I have a few questions about the trip and would appreciate it if they would be answered. Thanks in advance. - Is Coorg a good honeymoon destination? - What would the weather be like in the month of January? - Please recommend a good budget hotel. - What is the minimum duration you suggest for the stay>
Yes, Coorg is a good honeymoon destination and many couples visit the place. The Coorg weather in January is quite pleasant, temperatures reach around 27c. For a budget accommodation, I would recommend KSTDC Maurya Valley View. I would say that the minimum stay should be 4 days.
Hello there! Welcome to the forum! Coorg is also known as Kodagu. It is a hilly district in the state of Karnataka. It highest peak is at 1,750 metres and the lowest peak is at 900 metres. Tourism-wise, it is one of the most popular hill station destinations in the country. Because of its pleasant climate all-year round, it's a favourite attraction among tourists. It is also known as the Scotland of India because of its picturesque mountain views resembling that of the said country. Coorg is definitely a good honeymoon destination, as evidenced by the numerous newlyweds who have chosen this destination for their honeymoons. I can give you several reasons though why it's a good honeymoon destination: The wonderful views from the hill station, which has mesmerised not only the locals but also the British who have made Coorg their summer retreat. For the adventurous couples, trekking the peaks of the hill station can be a fun activity and would surely bring you closer together. The mesmerising waterfalls of Coorg are sure to blow you away. They're best visited after the monsoon season when they're in their full glory. Touring the coffee plantations will ignite your senses and what is more better than a fresh cup of coffee, right? There are lots of temples, historical structures and wildlife to see here. Numerous resorts offering some retreat from the city life can help you relax here. Some are in the city, others are in the outskirts of the city. Many of them offer honeymoon packages for couples as well. So there, I hope I have encouraged you to try Coorg as your honeymoon destination. Make sure you book in advance though as it's one of the most popular destinations especially around winter and summer. During the month of January, the weather in Coorg is quite cold and pleasant. January is part of the winter season, which is from November to February. Temperatures range between 8°C to 10°C during this month. It's best to bring your woolen clothes and winter apparels as the nights can get especially chilly. But if you're from a region with the same temperature, then you can probably withstand the cold. Here are some budget hotels in Coorg: Hotel Green Haven - This hotel is located in the heart of the city. You can easily access major tourist attractions from here. Room rates start at Rs. 1,500 per night. Rooms come with attached bathroom, television, bedside table, lamp and a king-sized bed. Hotel amenities include a restaurant and even a business centre.
