Bethri

Cauvery River originates on the Brahmagiri hills. As the rills travel downhill, they come together, forming wider, deeper brook. In turn, brooks combine to form streams, and streams join tributaries of Kaveri.

Tributary of Cauvery



A stream or 'thodu' near Cauvery.






Number of brooks are visible all over Kodagu.

Chirpy !


During coffee picking season, there is shortage of labour in Kodagu. People come from Hunsur and Piriyapattana in large numbers to help us out. Like KC mentioned below, they seem chirpy during picking season. That's because they can earn extra cash.

The power of ‘ Ragi mudde’ is amazing. It keeps them going all day!!
