The two vagabonds - Travelogue

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.   

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. Salem City  Hotel <> 1500 per night Decent one, clean rooms, clean bathroom, free breakfast and all besic facility. Worth whatever they are costing Munnar  Resort : Igloo munnar resort link : http://www.igloomunnar.com/ Cottage : we booked 2 bedroom cottage. Can be maintained better.

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. Food is south indian and not much variety but I liked it. When I am on trek i do not care for food. :)  Facility Provided : Transport, lunch, evening snacks/tea, local guide. 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
