Day 5: Coorg -Mysore

In Short: We covered Mysore during our last visit in 2015. So, we restricted our day with Dubare and Nisargadhama.
If you like to play in the water then spend more time at Nisargadhama and if you want to enjoy bathing and feeding elephants then prefer Dubare.
  • Nisargadhama:
    • Travel Time: 1 hour from Jungle Coorg Resort.
    • Time Spent: Minimum 1 hour if you do not have time constraints.
  • Dubare:
    • Early morning visit is better. 
    • Try to be a bit early to stand in the queue. Though they say elephant bathing is allowed only during the early morning, don’t be in a hurry as the elephants are taken for bath even during the evenings.
    • Travel Time: Half Hour from Nisargadhama
    • Time spent: Totally depends on one's interest in feeding and bathing elephants. Minimum half hr to 45 minutes.

Nisargadhama:

Enjoyed being lazy during the first half of the day and started for sightseeing by 1. We visited Nisargadhama by 2:10. It is a very lengthy park. After a long walk, one would end up in a deer park. People were selling few cucumbers and carrots in plates during our last visit to feed the deer, but now the vendors were not seen. So the thrill of feeding the deer is missing now.

Deer Park is not the only thing here. The interesting part is the Cauvery river which is running at the backside. Once you enjoy viewing the deer, walk through the park and you will end up in the river area. We enjoyed 1 hour there bathing and playing in the water and moved to Dubare by 3:10.
1. One need to walk through a hanging bridge to enter the park 2. View from the hanging bridge 3. A walk through the park 4. After you walk all the way inside, you end up in a deer park.
1. Walking past the deer park, you will end up in Cauvery river( inside the campus) 2. Time to enjoy playing and bathing in Cauvery river.

Dubare:

It’s an half hour drive from Nisargadhama. We reached Dubare by 3:40. During our initial visit, we enjoyed(It was Awesome) walking across the river and bathing the elephants in the morning hours. But, this time we did not enjoy much as it was a bit hot and it made us tired. We chose to cross the river in motor boat .
A motor boat took us to the other side of the river. We fed the elephant, took snaps and returned to the other bank. My son spent half hour in playing in the water and we left by 5 clock.
1. A click from the motorboat 2. Dubare, the elephant camp entrance 3. Feeding elephants.
It is actually a place where one needs atleast an hour feeding, bathing the elephants. If you wish to walk on the rocks, do not opt for the motor boat ride. Just follow the people who walks to the other bank of the river. It is really fun and thrill to walk on the rocks.
We packed our bags and reached Mysore station on day 6. Thanks to  the driver who was with us for the whole trip. Reached Chennai on the same day.

Day1: Jaipur-The Pink City

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

Image
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)

Image
  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
