Dubare elephant camp

Dubare Elephant camp is accessible by a ferryboat. At the camp you can give the elephants a good scrub and feed them their chow! For the finale you can opt for a royal elephant ride…

Benne Kadambutte is steamed rice dumplings. The texture of kadambutte is like butter, consequently the name Benne Kadambutte !!

Brake inspectors meandering in Coorg.

We were driving down the narrow road near Virajpet. Out of the blue, a buffalo appeared. The driver braked really hard. The car came to a screeching halt. Phew!I looked at the buffalo and the buffalo looked at me.Our eyes locked!I wondered how he could be so placid when we were totally tensed.

"These buffaloes are so calm," I said to the peaceful buffalo, "Will you teach my teacher to behave just like you do?"

Most people in Coorg, set their cattle free every morning to fend for themselves. The cattle roam around till dusk and return home.

Clock tower,Virajpet

Mrudu has written a nice write-up about how Mercara needs a facelift. Here is my wish-list of improvements for Virajpet-
Make the road pedestrian friendly.
Tidy up of the Bus stand and car park.
Widen the main streets.
Provide proper parking facilities.
Restore all the old buildings, repair and paint.
Build public toilets.
Clean restaurants.
A nice library.
Strict traffic policing!
Do you have anything to add?
