Perfect weekend getaway for a quick trek or to enjoy the refreshing nature. I am sure this blog will be a comprehensive guide for all the places in and around Sakleshpur. I have covered almost all the important 20+ places with beautiful photos of them. Read and share with friends and share your comments below. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It is better to visit right after the rains i.e. September to February. June/July/August are rainy months. March to May are summer months. Just turn any side to see the green hills covered with clouds. Don't feel sad if you could not visit Switzerland in lifetime, just visit Sakleshpur or Chikmagalur once and feel the wind, enjoy the fine shower, look around for the green pastures elsewhere, just trek on those grass-hills, listen to the wind, watch the clouds touch you and pass by... Words cannot justify, you need to visit to feel it. </span></p><p><b><u><span style="font-size: medium;">A word of caution:</span></u></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Please be aware that, sudden fog or passing clouds will reduce your visibility levels if incase you are trekking on hills. Make sure to go in groups and remember the path you go so that you can come back. Also remember you are in their territory and wild animals might be around. Ask locals first about the place and then start trek. Carry <b>salt for leeches</b>, water, snacks and a stick for your help and support while trekking. Please don't litter and it is our responsibility. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Most importantly </b>- Some trekking spots need pass, so apply and book online before you visit.

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: medium;">As usual, some interesting facts first ..... </span></b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Thiruvarur Temple chariot is Asia's largest with 300 tonne weight and 96 ft high, completely made of wood. Annual chariot festival happens during the month of April - May (Tamil month Chithirai). <a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2019/01/chennai-and-nearby-places.html" target="_blank">Look at my Chennai Blog</a>, where you can see the picture of Large and Huge Stone chariot - inspired by the design of this Wooden chariot. Everywhere in Shiva temple, Nandi will be sitting but here Nandi is in standing position. Navagraha in all temples will be placed not facing each other and in each direction, but here all standing together in a line facing the Lord Thiyagarajar. The Theppam (float) here is 50 feet by 50 feet with 30 feet high and 800 people can sit inside it. This is very unique and very large in the world. Google search for "Thiruvarur Theppam" to see this float festival. This temple has the maximum number of shrines in India. </span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Saranatha Perumal temple listed below, has a shrine dedicated to Goddess Cauvery which is unique and is also one of 108 Divya Desams. Built around the 8th century, the main god Saranatha Perumal is about 12 feet tall.</span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Kal Garuda (Stone Garuda) at Nachiar Koil is very unique in the whole of the world. During the festival time, they carry Garuda from the main sanctum to outside through various gates, the weight keep increasing. So initially 4 people carry, after some point 8 need to carry the same, again after crossing another gate it needs to be carried by 16, 32, 64 and finally 128. And again when they carry it back to the main sanctum, it goes reverse. Google search in Youtube for "Kal Garudan" to see this. Even sweat is observed on Kal Garuda during the procession.</span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Nachiar Koil temple is built around 3rd century, in the main sanctum, you could see 5 deities in standing position attending the wedding. Lord Brahma, Pradyumna, Anirudha, Sankarshana, Vishnu with Sridevi, Bhudevi are seen in main sanctum which is very unique.</span></b></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b><span style="font-size: medium;">The Mannargudi Rajagopuram is 154 feet high. The main deity is 13 feet tall. Built around the 1st century, Also from the top of the tower, you could see Srirangam temple on a clear day. The temple tank is the largest in India. There are 16 towers in total in this temple. </span></b></li>

<b><span style="font-size: medium;">It was around the Christmas holidays time and as usual, we decided to continue our visit to Kumbakonam temples.

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">2. Thiruvarur Thyagaraja Temple</span></u></b></h3>
<div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b></div>
<b>30 Acres of temple complex with 9 towers and 12 festivals throughout the year. During Kulothunga Chola period in 11th century, they had around 56 festivals in this temple. After you worship the face of Lord Shiva here in the form of Thyagesa you need to visit <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/hdr1Fjnrnh7MHinWA" target="_blank">Vilamal village</a><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/hdr1Fjnrnh7MHinWA" target="_blank"> (click this Google map link) </a>which is 3 Kms from here to worship his feet.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Another thing is that, the Nandi is in standing position unlike in any other temple, where Nandi will be in sitting posture. The chariot festival and the Theppam (float) are the famous festivals that attracts lakhs of people. This happens during the month of Chithirai or between March and April. The huge wooden chariot weighs 300 tonne and 96 feet height. Also the Theppam can carry around 800 people at a time. The stone chariot you see in <a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2019/01/chennai-and-nearby-places.html" target="_blank">Valluvar Kottam chennai </a>is based on this chariot design. <a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2019/01/chennai-and-nearby-places.html" target="_blank">Visit my Chennai blog to see the photo of the stone chariot</a>.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There is a huge temple tank and in middle there are Yogambal and Naganathar temple. You need to take boat to visit. Boat service is available only in evening I heard.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>To see the entire temple with all details, you need the at least 3 to 4 hours. Once you enter the temple from the main tower, on left side you will see multiple stone pillars. They seem to be the Sun dial to see, follow the stars.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There are around 86 Vinayaka idols, Dakshinamoorthy, Hayagriswarar, Saraswathi, Murugan, Anjaneya, Kamalambal, Navagrahas in single line, ......etc...etc. Close to 100 shrines inside this temple and hence the unique temple in India with so many shrines. </b><br />

<div>
<u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></div>
<b>This is very ancient temple built around Chola period in 10th century. When there was a severe drought in this area, Sambandar and Thirunavukarasar visited this temple and worshipped Lord Shiva to save people. Lord Shiva offered daily-allowance coins ("Padi-Kaasu" in tamil) daily to both of them. Using these gold coins they offered food to needy people. Even now, the math where they offered food is located in Vadakku Therodum Veedhi or North car street.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>This is also the temple where Lord Vishnu worshiped Shiva with 1000 Lotus flowers. When he was short of 1 flower, he offered his own eye to Lord Shiva as a flower. The eye offered is seen at the feet of Shiva here. The main sanctum Vimana is brought from heaven by Lord Vishnu.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Another interesting thing is that, there is a parrot that worships the lord daily using a hole in the wall. See below the picture. There is a Paathala Nandi (Paathala means underground), see below the pictures.</b><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">5. Srinivasa Perumal Temple (or) Kal Garudan Temple Nachiyar Koil</span></u></b></h3>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>More than the main Srinivasa Perumal, Kal Garuda is very famous in this temple. Kal means stone in Tamil. Generally wooden or metal idols are used for procession, but here Kal Garuda is made of Saligrama stone(???) and they use for procession. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>During the festival time, they carry Garuda from the shrine via all the gates for the procession. First they need just 4 people to carry, once they come out of the main sanctum, you need 8 people to carry as the weight increased. Then later when you come out from the next gate from temple, you need 16, 32, 64 and 128 to carry. The weight keep increasing as they carry it outside. Also one can see the sweat on Garuda's face as well. And same happens reverse as they carry Garuda inside the temple. This temple believed to be built around 3rd century. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Another interesting thing is that you get to worship Lord Brahma, Pradyumna, Anirudha, Sankarshana, and Purushothama. All in main sanctum. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Again this is also one of the 108 Divya Desams. </b><br />

<div>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">The main deity is Lord Veda Narayanar with Sridevi and Bhudevi. The temple gained </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">popularity after they found Panchaloga idol of Kalinga Narthana Perumal in Temple Tank. It is also believed that sage Naradha witnessed this Kalinga Narthanam here and prayed to Lord Krishna to remain here in this village. </span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>You may need to notice this special thing carefully. It is so intricately sculpted that one can insert a thin piece of paper between the Lord's left leg and the head of the serpent. According to the temple Bhattachaarya, the beauty is that the weight of the Lord's body rests on the left hand that holds the serpent's tail. One can also see the scars on the right leg of Lord Krishna formed due to the violent beating from Kaalinga's tail.</b><br />

Year not known, but believed to be built around 15th century. There is also the famous Karupanna Swamy temple and ancient Ilanda Tree ("Indian Jujube"). </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the very famous temple in the region "Prasanna Venkachalapathi Temple". This temple is also called "South Tirupathi" (Then Tirupathi). Whoever not able to visit Tirupathi due to any reasons, can visit this temple and worship the lord. It is believed that they get all blessings from Lord. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">There are beautiful sculptures of Ten Avatar of Lord Vishnu carved on pillars which is really beautiful. There is also a Musical Pillar (or) Sapthaswaram Pillar which produces the svaras SA RI GA MA PA DA NI SA. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are too many monkeys around, so you need to be extra careful. Once you park your car, they come and sit on top the car looking for something to eat. If you need to carry any Pooja items, carry them in backpack. Just carry a stick with you, they don't come near. You don't need to scare them, carrying a stick is good enough. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At Govindaraja Perumal Temple, Lord Ranganatha swamy on sleeping pose is seen. After visiting this, go inside the Arch. There are small temples on both the road sides for Ramanuja Acharya, Garudazhvar, Panchamuga Anjaneya. Panchamuga Anjaneya statue is relatively very huge in size. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">There are two other hill temples in this area which are close by. I have covered them all in separate blogs. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Interesting facts first: Vrindavan is the city of temples with <a href="https://iskconvrindavan.com/places/vrindavan-highlights/" target="_blank">5000 temples</a> for Lord Krishna and Radha. The underground prison where Lord Krishna is born is now a temple. The fire in temple kitchen at Sri Radha Raman temple started 435 years ago i.e. 15th century and still not put off. This is one place where Monkeys will steal your spectacles, purses or cameras for 100% sure to get food from you in exchange. Please don't try wearing it anywhere in this place, and I was the victim as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Before I start, I am sure when you read about Mathura and Vrindavan you will definitely like to hear about these discourses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">You all must visit this Youtube channel and video series - "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6cShiC9HK8" target="_blank"><b>108 Divyadesam Introduction by Swamy Velukudi Krishnan</b></a>".(Dwaraka), same on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgfquORLAo8&t=101s" target="_blank">Gokulam</a>. His discourses are so informative, detailed and divine. Though these are in Tamil language, don't worry visit this for all his English discourses.<b> <a href="https://velukkudidiscourses.com/#english">https://velukkudidiscourses.com/#english</a></b></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Again, this Youtube channel is also a must visit - "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0KjOLhZ4WU" target="_blank"><b>108 Divya Desams by Swamy Dushyanth Sridhar</b></a>" . Again <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL-WEWu1kx79Cc9CLMSBM3w" target="_blank"><b>visit his channel </b></a>for lots and lots of discourses in multiple languages including Tamil, Kannada, English. They are so divine and so informative, you will be lost in it.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Brindavanam, Vrindavan and Brindavan are different names. The word Vrinda means sacred Tulsi (basil) plant. Vana means forest. This is the place where Lord Krishna spent most of his childhood days. Demon King Kamsa prisoned his sister Devaki after he come to know one of Devaki's son would kill him. The prison is now the Keshava Deva temple. After Krishna is born, his father Vasudeva secretly carried him across the Yamuna river and exchanged him.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is one of the most visited place in India along with Mathura. The day when Lord Krishna is born is celebrated as Janmashtami. This place will be heavily crowded those festival days. Also the Bramotsava festival is very famous at Ranganatha swamy temple here and attracts heavy crowd.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Planning Tips</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b><span style="font-size: large;">
There are multiple temples in and around Mathura, Vrindavan and Govardhan. You might need minimum of 3 to 3 days to see all the places listed here. Hire a battery auto or a local taxi to see all the places. Multiple places they might demand money for some Pooja, laying some stone inscription with your name ..etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We got to see only very few places in Mathura and Vrindavan. We have not got a chance to visit all the places listed here. Will update this blog again, once we visit these. </span><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Stay options</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b><span style="font-size: large;">
There are plenty of hotels in both Vrindavan and Mathura. You can stay in either place and use a local taxi to visit the temples. Use review sites to choose the best one that suits your budget. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As usual, some interesting facts first. Do you know..... More than 1 crore people gather at Haridwar during Kumbh Mela which is one of the World's largest gathering? (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumbh_Mela" target="_blank">Refer this site</a>), Har-Ki-Pauri ghat was constructed during 1st century by King Vikramaditya?, Manasa Devi statue was established in 8th century by Adi Sankaracharya swamy, Rishikesh is a Pure Vegetarian City in India?, Rishikesh is the Yoga capital of the world? .... Read on for more details and interesting pictures.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hari-Dwar - Gateway to Hari (or) Hardwar - Gateway to Lord Shiva, one of the major pilgrim center of Hindus. People who seek Mukthi visit and take a dip in Ganga river. Almost everyone come here at least once in their lifetime. It is believed that the water is so pure here than other places where Ganga flows. Many collects the holy water in bottles and carry home for sacred rituals.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Haridwar is an entry point to one of the four main pilgrimage. The four places are (Char-Dham) are - Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. Haridwar is also a center of attraction for learning various arts, science, culture. IIT Roorkee, The Great Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev's ashram is here, many Gurukuls are also here. Patanjali Yogpeeth is a Yoga institution and research center.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a very famous Har-Ki-Pauri ("Footprint of Shiva/Vishnu") ghat where, Ganga Aarti is performed everyday evening at dusk. Large crowd gathers here to see this Aarti. It is so divine to be here and witness this fantastic event. It is a lifetime memory for us. Remember Hara is Shiva and Hari is Vishnu. This place is called Hardwar and also Haridwar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Stay options at Haridwar</span></u></b><br />

