Murdeshwar, Karnataka

A trip to Western ghats in Karnataka Murdeshwar We have been discussing for a trip to western ghats since ages and finally we made it only in the month of Dec'18. As we have known and seen this beautiful Murdeshwar shiva statue in many movies which is located very close to the sea, decided to visit this temple. Murdeshwar, famous for the world's second tallest Shiva statue, is a town in Bhatkul taluk of Uttar Kannada district in the state of Karnataka. Murdeshwar is another name of the Hindu god Shiva. The origin of the name "Murdeshwar" dates to the time of the epic Ramayana Our journey starts: Most of us rely on google for everything, i am also not an exceptional:) so asusual checked for the best route to go to Murdeshwar from Bangalore and it suggested two routes 1.via Shimoga and another one via Davanagere to Murdeshwar.

TADA falls

It is located in Nellore district in Andhra Pradesh. It is about 95 kms from Chennai. It is an ideal place for the people who love adventure & trekking. We, a TEAM of 7 members took a car and started our first trip to TADA. Reached the base camp (where the vehicles are parked usually). You cannot go beyond that. Trekking starts from here and it comes around 10kms to and fro. .We started from here It was really a sunny day and we found difficult to climb. The ideal time to go there would be after rainy season i think in the months between November and February. After we walked about 200 meters we came across a small water stream. We had to cross this stream to move further. At last we reached the falls after an hour time. It was really a tough journey to walk in the hot sun. Please make sure you carry enough water bottles when you go there. You will feel more thirsty when you climb especially in the hot sun.

In the streets of Pondicherry

Streets in Pondicherry remembers us to think it was greatly influenced by French. The town is divided into two sections French quarter where you can see streets in the design based on Dutch grid pattern, also they still retain the street names in French. On the other hand houses in Indian quarter are typical Indian style with verandas and large doors. We really enjoyed walking along the road, admired by the architectural beauty of these houses. French style hotel A different look of Pizza hut Indian style houses street in pondicherry Beautiful hotel opposite to beach The important thing is that if anyone wishes to rebuild their house, they need to get approval from an organization named INTACH (who prevent these old architecture from destruction). Also the rebuilt house should resemble the same architecture it possessed before demolition.
