Deomalle- The highest point in eastern ghats


Most people wouldn’t be aware where on india this place is. Like me when i heard of the deomalle- the highest point in the eastern ghats even after living in the eastern coast of india for two decades. I decided to trek as soon as i heard of this place in koraput district of Orissa. Here you see what i have seen on that Sunday.
The road to deomalle
Deomalle

The valley view

The passing clouds


The hugging clouds


The evening sun

The beautiful peaks

The dancing road to top

The yellow flowers


Little forest

A fitting farewell


Thats the end of the trip. Thanks to christopher, Rengaraj, Ramamurthy sir for accompanying me to deomalle.

Bird watching in raichur

Image
  I recommend raichur for bird watching only if you are a serious bird watcher. For all other tourists there is very little in raichur and those interested in bird watching go ahead. I stayed there or two years during my stint at a public sector company and these winged visitors helped my stay with their morning and evening calls. You need not go farther than your bedroom, simply open your window and can watch them with delight. However for more serious birder, you need to venture out only 2-3 kms from your room(if you live nearby shaktinagar).I assure you on any given day you can spot more than 50 species of birds in less than 2 hours, and more han 100 in a day. These shots you can get any time of the day, any time in a year, anynumber of times. Some painted storks feed there young ones. These are permanent settlers here, unlike other bird sanctuaries where they are seasonal. This grey hornbill gave me pose right near my room. Earlier I visited dandeli wildlife sanctu

Sangatta to Balikpapan via Bontang and Samarinda - a journey through sky

Image
After a melancholic 60 days stay at Sangatta,Indonesia, I was sitting in  a twin otter  plane seated right behind the pilot and peeking  through  the glass  window, waiting for the plane to take off. Onward journey from balikpapan to sangatta was through land and also exciting one, but without knowing a bit of language at that time, I was just talking with eyes and expresions and actions. Hectic googling prior to my jouney two months ago about the place where i am going to live(sangatta) did not reveal any information. It is quite an unexplored place. So now sitting in the plane , i am going to see the island of borneo(now renamed as kalimantan) from top of the world with an iphone5S in my hands.   I started clicking things whatever i could see around. The pilot and co-pilot getting ready for starting the flight - The moments i was waiting for.   Just before take off i realised t he wings and fan blades are going to be a big hindrance for my photography obstructing part of th

Cycling in the Enchanting mahabaleshwar

Image
Why we choose cycling? To have a different experience   me and my friend decided to explore mahabaleshwar on foot. We stayed at the Maharashtra tourism development corporation guest house. On the first day we bought a map rom the local store and just discussed about the view points we can cover. From the map we inferred the nearest points are within a kilometre in range and started immiediately to the   Mumbai point-other name for sunset point .                                                   The road to Mumbai point. We reached in no time around 3:00 PM, spent some time there enjoying the sun waiting for it    to disappear when viewed from a hill. We lost patience at around 4:00 PM and realised our mistake. Because it is a sunset point , sun need not set whenever a tourist comes there and we are too early for that. So we sent on foot to our next view point – The lodwick point.                                                  On the way to lodwick point The road