This is again a very holy place, which is visited by everyone coming to Rishikesh. Views from here are fantastic. This is assumed to be the place where the Lord Shiva consumed the poison came out of churning the sea. There is a natural spring where all devotees take a dip before worshiping the lord.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Planning Tips</span></u></b><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">To see all the places listed in this blog, both in Haridwar and Rishikesh, you need minimum of 3 nights and 4 days. But many prefer to stay longer to relax, meditate, learn Yoga, participate in Aarthis daily, Volunteer at Ashrams, take a dip in Ganga daily.....etc. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Dehradun Airport is very close to both these places i.e. less than 25Kms, but if in case you don't get tickets you can hire a taxi from Delhi and reach here. It takes about 5.5 hours and 225 Kms. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Please don't get carried over by the local priests or pujari for performing Aarthi or for any special rituals at river Ganga. They demand very high money. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Be careful with your belongings in the crowd. Hold your kids tight and take care of them. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Be careful with street food. Anytime when you are sick and in need of medicines, Try the Google search for medical shops and I am sure it will lead you to the right shop for medicines. Hotel staff also will be able to help/guide.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">For the good fresh food, try the canteen inside any Ashram premises. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">To visit Manasa Devi temple and Chandi Devi Temple by Cable car please visit </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.udankhatola.com/">https://www.udankhatola.com/</a> and book the ticket in advance. Choose the transport option as well to go from Mansa Devi temple to Chandi Devi temple and vice versa. This is very convenient. Remember one can also walk uphill to the temple. Please carry the printed online tickets when you visit. View from both these hills are awesome. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">You may need to hire a taxi to visit Neelkant Mahadev Temple in Rishikesh. Plan to visit early in morning to avoid crowd. If you want to take a dip in the natural spring, carry additional dresses. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">All these temples are open full day. </span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>About our Trip</u></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We stayed in Haridwar for 2 nights, 3 days which was not enough to see every place listed here. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 1: We reached Hariwar at 11:30 AM by Taxi from Delhi. We checked into Hotel, had lunch and got ready for Manasa Devi and Chandi Devi temple visit. We reached Manasa devi temple cable car starting point at 2:00PM. We already had the online booking which was useful. Cable car was great. After the Manasa Devi temple visit we came down and used the transport option to go to Chandi Devi Temple. Cable car again to go up. Once you come down by cable car, you can catch the transport option back to Manasa devi temple and walk to your hotel. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">After these hill temple visits, we headed towards Har-Ki-Pauri for the evening Ganga Aarti. Hotel staff took us near the Aarti area. It was wonderful. On the way you will see too many shops selling variety of items including handicrafts...etc etc. Photos below.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 2: We got up early in morning and took a dip in Ganga. It was pretty cold, but a great experience. :-) Water was clear and good. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">After the breakfast, we headed to Neelkanth Mahadev Temple. It was almost 12:30 when we started to come down. We reached Rishikesh. Took a battery car from Lakshman Jhula to Parmarth Ashram. Had lunch at the Ashram canteen which was pretty good. We visited the Ashram, Gita Bhavan. From there to Swarg Ashram, Gita Press book shop. On the way Ram Jhula. Finally we headed back to Haridwar to the Aarti Point on other side of Har-Ki-Pauri. Had a nice darshan of Aarti and took good rest. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 3: We headed back to Delhi for the flight, as there were no availability for us to come back directly from Dehradun. We visited Sarojini Nagar market for shopping and headed to airport. </span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Planning tips</span></u></b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">You need at least two full days to see all the places listed in this blog. Plan accordingly. We have used the local taxi from hotel to visit all these places. There are other options as well, see below. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">You can use HoHo Volvo A/C bus service to see all the places. Visit <a href="http://hohodelhi.com/">http://hohodelhi.com/</a> for all details. You need to start from one of the pickup point, pay for one day or two day options. Every monument or place of interest has a bus stop, where this bus will stop. Every 40 minutes the bus comes and stop at this place and you can board / get down. Take your own time to visit the places and hop on again. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">You must visit Akshardham for sure, that too plan towards evening or afternoon and stay till the water show by 7:00PM. <a href="https://akshardham.com/explore/water-show/" target="_blank">Visit this link for more details</a>. So plan to spend the evening here. Minimum of 4 to 5 hours expected. You may need to keep all your belongings in a cloak room. Mobile, camera...etc not allowed. <a href="https://akshardham.com/download/visitor-guide/" target="_blank">See their website for more details</a>. Watershow is something very unique here. Multi-color lasers, video projections, underwater flames, water jets and surround sound in symphony with lights and live actors make this really very exciting. There are so intricate carvings, ornate pillars, multi-layered intricate ceilings.... Oh My God..... Am I living in 3rd century ? ...... Really superb. All made of Marble, Sandstone and Granite. <b><u>DON'T MISS THIS PLACE !!!</u></b></span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">You must also visit ISKCON temple to get blessings of Lord Radha Krishna and the world's largest sacred book - 800 Kg measuring 2.8 meter by 2 meter. They turn one page a day. The page is so huge and you must see it. This has received World Book of records. Apart from this, you also get to see Bhagawat Gita animatronics, Ramayana, Mahabharat, Bhagavatam puranam exhibits which is special. </span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">There is a map below under India Gate section, that shows you all the places in map. Check that without fail. Zoom to see it clear.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>About our trip</u></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We planned a 5 nights - 6 day tour that covers Delhi, Agra, Mathura + Vrindavan on the way to Agra, Haridwar and Rishikesh during October. Yes, it was so tight and very hectic. We realized late that we needed one additional day. Please read my other blogs on Mathura, Vrindavan, Agra, Haridwar and Rishikesh. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Day 1:</b> We reached Delhi at round 10:45AM. We checked in and had a Chai (Tea). Took the help of Hotel for the local sightseeing taxi. After a small break, started our tour with the Lunch. After Lunch, we thought we shall visit Redfort and reached there. But after looking at the big queue, we took a decision to leave. Took few selfie from outside. :-) Saw Raj ghat from outside, again due to the crowd being Gandhi Jayanthi day. Then we headed to ISKCON spent around 2 hours here. Last we reached Akshardham at around 4.30PM. Yes we were late, we advise you to plan the whole noon till late evening here. That day we saw a crowd of close to 20000 people in the temple and close to 1000 cars in parking lot? OMG !! But still temple staff managed the crowd very well. Really appreciate it. Had snacks and dinner there itself inside the temple complex and came out, headed back to hotel. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Day 2: </b>As usual, we got up early and headed towards Vrindavan, Mathura and Agra at last. Yamuna expressway was really cool. We had breakfast on the way. First we visited Vrindavan, next Mathura and then Agra last. At Agra, you have very few options for vegetarians I guess. You need to get used to these North special food items like Batura, Puri. Very few uses wheat, rest uses Maida. You need to walk a lot. We did 10.5 Kms this day overall. Take sunglasses to walk around Taj. View of Taj Mahal from Agra Fort is really cool and you can plan. Due to less time and tiredness we skipped Agra Fort. Visit my exclusive blog with photos for these. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Day 3</b>: Yes, we still did not see the local Delhi. Started with Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in early morning(20 mins). Then headed towards Rashtrapati Bhavan (no entry inside). If you want to visit the museum inside Rashtrapati Bhavan then visit this site and book your tickets in advance. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://rashtrapatisachivalaya.gov.in/rbtour/">http://rashtrapatisachivalaya.gov.in/rbtour/</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After that, we headed towards India Gate (20 mins), Qutb Minar complex(1 hour), Lotus temple(could not go inside due to heavy crowd). We were so hungry by then and it was so hot as well. We went to the Bikanerwala (pure veg option) at Rajiv Gandhi Handicraft Bhavan, Connaught place. You get to see handicraft shops here from all over the Indian states. The food was good but the service was bad though. After this, we headed towards Chandni Chowk. Locals suggested us to take Metro which will take you to the center of the market. Yes Metro was awesome, clean and nice, so cheap as well. But unfortunately the market is too narrow and heavily crowded. We could not buy anything. We tried the famous Parathas from Parathe Wale. But again these Parathas are made of Maida and not wheat (:- </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Day 4, 5 and 6:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Headed towards Haridwar by early morning, with the help of taxi again from Hotel. Checked out and started towards Haridwar via Upper Ganga Canal road. Please read my exclusive blogs that has photos and details of these. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We got some time on the way back from Haridwar and spent it on Sarojini Market shopping at Delhi. Children watches, sun glasses(not a real one though), Sandals, Trousers, ladies dress materials are cheaper. </span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Stay options</span></u></b></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Being the capital of India, you have plenty of options, but you need to choose the place which is close to the sightseeing places. If you are driving, then you need parking space in the hotel. Connaught place is one option, but be aware that there are bar, pubs might be there in the same complex as well. For families you may consider accordingly. You can also choose Paharganj which is relatively affordable and close to all places. But few roads are too narrow here. We stayed in Hotel Godwin Deluxe which was good. They helped in arranging the taxi for local sightseeing and outside i.e. Agra, Haridwar as well. Check reviews and choose as you like. I would recommend to choose the taxi from hotel you stay, unless you have reputed contacts for taxi. </span></div>

<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">Do you know there are multiple temples in Bangalore that are 1000 to 2000 years old? Do you know that there was once a tunnel of 47 Kms length from Kalabhairaveshwara cave in Anandhagiri to Nandi hills ? There is a cave temple which is 2000 years old. .... Read on for more details.....</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Many of us in Bangalore may not really know there were lots of Chola Temples that are 1500+ years old, yes multiples of them with Tamil and Old Kannada inscriptions. I have highlighted the historical temples separately. Most of them were built during Chola period. </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">When I started to compile this list of all important and specialty temples in Bangalore, I was bit shocked to know, we lost many things due to urbanization. Those days any temple would have a big Temple Tank, big old sacred tree called "Sthala Virutcham", big temple tower and big compound wall. I don't see any of them here and I would think it may be due to urbanization.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Remember our ancestors told it right "If there are no temples, you should not be living in that area". That way I see every nook and corner has one or the other temples in Bangalore. I have listed only the main important, historical, special temples below. </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Close to 65+ important temples listed below area wise with <u>Google map links</u>. Scroll down below the table to see photos and details. </span></b><b><span style="font-size: large;">Also I have included few temple festival videos that I captured during our visits. Click the links to open google map of the temple.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Note: For all other temples nearby Bangalore, please visit my main Blog: "<a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2014/07/weekend-breaks-or-day-trips-from.html" target="_blank">Weekend Breaks or Day trips from Bangalore</a>"</span></b><br />

<b><u>Basavanagudi</u></b></h3>
Both Big Bull Temple and Dodda Ganapathy temple are in same place. Both are built around 1537 AD. The Nandi here is one of the largest with 15 feet high and 20 feet long. Even the Ganesha is so big and hence the name "Dodda" (means big). There is a Bugle rock which seems to be 3000 million years old.<br />
<br />
Kadalekai Parische is one of the big festival here in Bull temple. Usually this is during Mid-November of the year (Krithika month of Karnataka calendar). And 1 Lakh lights are lit here in this temple which is amazing to see.<br />
<br />
Gavi Gangadhareswara Temple is one example for Rock-cut architecture built at 16th century. During Makara Sankranti (Pongal), temple witnesses a unique phenomenon in the evening sunlight passes through an arc between the horns of Nandi and falls directly on the Linga inside the cave and illuminating the interior idol.<br />

22 feet high and 16 feet width, this is another big Hanuman shrine in Bangalore. During the month of August, 500Kg of Butter is used to decorate Hanuman. Also Vadai Malai (Garland made of Vadai) is also given to Lord Hanuman by devotees. There is also a very big Maha Lakshmi shrine here. This area is called Mahalakshmi Layout based on this temple. This is direct opposite to ISKCON temple and one can see the temple tower from ISKCON hills.<br />

<b>112 feet Shiva statue that is in Guinness Book of records, Do you know that Rolls Royce was used for Garbage collection? A temple where Lord Hanuman worshipped Lord Subramanya for water and this temple existed since Ramayana period... </b></h3>

Among other cities, we found Coimbatore city very clean with wide roads, plenty of parking places elsewhere, no potholes on roads... clean lakes... Really appreciate people of Coimbatore and corporation who maintains it well.<br />
<br />

You would have heard about this a lot. A beautiful place. Visit to Linga Bhairavi and Dhyana Linga is must apart from Adi Yogi statue. Visit Dhyana Linga during <b>Nadha Aaradhana time i.e. 11:50AM and 5:50AM </b>which is really very special and you get to experience it, feel the vibration, words cannot explain. Also be part of Aum Meditation. One can spend the whole day here and even continue to stay here as well. Check their site for stay options and availability. Everything is free here, only for car parking you may need to pay. See below the photos that have lots of details about the events here.<br />

When you see the Isha foundation on your right side of the road, on left side you will see a board that indicates 3 Kms to base of Velliangiri Hills. Trekking is permitted by Government <b>only during February to May</b>. During the <b>Chithirai Pournami </b>(Full moon day on Tamil month Chithirai i.e. around April-Mid) this place will be heavily crowded. Lakhs of devotees trek to the peak starting mid-night. This is a very holy hill and one need to perform "One Mandala Viradham" 41 days of Viradham to trek here and visit the Velliangiri Aandavar (Lord Shiva) on peak.

