The Advent of Winter At The Coorg Wilderness Resort & Spa
Those who stand astounded before the mystical prowess of the retreating monsoons in Coorg, and firmly believe that no other time of the year compares to the opulence and serenity of the 'Scotland of India' during the season of downpour, have definitely not visited the rural district during the winters. A few hour's drive away from the cosmopolitan circuit of the electronic city, this tiny hill station is a riot against time. The hourly sprint slowly settles into a sempiternal stroll amidst the lush evergreen Western Ghats, wild coffee plantations, and wire-like meandering gullies.
Coorg with its distinct climate and landscapes, offers a charming escape from the well-trodden tourist paths. The uncharted labyrinth of wilderness embodies the allure of undiscovered corners of India, enticing globetrotters to explore the enchanting beauty that defines the lesser-explored byways of the Subcontinent.
With the sun running the final laps of its seasonal sprint, the day shies short of a few hours; allowing darkness to court its frosty eternal mistress. The temperature is optimal for embracing the outdoors.
The winter sun sheds the right amount of sunlight- just enough to rouse the wilderness momentarily, and for you to explore and engage in an intimate dialogue with the ancient trees, spy on the shy little fox huddled under the carpet of dry leaves, or catch the chattering confusion of migratory birds. The dwindling daylight, however, sings in accord with the exotic ambiance at the fourth luxury offering from Paul John Resorts & Hotels.
