Chikkamagaluru was always mentioned by my dad and his cousins with a lot of affection as they spent their holidays in their maternal Grandfather’s coffee estate. I have heard many incidents and stories that my dad and his cousins experienced in Chikkamagaluru. My love for nature and Chikkamagaluru was triggered by their memories of walking into the estate picking and biting into Juicy Figs, Jackfruit, and Pomelo/Grape Fruit; admiring Orchids and plucking spikes to present it to their grandmother; rafting in the pond; hearing the roar of tigers and panthers; climbing trees; swishing twigs in the night that would emit light and many many other exciting activities!
