Nandi Hills - Let's Decode India #2

Nandi Hills is the topic of this week's Let's Decode India blog. To put it in simple terms, Nandi Hills is just a paradise on Earth. This is a location that should not be missed by everyone. Nandi Hills: Nandi Hills  is an ancient hill fortress built by  Ganga Dynasty and later enlarged and strengthened by Tipu Sultan in southern India, in the  Chikkaballapur district   of  Karnataka   state. It is 10 km from Chickballapur town and approximately 60 km from Bengaluru . The hills are near the town Nandi. In traditional belief, the hills are the origin of the Arkavathy river, Ponnaiyar River, Palar River, Papagni and Penna River. Why special? When I see a sky full of clouds, I always imagine and fantasize about what it would be like to be above them, looking down on them from above. When I learn about this place, it feels like a dream come true for me. And just thinking of seeing the sunrise there makes my heart skip a beat. As a result, I'm dying to go there right now. Best

KANYAKUMARI - Let's Decode India #1

  Why Kanyakumari is my first choice: "Kashmir to Kanyakumari" is a phrase we've heard a lot. Kanyakumari is at the southern tip of the Indian mainland. I'd like to begin with this location and end with Kashmir, which is at the very top. Not only that, but there's another compelling reason to begin with this location. Let's get started. What's special about Kanyakumari: Kanyakumari is a seaside location where we can see both sunrise and sunset. We can also observe both the sunset and the rising moon from the same beach. Is there anything more we require? What's not to miss: (Top 5) #1. Kanyakumari beach (Cape Comorin)  Kanyakumari sea is located at the confluence of the Indian ocean , Arabian sea and Bay of Bengal . It will be a pure bliss to stand at the edge of the country and look at this place where all the three oceans meet. An another great thing is that we can witness both the sunset and moonrise at a same time on a full moon day. #2. Thiruvallu

Fiji - A Happy Place

  FIJI is the next place I want to talk about, the place which is more intriguing and interesting. Fiji is an island country in Melanesia, part of Oceania in the South Pacific Ocean . Fiji is considered as one of the Happiest place anyone can visit. Wherever we go we got to see happy faces welcoming us. The people there are beautiful in and out.  WHY INTERESTING From the point we enter Fiji we can regularly see people greeting with word  BULA which implies wishes for continued good health. I consider this very interesting.  Fiji has a significant number of soft  coral reefs , and  scuba diving  is a common tourist activity.  Fiji's main attractions to tourists are primarily white sandy beaches and aesthetically pleasing islands with all-year-round tropical weather. In general, Fiji is a mid-range priced holiday/vacation destination with most of the accommodations in this range. MY VIEW The main motto of a vacation is to have peace and to be happy. I feel this place will bring so m

CAROLINE ISLAND - A place which has to be visited soon. (Victim of climate change)

  Today I was just writing something in my diary and I happened to see the world map in it. When I was looking them I noticed something new, which is the Caroline Island. Then I started searching about the place and some of the things were very intriguing. So this blog is about Caroline Island. WHY INTRIGUING Caroline Island  is the easternmost of the uninhabited  coral atolls  which comprise the southern  Line Islands  in the central  Pacific Ocean  Republic of  Kiribati . Caroline Island has remained relatively untouched and is one of the world's most pristine  tropical  islands,  despite   guano   mining,  copra   (coconut meat) harvesting, and human habitation in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is home to one of the world's largest populations of the   coconut crab   and is an important breeding site for   seabirds , most notably the   sooty tern . WHY THIS PLACE HAS TO BE VISITED SOON As Caroline Island only extends six meters above sea level, it is in danger as  sea lev
