Kodava Heritage and Lifestyle: A Glimpse into the Rich Traditions of Coorg

The Kodava heritage and lifestyle are deeply rooted in the culture, traditions, and history of the Kodava community. The Kodava people, who primarily reside in Coorg (Kodagu), have a lifestyle that is inextricably linked to the land, nature, and spiritual practices. Their farming traditions, particularly in coffee cultivation, are a significant part of daily life. Visitors staying at The River Homestay in Kushalnagar have the unique opportunity to witness this lifestyle firsthand, whether it’s by joining in the coffee picking process, participating in traditional feasts, or learning about the community’s close-knit social structure. The homestay offers an authentic experience of Kodava culture, including its music, food, and family traditions, which have been preserved over generations.
