As the sun soared in the sky, casting a golden aura over the verdant hills of Coorg, I found myself immersed in a world of luxury and serenity at Evolve Back Resort, Coorg. Nestled amidst the lush greenery and coffee plantations of Karnataka, this exquisite retreat promised an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, and it did not disappoint.
Upon arrival, I was greeted with warm smiles and refreshing coconut water, setting the tone for a truly memorable stay. The resort’s architecture seamlessly blended with its natural surroundings, featuring traditional Kodava-style cottages adorned with intricate woodwork and thatched roofs. My accommodation exuded rustic charm while offering modern amenities, including a private plunge pool overlooking the breathtaking landscape.
Each day at Evolve Back Resort was a new adventure waiting to unfold. I started my mornings with a leisurely stroll through the aromatic coffee plantations, guided by knowledgeable staff who shared fascinating insights into the region’s rich agricultural heritage. The resort’s commitment to sustainability was evident in every aspect, from organic farming practices to eco-friendly initiatives. We experienced bird watching in the early wee hours, that time when the birds do come out of their safe havens to show us their beautiful feathers and their breathtaking wings of works.
Later in the day we visited an extensive trekking expedition inside the Dubarre forest, a forest once inhabited by the infamous Veerappan – an elephant tusk thief. We trekked through the rugged forest exploring elephant trails, all the while praying that one does not show up.
One of the highlights of my stay was the culinary experience at the resort’s restaurants. From traditional Coorgi delicacies bursting with local flavors to global cuisine prepared with finesse, every meal was a gastronomic delight. I savored each bite while soaking in the panoramic views of the surrounding hills and valleys.
For relaxation and rejuvenation, I indulged in spa treatments inspired by ancient Ayurvedic practices. The soothing massages and herbal therapies transported me to a state of blissful tranquility, leaving me refreshed and renewed.
In between moments of leisure, I explored the rich cultural heritage of Coorg through curated experiences arranged by the resort. Evenings were magical at Evolve Back Resort, with bonfires under the starlit sky and live performances showcasing the rich folklore and music of Coorg. It was a time to connect with fellow travelers and share stories over freshly brewed coffee and delectable snacks. We enjoyed various local dance forms like Karaga Kunita and other local dance forms.
I thoroughly enjoyed the freshly cultivated and then brewed coffee over here. The sweet aroma of the coffee seeds still lingers!
As my time at Evolve Back Resort came to an end, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the unforgettable experiences and memories created during my stay. The seamless blend of luxury, nature, culture, and hospitality made it a journey worth cherishing forever.
