Explore the unseen

This post is about 'explore the unseen' which i explored in last monsoon. Yes monsoon, the best time to enjoy the nature and its beautiful green surroundings everywhere. Many water falls, small lakes and ponds and this all i explored in our own Goa. The name of the waterfalls are unknown to me.

During monsoon​ the plan was to visit waterfall but as we missed the actual road we reached to unknown place we headed straight and stopped our bike and went walking inside along with the sound of water as i saw there was one beautiful and unnoticed waterfall though i don't remember the name of the place but the waterfall was quite good and away from city and crowded area.

 I saw two different waterfalls in one day which was quite unnoticed and many are​ unaware of such places. It's great advantage people are not aware of such places atleast the place will remain unnoticed and clean
The unseen places actually gives the best memories exploring such places was worth in monsoon.  There are many unseen places in goa which many people are unaware people must explore the Goa first which is worth exploring to see places like this.

Breakfast ride to Goa Marriott's

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I love to have healthy breakfast in the morning and it has to be quality time. I also think that it is the most important meal of the day. It is so much nicer to start a day early in the morning and spend some time with people you love (family) or newspaper or with a good magazine and music. 
Breakfast ride was at hotel Goa Marriott located at Miramar.

Great location with beautiful beach view this is the ideal place for breakfast early morning and to chill.
I wish to go there often the breakfast was worth.

Travel Diary to Manali

Life is a long road we travel. Well in my case the roads turned out to be thrilling one there was a mixed feeling excitement and fear on the road of manali during bus ride.The bus continued along its way taking sharp turns every other minute and I saw a beautiful yet scary face of nature which was welcoming me and at the same time challenging with narrow roads and deep valleys.

Manali 

Second day started with a soul full of energy as I made my way towards the Beas River. Sitting by the riverside and contemplating the mountains was the best feeling I ever had. The cold water kept flowing as if telling to never stop, but to move on. The sun rose from the mountains and the quote ‘Rise and Shine’ never felt that real earlier. I continued exploring Manali and went to Solang valley for paragliding. It’s amazing how we felt in childhood when birds could fly and we wondered if we had wings
Finally the evening embarked my visit to the beautiful Buddhist monasteries. The Gadhan Tekchoking Gompa is situated on Mall road. If you still were not connected to the nature, this is the place to find your soul.A tranquil place located amidst snow capped mountains with apple orchards and traditional houses made with mud and woods. Sloshing river adds more to the feeling of solace.

Amthane dam

Amthane dam one of beautiful place around goa that is quite and peaceful place away from city area. It is not most popular​ tourist destination in goa.  Distance would be 33kms from mapusa. And it is worth to get there.
 The beauty of this place is quite unaffected. Amthane dam is best place to relax away from city.
One can leave there house early morning and spend whole day at the Amthane valley and go home late Evening.

The sahyadri which are covered with lush green forest gives an absolute spectacular view fro Amthane dam. It is not yet developed for tourists but it is nice place to unwind. The dam itself is not very big but catchment area provides a very beautiful view.
The best time to visit this place is monsoon for the best and greenery view.

A day at the beach

One fine Sunday morning decided to go to paradise beach famous because of goan tourism.
Technically Paradise beach falls in state of Maharashtra for which you have to cross North goa border into Maharashtra. The driving distance from mapusa would be 35kms it takes 45 minutes to one hour to reach there.

Beach view

                                                                     
       
Once you get there it will most definitely be worth the time. Another advantage would be there is no shacks and restaurants nearby so it gives perfect opportunity to you to pack your own lunch and snacks drinks and head out to spend an entire lazy day at the beach.
You do have some old shops having some cold drinks, local snacks and coconut water.

Paradise beach is another silent and peaceful beach with sea of one side of it and evenly distributed sparse forest on the other side. It is one of the nice beach ,hardly any people  and occasionally localite trying to sell a horse ride on the beach.

Dodabetta highest peak ooty

I had planned a trip to Nilgiri ooty with my friends and family .
I had heard lot about this place from a very close friend of mine. And while planning a trip you must know from the person who has been to that place couple of times, so that you can get idea to plan. accordingly .So once i decided to bagpack and go to ooty. It was a trip with family.

The picture i clicked at the Dodabetta hill . This place is ideal for photography. Best time to visit Doddabetta Peak would be early morning for view of sunrise and  in the evening for the view of sunset. During day time it tends to be quite hot if there is no cloud cover. You can view the entire town from this peak.  Winter would be the best time to visit this place to feel the actual cold .

 Dodabetta highest peak view
 There is an observatory at the top of Doddabetta with two telescopes available for the public. 

The area surrounding Doddabetta is mostly forest area covered with the hollows of its slope thick grass, flowering shrubs and herbs.
