Coimbatore also known as Kovai is a major developing smart city in the Tamil Nadu located on the banks of the Noyyal River amidst Western Ghats. It is often referred to as the ‘Manchester of South India’ due to its cotton production, garment and textile industries.

Exploring the beauty of Jammu

By Agrta Singh

Then we thought to roam around the hotel, so we asked our taxi driver to take on a small ride around here and there. There was a small market with some J & K government cottages beside that market. Those cottages are for those who don’t want to stay inside the hotel. These cottages have their own kitchen where a family can stay and cook their food on own and can enjoy in the midst of nature.

Yuksom – a peaceful abode in the laps of Eastern Himalayas

By SRIYANKA CHATTERJEE

Yuksom is still regarded as the base camp of Kanchenjungha, although ascent from Sikkim side has stopped over a decade ago. The mountains are revered as God by localites and stepping foot on the sacred slopes amounts to desecration of the divine forces. Kanchenjungha is abode of the Gods. We came across camps of the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute. Their basic and advanced mountaineering courses are conducted at Rathong Glacier, the starting point of which also happens to be Yuksom.

Kurukshetra and Karna Lake

By mukesh

About Karna Lake, this place is suitable for those who donot want to travel much from Delhi, loves peace and looking for a short break. My suggestion, this place is very good for 2 days and one night kind of itinerary and one will enjoy this place. Take a walk on the well paved path along the lake, it takes approx 30 minutes for one round, enjoy the beauty of the place. Sit near to lake , you will feel very good, this place gives lot of peace, do boating. I must state here that i have never experienced such a wonderful service, ambience, maintainence, food from a government tourist place, the staff is very polite, is ready to help to their level best, every thing on the food menu is availabe which we generally don’t see in hotels run by tourism department.

Food is little expensive but the service, taste and ambience of the restaurant is up to the mark. They also have a well packed bar besides restaurant in case somebody is interested and small gift shop.

We roamed around the lake in the evening, took our dinner and called it a day at 11 pm. Woke up at around 7 am in the morning , took some pics of Karna lake from the balcony, it was looking so awesome. Went for a walk around lake, came back had a break fast of tandoori parantha and puri bhaji.

अमृतसर – रामतीरथ – श्री गुरुरामदास प्रकाश पर्व – घर वापसी

By Sushant Singhal

सीढ़ियां उतर कर उस सूखे सरोवर को पगडंडी के रास्ते पार करके मैं सामने वाली उस बस्ती में पहुंचा तो लगने लगा कि किसी दूसरी ही दुनिया में पहुंच गया हूं। यह कहना ज्यादा सही लगता है कि वह सरोवर एक टाइम मशीन था, जिसमें प्रवेश किया तो कलयुग था पर जब उस पार जाकर मशीन से बाहर निकला तो त्रेतायुग में आ गया था। सीता मैया की झोंपड़ी जिसमें वह रहती थीं, रसोई जिसमें वह खाना बनाया करती होंगी, वह सरोवर जिसमें स्नान-ध्यान चलता होगा, वह कुआं जो सीता मैया के लिये उनके अनन्य सेवक हनुमान जी ने खोद कर दिया था, सब कुछ ऐसा लग रहा था कि बस! शब्दों में व्यक्त कर पाना मेरे लिये कठिन हो रहा है। पराकाष्ठा यह है कि सीता मैया की रसोई के पास सरोवर की सीढ़ी पर एक झुमका पड़ा दिखाई दिया तो मन में एकदम ख्याल आया कि शायद ये झुमका उस समय से यहीं पड़ा हुआ है जब रावण द्वारा हरण कर लेने के बाद वह आकाश मार्ग से लंका ले जाये जाते समय रास्ते में यह सोच कर अपने आभूषण गिरा रही थीं कि शायद इनको देख कर किसी को उनका अता-पता मिल सके ।

Varanasi

By Arpit

I do not care for the ‘truths’ they have faith in or the ‘lies’ they spread. This is not the first cremation that I am descrying nor shall it be the last, but in this moment, I’ve understood the human endeavor of fighting death with life. The answer to the fears of our faith is in welcoming it with our arms wide open and embracing it like a long lost brother. It’ll be perhaps in this gesture that the faithful shall be granted nirvana.

Around a 1000 strong crowd has gathered to see what is a daily ritual but is as powerful and enchanting as it must have been a 1000 years ago. The spiritual seekers have loaded the boats – some to get a better view, some for better pictures and some for their beliefs – an adventure of a lifetime. The head priest is crying hoarse asking people to sit down calmly – all the skills of a masterful showman.

So much for the lonely moksha… (sigh)

Skydiving Experience

By Shrinidhi Hande

I opted for the tandem jump. On the assigned day, I reached Mysore airport. Staff from Kakini enterprises, organizers of the skydiving arrived later. There were about a dozen participants that day and my turn was at the end. That day’s group had some air force personnel and some adventure seekers like me.

Visit to Lothal near Ahmedabad : An introduction to Harappan Civilization

By Shivam Singh

Excavation site is walking distance of half km from there. Sun is at its peak but cool breeze was maintaining the temperature. At most 20-30 people were there including the staff and visitors. We first visited the Archaeological Museum and it’s better to visit museum first because it contains a lot of information about the site and that will help you to understand and visualize the whole architecture at the site. As photography is prohibited in the museum so no snaps are available inside of it.

A weekend trip to digha. The Journey.

By funkybanana

When in Doubt, ask again. Ask someone else if you feel that the shmuck you just asked for directions was an inebriated nincompoop. I believe that even now, in the age of GPS and other bond gadgetry, the ultimate GPS is still the roadside paan wallah. Such is the level of accuracy & dependability, that i think they should be hired to proofread the local Google maps data.

You stop by a tapri/ khokha (as referred to in mumbai), light up a smoke, order a sweet paan, strike up a light conversation about how good or bad the weather is, and that’s it. Camaraderie set. The paan wallah will now easily divulge even the most complex info about the routes to take, routes to avoid, probable shortcuts & other awesome places to see in between. Screw you, GMaps !! I got my own local wiki/GPS/navigator/tour-guide.
