Monks on Wheels presents to you Nishani Motte Trek, a 2-day experience of Talacauvery, Coorg.

Nishani Motte is awesome! Here’s why?

Nishani Betta which literally translates to “marked hill”. During the British era, the peak was used as a mark to find the directions to different places on the hill path.