<b><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/rFcQ3rufdDDbWm4F6" target="_blank">Perur Pateeswarar Temple</a></b></h3>
<br />
Built by Karikala Chola during his period, the Lingam is self emerged ("Swayambhu") and have the footprint of Kamadhenu(Cow). During <b>7th century</b>, the famous tamil poet Sundarar sang Thevaram here. There is a Kanaka Sabha where Lord Nataraja is present and you can see intricate sculpture work on pillars. During milk abhishekam one could witness the footprint of cow on Shivalingam here.<br />
<br />
The divine cow Kamadhenu performed a severe penance seeking for the post of Lord Brahma who is the creator. It poured milk over the Shivlingam hidden inside an anthill. The playful calf by mistake stepped over the anthill and demolished it. Kamadhenu pleaded Shiva for pardon. Lord Shiva was pleased with the calf and mentioned this is the first among the salvation sthalas for his devotees.<br />
<br />
Also there is a Tamarind tree in front of the temple known as "<b><u>Pirava Puli</u></b>" meaning the seeds of the Tamarind tree will never germinate. Also the devotees who worship here will not have rebirth and attain Mukthi.<br />
<br />
There is also a Palm tree which is 2000 years old and has no death known as "<b><u>Irava Panai</u></b>". Adhi Sankarar worshiped here for her Mother to attain Mukthi. Also devotees who worship here will get long lasting name and fame.<br />
<br />
Another natural wonder is that, the cow dung in this area will never have worms known as "<b><u>Puzhukadha Saanam</u></b>".<br />
<br />
The famous Gorakkar Siddhar attained Jeeva Samadhi here.<br />
<br />
Another miracle is that this temple is on the Noyyal River banks. And when the <b>bones of dead </b>is placed in this river, it <b>turns out as white stones</b>.<br />

<b><u>Siruvani Waterfalls</u></b></h3>
<b><u><br /></u></b>
Famous for its <b>taste and mineral properties</b>. The sweetness comes as the river comes through dense vegetation and rocks. View from falls and the Siruvani dam are major tourist attractions here.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Marudhamalai Murugan Temple</u></b></h3>
<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
This is Dhandayuthapani Temple, praised by famous Tamil poet Arunagiri Nadhar in Tirupugazh. Lord Muruga and Vinayaga are swayambhu murthy (self emerged). This is a 12th century temple on a small hill which has around 800+ steps. One can also drive up to hill.<br />
<br />
There is a Pancha Virutcham - Cluster of 5 trees - Ala Maram (Banyan), Arasa Maram (peepal), Vembu (Neem), Vakkanai (Mountain persimmon), Nuna (Indian Mulberry or Noni). There is a Panchamuga vinayagar at the bottom of the tree and everyone to worship him first. It is believed that the breeze here is curing diseases. Also this is believed to be very old tree and very rare.<br />
<br />
On the left side of the tree there is a small path that lead you down to a small cave where Pambatti Siddhar is living even now. The image of the snake on the rock is natural which is amazing. It is also believed that the snake comes everyday and drink the milk and feed on the fruits. The Siddhar performed meditation here.<br />

<b><u>Anuvavi Subramanyaswamy Temple</u></b></h3>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
The lord Subramanya swamy is a Swayambumurthi (Self emerged). There are close to 500 steps. Also note that, this is exact other side of Marudhamalai Murugan temple. I heard that one can trek up and reach or go around and reach Marudhamalai temple.<br />
<br />
Lord Anjaneya was carrying the Sanjeevini mountain on his hands and he was thirsty on his way. He prayed to Lord Muruga for water. Lord Subramanya with his Vel punched the earth and from there the water emerged and flowed as a river. Also note that this temple was existing even during the Ramayana period. At the base of the hills one can see a huge colorful statue of Lord Anjaneya.<br />
Also on the other side there is a small temple for Goddess Lalithambika.<br />

<b><u>Palamalai Ranganathar Temple</u></b></h3>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
Looks like many misspell the name "Palamalai", Pala should be infact pronounced as in "Paala". This is very beautiful place inside the forest. One need to drive up the small hill. Not so narrow. Also roads are in good condition now. 3 to 4 hairpin bends. Recently in Febraruary 2019, Maha Kumbabishekam happened here in this Temple. Hence the roads are patched and in good condition. At the base of the hills there is a checkpost. Looks like if they notice any animal movements, they might stop vehicles here itself. So no need to worry.<br />

<b><u>Eechaneri Vinayagar Temple</u></b></h3>
<br />
<br />
The 6 feet high and 3 feet width Vinayagar was mainly for the Perur Patteeswarar temple it seems, but it got stuck here in Eechaneri for some reasons and the temple was built. They believe this was built around 1500 AD.<br />

<u>GD Naidu Museum</u></h3>
<br />
One of the Must visit places in Coimbatore. You get to see all high end and classic collection here. There are lots of details shared about each car here. One interesting story is about the Jaipur King - Maharaja Jai Singh mentioned here in this Museum. It seems he went to Rolls Royce showroom and inquired about the top end model. Looking at him, the showroom people laughed and questioned about his capacity, insulted him. After returning back with wounded pride, he then ordered 6 top end Rolls Royce cars. The company was completely surprised and delivered them all. Once they reach, he ordered these cars for garbage collection in city and gave to municipality. Hearing this news, the company people sent a personal telegram apologizing their mistake and their act. Also they sent six new cars in exchange for the six garbage cars. You get to see such details here. All the cars in display are real cool. Photographs allowed. In the famous old Tamil movie "Padaiyappa" (actor Rajinikanth) there was a car used by Ramyakrishnan and that car is on display here.<br />

Opposite to Koniamman Temple there is a big parking space. From Koniamman temple, Poombuhar Handicrafts emporium is just 200 hundred meters away. Also there is a old book shops nearby.<br />
<br />
In Race course road, there is a walking track and early morning walks are wonderful.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Thillai Nataraja Temple</u></b></h4>
<br />
A big temple with 50 acres complex and 9 temple towers. The towers on main entrances of all sides seem to have been built around 1150 CE. The temple towers rebuilt during 13th century, This is one of 108 Divya Desams of Lord Vishnu. Wondering ? Yes it is. You get to see both Lord Nataraja on one side and Lord Govindaraja on other side. If you happen to be there in evening around 6:45PM or 7PM there is a pooja performed to both Nataraja and Govindaraja at the same time and you can watch standing in center. .<br />

The unique feature of this temple is the main deity Lord Shiva represented in the form of dancing rather than Lingam in other temples. The cosmic dance of Lord Nataraja represents the motion of universe as sustained by him. There are also architectural marvels in this temple.<br />
<br />
Aani Thirumanjanam which is during the Tamil Month of Aani i.e. Between June mid to July mid is the very famous festival. Also Aarudra Dharisanam during the Tamil month of Margazhi i.e. Dec Mid to Jan - Mid is very famous here. Near the Temple tank there is a stage where Bharatha Natyam is performed.<br />

The layout and architecture of the temple is replete with philosophical meanings.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The 9 gateways signify the 9 orifices in the human body.</li>
<li>The Chitsabai or Ponnambalam, the sanctum sanctorum represents the heart which is reached by a flight of 5 stairs called the Panchaatchara padi - pancha meaning 5, achhara – indestructible syllables – "SI VA YA NA MA", from a raised anterior dias - the Kanakasabai. The access to the Sabhai is through the sides of the stage (and not from the front as in most temples).</li>
<li>The Ponnambalam or the Sanctum sanctorum is held by 28 pillars – representing the 28 agamas or set methodologies for the worship of Lord Shiva. The roof is held by a set of 64 beams representing the 64 forms of art and is held by several cross-beams representing the innumerable blood vessels. The roof has been laid by 21600 golden tiles with the word SIVAYANAMA inscribed on them representing 21600 breaths. The golden tiles are fixed using 72000 golden nails which represents the no. of nadis exists in human body. The roof is topped by a set of 9 sacred pots or kalasas, representing the 9 forms of energy. (refer Umapathy Sivam’s Kunchitaangristhavam)</li>

We stayed in Hotel Saradaram which is kind of ok and not so great, but you get few other options(Hotel Akshaya...etc) as well. Refer to review sites to choose the option you need.<br />
<br />
For food, Chennai Saravana bhavan and Hotel Krishna of East Car street are good options. </div>

<b><u>How to reach</u></b></h3>
<b><u><br /></u></b>
From Mysore or Bangalore you can book the train which starts from Mysore and run till Mayiladuthurai. From the last stop which is Mayiladuthurai, Chidambaram is 40 Kms from here. I would advise you take a taxi to visit all the places. For Navargraha temples as well you will need a taxi.<br />

<b><u>1. Pichavaram Mangrove Forest - 15 Kms from Chidambaram</u></b></div>
<div>
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<br />
<div>
<b>Second largest Mangrove forests in the World covering 11+ Square Kilometers</b>. Birding season is again from November to January. Very beautiful place and a Must visit. They have pedal boat, motor boat and nominal charges. One get to see Red, Black crabs all the time on Mongrove. You may avoid this during rainy season. October and November the sea may be rough and better to avoid.<br />

<b><u>2. Vadalur Thiru Arut Prakasa Vallalar Deiva Nilayam (Ramalinga Adigalar) - 31 Kms from Chidambaram</u></b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
Sri Ramalinga Swamigal is one of the famous Tamil Saints and Gnana Siddhar (who attained higher wisdom). He endeavored to eliminate caste system. He advocated the concept of worshiping the flame of a lighted lamp as a symbol of eternal power. In 1867 he established a center for feeding the poor people. On the inaugural day he lit the fire of the stone stove, with a declaration that the fire be ever alive and the needy shall be fed forever. And since then i.e. from 23rd May 1867, the fire is still alive and ready to cook food anytime of the day and feed the needy. It is never put off since then. Around 1872 he established the "Sathya Gnana Sabai", hall of True Wisdom Forum and ensuring it was entirely secular. There is a Maha Mantra in Tamil by Vallalar "Arut Perum Jyothi Arut Perum Jyothi Thani Perum Karunai Arut Perum Jyothi". Remember this is not a temple, and daily poojas are only at 11:30 AM and 7:30 PM for the lamps. <a href="https://temple.dinamalar.com/en/new_en.php?id=914" target="_blank">Read more from here (Dinamalar Temples site). </a> </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
When you travel from Chidambaram to Vadalur, on the way you get to see the village "Marudhur" and the house where Ramalinga Swamigal was born. Even here the lamp is lit and continuously burning from his time. On the way you also get to see full of paddy fields, so green and cool to your eyes.<br />

<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
This is 1000 to 2000 year old Shiva Temple. When there was a Pralaya flood this temple was unaffected. There are huge compound walls and a Inner Prakaram. This is as famous as Kasi - Varanasi and the benefit measure is little more than Kasi. The Vanni tree inside the temple complex is 1700 year old as per Wiki (but the board says 2500 year old ? See the photo below).<br />

<b><br /></b><b><u>6. Sirkazhi Sattainathar Temple</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
This temple again survived and unaffected during Pralaya floods. There are three stories. Brahmapureeswarar shrine at lower level, Thoniappar and Goddess Parvathi on middle level on Thoni, and Sattainathar (Bhairavar) on the third level. At second level Shiva and Parvathi shrine is close to 8 feet high and so beautiful. This cant be seen in any other temples and it is very unique. When Thirugnana Sambandar was a child, his father left him on the bank of the tank and went for bath. The child started crying for milk as he was hungry. Lord Shiva asked Parvathi to feed the boy and she fed milk with wisdom in it. And the child sat happily after having the milk. With the milk spilling over his lips, his father shouted at him for accepting milk from unknown persons. And surprisingly the child started singing "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrxYOfALS3E" target="_blank">Thodudaiya Seviyan...</a>" and made his father realize it was goddess who fed him. </div>

Relatively clean, more traditional, ever growing, wider roads, moving traffic and one of the big cities of India. Many tourists from across the world visit Chennai for spirituality, culture and health care. Madarasapattinam (In Tamil - "மதராசபட்டினம்") is the old name and now it is called Chennai.<br />

