COORG a perfect destination to unwind yourself…
In today's busy and competitive life each and every person would love to distress
themselves or spend some time with the family, friends and dear ones by getting out of their regular lifestyle. For this special and important change in their regular life style people like to go to places where they find peace of mind, where they can relax and distress themselves and enjoy their stay which is planned. If we observe it is not only young professional who are working want to go on tour but also people who have retired from their profession and wants to spend some time with their family as they would not have got time to be with their family when they worked.
Keeping these trends and requirement of the people we decided to design a website for a tourist place which would help people to distress themselves as well as make their trip memorable and worth staying. We decided to design a website for Coorg which is popularly called as "The Kashmir of Karnataka". Coorg is the anglicized name of KODAGU. Coorg is a tourist destination which has turned every visitor's stay worth for million dollars. This tourist designation is suitable for all the generations of today. Finally, we designed
www.coorgtourism.org for all the people who are travel freaks and for all those who wants to explore Coorg to the fullest. This website provides with the complete details about tourism in coorg and all the information can be gathered from here.
