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

Chikmagalur - an offbeat hill station

Image
The trip was organised by our friend kishore. Me, christo, vivek, kishore and ravi set off on a sunday morning. There was a lot of hype among the locals about this place and the driver added vocal touch to the already hyped up imagination. Although we never expected it to be this awesome. This place is ideal for both family as well as with friends and is an ideal getaway for those who want to take a break from the hectic corporate life. Forests on the way Sometimes journey will be more beautiful than the destination. The route to chikmagalur was so beautiful, we could not do justice with our artificial lens. You will have to capture the scenery with the lens given by god. Enroute to chikmagalur[/caption] You cannot reach this place by bus. Although there are lot of buses to chikmagalur from both bangalore and mangalore, the hill station is situated in a remote place. Even the vehicle which you travel with cannot reach the top. There are plenty of jeep services which take yo
