Quick Summary
Honey Valley Estate is in the ideal location for holidaying in
south india.It is perfect for walkers, nature lovers and anyone in
need of rest and relaxation.
The Honey Valley Estate is situated in the Western Ghats in the heart of Kodagu (Coorg),
about 250 kilometers from Bangalore. Kodagu is the Scotland of India, with misty green slopes and lush forest, and offers a beautiful location for walking, bird watching or simply relaxing. Most of Kodagu is between 1,000 and 1,400 meters above sea level, which makes its
climate pleasantly cool. Winding roads, often bordered by flowering shrubs and neat hedges,
link the scattered hamlets.
The Honey Valley Estate is situated in a remote part of Kodagu, near the tallest peak
in the region, Thadiyandamole. It is possible to reach the 1,750 meter peak by foot in three and a half hours from Honey Valley. Until 1994, the estate was the largest producer of honey in India (approximately 6.5 tones per year), but disappearance of the native bees stopped production. The estate now produces coffee, cardamom and pepper, which are all grown as ecologicallyas possible.The estate also has a small nursery of anthuriums. Honey Valley is virtually self-sufficient in many respects,including electricity which is generated by water power.
Your hosts at Honey Valley are the husband and wife owners of the estate, Suresh and Susheela Chengappa and their Daughter Savitha. They are very knowledgeable about local flora and fauna. Susheela and family prepare traditional food, most of which is home-grown.
