Kutta (Karnataka) कुत्ता (कर्नाटका)
Kutta is a small border town in the Kodagu (Coorg) district of Karnataka. Kutta is a destination that is a mix of forests and plantations in Coorg. A border town between Karnataka and Kerala, Kutta is part of Coorg, nestled deep inside the Western Ghats at the southern end of the coffee country. Yet for the usual visitors to Coorg in monsoons, it rarely fits into their tourist itinerary, leaving it a virtually unexplored territory.
A decade ago, we were driving from Mysore and had decided to take the longer route through the Nagarhole forest to reach Madikeri. Kutta greeted us on the way and we fell so much in love with the pretty nondescript town that we decided not to head any further.
