Just came across the Incredible India tourism commercial for 2009. Check it out :



Y'know, it's crazy how much beauty this one country offers. Even after traveling around so much of it, I've only experienced about a quarter of the things in this ad.

I havent been able to travel much this year. I really need to get back on that wagon, but work and the extra responsibilities I've taken on have ultimately often resulted in me deciding against it.

Still, there's a lot of places here that I havent seen, and hope to check out one day.

Ah Incredible India.

For the weekend, Richard, Phil and I figured we'd swing by Kerala.

It turned out be an amazing and very beautiful place ! We spent Day One lazying around on a Houseboat slowly cruising down Kerala's Backwaters , while the crew waited on us, hand and foot. And Day Two on Varkala Beach, which in my opinion, is one of the best beaches that I've seen in India !

I took a ton of pictures with my Nokia N82 along the way. Check them out, after the jump.


Like I said earlier, we spent Day One on a houseboat, drifting along Kerala's Backwaters.

270920083801 - Share on Ovi

It was so incredibly peaceful ! I cant even describe it. Our cook was great, our Houseboat was HUGE, had continuous electricity, hot water and even Satelite TV (Which we never switched on!). Literally the only thing missing, for geeky ol'me, was WiFi ! Haha. Definitely a must-do, when in India.



Day Two, was even more eventful. We hung around the Houseboat a couple hours in, until it was time for us to leave, then took a couple buses to Varkala. A couple hours later, there we were at Varkala Beach .

270920083912 - Share on Ovi



I just gotta say, this is one of the best beaches I've seen in India. The view from the Cliff overhead, is breathtaking. To add to that, the beach is kept very clean , same for the water. Yet another amazing place. And the fun doesnt stop when the sun goes down. Varkala beach also has an amazing nightlife with its hundreds of restaraunts and cafes dotted along the cliff.

After going from Jaipur to Agra, and then to Varanasi, I was pretty much lovin North India. Finally it was time to get back, so we caught a train from Varanasi and chilled in Bombay (now known as "Mumbai") for a day, on the way back.

We reached Bombay late evening. Nothing much to do so David and I headed straight to my Sister's house to stay for the next 2 nights, before catching our train back to Manipal.

I've always loved Bombay. Its the place that I called Home for a couple of years. Many awesome memories in this city.

We only had one actual "day" of being in Bombay sadly. Apologies to my friends whom I couldnt meet ! We were really pressed for time.

After Jaipur and Agra, the 3rd stop on my Trip to North India, was Varanasi.

060920083189 - Share on Ovi


Varanasi is a city situated on the left (west) bank of the River Ganga (Ganges) in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, regarded as holy by Hindus, Buddhists and Jains, and one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world.
The culture of Varanasi is closely associated with the River Ganges and the river's religious importance. The city has been a cultural and religious centre in northern India for several thousand years.


We reached pretty late in the afternoon so there wasnt much we could do on day one, other than check out a Night Ritual at a Varanasi Ghat.

050920083137 - Share on Ovi

Day two was more eventful. We woke up at Dawn to catch our Boat ride down the Ganges. An amazing way to start the day.

Unfortch I fell ill for the second half of the day, so the guys I was travelling with, left me along in my Hotel room. I made it out for a brief walk though.

060920083268 - Share on Ovi

Day Three of Varanasi was the least eventful unfortunately. I was pretty ill so I confined myself to our Hotel Room, while the other people I was traveling with went around.

Got a couple morning pictures from our Hotel's rooftop restaurant before catching our Train to Bombay.


The place is definitely amazing.

After Jaipur, the second stop on my North India Trip, was Agra.

030920082862 - Share on Ovi

Agra is a medieval city situated on the banks of the river Yamuna in India. Its a city I've heard about ever since I was a kid. The Taj Mahal,The Baby Taj, the Agra Fort. So many things to see here.I took a ton of pics with my Nokia N82. Read on to check them out.


