The two vagabonds - Travelogue

Place - Coonoor Distance from bangalore - 300 Km Resort we stayed : http://www.bisoncountry.in/Home.html     Very nice place to stay, beautiful view from the rooms. Tariff is also very reasonable. Very nice food, but they only provide only breakfast and dinner. will recommend everyone for stay. Activities : Multiple indoor and outdoor games. Animals  - Jungle foul(teetar), duck, rabbits, hens. (Kids and enjoy) We were just back from our Europe trip and we had a long weekend. And we decided to go to coonoor this time. I said to amber that we have already been to ooty 3 times then why we are planning to go to coonoor because this is almost the same place and only 15 km far from Ooty. But who listen to their wife. :)                           Second challenge I had was to adjust the oncall. But after my long europe trip i dont want to ask for any oncall changes. I decided to work from there if there is any task. So even after having 1 oncall, we were good to go. DAY 1 :

Hogenakkal water fall Distance from bangalore : 120 Km activity : coracle boat ride. view amazing waterfall. Cost per boat : you can negotiate a lot. but we paid 800 both the time for whole boat. Otherwise you can buy ticket that will cost you 120 each person but that will carry 6 person in a boat.

You can find the local guide also if you want to go by yourself.   Booking agency :   http://bmcindia.org/ I find it really good and worth for money.

Activities :  Trekking, Rock climbing, cave exploring, repelling,  nature walk, Nature photography, Fun, relax. June 2011 : after the cancellation of Sikkim trip, I desperately wanted to go somewhere.  I was not sure where I wanted to go, but I was frustrated from inside and that could have been relieved only by another trip. Since I was not in mood to search and book everything, so I decided to outsource it. I kept hearing about bmcindia.org, I decided to take a chanc

I attended Munna bhaiya's marriage at Piro(4 hour drive from patna) on 5th May. I wrote some the blog during the marriage. I will take you directly there.  6th May :  It is 3 am of 6th may in morning, marriage is yet not started which is suppose to be on 5th May; and I am not sleepy at all. Because whatever is happening here is beyond my imagination, I could not believe this can happen in real life. The marriage is not started because the groom left the place because he was not treated properly, and we are sitting here without groom. I should not say this but I am really very very excited to see what will happen next. Its all filmy for me and I am felling that I am a side actor of it. around 3.30 AM we also came out of the house as we are also leaving to annoy bride side. But the most important thing i can observe is, the bride side is concern but they do not look sad. May be I am wrong.                           Bride's brother and some relative went to convince Munna Bhaiy

Place : Coorg Distance from bangalore : 250 Km Resort we stayed :  http://www.porcupinecastle.com                               Very nice, beautiful and well maintained resort. On the hill top. awesome view. Bit costly than the other resort but worth staying. Food is good.  rooms are nice view from room is also good. Activities : You can have tour of tea and coffee plantation. That is changed service.  You can go for a trek. The plan for Coorg trip was initiated by Ravneet, she was very excited about this outing because we never had any trip together. She told that she has some contact in Coorg and she can make booking for us. We all were fine with this plan but  because of one or another reason we postponed the trip 2 times. First week of april was a long weekend and we decided to go on this weekend. Per kismat mai kuch aur hi tha. The trip was almost finalized, and we came to know that because of some unavoidable reasons Ravneet and Manoj could not join us.  Amber was also

I traveled to Jaipur for a campus from Yahoo to MNIT Jaipur. This was my first campus trip and for Yahoo it was first trip to MNIT. I bet that i was more excited than any of MNIT student. But as usual I tried my best to hide that excitement(As much as I could). The respect from each student, get addressed as mam-mam, checking papers and inspecting lab assignment, taking interviews was very different and great feeling. Its lovely to see curiosity, excitement, fear, affection(for Yahoo!) in student eyes. As you all know that Jaipur also called as pink city.  After seeing this picture you will come to know 'why', because all the houses and shops are painted in pink color. After campus, next day we covered tourist places around the city, we covered Hawa mahal, city palace, Jantar mantar, Amber palace, Jaighar fort and chauki daani(Rajsthani village). The best about jaipur is their streets; Streets are wide, clean and most important no traffic. And street market is just awesome, I

Thailand : Thailand trip was a royal trip for me. Staying at Mariott, having lunch/dinner at extravagant hotels and enjoying like I am on top of world. Simply put, I loved Thailand.  We covered phi-phi islands, Maya Bay, Phuket beaches- Surin and  patong,  FantaSea show at Phuket and Grand Palace ,  Siam shopping mall at Bangkok. Everything was perfect - From hotel, food, locations, clothes, Amber's new sunglasses (:)), jewelry to lipstick. Phuket  is extremely beautiful; Sea water is clean and crystal clear. We reached on 22nd morning and extended our stay till 25th evening. Loved snorkeling, playing in water, relaxing under sun. This time snorkeling was different because unlike Andamaan, we were independent to snorkel, there was no restriction on place and time to snorkel. They gave us life jackets(because we didn't know swimming) and equipments. Initially, we were dismayed - how we will do snorkeling without a guide, the boat-man laughed loud and told we will be here in boa
