listed!
Lonavala,
Maharashtra:
A
Pune district hill station of Maharashtra brings one an immense calm and chills
by its eye-soothing and pleasing scenic beauty. Lonavala, derives from a
combination of word Len meaning something carved out
of stones and avail meaning a series implying
Lonavala being a place being craved out of series of stone. Land to Pune grab
your bags and catch a cab up to Lonavala at about 636kms. Lonavala being rich
in nature provides tourist with various attractions. Karla caves deliver an
eminent view to its visitors including the Bhushi Dam, Khandala about 3kms from
Lonavala and various forts which enhance India’s royalty. Being at Lonavala
means to forget your soul and experience some incredibly happy times with
nature and food. :P
A
wide variety of Maharashtrian food is served at the outlets and joints in
Lonavala. Lonavala is a place famous for chocolate fudge and chikki... and I
always try to satisfy my desire for them, ordering one whenever my brother
visits Pune. :D
Ganderbal, Jammu and Kashmir:
A
district of Jammu and Kashmir famous for its adventurous tracks the tourists
get attracted to. A chilling breeze covers the land up into its arm letting one
experience the most happening. The redirected winds from Sindh turn up the
atmosphere. A varied phase of climate can be seen in Kashmir every hundred
feet, elevated. The Sindh Valley (Ganderbal) offers tourist a perfect
picturesque. Other location of immense scenic beauty includes the Sonamarg
(8kms from Ganderbal), offering a glamorous view of ice blocks across the peak.
The Manasbal Lake and the Gangabal add more beauty to the valley. The ‘lazeez’ Kashmiri
food brings senses to life. :D
Some
are the Rogan Josh, Rista, Kashmiri Haakh, Kong Phirni, Khubani ka halwa
serving as main-course and desserts.
Daman
and Diu, Daman and Diu:
Daman
and Diu prior to 1961 was a Portuguese enclave and portraying well the Portugal’s
customs and serving as a Portugal land within the Indian state. The land has
shed blood in the quest of being a part of India winning and losing battles and
life and thriving hard to gain success, yet embracing their hopes. The land
despite of being battleground is said to be an ‘isle of calm’ for
it’s been the most pacifying land among the Indian country. The pleasant
climate of Diu and Daman unveils the beauty it withheld and amazes tourist with
calms and chills of nature at beachside. Daman lies on the edges of Arabian
Sea. Beaches at Daman and Diu are an integral part of the place. The place
displays well the Portugal culture and the essence of royalty they held. The
ethereal land visit shall definitely include visiting Nagoa beach, Jallandhar
beach, Diu Fort, fortress of Panikota, the Shell Museum, Naida caves, Churches
and a many more tourist attractions throbbing tourists soul.
And
the explorers and the travellers, the state administration has planned for you
a 75 day fiesta! The month of December’s gonna be fun at Diu. Join at the
‘Festa De Diu’, the longest beach festival. Exclaim in joy, throw your hands up
in the air and groove on Indian beats! Experience the rich culture beginning
from December 1st up to February 2016! Get high on your nerves, gulp
like never before, bounce with music legends and enjoy!
The
food delicacies offered by the place is starving me out of hunger... :P
A
wide variety of Portuguese food serves best at the food joints in Diu. The
place has a touch of Gujarati culture as well. Gujarati cuisine has influenced
the state with Rotli and tea being regular meals. Rotla and saag serve as a
lunch delight and Chokha along with Curry and saag as a dinner delight. And
whilst being along seaside how can sea food be missed!
So
plan it up for Gujarat and cab up to Daman and Diu at about 550kms or Land at
Mumbai and drive up for about 170kms.
I am
seriously in love with this place. :D *_*
Veerampattinam, Puducherry (Pondicherry):
The
most admirable destination of your writer, Pondicherry that breathes blue shall
be experienced while visiting India and especially in November for this
destination brings the most amazing climatic experiences. The village of
Veerampattinam exhales aqua for being surrounded by beaches. The place has
witnessed colonial rules spreading from the Dutch to the French. The territory
has the marks of colonialism imprinted onto its culture and heritage. It
portrays the archaic vision well at the Arikamedu at about 2kms whilst
Veerampattinam being 8kms from Puducherry. The Veerampattinam beach offers an
unforgettable view from the isle. It holds an essence of spiritualism which’s
spread around the place. The place celebrates its god during a car festival in
which the deity is paraded into a temple car. This festival takes place in
August every year and to witness the same you shall visit it then! ‘Masi
Magam’ festivity also delights the natives wherein all the deities are gathered
in front of beach and the beach floods with people, spiritualistic.
The
state offers a wide variety of food ranging from sea food to sizzlers to
platters to non-vegetarian to veggies and lot more.
So
get ready to set voyage for Pondicherry from Tamil Nadu at about 1000kms via
the national waterways-4 or depart at Kaniyakumari and ride up to about 575kms
or fly up to 485kms!