Agra has so many amazing medieval buildings to look at, its insane. Its like Disneyland for a photographer, really. Some of the more Touristy spots were :

The Taj Mahal :

Since we reached Agra at about 5am, we checked into our Hotel and headed straight to the Taj Mahal to catch it at Dawn and beat the Tourist crowd.

030920082431 - Share on Ovi

Agra's Taj Mahal is one of the most famous buildings in the world, the mausoleum of Shah Jahan's favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It is one of the New 7 Wonders of the world, and one of three World Heritage Sites in Agra.

It was really amazing. Not sure how to describe it as it is something that I've seen pictures of since I was little and now all of a sudden I have pics of myself in front of it.

I learned that there were guest rooms outside that anyone could stay in and that Shah Jahan was working on a Black Taj for himself on the other side of the river, but his son Aurangzeb imprisoned him in the middle, so it was never complete. His daughter then decide to bury him next to his wife, which broke the symmetry of the place. All the rest is completely symmetrical, hence why there is an identical building opposite the mosque that wasn't used. The one on the west is the mosque because it is in the direction of Mecca. Also, the script on the Taj, which is from the Koran, gets larger higher up to make it appear to be the same size.

The place is amazing. Words really cant describe it. Corny as that may sound.





The Agra Fort :

030920082684 - Share on Ovi

The Agra fort is massive. It was built in the 15th century by the 3rd Mughal ruler and is where Shah Jahan, the fifth, was imprisoned/under house arrest by his 3rd son, Aurangzeb for 8 years until he died. Aurangzeb was upset as his older brother was to inherit the throne, so he killed the 2 older and next younger brothers so that he could. There were 14 children total and the wife died while giving birth.

There were great views back to the Taj from the fort.





The Tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah (The Baby Taj) :


030920082795 - Share on Ovi


Empress Nur Jehan built Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb, sometimes called the Baby Taj, for her father, Ghias-ud-Din Beg, the Chief Minister of Emperor Jahangir. Located on the left bank of the Yamuna river, the mausoleum is set in a large cruciform garden criss-crossed by water courses and walkways.

The walls are white marble from Rajasthan encrusted with semi-precious stone decoration.Many of Nur Jahan's relatives are interred in the mausoleum. The only asymmetrical element of the entire complex is that the cenotaphs of her father and mother have been set side-by-side.




The Tomb of Akbar the Great


040920083060 - Share on Ovi


On day two of our Agra trip, we headed to Akbar's Mausoleum after breakfast.

Akbar's tomb reflects the completeness of his personality. The vast, beautifully carved, red-ochre sandstone tomb with deers, rabbits and langoor monkeys is set amidst a lush garden.

Akbar himself planned his own tomb and selected a suitable site for it. To construct a tomb in one's lifetime was a Tartary custom which the Mughals followed religiously. Akbar's son Jahangir completed the construction of this pyramidal tomb in 1613.

The place was almost as peaceful as the Taj Mahal, really.






Honestly, I had an amazing time in Agra. I think its officially one of my favourite places in India.

Over the next couple of days I'm going to try and upload all my pictures from my North India trip. All shot on my Nokia N82.

Our first stop in North India, was Jaipur.

010920082151 - Share on Ovi

Jaipur, also called "The Pink City", is the capital city of the state of Rajasthan in India. Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, a Kachwaha Rajput, who ruled from 1699-1744. Initially his capital was Amber (city), which lies at a distance of 11kms from Jaipur. He felt the need of shifting his capital city with the increase in population and growing scarcity of water. Jaipur is the first planned city of India and the King took great interest while designing this city of victory.


We saw some pretty interesting sights here. Some very stereotypical images of India.

Some of the more touristy sights were :-



The Jantar Mantar :

010920082051 - Share on Ovi

The Jantar Mantar was built in 18th century by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the huge masonary instruments were used to study the movement of constellations and stars in the sky. Enormous sun-dial still provide accurate time.



