Joyful ride to Divar Island-Goaaa

Image
Hey all It's Divarrrrr Island!!! Fields at Divar Island Travelling in Monsoons, people usually not prefer. But for me it was the best decision I ever made. Goaaaaaa!!! Monsoons and Goa, a superrr deadly combination. Wild tides, green carpets, less crowd and superrrr perfect weather, what else I could wished for.  Somewhere the only urge was to enjoy the "Cruise ride over Mandovi river", as it remains close during monsoons. Now what to do??? hmmmm..... Divar Island!! Yes the best alternate for cruise ride is to alteast enjoy a ferry ride. A person like me, who never been on any cruise or ferry ride; even 10 mins on ferry was extremely joyful.  Ferry ride to to fro Divar Island On the way to old Goa, is the ferry pick up point for Divar Island. I landed the ferry with my scooter. And guess what, it was a freeee rideee, for M2 "Me and My Scooter".......hahaha, as in state Uttar Pradesh nothing is free(blink). For Goans, it

Hey all My "Travel Buddies" In today's world, when everything is so commercialized and artificial ; it's so hard to find a place with great existence.

Hey all Travelling down "SOUTH"....... huhhh??? I was never sure.......apparently the only reason; not a big fan of "South Indian Food".......... I know it's hilarious.......but a wicked truth.......hahahaha!!!  But finally "South" happened, this July.  "Devanshi" bestie, my soul sister started working in Mysore(Karnataka) .  So, from last October "Mysore" was very much on cards. Lucknow to Bengaluru, and then another 4 hrs and Mysore.  Approximately 2100 kms away from home, everything seemed different, fascinating and exciting to me. I was totally in "LOVE" with this new surroundings; be it the lovely weather, the rich greenery , the coconut trees, or the attire of locals(specially the gajra's). I was anxiously looking around like a happy kid. I was picked up by Devanshi from bus stand, and we commenced towards home. "Pinni",  the street dog, plumpy cute dog, welcomed me with waggin

To travel is to be free! And when those who are closest to you, join you for one such venture, it's the mo st beautiful journey ever. I am writing this on e as a guest, because the owner of this blog is the best sister in the world, and this particular journey gave me so many memories with her to cherish. The destination is Chikmagalur-Mullayangiri, the highest range in Karnataka... and when hills are calling, there is no second thoughts to it! My base is Mysore and we booked a small cab for 4 people. The cab companies usually charge by kilometers and for small cars, it is Rs.7 per kilometer (Driver charges and other charges excluded). Distance between Mysore and Chikmagalur is approximately 140 Km. Since it's a long distance and takes almost 4 hours to reach, we started from Mysore by 5.00 am in the morning. Karnataka is at its greenest best during the monsoon months and any hill you decide to visit during the months of June-July will surely give you a sight of what hea
