Trip to Coorg - the travelers
Once the Club Mahindra Kodagu Valley resort in Coorg was finalised as the destination, choosing the travelers for the trip then became important. As was written in the earlier post, Kiruba and I got together and compiled a list of bloggers, photographers and writers in a couple of weeks. Some of these bloggers were known to Kiruba, and the rest I selected based on their popularity and relevance in the blogosphere.
Three of the bloggers couldn’t turn up, one because he had a committment with the university where he held sessions, and the other two for other personal reasons.
This was first of its kind in India where a group of bloggers from diverse backgrounds and interests were coming together, and being sponsored by a company in the hospitality industry. All of them are very good in their area of blogging, and have earned a certain reputation in the Indian blogosphere.
Here are the list of travelers who attended the trip to Coorg :
Kiruba Shankar - The man needs no introduction if you are a blogger.
Dev Amritesh - Vice President(Marketing) with Dominos, a great entertainer, travel enthusiast and amateur blogger.
Mridula Dwivedi - Travel writer, whose travel blog has been mentioned in the BBC, Guardian etc.
