A tiny town in Karnataka, Chikmagalur, besides producing almost all the Indian coffee you have had in your entire life, is also famous for being a quaint getaway for busy city folks. However, don’t mistake it to be a sleepy town as there is a lot you can do here. Taking walk in the coffee plantations and being content all the time seems to be the favorite pastime of travelers visiting Chikmagalur. The name means ‘the land of younger daughter’ and is derived from the fact Chikmagalur was given as a dowry to the youngest daughter of Rukmangada, the legendary chief of Sakharayapattana.
