Wayanad(2015)

-

Wayanad is one of the best tourist destinations in Kerala. We planned to explore Wayanad during the summer of 2015(April). Most of the places involve heavy walking. So, be prepared. People who are not keen on sightseeing but like to enjoy nature can also opt for it.

What to Expect: Wayanad is a place to enjoy lakes, waterfalls, caves, and small treks. There are only a few tourist spots all throughout Wayanad. So, we included three national parks in three different directions that connect Wayanad with TamilNadu and Karnataka.

Not to be missed: Edakkal Caves, Irupu Falls, Kuruva Island and Kanthanpara waterfalls.

Meenmuty, Soochipara and Kanthanpara are the main falls here. As we visited Wayanad during the off-season, many waterfalls were dry. So, we visited only the Kanthanpara Falls. Of the three, people say that Kanthanpara Falls is easily accessible and safe for kids to enjoy.

Duration: The tourist places are scattered across Wayanad. So, it is better to plan it for 3 to 5 days with a day of rest in between. Consider allocating sufficient time to enjoy each place as most of the places involve some trekking. We planned it for 5 days in total with a break of two days for rest. 3 days are quite enough for sightseeing.

Best time to visit: Definitely it is not the right time to enjoy the complete beauty of Waterfalls and lovely nature during March and April. The best time would be between December and February.

Mode Of Transport: As the places are scattered, it is best to opt for a cab instead of depending on Public Transport.

Eatery: Many resorts here do not have In-hall dining but they provide whatever we prefer to eat in the room. So, do confirm with the place whether they provide what you require. It is better to do some research on the restaurants near the place you plan to have your food on the way(while sightseeing) if you prefer comfort over food.

Food: Kerala Parathas were good.

Stay: We stayed at Silent Creek resort. It was a good stay. They did not have In-hall dining and they served us what we preferred. The food was good.

I have specified the number of hours spent each day for sightseeing so that one can plan accordingly depending on the places.

Jaipur  (👉 Old Jaipur City ,👉  Royal Forts )(3N) –  Ajmer (0N) –  Pushkar (1N) – Udaipur (2N) - Chittorgarh(0N) (Click on the name of the cities to browse through each in detail) Sanganeri Gate, One Of The Seven Gates To Enter The Old Jaipur City Everybody knows that Jaipur is called the pink city. With all those expectations we landed in Jaipur on December 25 th 2019. To our surprise it did not appear so. It appeared like normal city in India with all big new buildings, malls and hotels painted in different colours. As we proceeded to our stay we understood that it was the OLD JAIPUR which was called the ‘ PINK CITY ’ earlier and the phrase now means the entire Jaipur as such. Big Red sandstone coloured Wall Surrounds Old Jaipur with many gates or arches in different directions as Entrance to the Old City . Every building appears similar and in the same colour within this great wall. Best Time: We visited Jaipur during Christmas Time and we felt it to be the best. As

Mind: The Palace Of Thoughts

1.Realisation: Am I obsessed with my thoughts?  Will you please stop chattering? Why don't you leave me free ?Can you please stop thinking about it? Why do you always hold on to it? If these are the questions you ask your mind, then you have crossed half way in getting those answers. Yes, at least you have realised that your mind is out of your control. There are people who have not even realised it. They let their mind take them wherever it goes without even realising that their mind is taking them on a journey of thoughts. There are also people who realise that they are into a bad thought but don't wish to come out of it and they keep playing it like a movie.  Many people consider it as very normal and do not wish to give importance to the thoughts they get. Yes, it is of least  importance unless it doesn't affect your emotional health. But, on the other hand,  if you are emotionally down, understand that it may be because of your thoughts. Being emotionally down at times

Vizag(Dec 2018)

  The moment we informed others that we are planning to spend five days in Vizag, the first question everyone asked was " What is there in Vizag to spend five days?" . To be honest, we felt it tight by the end of our trip. Though Vizag as such doesn’t have many places to visit, there are places in and around Vizag to make the stay wonderful. For people who are interested in an ancient ruined sites, this is a good place to visit. Places Not To Be Missed: While in Vizag, it is better to combine Araku and Borra Caves and a few rare temples near Vizag. So do not miss Borra Caves, Katiki Waterfalls, Srikurmam, and Srimukhalingam while in Vizag.  Stay : Dolphin Hotel An Awesome hotel with good rooms and a lovely spread in the buffet. They arranged for excellent takeaways with fruit salad for our Borra trip(even at odd hours). Travel desk facility is also available. Local and outstation trips can be booked at a fair price. We liked our stay at this hotel. We did not have food anyw
