Yelagiri

Place : Yelagiri, Tamil nadu
Distance from Bangalore : 165 Km
Resort we stayed : Zeenat Taj Garden resorts
                              They do not have any website for their resort but you can easily search them on net. Rooms are good and met all my expectation. Very big garden, with mango, tamarind, rose apple, guava etc etc trees. Very well maintained, spacious resorts.
Activity : Various indoor and outdoor activities. and enough space to pay around.
Food : Andra style food. Good and tasty especially non-veg. They do not have any menu system.

Additional note : There is nothing much outside to visit in terms of site seen. so 1 night trip is enough.


Day 1 : Due to late night sleep, amber was sleeping till 10.30 AM. We were suppose to start by 9 AM. I was confused weather we will make it or not. He woke up and said we are leaving in 30 min, is everything ready. How on the earth he can think that I will get everything ready when I am not even sure we will go or not.


                        Then we were ready by 11.15 AM we cut the chocolate cake made by 'chef Chitra' on special occasion of 4th Marriage anniversary. Finally we started 11.30 AM from home. with packed breakfast and lunch. We reached yelagiri(also called as elagiri) by 3 PM. but somehow we missed the resort board and searched for it for an hour. :( and reached resort by 4 PM. That time i was so frustrated and angry but after seeing the resort and rooms I was satisfied that I booked a good resort. It was tea time, had tea with bread-omlate. we enjoyed the resort in evening, finished our day with good dinner.


The resort
Day 2 : After having south indian breaskfast we started to have tour of the garden. it was really nice garden with so many mango, gwava, rose apple, tamarind, butter fruit trees. I should be here in summer to eat mangoes from trees. But I snatched tamarind from trees. Wanted to eat some more unknown fruits available in garden since they were looking yummy, but amber was not ready for this experiment. :D
After that we played badminton. we started back to bangalore after lunch(mutton biryani).
On the way back

Year 2023

  I did not do a good job in writing the blogs on time in last 2 years, so thought of at least writing the year 2023 recap on time. So here is my try, let's see if I can finish it and post before 2024 starts. :) The year 2023, I would say was quite happening - lots of travel, successful in terms of achieving milestones (personal as well as professional) and full of dance performances & fun. January 2023 - Rann of Kutch: Gujarat   We were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary this year. I asked my husband to plan a trip this time (mostly I do it). He did a good job I must say as nothing could be better and more romantic than Rann of Kutch. We booked 3 night 4 days full board itinerary in super premium tents via  https://www.rannutsav.net/  which is their official tourism site. They also had SNOW music festival on the same 3 days. I was very excited for the trip. The trip proved to be more and beyond than my imagination. The Dhordo tent city, overall arrangement, food and ente

Scandinavia: Tryst with Northern Lights (Oct 2023)

Scenic Scandinavia: Our tryst with Aurora Borealis (a.k.a. Northern Lights) Aurora Borealis - Dream come true I think people fall in love with Scandinavia (especially Norway) in their childhood, when they study about "Land of Midnight Sun" or "Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis". We were no different. It had been a childhood dream of my husband and me to see these wonders with our naked eyes. We were fortunate enough to live one of these dreams - to see powerful northern lights, dancing in the dark sky, filling it with green, pink, red colours as if playing Holi (festival of colours) with the heavens and decorated with countless shining stars. The planning started in July, when incidentally one of our friends, Sahil, mentioned that seeing northern lights was one of their dreams too. I immediately started a joint trip. It took us 15-20 days of research to finalise the itinerary which goes as below (we made some corrections in between): Day 1-2 : Arrive in Stockholm, sig

Nandi hills : Trekking path

Image
Nandi hills : Trekking path Place : Nandi Hills Distance from Bangalore : Around 60 km Trip type : Day trip/Half day trip Day of travel : 3rd August trekking length/Duration : Approx 4 km (to and fro). 1-1.5 hour If you are staying in Bengaluru then you must have been to Nandi hills. If you have been to Nandi Hills then you must be knowing that one can drive till the hill top. Then why trekking??? This trekking path will offer you completely different view which is not available from the top of Nandi Hills. The trek starts from backside of the paved road. The trek is very well carved stepped path. Throughout the trek is green and scenic. If you are not used to steps then you might find it hectic, take rest in between. This is best trekking path if you are beginner or with kids. My 8 year son completed the trek without getting tired. Google map shows the "Nandi hills trek starting point" So make sure you set the right location in the map. You will also find the Notice board on