There are plenty of places to see in and around Chennai. This blog will help you list all such important places and tips to plan. With beautiful photos of these places, I am sure you will love to plan your trip soon with your family. I also have listed few important fairs, festivals and events in Chennai.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">This blog also covers major <u>Weekend breaks from Chennai</u>. More than 65+ places covered "In and around Chennai". </span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Few important things to consider</u></b></h4>
<br />
Please don't plan your visit around summer i.e. Feb till June, it will be very hot. Other months are fine. Start early in the morning to visit the temples around. At places like Kapaleeswarar temple or Paarthasarathy temple you may not find a parking lot late in morning. But you might get few if you are there before 7AM morning, so plan accordingly. You can choose cabs i.e. Ola, Uber, etc to roam around local Chennai and for shopping and places, if you are not sure about parking spaces.<br />
<br />
For divine/spiritual books, Indian Music CDs, Arts and Idols, Handicrafts you can try <a href="https://www.giri.in/" target="_blank">Giri Trading at Mylapore</a> which is right opposite to Kapaleeswarar Temple.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>How to plan, Tips</u></b></h4>
<br />
If you are spiritual and like temples, then you have plenty. I have only listed few important temples and not all here. And if you don't like temples, then you have Shopping places, Beaches, Resorts, Zoo etc. I would recommend minimum of 4 to 5 full days to visit everything listed in this blog.<br />
<br />
I have grouped the places in each direction to plan better. For temple visits, plan to start early morning till 12.30 noon. Take a break in noon somewhere and start again by 4PM in evening. I always reach the farthest place in the list first, in the direction and start visiting from backwards. You may not have plenty of food options when you are in outskirts of Chennai visiting the temples, so carry your own food.<br />
<br />
For the places inside Chennai, I have not given distance as it depends on from where you start. For places around Chennai, I have given the distances.<br />
<br />
If you have a binoculars, carry it always with you to see the beautiful sculptures on top of each of the Temple Tower. They are so beautiful and well painted.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: red;">Note: For each of the place listed below, the Google Map link is provided, just click it to open the maps.</span></u></b><br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Food and Tamil Cuisine</u></b></h4>
<br />
Don't forget to try the local traditional food i.e. Idiyappam, Idly-Sambar-Chutney combination, Dosa, Uthappam, Sweet and Kara Pongal, Vadai, Puttu, Vazhai Ilai Meals for Lunch (Plantain leaves lunch), Rasam, Payasam, Kuzhi-Paniyaram, Millet varieties ...etc. At the end try Filter Coffee. Poovan, Karpuravalli Banana are tasty and they are local produce. Don't get stuck with one option, use Google to search for all best options and reviews to decide. When you visit Kapaleeswarar temple, try this <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/Myhzub7Tu9D2" target="_blank">Bharathi Mess which is on left side when you stand facing the main east tower.</a><br />
<br />
Don't forget to visit this Wiki to understand more about Tamil cuisine. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_cuisine"><b>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_cuisine</b></a><br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Stay options</u></b></h4>
<b><u><br /></u></b>
There are plenty of options ranging from Economic to Luxury hotels. As I always suggest, review sites will help finalizing the one for you and also choose a good place to move around. In case you have a car, look for parking space within the hotel premises.<br />
<br />
I have listed below, almost all of the important places to visit in and around Chennai. Read below further for how to plan and tips. You will see the Google Map links for each of the place listed below. Also grouped them according to direction to plan them easily.

<br />
Kodaikanal is also called Princess Of Hills. It was Mid-August, drizzling now and then, with cold breeze touching you, I am sure you will be amazed to see the hills surrounding you, filled with clouds. Words are not enough to express the feeling, you need to be there. Look at the intense green foliage on the hills and clouds kissing the tree tops and gliding up. OMG !! Temperatures were ranging from 11 to 15 degree Celsius this time. At the altitude of 2100 meters above the sea level, this is one of the favorite sight seeing place for many in South India.<br />
<br />
As usual, Let me share few photos to impress you all about the place...<br />
<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Best time to visit</span></u></b><br />
<br />
Looks like August, September and October may be the best time to visit this place as it will not be crowded and also everything looks so green and nice. At Mid-November to December, you may not be able to see the places as everything will be covered with mist and clouds and temperatures touches 8 degree Celsius.<br />
<br />
Also you may want to avoid during summer time i.e. Feb till June as it will be heavily crowded and it may not be so green.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Reaching Kodaikanal</span></u></b><br />
<br />
I am sure you will love to drive through the winding Ghat roads, no hairpin bends though. I am sure you will love the views as you keep driving up. The roads are well laid and wide except for very few places. We went via Salem, Namakkal and Dindigul, which is 465Kms from Bangalore. You can also go via Palani, which is another famous site for the Lord Murugan temple on a small hill. This hill and the temple can be seen on a clear day at 79Kms distance from Palani view point in Kodaikanal. I have captured it as well and see below the photos.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Accomodation</span></u></b><br />
<br />
There are plenty of options to stay here. Starting from <a href="http://www.carlton-kodaikanal.com/" target="_blank">The Carlton</a>, <a href="https://grthotels.com/kodaikanal" target="_blank">Great Trails by GRT Hotels</a>, <a href="http://www.hillcountry.in/green-pastures-resort-kodaikanal/" target="_blank">Hill country holiday resorts </a>, <a href="https://hotelsivapriya.chobs.in/" target="_blank">Hotel Sivapriya</a>, <a href="http://www.hilltopgroup.in/hilltoptower/" target="_blank">Hilltop Towers</a>, <a href="https://www.sterlingholidays.com/resorts-hotels/kodaikanal-lake" target="_blank">Sterling resorts</a>, , ...etc ...etc. We wanted to try a home stay and <a href="http://dalethorpe.com/" target="_blank">Dalethorpe</a> was one of the good options which is right opposite to Woodys, we liked the food as well here. As I always suggest, go through review sites to know the latest trends and feed backs from travelers and decide the stay option.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Food options</span></u></b><br />
<br />
Hotel Sivapriya, Hilltop Inn has both Veg and Non-veg hotels separately and was good as well. We tried and liked Kovai Annapurna Veg in Bazaar Road. There are plenty of options for Non-veg but selective few for vegetarians.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Places to see</u></b></span><br />
<br />
Most of the places are like view points in and out of Kodaikanal. Waterfalls will have water only after rains i.e. September, October till December and during summer they will be empty.<br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Planning your trip and Tips</span></u></b><br />
<div>
<br />
If you want to roam around and see all the nearby places, you need to stay for 3 nights. If you are not planning to drive around, make use of Tour operators or Taxis for day plans. Check wherever you stay for these. I have listed the places below, in their order. They all come in the same route, so you can visit them all at once.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Day 1: On the way to Kodaikanal and In Kodaikanal</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
First, you get to see Manjal Aaru Dam view point and DumDum Rock view point and Thalaiyar waterfalls on the way to Kodaikanal.<br />
<br />
a. You hit upon a Toll gate and right after that is the Silver Cascade falls. You cannot go near or take bath.<br />
<br />
b. After the falls little further you go, you get to see a board for Sacred Heart Museum. This is a Natural history museum which holds collection of Birds, Butterflies....and lots. Worth visiting.<br />
<br />
c. Check in into your stay option, have Lunch and start exploring the places around. We suggest to try Coaker's walk and Bryant Park. Also take the Tandem cycle and roam around the Lake that is 5Kms. If you like, visit the Kurinji Andavar Temple and/or Bhatra Kali Amman Temple. Take good rest.<br />
<br />
Below is the timelapse from Coaker's walk:<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><u>Day 2: Berijam Lake</u></b><b><u> and places en route</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b style="text-decoration-line: underline;">Mannavanur Deviation:</b> Carry enough snacks and food as this might take a while to return back. We suggest you start this bit early, have your breakfast before 8:30AM and start towards Berijam Lake. You will find a Checkpost and that is closed. You will also see boards here. On your right the road continues to Mannavanur. Yes you are at right place, park your vehicles to the roadside and keep waiting till 9:30AM. The forest officers will come and open this gate by 9:30AM. Be careful here, lots of monkeys around to flick snacks from you. Once you park, they come from somewhere looking for food. Sit on top of your car and keep waiting.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Moir Point: </u></b>Once the forest officials come and open the gate, Keep driving from here. You will reach Moir Point. From here, I heard only 25 vehicles are allowed to go inside further. Many tourist vehicles are stopped here. But you can continue further. You will get a form to fill and get a seal from Forest official. Once it is done, keep driving. Once you reach Berijam Lake, take this form and get it signed there and return the same here at Moir point upon return. It is simple and nothing to worry. Drive carefully and slowly as you are entering the forest.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Silent Valley View:</u></b> From Moir Point, keep driving from the check post after formalities(filling form and get seal), first you will hit upon the Silent Valley View. Views are awesome from here. Too windy when we went.<br />
<br />
<u>Small Incident on the way to Berijam Lake</u><br />
<u><br /></u>
When we went, just right after this Silent View point, there was a huge tree fell and no one can move further. Two cars were parked in front of us. Did not know what to do. Suddenly two more cars and a van came behind. They all came down to see what is the issue. One person said, lets remove this tree. I was like "what? ... how... ...." and surprised. But looking at him, I got the confidence and yes lets remove it. Many came together and started to push it to side. One brought an Arival (Sickle) and started cutting the branches. Everyone together pushed to side and made the way. Wov..... awesome. Together anything can be done. Yes, I have seen it in action.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Caps Valley View Point:</u></b> Go further from Silent Valley view and you will see Caps Valley view. It is the same valley view from other side. Keep driving from here. You will hit upon another view point that is called "Berijam Lake View point". You can see huge Pine Trees and clouds kissing them and going up. It is so beautiful to see them from here. This place is too windy as well and it is so cool.<br />
<br />
Below is the timelapse of this view point:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oLPZQmYUEu8/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oLPZQmYUEu8?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Pine Trees and Berijam Lake:</u></b> Driving further, on the way you will see plenty of Pine trees, continue and you will reach Berijam Lake. Don't forget to carry the form to get signature from the Checkpost here. You can see the Lord Murugan Temple on left side and lake on right side. Nothing much other than this lake and the forest guest house. But if you are in right season this place looks beautiful.<br />
<br />
This lake seem to have the pure water and surrounding villagers use this for drinking water. One more thing, Lotus and Lily will grow in water only when the water is so pure. They also clean the water and make it so cool.<br />
<br />
After this start returning back. At Moir point you need to return the signed copy of the form.<br />
<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Pine Tree Forest (Tourist attraction):</u> Obviously multiple movies shot here. Very famous tourist attraction in Kodaikanal. Again lots of monkeys here as well. Be careful. You can go inside, take photos, see the beauty of those huge Pine trees. Enjoy with them, see them dancing to Winds. Wov... wonderful.<br />
<br />
<u style="font-weight: bold;">Guna Caves:</u> Wondering what is Guna ? Yes the name came as the Movie "Guna" by Tamil actor Kamal Hassan was shot here. Due to multiple incidents, the cave is closed now. But there is a view point and also the roots which are above the soil are major attractions here. see below the photos of the same.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Pillar Rocks View Point:</u></b> Among these rocks only the Guna caves are situated. From inside the cave, when you reach the other end, you get to see the view of the valley. Long back during my college days, I remember we had gone inside with my colleagues. But now this is closed.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Green Valley View point:</u> </b>It was almost 3:00 PM when we reached here. Unfortunately, from the view point you can only see dense clouds and nothing else. Yes, in Kodaikanal unless you are at right moment this will be the case. At late evenings, there will be clouds covering the entire place.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Dolphin Nose View Point:</u></b> Based on the timing, you can continue to visit this. This is another view point. We did not visit as it was already cloudy at Green Valley view point.<br />
<br />
After all these above you can reach the town and do some shopping in Bazaar road. Also visit temples if you like.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Day 3: Mannavanur Grass Lands and places en route</u></b><br />
<br />
Again, carry enough snacks and food as this might take a while to return back. We suggest you start this bit early, have your breakfast before 8:30AM and start towards Mannavanur Grass Lands. You might need to drive a lot, cross multiple hills to reach this. But you will love it. The drive is very scenic.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Waterfall:</u></b> On the way we saw a waterfall, but not so much water. see the photo below. Lots of birds can be seen on the way.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Palani View Point:</u></b> This is one of the spot, everyone stop to see the Temple that is 79Kms from here, The famous Palani Murugan Temple can be seen with a binocular or a Zoom lens if you own one. I had my zoom lens and luckily it was clear, and we could see the temple. See the photo below. In fact we were at this place by 10 AM, hence it was clear. While we came back at around 2, nothing can be seen as it was covered by clouds completely. There are few shops here and they help you point to the temple.<br />
<br />
You can also see Pallangi village on your right hand side and the Pallangi water falls. Also on your left side is the Maha Lakshmi temple on a small hill.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Maha Lakshmi Temple:</u></b> Very beautiful small temple on a hill, you could see Goddess Maha Lakshmi.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Poombarai Village and Terrace Gardens:</u></b> You could have heard about Terrace farming and the famous Rice terraces of China. If you have watched BBC Bluray documentary "Wild China" you know it better. But for the first time, we get to see this in India 'here in this village. I think photos can tell you a lot than I write about it. As Pongal is the famous festival in Tamilnadu, around that time, the entire village does harvesting. If you get a chance to visit this place during early January or late December, it would be awesome. Entire terrace field will be ready for harvest.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Mannavanur Grass Lands and the Lake:</u></b><br />
<br />
I have seen Grasslands in Sakleshpur, Chikmagalur, but this is another beautiful place. Amidst the valley there is a lake adding beauty to the entire place. Very scenic. There is a boating as well. On the grass fields, they have some dirt-bike which is on rent. See below the photos. Enjoy the locally grown carrot to energize yourself.<br />
<br />
After this, you can start to return back. On the way back stop at the Observatory.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Solar observatory (Indian Institute of Astrophysics):</u></b> This is allowed only between 2PM to 4PM in noon. On the way back, you can stop here and see this place.<br />