The Jaipur City Palace :

010920082134 - Share on Ovi

Situated in the heart of the old City, it occupies about one seventh of the old city area.

The palace is a blend of Rajput and Mughal architecture, it houses a Seven storeyed Chandra Mahal in the centre, which affords a fine view of the gardens and the city. Diwan-E-Am (Hall of public audience) has intricate decorations and collection of manuscripts, Diwan-E-Khas (Hall of private audience) has a marble pawed gallery Mubarak Mahal has a rich collection of costumes and textiles. There is a Clock Tower near Mubarak Mahal. Sileh Khana has a collection of armory and weapons. It has now been converted into a Museum.



The Hawa Mahal :

IMG_3063 - Share on Ovi

Built in 1799, by Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh,it is the most recognizable monument of Jaipur. The 5 storied stunning semi-octagonal monument having 152 windows with over hanging latticed balconies is a fine piece of Rajput architecture. Originally designed for the royal ladies to watch and enjoy the processions and other activities, on the street below. Now it houses a museum.




Temple of the Sun God at Galta :

010920082235 - Share on Ovi

A steady 200m climb through a rocky barren gorge leads you to the Temple of the Sun God, also known as "The Monkey temple". The view of Jaipur from the top is amazing.



Jaipur was honestly, a very interesting, but tiring city. The heat was a little too intense for me. I think I spent a fortune on liquids to keep me from dehydrating. It wasnt my favourite place that I've been to, but I still loved being there. Jaipur is definitely an experience.


Do feel free to check out the albums. Like I said earlier, all pictures were taken with a Nokia N82 :

And so … our sojourn to the beautiful hill station of Ooty has already come to a close. The guys and I arrived back here in Manipal late Sunday night. It took me all of yesterday to recover from the travelling around.

160820081543 - Share on Ovi

Ooty, short for Ootacamund, is a popular hill station located in the Nilgiri Hills in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It stands at an approximate height of 7,440 feet (2,268 m) above sea level.The landscape is marked by rolling hills and plateaus covered with dense vegetation, tea gardens, and eucalyptus trees. The place is just amazing. I took a ton of pictures, all with my N82.

160820081633 - Share on Ovi

Along the way I picked up a fun souvenir from our trip. A crazy lion-thingy statue. I was totally charmed by the beauty in Ooty. Its really a pretty calm, beautiful little town. We had a blast.

170820081655 - Share on Ovi

But now I'm home again … I get to enjoy the week here in Manipal until I travel to Kerala this weekend for another trip. Maybe. Not 100% sure if I'll be upto it though.

After going to the Chaturmukha Basadi Jain Temple, the Statue of Gomateshwara and the Savirakambha Basadi temple of a thousand Pillars , we went to a place called "Kudremukh" for our final destination of the Sunday trip. The Hanumangundi Waterfall.

27072008972 - Share on Ovi



This is a waterfall thats well hidden from the world. You need to climb down over 200 feet into the thick jungles of western ghats to get this. There are very few photographs of this waterfall.

27072008975 - Share on Ovi

Although nowhere are huge as Jog Falls, the Hanumangundi Waterfall is definitely more exciting, with you being able to get incredibly close to the waterfall. And incredibly wet. You can see how close I was in the following videos :






I was also particularly happy because I managed to get a great shot of me and a monkey !

27072008984 - Share on Ovi

W00t ! You can check out the pictures (all taken by my Nokia N82) over on my Facebook album or below, on my Share on Ovi account which includes two very awesome close up videos I took of the waterfall with my N82 :

After visiting the Chaturmukha Basadi and the amazing statue of Gomateshwara ( Btw kudos to Matt for actually being able to pronounce it on yesterday's vidcast, Hehe) , we headed off to see the "Savirakambha Basadi" also known as "The temple of a thousand Pillars" (which is SO much more pronouncable) in a place called Moodabidri. Once again, all pictures were taken by my Nokia N82.

