There is also a visit to a silk factory, and time to relax at coffee and spice plantations,\u201d said an official. The package has been launched on a pilot basis.<\/p>\n<div id=\"inarticle_wrapper_div\"><\/div>\n<p>Officials said they had received feedback and enquiries from potential travellers though the trip was yet to commence. The tour would become operational when a minimum of 35 passengers signed up.<\/p>\n<p>Although rooms in KSTDC hotels were on a twin-sharing basis, single travellers could be accommodated in single rooms depending on the availability, the officials added. More destinations were likely to be added to the package based on the response to the Mysuru-Kodagu offer.<\/p>\n<p>source: http:\/\/www.thehindu.com \/ The Hindu \/ Home&gt; News&gt; States&gt; Karnataka \/ by K.C.
