Where the waves never stop...

From Gokarna V2

Gokarna -- it is one of those places I've been to and would love to go again.

The waves, the relatively clean and quiet beaches, the sunset over the water, the beach, the sea life - it is quite the opposite of a typical Chennai beach! I've seen fishes of kinds (and jelly fishes too). I've seen beautiful stones and rocks - eroded by the sea and wind - leaving beautiful sculptures. I've had yummy food in those shacks where they let you hang around forever - yummy food facing the sea!

What more can I ask for? You could spend days walking around those beaches and find something new each day!

How to reach: Karwar is the nearest town. Any bus to Goa (from Hyderabad or Bangalore) should get you to Karwar. You could also get to Hubli and find your way to Karwar from there.

Red and Green

From Koraput Passenger

One of the best trips I ever did was the train ride to Koraput, Orissa. The land was greener than I expected it to be and the landscape was stunningly beautiful. This picture was taken from the train - somewhere between Koraput and Vishakapatnam.

The land was being prepared for the next crop - resulting in vastness of red. The lone tree stands in the the middle of the vastness that would soon turn green. The tiny dots of people at work early in the morning, the red and green, and the vastness - they all leave a memory not easily forgotten.

It was an amazing experience to see breath-taking beauty each time I looked out of that window.