27072008910 - Share on Ovi

Moodabidri, sometimes described as the Varanasi of the jains, has 18 Jain basadis, although jains themselves are a minority population in the Dakshina Kannada district. This place consists mainly of followers of the Digambar sect; the most famous among them is the 1000 pillared Chandranatha Basadi popularly known as "Savirakambha Basadi".


27072008891 - Share on Ovi

The uniqueness is that no two pillars are identical. The devotees under the directions of the local ruler at that time - Devaraja Wodeyar of Nagamangala, built this in 1430 A.D. Figures of giraffes and Chinese dragons have been carved on sections of the Temple indicating the trade with Africa and China by the Jain Merchants of the time. The Temple is also called Hosa Basadi since the relief of the Temple always appears as "Hosa" which means new.

27072008882 - Share on Ovi

This has a powerful presence in the center of the Moodabidri. Three mandapas lead to the main sanctuary. These mandapas have a series of sloping tiered roofs, adapted to the heavy monsoon rainfall of the region. The main entrance, which faces east, opens into a superb monolithic pillar (mana-stambha) in front of the main doorway. The temple has a valuable collection of metal, jewel carved images of Jain tirthankars.

27072008880 - Share on Ovi

Unfortunately, photography wasnt allowed in this temple.But after travelling this far, I really really wanted to take a few pictures of the place and I honestly hope I do not offend anyone in posting it up here. So whatever pictures you see here, are all unfocussed spy shots with the N82 on Landscape mode.Unfortunately, you cant turn off the camera sound in the Asian N82, like you can in the European Models. Or the red led for that matter. So it made taking spy shots, a lot more harder. You can view them on my Facebook Album or below, on my Share on Ovi account :

Number two of the four awesome but unpronounceable places I visited last Sunday. First was the Chaturmukha Basadi. Second was the Gomateshwara Statue at Karkal. Again ,all pictures were taken on my Nokia N82.

27072008867 - Share on Ovi

Gomateshwara (The Calm Stone) : Legend has it ,Bahubali or the “ one with strong shoulders” was a local prince who fought his brother Bharata and won the kingdom. Having done so,he was overwhelmed by both the enormity and the futility of the desire for material wealth - a pursuit that sets brother against brother. He gave it all up for meditation and prayer. This went on for 12 long years and even the surrounding creepers had grown around him. In his honour, the ruler at that time Veerapandya Bhairava Raja built this temple and statue.


27072008865 - Share on Ovi

It was completed on 13.02.1432. The statue is 42 feet 12.6 meters in height and was engraved from a single stone at the foot of the hill on which the temple stands. It was carried up the crest by a forty-wheeled vehicle. In 1907, 212 steps (182 are continuous) were cut into the rock face of the hill leading up to the Temple.

27072008857 - Share on Ovi

A stone pillar, Brahma Stambha, and holy stone or Kshetrapalaka stand in front of the Temple as protectors. Two steps cut into this holy stone commemorate a Jain Muni or holy man who died during the building stage.

27072008873 - Share on Ovi

A festival in Bahubali’s honour is held every 12 years and is called the Maha Masthakaabhisheka. It is held for 9 days. The 10-hour ceremony that is estimated to attract over 30 lakh devotees, involves priests climb hundreds of steps leading to the top of monolith, the 2nd largest in the world, and emptying hundreds of pots of tender coconut, sugarcane juice, milk, rice flour, turmeric paste, kashaya (a herbal concoction), shrigandha (sandal paste), chandana (coloured sandal paste), ashtagandha (eight varieties of sandal paste), saffron, gold and silver flowers, precious stones and finally a shower of flowers, all onto the Statue.

Well yesterday turned out pretty interesting. Me and the guys decided to travel to various places which were comparatively nearby when you consider my other travels.

Over the next four days I'll be posting about the 4 places we visited.All pictures were taken by my Nokia N82. First up is the Chaturmukha Basadi.

