Chikkamagaluru
Chikkamagaluru is the coffee land of Karnataka; the land that brewed the first coffee cup in India and continues to research on better quality of coffee for every cup. Chikkamagaluru also has spices like pepper, cardamom, ginger, and turmeric and several fruits. The agro-friendly climate offers a perfect excuse to celebrate tourism. Baba Budangiri hills, the neighbouring Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, along with the horse-shaped hill Kudremukh’s National Park make Chikkamagaluru a hotspot for vacationing. Textile and wood-based industries are also in focus for development here.
