Review of Sea View Lodge, KanyaKumari (Tamil Nadu)

Kanyakumari town hardly needs any introduction because every Indian knows that it is southern most tip of India. KanyaKumari is situated in Tamil Nadu state of India and it is very popular tourist destination in India. Millions of people every year visit Kanyakumari to see southern most tip of India. I also visited Kanyakumari to experience excitement of standing of Southern most tip of India.

I stayed in Sea View Lodge in Kanyakumari which is situated near Kanyakumari beach and it faces famous Vivekananda Rock Memorial and Thiruvalluvar Statue. This is the main attraction of this lodge that you get chance to see famous attractions of Kanyakumari from lodge. Moreover, People can enjoy sun rise from lodge itself. However expect these attractions; this is an average lodge with some comforts missing. I stayed in this lodge for two nights and three days.

I selected this lodge because of its presence on beach; however, I have no idea that other services can be missing in this lodge. The AC of my room was not working and it smelled when I tried to start it. They changed my room and I faced same situation again. Hot water supply was limited and quality of food was average. The only attraction of this hotel is its location and nearness to famous places in Kanyakumari. People can watch Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Thiruvalluvar Statue and Kanyakumari sun rise from their lodge room itself (if you take room facing sea).

However, I felt slightly let down by services offered by them. If people are looking for good view and they want to feel Kanyakumari but they can compromise on services then this lodge is for them. Room rent for rooms in Sea View Lodge is between Rs 3000 to Rs 4000. My rating for this hotel is 6 out of 10 (only because of its good location). For service, I will give only 4 points out of 10.

Pictures of Ooty Hill Station (Tamil Nadu) 1

Recently, I stayed in Ooty (also known Udhagamandalam) for couple of days. It was totally refreshing experience for me and I am very thrilled after my first visit to a South Indian hill station. It is very hard for any person from North India to believe that such beautiful hills can be present in South India. Earlier, whenever I visited South India then I only encountered hot sun. Ooty is one of very famous hill stations of India and it is true from the choice of this hill station for shooting of many films. Ooty and adjoining areas are very rich in natural beauty and any person can think about spending a good vacation in Ooty. Ooty is approximately 100 KM from famous town of Coimbatore which is connected by rail, bus and air from rest of India. This is first set of pictures of Ooty (for second set visit Pictures of Ooty Hill Station (Tamil Nadu) 2 ) and it includes pictures of journey from Coimbatore to Ooty and Famous botanical garden where we can find many rare plants.

Maa Vaishno Devi visit and Pictures

It is always a very great experience to visit Mata Vaishno Devi shrine in J&K and this time also, I am feeling very relaxed and energetic after getting the blessings of Maa Vaishno. Every year, Lakhs of Vaishno Devi devotees come to visit shrine from various parts of India and world. Last year, approximately 85 lakh people visited the shrine to show their respect for Devi Vaishno, all this clearly show the faith of Indian people on the Goddess Vaishno Devi. It is very easy for any person to visit Mata Vaishno Devi and there are multiple options for reaching temple. Devotees are first required to reach katra town which is 52 KM away from Jammu Town. Direct bus services are available to Katra from all major North Indian towns and capital New Delhi. Nearest Railway station and airport are situated in Jammu; though, Katra-Jammu railway line is likely to become operational soon. For visiting shrine, people reach Katra town in J&K from where shrine is just 12 KM away. For reaching te...

Journey to Hill Station Paneu (Paneo) and Naag Temple (Lesser Known Gem of Hills)

 I always love to visit hilltops because they provide the ultimate beauty and adventure. My journeys to Hatu Peak Narkanda ,  Prashar Lake in Mandi , and to the ancient wooden temple of Skhati Devi in Chhatrari  are some of its examples. This time, I got a chance to visit an ancient Naag Temple situated at Paneu (Paneo) hill station where a British rest house is situated. This hill station and Naag temple are situated 7 KM away from Kungash in Anni Tehsil of Kullu. The ancient Naag Temple is situated at walking distance from the main top and gets a chance to walk through the tall (some are around 50 feet of height) deodar (Pine) Trees. The last six-kilometer road to the Paneo is not metaled and it is very narrow at some points accompanied by a steep climb. This area is predominately an apple-growing belt and we can find many apple orchids on the way.  Around the temple, we can find a small pond that gets its water from rain. The temple also resembles the famous Kamro...