The Chaturmukha Basadi is a famous Jain temple, situated on a rocky hill at Karkala in Udupi District of Karnataka. Consecrated by Vir Pandya deva, the king of Bairarava family in 1432, the basadi was completed in 1586. It is built in the form of a square mandapa or hall, with a lofty doorway and pillared portico on each of its four sides. Since four identical doorways in four directions lead to the Garbhagriha, it is called Chaturmukha Basadi.





The Temple was pretty amazing. Everything carved out of stone. It reminded me a lot of the temples I saw in Hampi.

27072008842 - Share on Ovi


The roof is flat and is made of huge granite slabs. In the Garbhagriha, one can see the standing statues of Ara, Malli, and Suyrata. Besides these, the images of the 24th Tirthankar and Yakshi Padmavati can also be found.

27072008843 - Share on Ovi

There are a total of 108 pillars inside and outside the temple.

Since the monsoon season was in full swing over here, we figured it was the best time to see Jog Falls yesterday.

So we thought anyway.

During the monsoon season, you can see a lot of small waterfalls on the way here. But, as we found out later,the best time to visit this place is August-September.Although the journey is very long, its pretty enjoyable due to the constant sight of waterfalls of varied heights. Although if you're not into the aforementioned sights ,you'll be bored out of your skull untill you reach there.

We took a bus from Udipi to a town called "Sagar" (pronounced " Sag-ra " ) from which we were supposed to catch the bus to Jog Falls.

The bus personnel told us it'd take 4 hours to get to Sagar (which turned out to be 6 hours) and 30mins from Sagar to Jog Falls (which turned out to be an hour and a half). Do they use a different method to measure time here or something ?

This is where our bad luck started. I've always said Andre bought us bad luck while travelling because whenever he's along with us , the bus/train/airplane breaks down :P . But i was kidding. BUT I WAS RIGHT ! The bus brokedown in the middle of nowhere at one point. We had to wait for about an hour in this crazy little town in the middle of nowhere before the breakdown bus arrived.

Seven and a half tiring hours later we reached the mighty Jog falls. Its pretty cool to watch the spectacle of the river sharavati taking a leap at a height of about 292 M.There are 4 distinct falls - Raja, Rani, Rocket & Roarer. These names are assigned owing to the distinct characteristics of the falls.

Raja : dignified and serene fall

Rani : Winding and twisting fall like that of the female dances

Roarer : This stream appears out of a mass of rocks making a lot of noise

Rocket : Consists of large volume of water streaming out of a small opening at a high speed.


I had heard earlier from someone that the falls would be a big disappointment.I kind of agree. But its mostly because we caught it at the wrong season. We were totally wrong in assuming that the falls would be in full swing right now because the rainy season's begun.

We spent some time running around enjoying the falls and went around monkeying there with the various viewing spots they have created ,although they have shut off the way which leads to the base of the falls for now which was a huge disappointment.

I heard that there is a point where the sharavati river actually converts into a fall and it is a mindblowing experience to go to this point and that we can literally experience the whole mass of water tumbling down with a big noise. Unfortch , we couldnt check it out because we were way way behind schedule and had to book our Taxi's back to Manipal asap. Noway ,were we going to take a bus back after what we went through in the morning.

After booking the Taxis, we were all a little hungry. The driver told us that there were not many options other than the KTDC (Karnataka Tourist Development Corp) where we could have nice south indian food.So we headed to Sagar in the Taxis for dinner at some random restaurant. The food was okay. My french fries and Masala Papad were burnt beyond recognition though.

There was not much we could do here so started for our next destination , Home ! 5 hours later , we were back in good ol'Manipal . I should mention that our "Andre Bad Luck" made the taxi suffer a tyre puncture TWICE on the way back. Haha you just cant make this shizz up.

Damn i have never been so happy to see this place than i was at that moment lol.

You can check out all the pictures from the trip on My Facebook Album or here :



So Jog Falls..... worth it ? Yup. Just make sure you get a taxi to go there and not a bus. And make sure you catch it at the right season.
