Kodagu (Coorg)
is the smallest district in Karnataka with wonderful and
lovely natural sceneries. It is the birthplace of river
Cauvery. Even though Kodagu (Coorg) is the smallest district
it has it’s own virtues. It is surrounded by Kerala State in
the west and south, to the north by South Canara district and
Hassan district and in the east by Mysore district.
It is from
the word “Kudu” (which means “Hilly place”) the word
Kodagu has come. But according to some other people it has
come from the word “Kodamalenadu”, which means “Steepy
hills and thick forests”.
