Coorg is not the name of a specific place. Rather it is the name of the region, to be specific name of the district. In other words you’ll not find any bus with ‘Coorg’ written as destination. So in touristic terms Coorg refers to a larger area that encircles many attractions. Coorg is the anglicized version of the native and official name Kodagu (Ko-Da-Gu). Madikeri is the administrative capital

and biggest town of Coorg district. In all probability this is the name of the destination when one books ticket to Coorg. Here again Madikeri is the anglicized version of the local name Mercara (Mer-Ca-Ra). Other subdistricts and larger towns in Coorg are Somwarpet and Virajpet. MADIKERI is the district head quarters of Coorg (Kodagu) district of Karnataka State in southern India. It is often referred to as the Scotland of India. A very beautiful place indeed and is a hill station with mild climate during the summer. Mahadeva Pete is also one of the main roads of beautiful Madikeri. There are many scenic spots out there. It is some times referred to as Mini Kashmir. The British anglicized the name to Mercara. Kodagu receives heavy rainfall starting in June and ending in October. Kodagu is rich in culture and heritage. People live with mutual understanding without any discrimination of caste or creed. People of Kodagu are famous hosts. Kodagu produces coffee, cardamom, oranges and spices. All together it is a heaven on Earth. Madikeri (Kannada:ಮಡಿಕೇರಿ) is a town in Karnataka state, India. Also known as Mercara, it is the headquarters of Kodagu district. Etymology:
Madikeri was formerly known as Muddurajakeri. Muddurajakeri which means Mudduraja's town, was named after the prominent Haleri king, Mudduraja who ruled Kodagu from 1633-1687. The form of the name often used in English, Mercara, is derived from Madikeri by a standard transformation of the retroflex 'd' to an 'r' consonant. History:
The history of Madikeri is related to the history of Kodagu. From the 2nd to 6th century AD, the northern part of Kodagu was ruled by Kadambas. The southern part of Kodagu was ruled by Gangas from 4th to 11th century. After defeating the Gangas in the 11th century, Cholas became the rulers of Kodagu. In the 12th century, Cholas lost Kodagu to the Hoysalas. Kodagu fell to the Vijayanagar kings in the 14th century. After their fall, the local chieftains (Palegars) started ruling their areas directly. These were defeated by the Haleri kings who ruled Kodagu from 1600-1834 A.D. Haleri kings made the place Haleri, near Madikeri as their capital. Mudduraja, the third king among the Haleri kings started leveling the land around Madikeri and built a fort in the year 1681. This place was named as Muddurajakeri which later became Madikeri. Kodagu became the part of British India after 1834 A.D.[1]
