Ever since a Facebook friend of mine had posted an article on Neelakurinji blooms in Munnar, I was waiting to see it live. I had read articles on the Valley of flowers and the Tulip-gardens of the north, but when I saw that such a phenomenon happens in the south, that too once in 12… Continue reading Ticket to Munnar feat. Neelakurinji
Ticket to Tirupati
We might have often heard the saying that “you go to a place when the place calls you!”, this was true for me in case of Tirupati. About two years ago, when I had planned the trip to Tirupati with family, viral-fever had appeared as Murphy’s Law and made me cancel my trip. Now after… Continue reading Ticket to Tirupati
Ticket to Ramanagara
Though during my Chennapattana and Mysore visit I had seen Ramanagar on the way, I could never make up my mind to visit. All I could see was just the huge boulders. Recently when I was trying to look for places around, few articles showed that the Legend….. (wait for it) … dary, the legendary… Continue reading Ticket to Ramanagara
Ticket to Kolara
This trip was a quick pilgrimage in the places around Kolara. I had a crew this time of 6 people. Our prime location was Mulabagilu Anjaneya temple. The places around Kolar have their stories knotted to Ramayana, thanks to cousin Shubha for a timely update about all the places. We added Kotilingeshwara, Kurudumale, and Antaragange… Continue reading Ticket to Kolara
Ticket to Lepakshi
Lepakshi has been appearing as one of the frequent suggestions every time I look for places to visit around Bangalore. The unique naaga-linga structure had caught my attention easily. I wanted to see it for real. Also, as usual, I started to look for places on the way to plan my day better.
Ticket to Pondy
It was a dream trip plan for a special day. I wanted to celebrate my birthday with a unique experience. Pondy + scuba-diving was a perfect combination. With my experience from the Rajasthan trip, the hostel was the best accommodation for a solo trip. I got a good deal at Villa Olivia for my two-day… Continue reading Ticket to Pondy
Ticket to Mysore
Mysore has been one of those places which I dreamt of visiting after hearing a lot about its weather and culture. I had to force myself to go alone for this trip since most of my close circle had already visited Mysore. One fine day, I just sat with my laptop and started to list… Continue reading Ticket to Mysore
Ticket to Channapatna
Every soul needs a trip, a solo trip. It’s just to find the endless possibilities. One such trip I had been was to Channapatna. It was one of those days where I just had to stop my brain from its routine and explore something different. “How about a visit to a vineyard ?” said the inner… Continue reading Ticket to Channapatna
Ticket to Dodda Aladamara & Machanbele Dam
When I heard about this 100+ year old tree ( some say it is more than 300), it reminded me of the ‘Three-eyed Ravan” from GOT! It was Sunday morning when I packed my backpack to visit this giant tree. Around a 30km journey from Bangalore and around 9km off Mysore road. The main tree is actually dead and… Continue reading Ticket to Dodda Aladamara & Machanbele Dam
