Hey all One resides at Odisha, the "Konark Surya Temple" aka Sun Temple and the other at Haughty Mountains of Almora distt., in a small village known as "Katarmal Surya Temple" aka Katarmal Sun Temple.  The former "The Most Renowned", while the later "The Hidden Gem" of Kumaon region. Both are true masterpiece of art and structure. Also Read :  Kumaon "The Dev Bhoomi" ,one such amazing place Ranikhet!!! It was afternoon by now, Ranikhet darshan was done."Growl" .....ohhh my hungry stomach was calling for some food,but to my surprise Ranikhet main market does't offer any good restaurants. Luckily, we came across a small Dhaba near Ranikhet bus stand, where we filled our stomachs.  Now what??? After all, we hired the car for the entire day!!! It's only 3:00pm by now. I remembered about "Shitalakhet" and "Katarmal Surya Temple" (Thanks to Google uncle). Shitalakhet ...

Hey all GARDEN BY THE BAY Whooo Whooo Whooo!!! It’s simply enchanted, seemed I landed in Fantasy-land!!!  Presenting to you the stunning  “ Garden by the Bay ” . It's one of the most popular Tourist Attractions in Singapore.  Located at Marina Bay!! Entry to Garden can be made either by 'Marina Bay Sand' or from the 'Helix Bridge' towards the Art Science Museum.  The main attraction of the Garden is  "SUPERTREE GROVE WITH SKYWALK", "FLOWER DOME" AND "CLOUD FOREST".  The entry to the  Main Garden is Free Free Free!!!  My favorite will always be Skywalk(yayyy). We took a combo pack that included Flower Dome and Cloud Forest.   Skywalk ticket is separate. We reached around 4 pm and visited the Flower Dome first, followed by Cloud Forest; it took almost 3 hrs. The Free evening  "LIGHT AND SOUND SHOW"  is the high point of this awesome garden.  It's simply   TREAT TO THE EYES !!!  The best wa...

Hey all NOW THAT'S WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT ........."MOUNTAIN CHARM".  Dainkund Peak is so close to my heart, probably because it was my "First Taste of Trekking".........short but sweet :) Dainkund Peak trek starts from "Alha Village" ,  was  just 15 mins ride from our hotel "Satyam International".  It's a trekking (almost took 2 hrs from one side), leading to "Pohlani Mata Devi Temple" at the top of the peak ; as an old saying, in ancient days Mata(Goddess) protecting the entire valley from 'Witches'.  Dainkund Peak known to be "Highest Peak" in Dalhousie. It's best place to view the entire valley, if lucky one can view "Khajjiar" toooo from the peak ; though the day we visited it was quite a fogging day. Trekking started with quite a number of steps making our heart beats faster, but all our efforts paid off. As we were approaching the peak to ...

Hey all Once again I asked myself why Mountains??? Afterall I puke, I have motion sickness; still my heart pops out with joy.....when i say "Let's go to Mountains" !!!   There my heart replied......the ease the Mountains holds.....the crystal clear sky......the fluffy clouds......the pristine landscapes, what else you can ask for!! So there we goooooo KUMAON- THE DEV BHOOMI(Uttarakhand) !!! Our first destination was "Ranikhet-Queen of Meadows " !! We commenced to Ranikhet from Kathgodam. DAY 1 TRAVEL TALE- As I was preoccupied looking through my carrrrr window; a "TINKLE SOUND" knocked my ear again and again!!! It took me some time to figure out that the 'SOUND' was coming from the small bell hanged upside to the drivers seat, and that our driver(Rawat) " Rings the Bell"  every time a "Temple" passes by.  Out of curiosity I asked him, and he happily mentioned that being born in "Dev Bhoomi"...
