Is this the best time to visit Coorg | | Hi,
Am planning to visit Coorg in the second week of October for about 2 days. Wanted to know if it is the right time to visit and will there be rain during this period?
Do i have to book a hotel before going there, or will there be availability of rooms when i reach there without a booking? Suggestions for some good hotels will also help (other than Orange county and similar resorts).
Thanks in advance
