Digressing from Mainstream Topic




Thought to myself let me take a break from all the serious issues and post about my
travelogue, "The Places I've visited Till now and want to visit in the near future"



Heading north


1.Kulu and manali
"Heaven on earth",must see place is kempty Falls on the way ,accommodation cost for a medium sized hotel:Approx 1500 per day for family,places nearby "Rohtang Pass" just before ladakh,



2.Delhi



The National Capital,parliament,rashtrapati bhavan,Qutub Minar ,Jantar mantar,not mention the famous "paratha wala Galli" from Delhi 6 and CC2C


3.Shimla

The best time to visit shimla is in summer during april-may season,really affordable accommodation, authentic HP crafts wear for shopping.







Heading South

4. Madurai

Blazing hot during summers , but relatively cool if you may call it, city of temples
,shop for authentic silk sarees and dhotis ,very affordable prices , make sure you carry a jug of water if making a visit.







5. Rameshwaram

The iconic , historical place of rameshwaram , a special mention in "Mahabharatha", very close to sri lanka, getting there: either by road or rail , but rail offers a spectacular view of bay of bengal as it approaches Panbam bridge, truly a must watch, its temple in the Guiness world record for having longest corridor


6. Kanyakumari
The southern tip of India where all the water bodies surrounding india meet,
the place where Swami Vivekananda sought inspiration and meditated and hence a rock memorial, the sandy beach and the sunset and sunrise is a must watch, the nondu or tender coconut drink is a must have too.



Again North

7.Kurukshetra

In the state of haryana , approx 1hr from Karnal, place where kalpana chawla
was born and made it to NASA , also the place where the war between pandavas and kshatriyas took place.




8. Chandigarh
The most well planned and neat city ive seen in india, has a cricket ground, famous for its rock garden ,shopping malls, rickshaw pullers,... come to think of it , each layout is organised into sectors and ull never get lost in the crowd, very hard to find south cuisine , also daabas found everywhere
accommodation slightly expensive. But worth a visit.



9. Manikaran

On the way to rohtang pass, just stop by to visit manikaran and its natural hot springs, even can have a bath in it to relieve all stress and body pain, a cost effective natural cure for your body as water is high on sulphur content.





10. Haridwar and Rishikesh

The sacred river ganga flows through this place.. must visit for all hindus.For more info click here

1. Goa

3. Kolkata
4. Darjeeling
5. Tuticorin
