Marine Drive Raipur

By tirtha22

Marine Drive is located in the heartland of Raipur, the capital city of Chhattisgarh. The vast Telibandha lake was beautified and developed by the Tourism Department of Chhattisgarh and given a look of a marine drive. The entire region is wifi enabled and locals call it as wifi-tab. The area remains buzzed with the crowd around the day.

The Underground World of GOD

By rajeev

Patal Bhuvneshwari was one of the most exciting tours for us. Before starting for Nainital ( Nainital is a Himalayan town in the Kumaon region of India’s Uttarakhand state, at an altitude of around 2,000m. ) I explored about nearby places in Nainital. I do not want to explore the lake and another most visited place of Nainital.

Kerala’s Green Treasures-Idukki Trip-Part 2

By Venkat

Your troubles don’t end once you get the entrance tickets. Because the tickets to the actual boat ride will be issued only at the counters near the lake boating area which is another 2 kms away. From the gates of the sanctuary we left our car and took an auto to reach the boat house(auto drivers queue up at 3 am to book their place at the head of the queue). For the 2 kms, autos charge(robbed would be the right term)200 bucks to the inner gate of the sanctuary. From there, it is a sprint for another 500 metres to the ticket counter. After all these troubles, I just about managed to get the tickets just in the nick of time. I heard from the authorities that to avoid these troubles one can stay at the KTDC Aranya Nivas, inside the sanctuary which provides access to the boat rides.

‘Rock’On Mahabalipuram!

By Pravalika Kommagouni

The streets of Mahabalipuram are a photographer’s delight. The city is famous for stone sculptures. You can get your sculpture done within 3 months and get it delivered to your place just by giving your photograph and your measurements. The murals of deities, elephants, bhuddha’s are a very common sight. It is an eye feast to look at the workmen at work, carving intricate designs on the stones. I got to speak to one such person, Surya , who was diligently making a Ganesh idol. It took him 3 months so far to make the below idol and it would fetch him 35,000 INR. These idols are made using the machinery as well as traditional hammer and chisel. It gives altogether a different experience to stand among numerous idols which are going to make it temples where we are not allowed to go even 5 steps nearer. After a brief visit to the workshops we headed to the Arjuna’s penance.

Padarn Country Park: Wales

The slate cutting factory with the old rusty machinery al around. Slates were used for roofing, fencing etc. and was big business then. The factory was eventually closed down in the 1969 and now serves as a National Slate Museum.

Experiencing the Heart of India

By Ishaan

Hey there. I don’t know where to start. India has opened my eyes to a whole new culture I have never before seen. I’ve been born and brought up in Auckland, New Zealand, and often visit my home city Pune. However, this time, my relatives and I decided to visit the heart of Madhya Pradesh to get a historically and culturally rich experience. After having an initial debate on which places to go to, we came to the official conclusion of touring Khajuraho, Orchha and Gwalior.

Namdapha National Park | Arunachal Pradesh

By Anupam Chakraborty

We entered to a zone where no mobile network was available. In the jungles, we were cut off from rest of the world. Oh, it’s not only that, we were cut off from electricity too! Yet we were so engaged with the nature that we hardly felt their absence.

Walking tour of the bicycle capital of Europe – Amsterdam

By Manish Khamesra

It was around evening and we were exploring Amsterdam and enjoying its beautiful canal side. Houses around canal started to get lit from inside. The crimson sun was getting overwhelmed by dark clouds on the azure blue canvas with canal houses in foreground. Its rays were scattered all over the canal waters. It was a picture-perfect scene – very soothing and very relaxing. We tried to click what our eyes were seeing, but in vain.

Pangot – Beyond the Ordinary

By Patrick Jones

Pangot is one such place. Just a short distance from Nainital – where Delhiites flock to during summer months – it boasts of no mall road or glitzy hotels but is a tiny hamlet within the folds of Kumaon hills with a few hotels now coming up. Drive up 15 km from Naini lake, go past snow-view point, you’ll reach this cosy little place without pretentions.

औरंगाबाद में दूसरा दिन

By Uday Baxi

औरंगाबाद में बिताये पहले दिन का यात्रा-संस्मरण आप इस कड़ी के पहले भाग में पढ़ चुके हैं. एल्लोरा की विश्वप्रसिद्ध गुफाएँ तथा कई अन्य पर्यटन स्थल हम देख चुके थे. अब दूसरे दिन की यात्रा “अजंता की गुफ़ाओं” को समर्पित थी. औरंगाबाद शहर से अजंता की गुफाएँ लगभग १०० किलोमीटर दूर हैं. यदि गाड़ी संतुलित और उसका ड्राईवर कुशल हो, यह दूरी लगभग २ घंटे में पूरी की जा सकती है. चूँकि गुफाएँ प्रातः ९ बजे खुलतीं हैं, इसीलिए औरंगाबाद से हमलोग

औरंगाबाद में प्रथम दिन

By Uday Baxi

औरंगाबाद (महाराष्ट्र) में, अगर आपका सिर्फ दो दिनों का प्रवास हो, तो आप वो दो दिन कैसे बिताएंगे? यदि घुमक्कड़ी पसंद हो, तो आपके लिए मैं अपने अनुभव प्रस्तुत करता हूँ. उस समय मार्च-अप्रैल का महीना चल रहा था. गर्मी के महीने अभी पूरी तरह शुरू भी नहीं हुए होंगे कि औरंगाबाद में गर्मी बढ चली थी. टोपी और सन-स्क्रीन फायदेमंद थे. लगता है कि यहाँ बरसात के मौसम में आना चाहिए. शायद बरसात में गीले और हरे हो चुके वनस्पतियों के बीच यह शहर और यहाँ की वादियाँ और भी सुन्दर लगतीं. यात्रा-मार्ग की दिशा व दूरी और गंतव्य पर पहुचने की सुविधा के ख्याल से प्रथम दिवस को हमलोगों ने “ग्रिश्नेश्वरमंदिर – एल्लोरा गुफा”, “भद्र मारुती मंदिर – औरंगजेब का मक़बरा” तथा “पनचक्की – बीबी का मकबरा” देखने का निश्चय किया. आप चाहें तो इसी यात्रा मार्ग पर “दौलताबाद का किला” भी जा सकते हैं.
