Before writing about my recent trek to Vellagavi, I would like to take your attention to something which I feel very important. Ever since I began to take travel blogging seriously, I was very much aware of the impact my posts have on the places I write about. I had gone through the dilemma

Guide to Kumara Parvatha trek
Since the Western ghats started to allure me like anything, I never said no to any chance to go and explore those mountains. I wanted to complete some few treks in the Western ghats before the end of 2017. Trekking Baba Budangiri hills, Kodachadri hills and Chokramudi hills were some of them. And finally, the Kumara Parvatha
Vilpatti, a lesser known village in Kodaikanal
Though I travel to Kodaikanal very often, I never prefered to stay in the same place twice. Every time I try to visit a new place. I visited Kookal once, a village far away from the city and fell instantly in love with the beauty of the village. From then onwards, whenever I go to Kodai,
Chokramudi peak trek in Munnar
As I started to explore more in the Western ghats nowadays, many new and interesting places are getting into my head daily. The trek to Chokramudi peak was on such that I read in a social media page for travellers very recently. As soon as I came to know about the place, my interest to
The Nilgiri road trip: To Ooty via Masinagudi
This time, I am going to share a road trip idea in the Nilgiri mountains. If you have a long weekend or some holidays, just take your ride and come to the most beautiful hill station of South India, Ooty. This part of Western Ghats is called the Nilgiris (Blue mountains). There are many places
A monsoon trek to Kodachadri peak
The monsoons were pouring down heavily in the southern states this time. The South West monsoon usually retreats by the end of September. I was looking forward to a trek in the rain before it ends. The monsoon in the Western Ghats is something I like the most, the rain is so refreshing and liberating.
Trekking the hills of Baba Budangiri
Chikmagalur is undoubtedly beautiful and a much less explored hill station in South India. Unlike many other commercialized hill stations in South India like Ooty or Kodaikanal, where it is very tiresome to find a place peaceful and without any buildings hindering our view; Chikmagalur is much better. This place is the major center of
Kurisadimeth: A place every nature lover must visit in Kodaikanal
When the surroundings where I exist most of the time starts to distract me, I gear up for a retreat. And that will be a journey to some unknown destinations. I often prefer going somewhere the air is fresh and cold. Kodaikanal is one such place where I go more frequently these days. Over the
Offbeat destinations in Western ghats: Nirmala city
This is my first post about Kerala, my native place. Kerala which is well known for its exclusive natural beauty is visited by travellers across the world. I always wanted to write about my place, but not unless I have something unique and new. So as the first post, I want to write about an offbeat
Kookal village, the best way to experience Kodaikanal
A friend of mine called on a Friday evening and told he will take me to a beautiful village if I come to Kodaikanal. I never say no to offers like this. Unplanned journeys like this usually turn out to be the most memorable for me. I travel frequently to Kodaikanal but didn't hear about
