Report This7.Sri Lanka - Divine Exuberance
Submitted by:Rkrishnanp
January 14, 2008
âWhere do we go for our honeymoon?â This question had been troubling my fiancée and me ever since we got engaged. One thing was for sure we wanted to go abroad. Indonesia Mauritius Maldives and a host of other countries crossed our radar. Our main consideration was that we wanted lush green surrounding us wherever we went. We found a perfect match in the hill country of Sri Lanka which is endowed with a cool climate thriving forest and undulating hills covered with tea plantations.We arrived at Bandaranaike International Airport at Katunayake about 20 miles from central Colombo in the middle of the night. We wondered what adventure awaited us; how many bombs weâd have to dodge until we reached Grand Oriental in Colombo. Many dissuaded us from making this trip. The more they did so the more mystical it seemed to us.Having just 2 baggages we got through the formalities pretty quick and exchanged currency. We were greeted by our Lankan guide Fernando who drove us into the enchanting world of lost natural beauty. We kept to the room on our first day as the demanding marriage celebrations had taken a toll on our stamina. We looked forward to six power â packed days that was to be iced with enticing greenery.We left for Kandy which was three hours away. The heat lured us to the orange king coconuts that dotted the road. The sweet water was like elixir for our parched mouth. On the way we stopped at the Elephant Orphanage. An orphanage for elephants seemed quiet an exciting proposition. As we walked towards the huge water space we saw elephants basking in glory playing with mates; lost in their own world. Their playfulness reminded us of our childhood which seemed so distant. On our way back we entered a government handicraft shop. The furniture and artifacts on display were out of the world. So much so we instantly purchased an easy chair that caught our fancy the instant we set our eyes on it.Being a haven for spices how could we miss a trip

Report This8.KGudi Wilderness Camp in BR Hills
Submitted by:Koeyli
January 9, 2008
Virgin deciduous forests trekking trails through the jungle and cold crisp mountain air all add up to only one image in my mind - KGudi Wilderness Camp in BR Hills. Hardly 225 kilometers from Bangalore this haven is a retreat for those who love the feel of the forest and want to do nothing but explore rampant greenery and wildlife. The place owned by Jungle Lodges and Resorts boasts of almost 8 tents and 3 log-huts to house visitors. However if a vacation means five-star luxury and AC cottages to you this is definitely not where you want to go. Simple sufficient and scenic is how I would describe the place.âThe woods are lovely dark and deepâ¦.â Robert Frost could well have been describing the forests where the notorious Veerappan once held for. They are splashed with myriad shades of green. Beautiful birds with poetic names awake you in the morning. On a jeep safari you are likely to see herds of spotted deer samba barking deer elephants wild dogs and sloth bear. If you are immensely lucky you may just spot a lurking leopard too. Safari trips are conducted every morning at daybreak and every evening at about dusk. At night a campfire is lit and dinner is served under a thatched roof.Almost 20 kilometers into the deciduous forests lie a belt of evergreen trees forming a canopy so thick that you can barely feel the sun. Natural steps lead you down to a stream which you can cross to reach a tribal temple. The water is ice-cold and the trek is carved in my memory as one of âthe most scenic forest treks everâ.If you are looking for a weekend destination which rejuvenates you enough to face another week of work KGudi should definitely be on your cards. Believe me if you donât see even a single spotted deer it would still be worth it.

Report This10.IT Hub of India
Submitted by:Nikeshjn
January 7, 2008
Bangalore is truly the IT hub of India. Also known as garden city as you find a garden at every mile. Bangalore weather is just fabulous. neither it gets very hot here in summer not it gets very cold in winter. If you can cope up with the traffic and rising cost of living it's a great place to live and visit.
