Tiger Sighting at Sariska Tiger Reserve

By

I was ready with my camera, wiped the lens twice, removed the gloves and positioned myself stood high on the rear seat resting my back properly. Looking around with extra vigil eyes for more than 10 minutes discovered no sign of any big cat. Relaxed and confirmed of my hard luck again I reclined my stiff body to the iron bars of the gypsy and lazily looked at a pair of peacocks marching past close to our gypsy.

Meeting with Monalisa and Mr. Eiffel – Part 1

By

The main entrance covers a big area. Its size is comparable to one of the biggest metro stations (Rajiv Chowk) in Delhi. I am sure hundreds of people were only at the entrance, may be because of weekend (Saturday). For entering Louvre, you first enter the basement and get your tickets and then come to the ground floor to start your tour inside the museum.

Picture perfect beaches on Jolly Buoy

The Emerald Islands of Andaman and Nicobar

The view from underwater is breathtaking. Corals, oysters, sea weeds, colored fish ┬аand the surrounding blue water is mesmerizing. Touching endangered species such as corals are ┬аnot allowed. The best part of the sea walk actually came when we fed pieces┬аof bread to┬аthe ┬аfish. As soon as you hold up the bread pieces, fish of different colors gather around you and it does get a bit ticklish but it is definitely a wonderful experience. ┬аAfter 20 minutes of ┬а“seawalking”, the divers ┬аescorted us back up to the pontoon. When you climb up, one is likely to experience ┬аthe pressure factor again . At the end of it, the whole experience leaves you spellbound and the sparkling blue water always tantalizes you to go back underwater.

Trek to DudhSagar Falls: Trek along the Railway Track

By

We hired a place to sleep at night near the beach only, 600 rs per day and then left to explore the night life of GOA. We left for the Anjuna beach where there is a secret pub called Curley’s. You can not reach there on car. You will have to park it around a km before the actual place. The ambiance at the place was just ecstatic, with a mixed Indian and foreigner crowd, the place was too good for the prices quoted. We had another pint of beer, checked about the dance party every night there. It was scheduled to start by 10 30, so we thought we won’t join it, as we wanted to start early morning next day towards Dudhsagar. Came back to the baga beach grabbed a bite and then went off to sleep.

Next morning we started towards Castle rock station, around 80 km from Panaji. To reach dudhsagar falls, one has to do trekking atleast for 2 km. There are 4 routes to reach the place, of which the Castle rock railway track trek is the longest 14 km and the best one too. We opted for the best. Reaching Castle rock by 9 30. We got ready for the trek, by giving away the extra luggage at a food shop on the station. Took idli from the shop, and started our trek. It was difficult to walk on the track and there was no parallel way to walk on. The┬аenthralling┬аviews and the desire to reach the destination kept us moving.

I loved the peaceful moonlit night, the pool was looking all the more beautiful and water looked more of green than blue at that point of time тШ║ With our feet dipped in the pool, we chatted for a good long time and realized it was almost 12 am.
