Where to Stay in BR Hills | Exploring with Gorukana

Just a day trip from Mysore, you can be up in the gorgeous B R Hills where there are 2,500 species of plants and tress along with tigers, leopards, elephants, sloth bears, and guar plus over 200 species of birds.  BR Hills is named from Lord Biligiri Ranga. Bili means white and giri means hills

Discovering the Soliga Tribe of BR Hills

Interacting with the Soliga Tribals of BR Hills is one of the most interesting things I’ve done since I’ve lived in India. While touring Karnataka with goMowgli, we went up to the famous BR hills to glamp at Gorukana, an NGO which helps the tribals keep a sustainable lifestyle. (I'll tell more about that next week).

Green Hotel Mysore, A Princess Palace & Hangout Spot

Two nights in a room in a palace? Yes please! The Green Hotel was called Chittaranjan Palace when it was built by the Maharaja (Great King) of Mysore for his sister in 1916.

Backpacking Coorg | Chikli Hole, Bylakuppe & Mandalpatti

Coorg is amazing. It's literally this jungle land full of nature worshiping warriors that make homemade wine and devour pork curry in their spare time. I mean, there's more to it than that but I think that's the big take away I got while backpacking Coorg with goMowgli. This post shares just SOME of what we

Bathing Elephants in India | Dubare Elephant Camp

I'm so excited to start sharing all the adventures I've been having the last month in Karnataka. It was an early morning start to Dubare Elephant camp, which wasn't easy for me after my Volvo breakdown of the century (which I'll tell you about later!). I was soon to see why we left Mysore so
