In the Land Where Vasco da Gama Landed

From the city of Kozhikode, Kappad Beach is around one hour drive. It's the place where Vasco da Gama landed in 1498. A beautiful clean beach it is. The sound of the waves keeps makes sweet music. The best time to visit it is obviously at the time of the sunset.  The beach has very little plastic pollution.  We arrived there on a rainy evening and so could witness the sun through the clouds only. 

If you are visiting Kerala don't miss the chance of visiting this serene beach.

Plastic Plastic all the way

Winter is the time for a picnic, especially in West Bengal. The winter season, which is not too harsh, calls for an outing with friends and family. Years ago, what picnic meant was carrying food in a basket and going up to a good scenic place and having a good time. Entertainment meant playing games, singing chatting merely and the like. But nowadays a picnic is totally different. Fo The serenity of places is always destroyed by loud yellings of songs ( if they can be called one). Sometimes this nuisance is up to the extent of spreading loud noise within the wildlife sanctuary. And next comes the plastic pollution. Every step you take, you can land up on bottles, wrappers, leftover food and foils. We always tend to complain about foreign destinations being clean and beautiful, but it's we the people who destroy our scenic property. If we keep on doing, nature will take its revenge. 

P.s. You can see the plastics in this crystal clear water.

International travel tips

Hi! This post is not about any particular place, but rather a guide for traveling beyond your country. While traveling on international flights, packing and organizing luggage is very important. Make sure your hand luggage doesn't have any food or beverages. Don't carry any extra medicine either. Avoid carrying homeopathic medicines and syrups. But make sure to carry your sanitary accessories in your hand bag. If you are traveling with aged people , make sure to arrange for assistance at the time of getting boarding pass. Carry an international plug so that you don't run out of charge in cellphone. 
Will be back with more tips and tricks of travel, stay tuned.
Bye 👋😘.

Jhargram Raj Palace.

Today's post is completely not about Jhargram Raj Palace and it's history. That is something you can find easily on Google. But this is all about some rare pictures of the Rajbari at night. On 24th December Jhargram tourism arranged for a dance programme and bonfire. Some ethnic dance forms of West Bengal was performed. And luckily we got the entry in parts of the palace where on other days, entry is restricted. 

Next Extended Weekend You Can go Hiking

 In the extended weekend of Christmas four of us decided to pay a visit to Jhargram.  On 24th December we went to visit Belpahari. It is just an hour drive from Jhargram town. It's a green patch of land with multiple hillocks and rivers, canals in it. But here I will only mention about the Garddasini Hills and not the entire area. Garddasini is a hillock in the Belpahari. If you want to explore your trekking ability you can start from here. It's about half a km or slightly more vertical trekking.  At the top, there is a small temple. But what attracts most is the scenic beauty of the place. The whole valley is visible from the top. You can take rest half way( where there is another small temple). Just don't carry any heavy belongings. Grab a camera and bottle of water and climb up. The entire visit may take you an hour or so. But it will be a really nice experience and will not cost you the exhaustion.  So go for a trip next weekend and go hiking. Happy climbing.
