Wayanad(2015)

Image
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 wi...

  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...
