Beauiful arakku valley- queen of hills in Andhra Pradesh

Image
Padmarajapuram gardens – on the way to arakku valley I am always fascinated on seeing the beauty of flowers. One day in life i will have a garden at home, for now i love being nomadic. The colors in flowers appear good during vibrant moods. That is the reason all cultures associate flower to different feelings like giving rose for expressing love. In india , flowers are used by women to get flavour for their hair, for dedicating to god in temples, For decoration in marriages and festivals, and even during death ceremonies, during political rallies. Flowers have become so integral part of life even during golden days of sangam period, kapilar, a tamil poet sung about 99 different flowers. The serene arakku valley – rail route. Now in 2016 Indian government has released a glass coached train in this route. Love to travel. Borra caves- Indias largest cave Arakku falls The arraku valley tourism circuit is yet

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.

This post is just a photo blog for tiger lovers. The tiger population has increased in the last couple o years. If the same trend continues, We can see our national animal in forests. Till then zoos will satisy our vicarious feelings for seeing the big cats. These photos were taken by me at pilikula zoological park, mangalore. Good bye Panthera Tigris.

Mahabaleshwar - part II

Continuation of my previous post. The next day we decided to go site-seeing in taxi. The taxi rates area standard as you can see in the below picture. For family budget travelling comfortably it will be ideal to hire a taxi. We visited the needle hole point. As the name indicates you can guess.   Again a monkey snatched a guava fruit from me. Then we went to get the spectacular view of venna valley, river and the dam. It was a splendid view to see the river flowing in between the hills. Do you know that mahabaleshwar is famous for strawberry gardens. That was our next destination. We had delicious strawberries directly from the plant and satisfied our appetite. Then we went to venna lake and had a pleasant boat ride in the evening and ended our tour to mahabaleshwar.
