Image Gallery: Datsun Go There drive to Chikmagalur
The first leg of our Datsun Go There series of travel stories has concluded with a fabulous drive into the mountains around Chikmagalur. We had a great time discovering the origins of coffee in India with contest winner Harshad Palsule. Here are some images from our travels.
These wonderful rolling hills are where the first coffee was planted by Baba Budan in the late 1600s
Always smiling, Harshad was really excited to #GoThere with the delightful Datsun Go
That's what every cup of your morning wake up medicine looks like before processing. These are mostly green beans and are ready to harvest when they turn red

A quiet road and a warm sunset was a great way to end a wonderful day
A few kilos of coffee should last us till the next trip to Chickmagalur
Tomato rice and coconut chutney are also a great way to start the day. Best sampled on the highway to Chikmagalur
The delightful Datsun Go was a treat through the twisty hill roads that wind their way through the coffee plantations
