My Travel Tales

I visited many places, trekked many mountains, but still there are many dream treks that I'm planning to do in the coming years. I really love trekking in Himalayas and they are very addictive. Once you visit Himalayas, you just can't stop loving it. From soft to moderate, Challenging to strenuous, trekking in Indian Himalayas could be a life time experience.

Malvan is a place in Maharashtra, which is emerging as one of the best places to try scuba diving in India. Not many people know about this place and beautiful beaches present near this place. Two year back, marine biologist Mr Sarang Kulkarni discovered the massive coral reef around the Sindhudurg fort and Thereafter, he also took initiative to train local youth from fishermen community in conduct of diving and snorkeling expeditions. Near the outer walls of Sindhudurg fort one can see lots of live corals and colorful marine life under the sea.

Rameshwaram is considered as one of the holiest places in India and also part of Char dham Yatra. This is the place from where the Rama built a bridge, across the sea to Lanka to rescue Sita from her abductor Ravana.  Many people think that rameshwaram is just a holy place with temples and devotees, but don't about that there are many beautiful beaches and must visit places. In this post, you will get all the details on what to visit and how to visit all the places of interest in rameshwaram. 

I visited almost all the famous beaches in India and its time to rate the best beaches among them. More than half of the top 10 beaches lies on the western coast of India - Arabian sea. Even though Palolem ranks top on the list, I personally love Kovalam Beach. This list excludes beaches of Lakshadweep and Andaman Islands.

After reading so many blogs, interesting articles about dhanushkodi and ram sethu, I was really excited to visit this beautiful haunted place. Dhanushkodi is located at a distance of around 23 km from Rameshwaram, on the southern tip of India. This is the place where Bay of bengal meets Indian Ocean. Trip to Dhanushkodi will be a life time experience, the landscapes, off road driving, beaches, everything make this place as one of the must visit destinations in India.

This is my 50th post in MyTravelTales. This post gives you all the information required for a trip to Goa. I visited Goa 8 times, always goes to the same beach, same restaurants and stays in the same apartment, but I never get bored of Goa. There is some thing special about Goa. The beaches, food, leisure life style are the best things that I like in Goa.

This is my second post on yeleswaragutta, popularly known as Mysterious island. Two year back I visited this place in peak summer, but was unable to reach till top of the hill because of the dehydration and unavailability of water. This time we planed perfectly and strongly determined to reach till top at any cost. I recommend reading my previous post on mysterious island: http://www.mytraveltales.in/2012/05/trek-to-mysterious-island.html before reading this post.