One of the weekend destination from Bangalore or Salem. A small hill station, good option for a family to stay and relax. Any time except Summer is ideal time to visit. i.e. Between July till February. During summer it will be very hot. If you like Temples, you may visit few important temples near Salem. View points were awesome. See below the photos....<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
There are plenty of options you have, yet you need to book in advance. <a href="https://www.sterlingholidays.com/resorts-hotels/yercaud" target="_blank">Sterling Holidays</a>, <a href="https://grthotels.com/yercaud" target="_blank">GRT Hotels</a>, <a href="http://www.aradhanainn.com/" target="_blank">Hotel Aradhana Inn</a> etc. You may want to check review sites before you choose.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you plan to stay at Salem, you may choose <a href="http://srisaravanabhavan.com/sarroom/" target="_blank">Asai Dosai Saravana Bhavan</a>. There are good rooms and the restaurant is very famous in Salem. The menu is so awesome and completely country style. You get very rare items and all are so tasty. You must try "Panankalkandu Paal" (Palm sugar Milk) and varieties of Dosa and awesome strong Coffee. You may need to be bit early to avoid peak hour long queues.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
The same restaurant is available on top of Yercaud as well, see below the photo of the place...<br />

<b><u>Petrol pumps at Yercaud</u></b><br />
<br />
There are two petrol pumps on top of Yercaud. Hindustan Petroleum (HP) is at the exit road to Salem from Lake. Bharat Petroleum (BP) is at the Nagalur Road. I heard the suggestion from locals to fill only when you are really out of gas or otherwise fill at Salem town. Both can be found easily from Lake.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Two routes from Bangalore</u></b></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"><b>[Heard that this road is not well maintained - Update on July 2019]</b> </span>1. Bangalore - Krishnagiri - Dharmapuri - Thoppur - Theevattipatti - Danishpet - Kanavaipudur - Karadiyur view point - Nagalur - Yercaud<br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2. Bangalore - - Krishnagiri - Dharmapuri - Thoppur - Salem Airport - Salem, Yercaud<br />
This is a 20 Hairpin bend road from Salem to Yercaud road, via Sharadha college and Salem Railway station</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b><u>Sundakkai</u></b><br />
<br />
You might see this elsewhere. This is very rich in Iron and mostly used in villages. Koottu made of Sundakkai will be awesome. Search Google for Sundakkai Kootu. Greek name for Sundakkai - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_torvum">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_torvum</a><br />

<b><u>Few photos of Colorful clouds from Yercaud - During July 2019</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
We are extremely lucky to view this. Northen lights will only have one color i guess, but here we got to see almost all the colors I guess. It was simply superb watching this transformation for close to 35 to 40 minutes while coming down to Salem. It was around 6PM in evening, we could not take pictures of Sunset as it was so cloudy. But this was so amazing to view..... see below some of the clicks....<br />
<br />
This happens due to ice particles in clouds and sun light transforms them into colorful reflections.<br />

<br />
It was December, a week before the Peak season starts and before Christmas holidays, we decided to go on a Safari from Jungle Lodges and Resorts for a day and come back to Bangalore on Sunday. It is being December we had high expectations on Greenery and good sightings on wildlife safari.<br />
<br />
The resort is just 4 to 4.5 hours of drive from Bangalore(via Kanakapura Road), very beautiful and scenic paddy fields on the way to BR hills. There is a big pond in front of the property and a small Temple for Kyathadevara God. You need to book online.<br />
<br />
We decided to go via Kanakapura road to avoid all the traffic and chaos on Mysore road during weekends. Google helped us with complete village side roads which was scenic and we liked it. On the way we got to see villagers drying Ragi crops throughout the roads. It helped kids to understand how farmers struggle to produce Ragi and various stages before they really pack it for sale. Kids really understood why they should not waste food after looking at farmers.<br />
<br />
While we had great time looking at Ragi, Rice and Sugarcane fields on both sides, we have almost reached the base of the BR hills and stopped by forest range check post and the BR Hills entrance arch. From here it is completely a beautiful drive up on hills with lots of humps to reduce your speed. It seems you will spot elephants on the way, so drive very slowly and carefully. Sign boards says not to stop anywhere.<br />

We checked in and got refreshed quickly for Lunch as we had breakfast very early in morning and were hungry. The resort have few suite rooms and cottages. We chose suite room while cottages were also available. At Jungle lodges you are always charged per head and also based on the type of accommodation. The charges includes Safari.<br />
<br />
The resort had lot of open space in front of the cottages. There are swings, hammocks and stone benches for you to sit and relax. All these were well places under trees and provides shade and fresh oxygen.<br />
<br />
The food was excellent all the time and I really appreciate the cook for the varieties and the taste. After meals you get around 2 hours of break till 3:45PM and you can spend the time on those hammocks under the trees. They serve Tea/Coffee by 3:45PM. There is a guide who gives introduction about the resort, safari and details on sightings while you sip your coffee / tea.<br />
<br />
Jeep Safari starts at 4PM. If you are taking Camera with a lens which is more than 200mm, then be aware of the charges which is Rs.500/= per safari. Kids were more excited than us. Jeep slowly entered into the forest. There was a complete silence and my kids were murmuring. Everyone in Jeep were looking all sides for animal sighting. The driver kept stopping and listening to sounds. We get even more excited. Jeep kept going deep inside the forest and we started to look at the trees, vines and various shapes of trees, the safari passage. It started to become bit cold. The driver went close to a water hole and was checking with his binocular for any animals, birds. Jeep waited for few minutes and moved on. Another water hole came and again moved on further. But where are the animals ? :-) :-) It was so unfortunate, we could only see a spotted deer group and nothing else. Not even birds and no bird sounds as well.<br />

hmm.... kids told me that because these jeeps kept coming into these forests twice a day, all animals went deep inside and got scared of us. Yes, it was true. With lots of disappointment on kids face, Jeep started to come back to resort. we reached back at 6:45PM. They played a video and coffee/tea, snacks were served.<br />
<br />
Within sometime at around 7:30 I guess they started the camp fire. Kids liked to sit around the campfire and talk. So we went to the campfire and sat for a while. Dinner was ready by 8:30PM. Sky was so clear and we saw many stars. I did not carry tripod and more than that I am still learning to take photos of night sky. As this place far away from city lights, sky looked very clear with no light pollution.<br />

After Dinner, they told us to be ready by 6:00AM morning for another safari. They also provided hot coffee/tea in morning and Safari starts by 6:30 sharp. Again as we entered into the forest, we could see Crested Serpent Eagle and an Owl. I could take a shot of eagle but not Owl as it got scared and went off quickly. We again could spot few deers and returned back to resort at around 8:30AM. Had a good breakfast. Spent some time roaming around, playing on the swings etc and checked out.<br />

Jeep went deep inside in a different route this morning. But again rarely we could see any animals or birds again. But amazingly at one place we saw the sun rays falling through the trees and created a wonderful sight. I have taken few shots of it. More than animals, I just loved this sighting.<br />

<br />
It was a wonderful trip, though we could not spot any animals we could see the dense forest and beautiful sun rays falling through. Other than safari you can also opt for BR hills temple visit which is just 15Kms from the resort up on the hills<br />
<br />

<br />
Vishakapatnam or Vizag is one of the well known city for Eastern ghats, beautiful and clean beaches. This is the 3rd clean city in India. Vishakapatnam has the oldest shipyard and the only natural harbor in east coast of India.<br />
<br />
Just drive up on any hill to see the beautiful view of the beach and get a cool breeze from there. Be it Kailasagiri hill, Ramanaidu studios hill, Bheemunipatnam, Thotlakonda or Dolphin nose you get beautiful view of the city and beach from any of these hills.<br />
<br />
This is our second trip in the state of Andhra Pradesh and we were really amazed to see beautiful places in and around this city. Our first trip was to Grand Canyon of India which is <b><a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2016/02/belum-caves-gandikota-grand-canyon-of.html" target="_blank">Gandikota, Belum caves, Yaganti, Oravakallu and Maha Nandi. Read this blog for details and photos</a>.</b><br />
<br />
Let us start with beautiful shot from the Lighthouse on Dolphin nose view point. Zoom to see the "VUDA Kailasagiri Hills" - words written over the hills. Also you could see the harbor below and the fishing harbor right next to it. You cannot visit Harbor, but you can visit Fishing harbor and from there, one can see the harbor and ships coming and going.<br />

<b><u>Planning tips</u></b><br />
<br />
If you plan a visit to Vishakapatnam, you must plan and visit Arakku valley on train which goes through multiple tunnels and scenic ride. Borra caves is also another important place you must plan and visit. Borra caves is on the way to Arakku valley and you need atleast 1.5 to 2 hours to visit the caves and come back. Ask for guides where you buy entry tickets and they will help explain the history and locations inside the cave.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Arakku valley planning</u></b><br />
<br />
For Arakku valley trip you need at least a one night stay at Arakku valley. You will find plenty of resorts and options to stay. You may want to check these APTDC accommodations as well: Haritha Valley Resort and Mayuri Araku from their official website <a href="http://www.aptdc.gov.in/accommodations.html">http://www.aptdc.gov.in/accommodations.html</a> (APTDC - Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation). Unfortunately we could not plan to visit this place, but we did visit Borra caves, hence you may not see photos of Arakku valley here.<br />
<br />
You can also hire a taxi from Vizag and that should cost around 3K up and down (same day) and you can cover Borra caves on the way. But if you plan to stay overnight at Arakku valley you might prefer train. Book it online on <a href="http://www.irctc.co.in/">www.irctc.co.in</a> from Vishakapatnam and back.<br />
<br />
<b>Note: </b><br />
<b>Station codes: VSKP and ARK</b><br />
<b>Onward Train Numbers (Vizag to Arakku): 58501 (6:50AM) and 08512 (10:15PM) </b><br />
<b>Return Train Numers(Arakku to Vizag): 58502 (3:40PM) and 08511 (11:40PM)</b><br />
<br />
Remember if you go by train, the Train stop at Borracaves (Station name: BORRAGUHALLU -BGHU). Also if you plan your visit by train, you may want to book in advance to get confirmed ticket.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Planning other places</u></b><br />

<b>Now, Let's start with the photos and details.....</b><br />
<br />
<b><u>1. Borra Caves</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>Timings: 10AM to 5PM, All days</b><br />
<br />
I would like to start with the most amazing part that is found on 1807 by William King who is the Geologist. India's deepest cave and naturally formed. I suggest you ask for Guide where you buy the entrance ticket and let him guide and explain details. You could see huge formation of Stalagmites and Stalactites. There is a small stream flowing from caves called Gosthani river. (Gov means Cow and Sthani means Cow's udder). They found stone tools from Paleolithic age which is 30000 to 50,000 years back. There is also a natural Shivalingam and locals worship. During Shivarathri, there will be a huge crowd.<br />
<br />
Another amazing fact about this Caves, the Gosthani river starts from here and joins the ocean at Bheemunipatnam also called Bheemili beach. See photos below.<br />
<br />
Do you know, when you visit the cave, don't forget to see the board, that says, the railway track goes exactly above the cave 160+ feet. Yes, the railway track goes about the cave.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Earlier, we visited <b><a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2016/02/belum-caves-gandikota-grand-canyon-of.html" target="_blank">Belum caves</a></b> which was largest cave and that too in Andhra itself. <b><a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2016/02/belum-caves-gandikota-grand-canyon-of.html" target="_blank">See photos and details here in my blog</a>. </b>The same blog also covers about another famous cave temple, <b><a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2016/02/belum-caves-gandikota-grand-canyon-of.html" target="_blank">Yaganti Caves and Uma Maheshwara Swamy Temple</a></b>. There are six caves in this temple and all are so beautiful and natural.<br />
<br />
Zoom the below photo, you could see the railway track (on left center of photo) which goes via Borra caves. Beautiful isn't it ? The train goes from Vishakapatnam to Arakku valley and stops at Borra caves.<br />

<b><u>2. Simhachalam Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha Temple</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>Temple Timings: 6AM to 10AM and 4PM to 6PM, All days</b><br />
<br />
I am sure you will prefer to take the 1000 steps instead of driving up the hills after looking at the hills. Very beautiful and relatively small hill of 800 feet high from sea level. This temple faces west as compared to all other temples that are facing east. East facing entrance brings prosperity while west facing entrance brings victory.<br />
<br />
Another unique thing about the main deity is about the sandal paste covering the whole of deity and looking like a big Sandalwood Shivalinga. Only on the third day of Vishaka Month (or) Akshya-Tritiya day (Mid-March to Mid-April) this sandalwood paste is removed and one can see the real appearance of Lord Varaha Narasimha swamy or Appanna. This temple is believed to be constructed before 13th century.<br />

And loaded with 22 torpedoes to be fired from 6 tubes in front and 4 at back. Wov.... dont you feel like visiting that? .... here are some photos .....<br />

