Kobez-Pelhar-Bandstand :)



Reason to Smile: Its true when they say one needs to unwind oneself once in a while. When I look back to check if I have done that or no, I only feel so contented that its not only been once in a while but has remained consistent for the past 4 years now ! Cheers to the travel diaries / online blogs that I have been trying to maintain & share :)

To the loveliest places in town, my weekend couldn't get better. A lavish lunch at Kobez, then a long talkative drive to the serene and peaceful Pelhar Dam (now one of my favorite destinations around town) and then back to the crowded city for a nice evening at Bandstand. With Mayuri's new phone on the block, the selfies just wouldn't stop ;) I don't think I could have asked for more with people who not only have been around to 'roam around' but stood by me through good and very good days ;) :P Arghya, Samruddhi (the new brat in the group now), Mayuri - Thanks for making up for the weekend :) Bhavik - We missed you. Wish you could join :)

The best part about any outing I feel is the company you go with. While it is sometimes difficult to gel with crazy people, it is equally easy to connect to those who are well in acceptance of anyone. Samruddhi is one such female I came across who has no qualms or issues in acceptance. She comes across as a person free from pre-conceived notions and judgments. She carries an attitude full of help and compassion if the need arises. Am glad I found a new friend in her. Thanks Mayuri for adding her in the group :)

Till my next post,  Keep Smiling with your loved ones :)

Offbeat Goa :)

Reason to Smile : The joblessness no matter how critical it may seem doesn't affect my travel life. There is nothing more that I can love about that. This time I got another chance to visit Goa. I was fortunate enough to explore those parts of Goa that I had not visited. I was there for a week and let me try and list them for my memories. Netravali Wildlife Sanctuary  is located in South Eastern  Goa.   It constitutes one of the vital corridors of the  Western Ghats  and covers an area of 211.05 km.  Netravali or Neturli is an important tributary of  River Zuari , which originates in the sanctuary. Forests mostly consist of moist deciduous vegetation interspersed with evergreen and semi-evergreen habitat. It is adjacent to  Dandeli-Anshi Tiger Reserve , Karnataka on the eastern side,  Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary , Goa on the southern side and  Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park  on the northern sid...

Honnavar :)

Image
Reason to Smile: The lush green views, the rice and wheat plantations, the foggy mountains, the wet silver curvy roads and we 3 girls on a road trip. It all begins with this thought and check where we land up :) Honnavar - One small city in Karnataka, very close to Kumta, Gokarna, Murudeshwara Temple and many more such popular places. We headed straight to Madhu's native where her uncle lived. Her Mamaji, as we all affectionately called him, greeted us and was very strict about maintaining the schedule of our trip, for he was our official guide to take us to umpteen places around for sight seeing. Honnavar is a place not many people know about. We succumbed to a feeling that it was a good monsoon time to explore something unusual, less popular, and less commercial :) Day 1: So our first stop was a drive to Mirjan Fort. A huge fort located towards the South of Gokarna, about 30 kms from Honnavar is a fort that attracts visitors with its majestic looks.  As one enters the fo...

Kugaon Fort + Palasdeo Temple :)

Image
Reason to Smile: The movie made its roar in the Marathi film industry with all new faces as very sensitive and challenging characters as their debut. I have only heard about the movie and its feel shot at the backdrop of scenic adventure beautified by Kugav Fort near Solapur. I had seen them too in some of their promos on TV. While it looked exuberantly vibrant and beautiful, it was time to see whether it gives the same impact in real lights too ;) So without a doubt, there are number of nature lovers like me who had the same thought running on their minds. Ironically the place becomes just more popular only because its got highlighted in some movie. Or else Kugaon Fort was always there - just that it got visible to the public eye after 56 years of its existence !! Because all this while it was submerged under the crystal clear waters of River Bhima of Kugaon Village. It has significantly no traces of its charm on the web. So, it was surely not google this time to locate the place....
