South India HolidaysSouth India Places of Interest–» COORG  Home
to the Habanero (the world's second hottest chili), the Southern Birdwing (India's
largest butterfly), the Atlas Moth (with the world's largest wingspan), over
100 species of birds and the best blues collection in the country, Mojo is a
treasure trove of natural wonders. Perched at 1100m at the top of the rain-slope,
the organic farm is spread over 25 acres of undulating terrain. The retreat was set up in 1999 by Dr Anurag (Doc) and Sujata Goel to nurture Coorg's fragile ecosystem and to promote their environmental NGO, WAPRED Research Foundation. At Mojo, coffee, cardamom, pepper and vanilla are grown organically under the shade of rainforest trees. Solar panels are used to generate electricity. Locally grown organic produce is used for the delectable farm-fresh cuisine. Even the accommodation has been designed to give you an intimate brush with nature. While the Yin-Yang Plantation Cottage is deep inside the rainforest, the Brook-side Deluxe Cottage is set against a thicket of bamboo, banana, orange and pineapple. Whether it's the hand-pollination of vanilla or learning about the lifecycle of coffee, Mojo offers a first-hand learning experience about life at a farm. Activities include a detailed excursion of the plantation, a nature walk to Galibeedu Ridge, trip to the Dubare Elephant Training Camp and a drive to the Cauvery for swimming or mahseer fishing. Though every season unfolds some hidden facet of Mojo, the best time to visit is from beginning October to end of May. This region gets some of the highest rainfall in the world so avoid the months July-August, unless you are doing a thesis on leeches. Click here for Reservation –» HAMPI-HOSPET  Hampi,
the land of surprises was founded in the middle of 14th Century by two local
princes, Hakka & Bukka. The Vijayanagar Empire came to be celebrated for
its might and wealth and as a show piece of imperial magnificence. Vijayanagara
is such that the pupil of the eye has never seen a place like it... " So
eulogized Abdul Razaq, a Muslim envoy who visited Hampi. The city was sacked pillaged and burnt in 1565 AD, after the combined attack of armies of Muslim Sultanates of the Deccan defeated the Vijayanagar Military Commander and the King fled the Capital. Rocky hills and the mighty Tungabhadra River, which flows through this rugged landscape, dominate the terrain. One can still glimpse the splendour of Vijayanagara - one of the largest empires in the history of India - in its ruins. The Vijayanagar Kings were great patrons of Art & Architecture as evident by the vast ruins of Hampi. In an effort to resurrect this abandoned capital, the government has been involved in the restoration, excavation and protection of the ruins, which are spread over an area of 26 sq kms. Book your Tour to Hampi 340 kms from Bangalore lies Hospet. Its tourist importance lies in its proximity to Hampi, the site of the medieval Vijayanagar Empire, situated about 13 kms away. The Tungabhadra Dam here harnesses the sweet waters of the Tungabhadra river. At the base of the dam is a garden styled along Japanese lines. Click here for Reservation –» HYDERABAD  Hyderabad,
the fifth largest metropolis of India, is the state capital of Andhra Pradesh,
known for its rich history and culture with monuments, mosques, temples, a rich
and varied heritage in arts, crafts and dance. This site endeavours to present the rich heritage and culture of Hyderabad, along with an insight into Hyderabad today. Once upon a time pearl traders used to spread out their beads by the side of the road and hawk them the way you'd find green vegetables peddled today. The city has gotten a lot more tech-savvy since then, but it still retains quite a bit of the charm of the Shahi and the Nawabi days. While you find a younger crowd that is at once cosmo and geeky, you also find a lot of the old world aura about it. Visit the twin cities with fullHYD. We take you through all the old and the newer neighbourhoods, we present the best attractions, and we preview them through our virtual tours. If you are touring, we suggest exhaustive itineraries for your visit, starting right from the time you land, and we tell you everything from what to eat and where to eat it to where to shop, how to travel and where to stay. And then we suggest that you explore more of this site. At the end of it, you'll know more about this city than most Hyderabadis themselves do. And we're sure you'll love it.