<b><u>5. Bheemunipatnam Narasimha Temple and Bheemili Beach</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>Timings of temple: Morning 6AM to 10AM and 4PM to 8PM (usual temple hours)</b><br />
<br />
If you continue to drive few kilometers, you will get to see a temple on top of a small hill on left side and you will not miss to look at the huge colorful statue of Lord Narasimha on top. That is the temple assumed to be built around 14th century. From here you get to see the River Gosthani confluences into Bay of Bengal. Look at some captures below<br />

<b><u>6. Kailasagiri Hills</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b>Timings: 10AM to 9PM. Rope way / Train timings: 11AM to 1PM and 2PM to 8PM</b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
This is one of the famous destinations everyone visit. There is a beautiful VUDA Park (Vishakapatnam Urban Development Authority) on a small hill of 360 feet high. There is a huge Lord Shiva Parvathi statue in middle which is a major attraction. Apart from that, there is also a Rope way of 375 meter length which gives a beautiful view of the beach which is on opposite side. Also there is a train that comes around this hill region, from within this Train you get a view of entire city and the beach. Also you can see Dolphin nose as well. Overall I am sure kids will love this place. Lots of trees and view points with park for everyone to relax. There is also a Telugu Museum. See few photos below.<br />

<b><u>10. Sankaram - Bojjannakonda and Lingalakonda</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>Timings: Not seen any specific timings, might be around 9AM till 5PM</b><br />
<br />
Bojjannakonda and Lingalakonda are two Rock-cut caves on adjacent hillocks in a village called Sankaram. The sites are believed to date between 4th and 9th Century A.D, when the 3 phases of Buddhism - 1. Hinayana, 2. Mahayana, and 3. Vajrayana, flourished at Sankaram. On Eastern side is the Bojjannakonda and on western side is the Lingalakonda. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bojjannakonda" target="_blank">More details in Wiki here. </a> See below the photos. Have not seen any guides here. but you may check in the entrance where you buy tickets.<br />
Behind this hillock you get to see the most amazing green fields up to the distance your eye can see. Paddy fields and too many cattle egrets flying over the fields giving you an amazing sight.<br />

<b><u>11. Thotlakonda Ancient Buddhist Monastery</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
This place seem to be most active during 300 BC to 300 AD i.e. 400 years. And during an aerial survey by Indian Navy they found this place and started excavation. This revealed the ruins of well established Theravada - Hinayana Buddhism Monastery. Guides are available for Rs.100 to 200/=. Guides can explain the history in detail which will be interesting.<br />

<b><u>12. Beach Road and Early morning Walk</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
It is so clean and neat, you will love to walk during early morning hours along the beach here. I appreciate all the people of this city and VUDA for maintaining it so neat. As I mentioned earlier, this city is the 3rd clean city in India. The beach road stretches for more than 10 KMs and you can really have a great walk on both sides. Wake up early and start at around 5:45 or 6AM. See below few photos. There are multiple statues of all great leaders, Poet Thiruvalluvar...etc.<br />

It was one fine Saturday in Mid-May when I and my son reached Nainamalai at around 8:30AM in morning. Though it was late to climb up considering the hot weather, we worshipped Lord Anjaneya at base who gave us strength to climb up. Very few were with us when we started, but we saw many old people and young kids came along and passed by. They were all going so fast and looks like they are all so much used to climbing this. They were so casual while we were looking so tired. :-) They all seem to climb up in just 1.5 hours and we took 3 hours.<br />
<br />
No one have clear details on when exactly this temple was built, but then they say this would have been built around Pallava time. The mandapam and prakaram was built around 1939. The belief is that this is very ancient. This is again at the height of 2600 feet and close to 4500 steps to reach the top. The sage Naina rishi did penance here. There are also three main water streams or Theertham in local language (sacred water stream).<br />
<br />
I suggest you visit this temple only during Saturday morning time, so that the priest will be present and the temple will be open on top. Before starting check with local villagers if the priest will be present on top so that you wont be disappointed if temple is closed. There are lots of varieties of Butterflies around and birds as well.<br />
<br />
During the Tamil month of Puratassi (Mid-September to Mid-October) there will be Lakhs of devotees visit this temple and there will be a huge crowd i.e. particularly on Saturdays which are special.<br />
<br />
This hill and the temple on top can be seen from long distance. Very beautiful. Sthala virutcham of this temple is Nelli Tree (Indian Gooseberry or Amla).<br />
<br />
You could see a small temple for Kuvalayavalli Thayar and the other main temple for Varadaraja Perumal, both on top. Along with Varadaraja perumal, Sreedevi, Poodevi are seen.<br />
<br />
There is another big hill named "Thalamalai" which is also very famous and there is Sanjeevaraya Perumal temple on top. Scroll to bottom for the blog link.<br />

With the huge crowd chanting Govindaa-Govindaa and Narayana, I and my 13 year old son worshiped the Lord Anjaneya at base and got strength to climb up to see Lord Sanjeevaraya Perumal on top. It was Purattaasi 2nd Saturday and there were close to 2500+ devotees by that time when we reached the Neeliyampatti village which is the starting point for us. There is a huge car parking area and there are also lots of buses plying both from Thuraiyur and Namakkal. There are two trek routes, one from Yerumaipatty and the other from Neeliyampatti. Neeliyampatti route is slightly longer I heard.<br />

<b><u>Some details on Temple timings, best time to visit etc</u></b><br />
<br />
Every year during this Tamil month of Purattaasi which comes sometime between the English calendar September Mid to October Mid, there will be a huge crowd of devotees coming to visit this temple from all over the district. Best time to visit this temple, may be from September to January when the whole surrounding is filled with herbal plants and small trees flourished after rains. But don't worry you can visit any time of the year, except March to June to avoid extreme hot weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
View of the hills from base itself is so mesmerizing, I am sure with the devotees coming along, you will be so keen to start your trek up. The path is full of stones and gravels, many walk with their barefoot while few wear shoes and chappals. This is purely up to you and you can keep the footwear somewhere close to the top before entering the temple. It is close to 6 Kms distance from base to the top and takes around 3 to 3.5 hours. Few takes just 1.5 hours. Always start early in morning by around 6 or 6:30AM, so that you can avoid walking during scorching sun. The temple is open from morning 6:30 AM till late evening. But better you plan on Saturdays. </div>

You will be crossing 7 hills to reach the top. On the way up, you will find lots of vendors selling buttermilk and water bottles etc. Be careful with monkeys around. Keep your belongings inside a shoulder bag. There are lots of trees and you get shade to take rest. Almost on the top, you will find a temple tank or a water body where you will find chill water with the fragrance of turmeric. I am sure when you reach here, your legs would have started to shake / tremble a bit. But don't worry, just take a mug of water and pour on your legs and on your face to rejuvenate yourself with energy and strength. Many take bath as well here, you will find mugs to take water from the small tank. You will also find a Karuppa samy temple here.<br />

Once you reach the Karuppa samy temple, it is just few hundred meters of walk to the top most Sanjeevaraya Perumal temple. You could see the vertical drop from the back of the main temple on top. It is always suggested to visit this temple on any Saturday when the temple on top is open, other days you might find the temple closed and priest may not be present. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Once you reach the top most temple, you get a nice cold breeze and you are at 2700+ feet or 820 meters high. <b>For your own safety and security, please avoid climbing on top of the temple or walking on the edges of the compound wall, it is very dangerous and already many lost lives. People lost their lives doing Girivalam on the compound wall, Please avoid it. </b></div>

<b><u>Temple History</u></b><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was believed that this is built during the period of Nayakkars. During those days, there was a shepherd who used to take the cows for grazing. While all other cows are came back with him, one cow alone went astray to the top of the hill and giving milk to a boy there. Shepherd was kept searching and found this and informed the Nayakkar. That night Lord appeared before Nayakkar in his sleep and asked him to build a temple on top and perform regular pooja. From then, the hereditary Nayakkars were the treasurers of the temple.<br />
<br />
It is so amazing to see, how did they carry so much of stones, bricks, cement and other materials to the top to build such a wonderful and beautiful temple. With the divine powers, those days devotees did wonders by building this temple at this height. Another thing, at the backside of the temple compound wall is a 2700 feet vertical drop. Don't know how they managed to build at this place. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looks like the medicinal herb Sanjivi is found elsewhere here apart from other medicinal and herbal plants. After the rains during December will be the ideal time to see varieties of plants grown up. </div>

<b><u>Historical narration from Epic</u></b><br />
<br />
In Ramayana, Lord Rama decided to stay at this place after rescuing Sita from Ravana. He has created a spring where water always flows and never dries up. <span style="text-align: justify;">When a person goes close this spring, he can get the fragrance of turmeric. Also there is a saying that Lord Anjaneya threw the Sanjeevi hill back at the place from where he has taken it and top portion fallen apart here and became Thalamalai.</span><br />

<b>It was on a Saturday during the long weekend around 15th August we were wondering where to go. Decided to visit temples and got to hear from friends about Sri Ramanujacharya temple and Sri Lakshmi Narayana temple close to Mysore and Mandya. This is very unique temple for Sri Ramanujacharya. </b><b>In Tamil, Thondan means a disciple and oor is a town. </b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b><u>Connection with Sri Ramanujacharya</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It is said that, Sri Ramanujacharya from Srirangam, escaped from persecution of King Kulothungan and walked along cauvery river and reached here. He was welcomed by his disciple named Nambi. This place was also called Thondanur as per the inscriptions. You could see old inscriptions in both Tamil and Kannada. It is also believed that this Thonnur lake never dried up since 1000 years.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Note: If you want to know more about Srirangam and other important places please read my very detailed blog on <a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2016/06/trichy-or-tiruchirappalli-and-nearby.html" target="_blank">Trichy here. http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2016/06/trichy-or-tiruchirappalli-and-nearby.html</a></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The Hoysala King Sri Bitti Deva or Vishnuvaradhana who was the Jain follower, renounced Jainism and became Vaishnavaite because of Ramanujacharya. That King's daughter who was possessed by evil forces got relieved off by the prayers and powers of Sri Ramanujacharya and hence the king got converted and started to believe this Vaishnavism.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><u>Small story about Sri Ramanujacharya </u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There was a scholar named Thirukkotiyur Nambi who knows the meaning of most of the sacred mantra and Ramanuja tried multiple times to learn these from him. In eighteenth attempt Nambi agreed to teach him with a promise from Ramanuja, that whoever listens or chant this mantra will directly reach Vaikuntam or heaven and if Ramanuja tells this to anyone he will reach hell. After listening to the mantra, Ramanuja was so excited and thought to himself, what if we tell this mantra to entire Humanity and all can reach Vaikuntam. He then climbed on top of the temple and started chanting the mantra at his high voice, Hearing this news, Nambi called him and asked why did he reveal the mantra to everyone. Ramanuja replied very politely saying "by chanting and teaching the mantra to all, entire humanity can reach Vaikuntam and it is only him who will reach hell and it is perfectly fine with me". Then Thirukkotiyur Nambi embraced him.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The bag that Sri Ramanujacharya used, is been preserved and kept in this temple alongside his statue in glass enclosure.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Though the temples looks pretty simple, the main deity are looking so beautiful. You must also see the Tamil and Kannada inscriptions, murals.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<u><b>Planning the trip</b></u><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>This is again a perfect day outing or weekend break from Bangalore or Mysore. If you can start early in morning, you should be able to cover all these places and come back to Bangalore by evening. If you are in Mysore, then these places are very close i.e. 30 Kms. </b><br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<b>All the temples listed here in this blog are having daily Pooja and timings. The temples open at 10 or 10:30 AM in morning. The priest stay very close by. Ask locals for the house of priest and call him to open the temple if in case it is closed. On Saturday/Sundays there are good number of visitors and for sure the priest will be available. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>First you may want to visit 1. Nambi Narayana temple. Direct opposite to this, is the 2. Gopalakrishna swamy temple. Behind Nambi Narayana temple you will find 3. Ramanujacharya temple. From this temple you can see a school on right side, go through that and there is a way to go up the hill. You can drive with your car. It is a mud road. On top of the hill is the 4. Venkataramana swamy temple. From this hill you could see the entire lake and surrounding. You get a beautiful view from here. Get down from here and see 5. Ramanujacharya statue on the way to Thonnur lake which is a good picnic spot. Please be careful not to get inside water. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Have your lunch and start to 6. Hosaholalu to visit Lakshmi Narayana Temple. We have seen the priest even in afternoon around 2:30 or 3 PM here. From here if you like to visit 7. Bhu Varahaswamy temple which is in Kalahalli you can use google maps to drive. </b><br />

Looks like many people are not aware of this beautiful and historical ancient temple at the base of Nandi Hills in Nandi village. This seem to be the oldest temple and dating back to 9th century. This is been protected by Archaeological Survey of India - ASI and built on Dravidian style. You might see the sculpture of Rajendra Chola. The temple tower is very similar to the ones in South India, particularly of Darasuram. <b><a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/search/label/Darasuram%20Temple" target="_blank">Check my blog and photos of Darasuram here(click this link). </a></b><br />

