The first place visited was Coorg Jungle Mist Estate which covered with lush green coffee plantation and also pepper creepers surrounded to areca nut trees. The person In-charge explained that there are two types of coffee, Arabic and Robusta. And in Madikeri most of the coffee plants are of Robusta, because of its stronger and harsher taste. He explained the process of harvesting the cherries how they are de-pulped, washed and later dried either by drying machines or just by sun-drying and finally graded and sorted.
The next place visited was Kaveri Nisargadhama where most of the shopping was done by the students. After having the food, Golden Temple was visited, where students marveled to see the wonderful architecture, wall paintings, and many beautiful buildings with many art and craft which belongs to the Buddhist community.
