Weekend drive to Sangama Posted on May 25, 2007May 25, 2007 Sangam and Mekedattu are ideal for a day’s getaway from Bangalore. Though the peak of summer is not the right time to head there, we bravehearts decided not to be fazed by the intense heat anyway.

Biking in San Fransisco Posted on December 10, 2010March 16, 2011 My first time to the United States turned out to be a short trip indeed. I only had one destination in my calendar – San Fransisco. A quick trip to Seattle happened too, except that I only saw the interiors of my aunt’s home there 🙂 Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More
Forever Jung! Posted on September 3, 2008September 3, 2008 We had passed this little town called Jung (also written as Jang) on the way to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh and all of us were quite taken in by this quaint and charming little place.

Hastha Shilpa in Manipal has many heritage houses restored to their original form from all over Karnataka. Very unique museum I have ever visited. Note this is in Manipal though. Lot of foreign tourists also visit this place. If you are going to Udupi/Manipal spend some time in Manipal campus where you can see students from all over. More info on Udupi/Manipal at Udupipages.com – they even have one day – three day plans. http://www.udupipages.com/travel/place.html Reply
anit 😉 it is karkala not karkal, btw. (though it has nothing to do with ‘car kala’ or ‘car artistry’). enjoyed the nice article as always. thanks, – s.b. Reply
