Excitement in Kodagu following rise in enquiries for rooms ahead of Dasara

Kodagu was out of bounds for tourists for a long time in view of its proximity to Kerala and protracted weekend curfew
Ahead of Dasara season, stakeholders of Kodagu tourism industry are hoping for a revival in footfall, thanks to the sudden rise in enquiries for hotel bookings for October.
Even as higher-end resorts and homestays are already on the path to revival with an increase in bookings from guests for longer stays, the hotel industry believes that the Dasara season would bring an opportunity to welcome tourists who had been missing Coorg and its misty hills on account of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
