and I was lucky enough to be here and to get up to the cacophony of the winged colourful beauties. Birding to me has become like a passionate sport - it somehow takes me one step closer to nature. Here are some snaps I clicked. Hope you like them!
