Mysuru: After devastating floods and landslides ravaged Kodagu district, the District administration is trying hard to bring back the district, once known for serene hilly landscapes, eye-catching coffee estates and its sacred groves, into the tourism circuit map. And as part of the efforts to boost tourism, a three-day “Kodagu Utsav” or “Pravasi Utsav” is being held in Madikeri from Jan. 11.
Speaking at the calendar release event organised by Mysuru Hotel Owners Association here yesterday, Deputy Director of Tourism Department H.P. Janardhan said that the intention of “Kodagu Utsav” to be organised by Tourism Department is to bring back tourists to Kodagu. The festival will be organised on the lines of Mysuru Winter Festival recently.
