After a lot of contemplation, I finally have posted this. This is not exactly qualify as a travel stuff, but nevertheless its on the travel map.
Bangalore is often referred to as the ‘Garden City’. One landmark that stands testimony to this title is “Lalbagh Botanical Garden“.
Established in the year 1760, this green cover situated in South Bangalore is spread across a sprawling 240 acres and is maintained by the horticultural department which also has a training center inside Lalbagh.
In the region of southern India, about 2oo km from Bangalore there is a quite little hill station (sort of) known as Coorg. Also known as the Scotland of India, this place is very suitable as a weekend getaway from our boring and monotonous lives. I accept the fact that there are numerous places in our country for the nature lovers but this place has its own charm. The unvarnished environment makes you feel rejuvenated and the affable locals make it a pleasant vacation.
The town is pretty small and has limited resources, so let’s say there is not much of shopping you can do in this place, which means you can forget about taking a souvenir for your girl friend unless of course she is a coffee lover because in this place one thing you will never run out of is coffee! Public transport is quite good in this place and is not very expensive, you can also rent a car or a bike (don’t forget to take your driver’s license or you will end up cursing yourself or cursing the govt. like me) There are a few places you can check out around the town like Raja’s tomb, Medikeri fort, a museum, a temple, and some more small and boring places (now c’mon you do need some places to take a few snaps).
Most of the times, getting to the destination is more interesting than the destination itself. I had one such experience while on the way to Kokkare Bellur.
I had been wanting to visit this place for a long time now. Every time I pass the sign-board on the highway , i vowed to make it the next time. The “next time” did not happen for a long time until a few days back when I had made up my mind to visit this place.
I went to Vishweshwaraya Museum from my chacha’s house. Vishweshwaraya Museum was very far away from his house. I traveled for around one-two hour in the bus. I like traveling in the buses. The bus dropped us on the bus stop and we walked a little to reach Vishweshwaraya Museum.