Look at the perforated decorative windows, amazing sculptures can be found here. Look at the temple tower, so many sculptures can be found here. The spout is beautifully carved out. Don't forget to see the Pushkarani or Kalyani pond. Every temple those days were constructed along with a pond. You can also see the big wooden chariot in front of temple.</div>
<br />
Look at the details on each of the pillars, see the big Nandi. It reminds me of Darasuram and Gangai Konda Cholapuram temples of south.<br />
<br />
You will see the following inside the temple<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Girijamba Temple</li>
<li>Apita Kuchamba Temple</li>
<li>Vasantha Mantapa</li>
<li>Pushkarani or Kalyani Temple Tank</li>
<li>Arunachaleshwara shrine</li>
<li>Bhoga Nandeeshwara shrine</li>
<li>Mahishasura Mardini sculpture</li>
<li>Ornate pillars</li>
</ul>

Chikmagalur is in south-western part of Karnataka and famous for its Coffee plantations, Mullayanagiri Peak, and Baba budangiri hill ranges. Chikmagalur is also called “Coffee land of India”, but you don’t get to taste the top quality “AAA” grade coffee grown here which is exported elsewhere in world. More than 70% of the coffee grown in India is from Karnataka. </div>

In Kannada, “Chikka” means younger and “Magala” means daughter, “Ooru” means Town. Hence Chikkamagaluru means younger daughter’s town and the neighbouring town Hiremagaluru means Elder daughter’s town. Some old inscriptions reveals that these two places were known as Kiriya-muguli and Piriya-muguli. Some major towns in Chikmagalur district includes Chikmagalur, Sringeri, Koppa, Narasimharajapura, Tarikere, Kadur and Mudigere. </div>

There are so many places to see in Chikmagalur. Even four days may not be enough. Beautiful green hills, buttermilk water falls and Hairpin turns, Green meadows over the hills….. wov it is awesome. You should visit Chikmagalur right after rains i.e. September to March, though you can visit throughout the year. </div>

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Special note on Belur, Halebidu and Belavadi</u></b></h3>
These are the <b><u>world famous temples</u></b> for its highly complex and so intricate carvings and sculptures. This is a MUST visit. Don't ignore. Plan a day for all these places. They are all on the way to Bangalore from Chikmagalur. Belur is 59 Kms from Chikmagalur. You may want to stay at Hassan and cover these places along with Shravanabelagola.<br />

We stayed at Tata Plantation trails which is little further from Kaimara junction and deep inside the Coffee plantation. Very beautiful location and view of Baba budangiri hills from here. But the cost is on higher side for the facilities you get. <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g297629-d4226947-r420189115-Plantation_Trails-Chikamagalur_Karnataka.html#SHOW_USER_REVIEW" target="_blank">Read my tripadvisor review from here.

<b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A. Mullayanagiri Peak</span></b></h3>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
Finish your breakfast bit early and start by 8AM. First visit the Mullayanagiri peak. Main reason why I suggest you to start early to Mullayanagiri peak is to avoid the traffic on these narrow hairpin turns and roads. You will find Sitalayanagiri Temple on the way and you need to continue on the same road further to the peak. Mullayanagiri is highest peak in Karnataka with the height of 1925 meters (~2 KMs). The sunset seems to be the best (not sure if you will be able to see sunset except on summer time i.e. April and May). This is one of the best trekking place. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
Please keep in mind: </div>
<ol>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Roads are narrow in places, so keep honking. Never mind or feel bad for honking, honking really helps here. </li>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Drive sensibly, slowly and carefully. Don’t overtake or drive fast. </li>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Near the peak you will hit upon a narrow cemented road. Dont just go on. Please pull over your vehicle to left and wait, while you wait, ask your companion to walk and reach the end of this road (few meters) and stop vehicles on other end and you cross safely. This is very narrow and unless you are good at reverse driving don’t just keep going. </li>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Near the very peak, you will find a parking lot where close 20 to 25 cars can be parked. From here you need to walk up to the temple. I guess it is close to 300+ steps. </li>
<li style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">You may want to wear the sweaters, jackets as it is bit cold here. </li>
</ol>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
Once you park, start climbing up on the steps, you will realize you are walking through the clouds. It is like steps to heaven, as you can see only few steps below and above and nothing beyond. As the clouds touch you, you can see the water particles collected on your hair and eye-lids. We remembered and recollected watching a BBC Documentary “Human Planet” where they show a desert. In that desert, the people catch the fog using nets and collect water from fog. In youtube search for “Harvesting Water From the Sky” or Google search “Atacama fog catching nets”. We really felt this phenomenon and was explaining the same to my kids. Harvesting purest water from air is possible here. You might buy this Human Planet BBC Documentary and watch, which is amazing series of video collection of humans surviving in various extreme places of earth.</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
Just before entering the Mullappa swamy temple on top, you will see a compound wall and on right side below you will see the Nandi. Below this Nandi there are ways to trek little further. But one needs to be very careful and be very cautious. Though things might look very clear, all of a sudden clouds might come and you will loose the visibility. So be very very careful. In summer I heard it will be very clear. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal;">
If you like astrophotography, then you can stay near the temple on tents. Priest here might help. But I don’t know any details, you need to check. All I could see is that, in the Temple Prakaram on peak there are few houses where the priests stay. </div>

<b><u>B. Baba Budangiri Hills and Dattatreya Baba Budan Swamy Darga & Cave Temple</u></b></h3>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
Once you visit Mullayanagiri you can head to Baba budangiri hills and the cave temple. Here you must visit the cave temple which is really nice. Galikere is a lake which is very close from this Darga and it is called Manasarovar of Karnataka. From the cave temple, you can see the hill ranges where you can go on trekking. From here the Manikyadhara falls is very close and you don't want to miss it too.<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>C. Kemmangundi Hill Station</u></b></h3>
Be prepared to trek with Salt as there are leeches. Don't just pluck them out if you find them on your body, spray salt on them and they will leave you. For sometime the bleeding wont stop, but eventually it will stop after few minutes. Nothing to worry about.<br />
<br />
Here there is a Rock garden which is really cool for kids to hang around and Z-point where the sunset is beautiful. If you go little further you will see Shanthi falls. And still further if you could trek you will have a wonderful view of the valley below.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
<b><u>D. Temples Visit</u></b></h3>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
You need a full day to visit the temples Sringeri, Horanadu, Kalasa and Hiremagalur. Start early morning after breakfast from Chikmagalur. Take the route which goes via Balehonnur to Sringeri. Visit Sringeri first. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
At Sringeri, you could see three temples in same complex, as you enter inside from the majestic temple tower </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
1. The old temple you see is Sri Vidyashankara temple </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
2. Sri Adishankaracharya Temple and </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
3. Thorana Ganapathi Temple are next to each other. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
There is also a mantap where there are pictures with stories. See below the pictures. You can buy the Prasad incase if you run out of snacks. </div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: helvetica;">
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a perfect day trip from Bangalore or Chennai with a overnight stay. We visited during August 15th, It was heavily crowded in all temples that time as it was a long weekend. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kanchi was ruled by almost all different kings such as Pandya, Vijayanagara, Pallava and Chola. Each king built his own religious temples. Pallava's built temples for Tithankaras. During British rule, this town is called Conjeevaram. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanchipuram" target="_blank">The Wiki has lot more details.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kanchipuram has three major sections Shiva Kanchi, Vishnu Kanchi and Jaina Kanchi each with many temples related to Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu and Tirthankaras respectively. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bodhidharma, the Buddhist monk and founder of Shaolin KungFu was the third son of Pallava King from Kanchipuram. Bodhidharma spread the Zen school of Buddhism from India to China. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Trilokyanatha and Chandraprabha temple is a twin Jain temple that has inscriptions from Pallava king in Kanchipuram and locally called Thiruparruthikundram.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_temples_in_Kanchipuram" target="_blank">There is a wiki which details all the list of temples in a page, click here to read. </a></span><br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Few Important facts to read</u></b></h2>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>If you happen to visit Kanchipuram on Friday, don't forget to check the Golden chariot procession late evening at Kamakshi temple.</li>
<li>There is a Mango tree in Ekambareswarar Temple which is 3500 years old and bearing sweet, sour, tangy and bitter taste mangoes. This temple tower rises upto 193 feet high. </li>
<li>Kailasanathar temple is the oldest in town, built using soft sandstone same as you see in Mamallapuram shore temple. Beautiful sculptures, yali - lion faced creatures and the tower are worth seeing here.</li>
<li>Dont miss the Ulagalandha perumal temple where you get to see 25 feet high Idol of Ulagalanda perumal - meaning one who measured the earth i.e. one leg on land and other on sky.</li>
<li>Very close to Sankara Mutt, there is a Pandava thoothar perumal temple where you get to see 25 feel high idol of perumal.</li>
<li>Varadaraja Perumal Temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams and the tower is 130 feet high. There is a 100-pillared mandapam where you get to see a stone chains, Yali - lion faced creatures and amazing sculptures.</li>
<li>Dont forget to visit Dr.Annadurai memorial house where you get to see lots of photos of Dr.Annadurai, his house belongings etc. </li>
<li>Kanchi Kudil is the typical house in Kanchipuram those days with Thinnai, Kollai with Mutram (Kollai - Courtyard), rooms on all sides of the main hall, swing ..etc. Dont forget to visit this. </li>
<li>Kachiyapper, a Tamil and Sanskrit scholar, was the priest in the Kumarakottam Temple. He composed the text Kandapuranam. The hall, the Kandapurana Arangetra Mantapam (An outdoor pavilion) where Kachiyapper composed the text still exists in the temple complex. Saint Arunagirinathar has sung hymns in praise of the Murugan icon of the temple</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Pancha bhoota stalam ("</u></b><u>பஞ்ச பூதத்தலங்கள்</u><b><u>" in Tamil)</u></b></h2>
Kanchipuram Ekambareswarar temple is one of the temples that belongs to five elements of nature.<br />
Note: Click the Temple Link to read my blog which has details and photos of the temple.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Land ("நிலம்" - Nilam in Tamil) - Kanchipuram Ekambareswarar Temple (this blog)</li>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Reaching Kanchipuram</u></b></h2>
All the trains except Shatabdi express going from Bangalore to Chennai stop at Arakonam which is just 30Kms from Kanchipuram. You can get down at Arakonam and catch a bus which is frequently available at cheap rates.<br />
<br />
If you are driving, then use Google map. From Bangalore this is close to 280Kms and takes around 5 hours. <br />
<br />
Note: Now the Google search has options to search trains as well, search for "trains from bangalore to kanchipuram" and you will see the details<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Stay options</u></b></h2>
Dont get carried away by the posh-looks of the hotels from outside, you need to really go and check the rooms and then decide if you want to stay. There are only two good options I could see are <a href="https://www.grthotels.com/kanchipuram" target="_blank"><b>GRT regency</b></a> and <a href="http://www.mmhotels.com/" target="_blank"><b>MM Hotels</b></a>. We stayed at <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g503705-d629461-r408293056-Regency_Kanchipuram_by_GRT_Hotels-Kanchipuram_Tamil_Nadu.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT" target="_blank">GRT and read the review here</a>.<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Places to see and tips to plan</u></b></h2>
<div>
There are plenty of temples in Kanchipuram (heard more than 100+), but the below are few important ones you don't want to miss. </div>
<ol>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kamakshi Amman Temple</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ekambareswarar Temple</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kailasanathar Temple</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Varadharaja Perumal Temple</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ulagalantha Perumal Temple</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kumarakottam Murugan Temple</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Dr.Annadurai Memorial</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Kanchi Kudil - Typical Kanchipuram house</span></li>
<li style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sankara Mutt or Kanchipuram Kamakoti Peetam</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You don't want to drive around with your car and dent/scratch your car, instead go for the Auto-rickshaw for the whole day to visit all the temples and places around. One of the reason is that, it is difficult to find the parking lot, the roads are very narrow close to temples and get blocked also it is fast and easy for the Auto to take us around the places than we search. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All the important temples listed above are within 3 to 5Kms radius only, so it will not take more than a day to see all the temples. Start early in morning to avoid the crowds and queue. Most of the temples close by 12PM noon and re-opens by 4 in evening and close by 8PM. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary</u></b></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is just 50Kms from Kanchipuram, incase if you are interested in Bird photography or Bird watching, then plan to visit this place. Best season is between November to March. </span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Shopping </u></b></span></h2>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hand-woven ("</span>கைத்தறி" - <span style="font-family: inherit;">Kaithari in Tamil) silk sarees are very famous here and most of the workforce in this town are involved in weaving industry. You might need to ask if the saree is pure silk or just few silk threads are used. There are cotton sarees with few silk threads and there are pure silk sarees as well. There are many big brand shops available. I suggest to try BM Silks, AS Babu shah, Nalli silks, Kamakshi Co-optex are good options to consider. </span></div>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Food options</u></b></span></h2>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When you visit the temples, dont forget to check the Prasadam counter inside the temples (Not outside) where you get </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Puliyogare ("</span>புளியோதரை" in tamil), Sweet Pongal, Laddu, Vada, Muruku which can energise you instantly. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hotel Saravana Bhavan (HSB), Adayar Anada Bhavan (A2B) and India Coffee house are good options. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<b>Belur and Halebidu, I consider it as one of the Wonders of the World and MUST visit in your lifetime, for its ultimate carvings, mind-blowing sculptures, lathe-turned polished and shining pillars, the ornate lintel and decorated ceilings, star shaped temple structure, series of elephants and many other sculptures on the outer wall...... ... this list never ends. I visited these places thrice and still like to visit 1000 times as well.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I am sure after checking the photos below, you decided your trip to these places. Yes, plan and visit once in lifetime. Very unique for its architecture. My main objective of this photo feature blog is to inspire the readers with these photos of this place. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I have written a blog post sometime ago about these places with all the details to plan, stay options, food etc. That time I did not have the DSLR and captured the photos with Samsung Note II.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Visit my old blog for all planning, stay, route, food....etc... <a href="http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2014/05/belur-halebidu-and-somanathapura.html" target="_blank">http://myjourneysinindia.blogspot.com/2014/05/belur-halebidu-and-somanathapura.html</a></b><br />

