Watch out, Italy and Jamaica – the Indian district of Coorg is attempting to become the next must-visit destination for coffee lovers! The New York Times reports that plantations in India’s top coffee-growing region have been adding bed-and-breakfast-type lodging for guests to help offset the uncertainty of the coffee market.
In addition to drinking freshly roasted coffee from the plantations, tourists can also hike, climb nearby Mount Tadiandamol and visit the Nalaknad Palace. However, for coffee enthusiasts, the chief draw remains getting as close as possible to your favorite beverage. Some of the most respected brands of coffee in the world source their beans from this region, including Italy’s Illy.
To enter India, US citizens need both a valid passport and an Indian visa. You will not be able to purchase a visa on arrival, so make sure to apply well in advance of your scheduled departure.
If you’re traveling to India as a tourist, you’ll need the following documents to get your visa:
- Your US passport
- 2 recent passport-sized photos, taken within the past 6 months. You may not wear glasses for the photos.
- A completed Indian visa application form. To ensure that your visa application is approved, use your best penmanship and proofread the application carefully for mistakes. Make sure that you enter in “tourism” in the section that asks you to state why you are traveling to India.
- A clean, readable copy of your plane tickets or your itinerary.
- A clean, readable copy of your driver’s license or a utility bill showing your name and address.
