2013 travel - Coorg

 


Place : Coorg, Karnataka
Distance from Bangalore : 260 km
Place we stayed :  The last resort, It is a Home stay. have around 3-4 rooms only. As name says this is last building in that road inside coffee plantation.
Website link : http://lastresort.co.in/
Dates of travel : 26-28 Jan 2013
Food : Home made food. very limited options. 1 Veg-1 non veg starter, 1 veg and 1 non veg gravy, sambar, rice and chapatti. All have a bit of south indian flavour but food is really tasty and have very good home made flavour. we liked food a lot.

I wanted to have a good trip before i start my office full time, but we could not have it, as everybody was quite concern about Tatva. So on our 5th wedding anniversary we decided to celebrate it out of station, and The Last Resort was perfect option for what we were looking for.


route to river

River
Day 1 : We started from home around 10.30 AM. That was the best I could manage with Tatva. :D. I forgot to download the route and there is no network connection so after struggling a bit we managed to reach resort by 3 PM.  


As name mentioned this is last house in that road and situated in very good location. The place is inside the coffee plantation and river, elephant camp is at walkable distance.The path till river is also beautiful and panoramic . After having food, we decided to spend rest of the time in the resort and river. Tatva was amazed with the river as this was his first encounter with continuous flowing water.
 
 

 
 Day 2 : Dubare Elephent camp - Last time I missed baby elephant bathing so this time I was very excited for this activity. The resort of very close to elephant camp and one can walk as well it is 1.5 km from the resort, But if you want to go by car it is little long route. Here Tatva did his first ride to a boat and it went pretty well. It is funny that once you have baby you start counting everything which happen to him first time and how it went. ;)
                    In Dubare elephant camp you can do following activity :

1. Elephant bathing
2. Elephant feeding
3. boating
4. Elephant ride

Day 3 : Leaving to Bangalore - This morning we had tour to our coffee plantation and had filter coffee from this plantation. and I arranged surprised cake on our 5th wedding for Amber. :) After enjoying relaxing and lazy morning and afternoon we started from to Bangalore at 2 PM.

If you want to enjoy a relaxing weekend in nature's lap, and not having many activities in mind this can be a good option. But here we have very young man, tired after his first vacation. :)

Year 2023

Image
  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
