Welcome to Coorg – Land of Misty Hills and Timeless Traditions

Stay at Jayasvi Inn, Virajpet, and immerse yourself in the valleys, traditions, and rhythms of real Coorg life.

Tucked away in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, Coorg, also known as Kodagu  is often described as the “Scotland of India” for its rolling hills, cool climate, and endless green vistas. But Coorg is much more than a scenic getaway. It is a living, breathing region filled with ancient traditions, biodiversity, rich food culture, and warm, welcoming people.

At Jayasvi Inn, located in the peaceful town of Virajpet, we offer more than just a stay,  we offer a connection to the land. Whether you are here for a weekend escape or a deeper experience of the region, Jayasvi Inn is your perfect starting point.

Why Visit Coorg?

Coorg’s unique geography and climate make it one of the most ecologically rich parts of South India. Mist-covered valleys, dense forests, fast-flowing rivers, and winding coffee trails surround every turn.

  • Climate: Coorg remains pleasant year-round, with cool mornings, misty monsoons, and a calm breeze even in summer.
  • Biodiversity: Home to elephants, deer, hornbills, butterflies, and rare medicinal plants, Coorg’s forests are teeming with life.
  • Landscape: From steep hill slopes and bamboo groves to cardamom forests and coffee estates, nature’s diversity is always within reach.

Whether you’re trekking through Kopatty Hills, relaxing by Honnamana Kere Lake, or enjoying a plantation walk near Jayasvi Inn, nature is always part of your journey.

Culture That Lives in Every Moment

Coorg is home to the Kodavas, a community known for its strong sense of identity, warrior lineage, and deep respect for tradition. They worship nature, celebrate harvests, and uphold rituals passed down for generations.

Major Festivals You Can Witness:

  • Kalipodhu (Kali Muhurtha) – A post-planting season festival celebrating weapon worship and family strength.
  • Kaveri Sankramana – Honoring the birth of the River Kaveri at Talacauvery with rituals and sacred water collection.
  • Madikeri Dasara – Ten days of lighted processions, music, and temple mantapas lighting up the hill town.
  • Puthari – The harvest festival marking new rice, filled with community feasts, chants, and family gatherings.
Staying at Jayasvi Inn during festival times offers a chance to witness local culture up close, not from a distance, but as a respectful guest of the community.

Local Tribes and Traditions

Beyond the Kodavas, Coorg is home to other indigenous communities like the Yeravas, Kurubas, and Airis, each contributing their own customs, dances, farming techniques, and sacred sites. Their connection to the land, storytelling, and rituals is something you feel as much as you see.

At Jayasvi Inn, we are happy to connect you with guides and experiences that give you insight into this rich cultural landscape.