<b>But now, my Nikon D810 helped me a lot to capture that beauty and present to you all. Enjoy seeing the photos and dont forget to add your feedback in comments section below and share with your friends as well.</b><br />

<br />
<br />
Trichy or Tiruchirappalli is the headquarters of Trichy district in Tamilnadu. Here, the river Kaveri splits into two forming the island of Srirangam in middle. Kollidam bridge and Kaveri Bridge are the two bridges you will cross while coming from Salem or Chennai side.<br />
<br />
The city is an important educational centre in the state of Tamil Nadu. International Airport is there which operates flight to southeast Asia and middle-east. Trichy is mostly very hot in temperature, and annual mean is 29 degree Celsius.<br />
<br />
According to Hindu Mythology, the word "Tiruchirappalli" is derived from
"Tiru" which is to address someone with respect, "Chirapalli" is a
compound of siram - head, palli - to sleep. It is a reference to the
deity Sriranganathaswamy who is depicted at rest with his head in a
slightly elevated position in the Srirangam Temple, Tiruchirappalli.<br />
<br />
The major attraction, Srirangam has around 21 Gopurams (Temple Tower) and the main Rajagopuram (main tower) is about 236 feet high.<br />
<br />
As usual, I have added plenty of photos to inspire you about these places. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Stay options</u></h3>
There are many options around the central bus station and railway station - Hotel Ramyas, Hotel Sangam, Hotel Feminas. Apart from these there are many other stay options in different areas. Refer the review sites and check the room before you book and confirm. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Food options</u></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Nowadays I see plenty options to eat throughout the city. Multi-cuisine restaurants are very common where you get South-Indian, North-Indian, Continental, Chinese items. Again I suggest review sites.<br />
When you are in Tamil nadu, you should try Idly, Pongal, Dosa, Chutney and Sambar which are the specialities. Also Coffee is very famous in these area than tea.<br />

<u>Tips to plan your visit and nearby places</u></h3>
<div>
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><b>One day plan </b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
In Trichy you will see plenty of buses plying 24x7 from Central bus station to Srirangam which goes via Thiruvanaikkaval. Every minute there is a bus. You can also hire taxi or an auto for your convenience. Take the city bus to Srirangam in early morning. Visit the temple. This is very big temple and will take around one and half hour including darshan. Darshan depends on the crowd and time of the day, so plan atleast 30 minutes to be in queue for darshan. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After Srirangam, head to Jambukeswarar Temple at Thiruvanaikkaval. This is just 1.5 kms from Srirangam temple. You can either come by Auto or Bus. You will find lots of buses every minute. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Visit the temple and have darshan. After darshan, plan your lunch and shopping. Then head to Kadai-Veedhi or Rockfort temple street which has lots of shops. Spend time in shopping. By 4, head to Ucchipillayar temple or Rockfort Temple. Visit Pallava caves before you start to climb up incase if you are interested to see. Then start climbing and in few minutes you will first see Thayumanasamy temple and then head to top. Plan to spend time till sunset and see the city. It is very beautiful sighting and breeze will be good as well at this height. These three temples are the main / key places to visit in Trichy.<br />
<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Reaching Trichy</u></h3>
From Bangalore, there is just one train Mysore-Mayiladuthurai express (Train No: 16232/16231). But very difficult to reserve a seat (other train is only on Mondays). So try driving 325 Kms (6.5 hours) or catch private or government buses. Limited Flight options are also available direct to Trichy. <br />
<br />
From Chennai, there are multiple trains available. Also buses are available. Limited Flights are also available direct to Trichy. You can also drive which is about 325 Kms and takes about 6.5 hours. <br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u><br /></u></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Route options from Bangalore to Trichy by car</u></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From Bangalore: Drive via Hosur, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Salem. After Salem there are two options as shown below.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A. After crossing Salem and join Namakkal state highway, keep checking for Puthuchatram and Kalangani village. At Kalangani, you need to take the left which goes via Naina Malai. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://www.google.co.in/maps/dir/Salem,+Tamil+Nadu+636001+-+636010/Tiruchirappalli,+Tamil+Nadu/@11.226641,78.1476889,10z/am=t/data=!3m1!4b1!4m24!4m23!1m15!1m1!1s0x3babf1ccf52cba0b:0xee9989007068ca47!2m2!1d78.1460142!2d11.664325!3m4!1m2!1d78.2066065!2d11.305026!3s0x3babc60be33d8917:0x9d37d3e90ea9e3e6!3m4!1m2!1d78.3232975!2d11.1504897!3s0x3babb50fba3cd995:0xa1e212eea9f377ed!1m5!1m1!1s0x3baaf50ff2aecdad:0x6de02c3bedbbaea6!2m2!1d78.7046725!2d10.7904833!3e0" target="_blank">Follow this in Google maps</a> which is very good road and less traffic compared to the one which goes via Musiri (bad road and lots of Sand lorries). Note: This goes via Thuraiyur road and very scenic drive. Also you get to see Naina Malai Varadharaja temple. You will avoid Namakkal city and traffic and you can save time.<br />
<br />
B. After crossing Salem, keep going till Namakkal. After entering inside Namakkal and right after the Bus stand, look for "Thuraiyur Road" on left side. Take that. I suggest avoid "Musiri / Thottiyam" road as it is bad and too many sand lorries are using this road. <a href="https://www.google.co.in/maps/dir/Namakkal,+Tamil+Nadu/Tiruchirappalli,+Tamil+Nadu/@11.004254,78.3005483,11z/data=!4m19!4m18!1m10!1m1!1s0x3babce5e3f22014f:0xa0ab89ef32c34a77!2m2!1d78.1677236!2d11.2194391!3m4!1m2!1d78.4266197!2d11.1312603!3s0x3babb327b8fd9f49:0xc33f168880c6404b!1m5!1m1!1s0x3baaf50ff2aecdad:0x6de02c3bedbbaea6!2m2!1d78.7046725!2d10.7904833!3e0?hl=en" target="_blank"><b>Check the route from Google map here.</b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once you reach Tolgate which is the entry point to Trichy from Salem, use may want to use the Bypass to reach central bus stand instead of going inside the city. </div>

<u>Tips to visit other places</u> </h3>
There

<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>About Aihole and History</u></h3>
Aihole, located in North Karnataka a small village near the banks of River Malaprabha. Aihole is the cultural capital during the period of Western Chalukya dynasty of Badami between 543-757 CE.<br />
<br />
The name Ayyavolal is derived from Aryavolal or Aryapura (valley of elders). Village people call this as Aivalli or Aiholli. There is also a story behind the name, those days Parashurama, after killing Kshatriyas, washed his axe in Malaprabha river and the river turned red in color. Hence people exclaimed "Ai Holi" Ai the river, and hence the name is Aiholi.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Important Places to see in Aihole and covered in this Blog are</u></b></h3>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>1. Durga Gudi Temple Complex<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>2. Lad khan Temple and a Stone ladder<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>3. Ravalaphadi Cave Temple<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>4. Jain Cave Temple<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>5. Huchchimalli Temple Complex<br />
6. Museum (you can get the free brochure here and also buy the ASI guide booklet)<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Tips to plan and visit the places in Aihole</u></b></h3>
For all the above places it takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. For the road to Cave temples take help from locals or from a guide. You can ask for a guide and they just charge about Rs.300 for all the places in Aihole alone.<br />
<br />
This can be planned along with Hampi/Badami visit. Refer my respective blogs for all details.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Stay options, Food options</u></b></h3>
I suggest you buy and have the Tender coconut and Bananas here. They also sell the Bajra (Pearl millet) Buttermilk but they sell it on used bottles and may not be fresh as well, which is a concern. Carry snacks or food along with you. Water bottles you can buy here. For good food, visit Badami.<br />
<br />
You can stay at Badami. Refer my other Badami blog for details.<br />

<u><b>About Sandur</b></u></h3>
Sandur (Sanduru in local language), is located near Hampi in North Karnataka. Though you can visit this place any time of the year, just after rains in September, it would be so beautiful to see this place. Like in Mars(I seen in movie :-)), there is a red dust elsewhere due to mining. I suggest you choose this place as a stay option for your Hampi visit which is very close. Just 40Kms from here and there is a cemented road so you can reach in 35 to 40 minutes.<br />
<br />
The following places in Sandur are covered in this blog post:<br />
1. Shiva Vilas Palace Hotel<br />
2. Shri Kumaraswmay Temple<br />
3. Narihalla Reservoir and Dam<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Shri Kumaraswamy Temple</u></b></h3>
One of the oldest temple built by Chalukya rulers about thousand years back. This seem to have disappeared inside Swamimalai forest. The Ghorpade kings found this site and restored. Check photos below. This temple is mainly dedicated to Lord Murugan (son of Lord Shiva). Kumara means younger child.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Shiva Vilas Palace Hotel</u></h3>
Great Staff and a heritage Palace hotel with all amenities to relax and spend time peacefully, what else you need. I strongly suggest this place as a stay option for your Hampi Visit. Refer my Hampi blogpost for planning, details and photos of Hampi. Getup early morning and have sumptuous breakfast at Palace and carry snacks provided in your room, visit all the places in Hampi. Reach back by late evening and have a Spa to relieve from your tiredness, long walk.<br />
<br />
Built in 1942 by Shrimant Sarkar Maharaj Yeshwantrao Hindurao Ghorpade over 20 acres of land. Very beautiful Palace in the middle of Sandur town surrounded by hills on all sides. Mahatma Gandhi visited this place once and he suggested to visit this place in September. Yes, right after the rains during September, Sandur will look awesome. But you can visit anytime of the year.<br />
<br />
Look at their website for facilities: <a href="http://shivavilaspalacehotel.com/facilities/" target="_blank">http://shivavilaspalacehotel.com/facilities/ </a><br />
<br />
Inside the Palace, there is a big Swimming pool, Steam and Spa, Vintage Car Museum, Antique collection in Durbar hall museum, Indoor activity Room (my kids never wanted to come out from here), Cycles, Free WiFi, Board room...etc. The list goes on. You never need to go out for anything. Just check-in and relax like a King.<br />
<br />
There is also Bar cum Billiards room where you can see animal trophies. You can play. Inside activity room which is air conditioned, they have chess, carrom, table tennis, playstation, TV, blah blah....so many things to play. Not only Kids, even we can play for the whole day and relax. There is also a Library with very rare collection of Old books. You can spend lots of time reading these books sitting under the trees. Awesome right? All very rare collection of books.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Pudukkottai Maharaja gifted a beautiful bronze statue of Shri Meenakshi to this Maharaja, and it decorates the central courtyard of the palace. Look closely on the intricate work. Very beautiful and rare piece. Sandur Kushala Kala Kendra - If you like to see the embroidery work by local people. you can enquire with staff and visit. You can also buy the items.<br />
<br />
Check the photos below. A perfect stay option for your Hampi visit. <b><u><a href="https://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g3442105-d3423669-r365370796-Shivavilas_Palace_Hotel-Sandur_Karnataka.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT" target="_blank">Read my review of this Palace in tripadvisor - </a></u></b><a href="https://www.tripadvisor.in/ShowUserReviews-g3442105-d3423669-r365370796-Shivavilas_Palace_Hotel-Sandur_Karnataka.html#CHECK_RATES_CONT" target="_blank"><b>Shiva Vilas Palace Hotel </b></a><br />

<b><u>Bird photography</u></b></h3>
<br />
This palace has lots of trees and you get to see variety of birds in early morning and late evenings. See photos below.<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b><u>Planning your visit to Sandur/Hampi and nearby places and my Blogposts</u></b></h3>
Refer my blogpost on Hampi, section " Planning your Hampi and Nearby places visit" for all details.<br />
Link is given here. <br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<u>Narihalla Reservoir and Dam </u></h3>
Forested hills on both sides and deep gorges, Wov what a view. Almost for a kilometer this scenery come along your way on your roadside. Being narrow you might find it difficult to pullover your vehicle for taking photos. Yes, unfortunately I was in rush to reach palace on the day of arrival and visit the temple, I could not stop and take pictures. But a very beautiful scenery.<br />
