10The lobby of the hotel. The hotel has huge lobby which has a very grand look and feel. The rustic look adds to the charm and takes us back in time. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/photo-9.jpgPhoto 9The new Wing that was inaugurated in the year 1962. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/photo-8.jpgPhoto 8Weather can change in SFO within minute.s. It was by now around 6 in the evening and the clouds started to roll over. What a mesmerizing view it was. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/photo-7.jpgPhoto 7I managed to room and capture the famous "Alcatraz Island"https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/photo-6.jpgPhoto 61 photo capturing the 1907 main building and the relatively modern and new 1962 tower wing. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/photo-5.jpgPhoto 5Simply WOW!!!.. Imagine this as a view from our hotel room. Thats exactly what my friend had for himself. He was put up on the 23rd floor of the new wing overlooking the bay. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/photo-4.jpgPhoto 4The bathrooms had some of the best collect of toiletries. They had some wonderful collection of custom made shampoos, conditioner and Shower gel. I found the Rose fragrance extremely soothing and inviting. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/photo-3.jpgPhoto 3A walk in wardrobe - well did not expect this in Bay area where real estate comes at such a huge price. 2018-11-23T06:40:53+00:00monthlyhttps://planettrekkerblog.com/2018/10/28/a-day-trip-to-angana-the-courtyard-kanakapura-road-bangalore/2018-10-28T16:03:01+00:00monthlyhttps://planettrekkerblog.com/2018/09/28/a-visit-to-halebidu-halebeedu-in-karnataka/https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-132.jpgPhoto 13The detailed carvings all around the temple walls. No wonder this temple took so many years to construct. Can see the amount of dedication each artist would have put into these carvings. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-122.jpgPhoto 12The sculptures that invite you into the shrine. Though damaged, they highlight the level of sophistication in Hoysala architecture. Wonder how they were able to carve out hollow hands in the first place. I would have expected the damaged hands to be carved out as a solid block.https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-113.jpgPhoto 11Carvings that you can find inside the Shrine. It is really unfortunate that these magnificent carvings were damaged by the invaders. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-103.jpgPhoto 10The famous Lathe pillars. Many people are left awestruck as to how these pillars were carved out. Were there any machines like the modern day lathes which were used to crave these concentric rings ?? [Apologies that the photo is not to the desired level. It is pretty dark inside and I was clicking these photos with my mobile phone]https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-93.jpgPhoto 9To polish the granite floors to this level of shine - wonder how they managed it. Also notice the symmetry that they were able to achieve with the pillars. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-83.jpgPhoto 8Check out the level of intricate details that has been carved on the Bull. To imagine that they worked on a single rock and polished it to this level, simply amazing. The Nandi has been cordoned off for good reasons, to prevent miscreants from damaging the Nandi any further. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-73.jpgPhoto 7The monolithic Nandi bulls. Nandi, the great bull which is Shiva's vehicle, is an essential part of a Shaiva temple. The Nandi, is a vast monolith, and measures about twenty feet from the nose to the tail. It is about eleven feet from the hump to the pedestal.https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-63.jpgPhoto 6The multiple layers of carvings. Our guide explained that the band which has lions carved is pretty unique. If you examine them closely, none of the lions resemble the other. You will also find thousands of intricately carved sculptures depicting the Hindu mythological epics "Ramayana" and " Mahabharata " https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-53.jpgPhoto 5Another shot of the temple walls. It would always be a good idea to hire one of the certified guides who can walk you through the entire complex. They do add loads of value as they highlight the rich details that this temple hides. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-43.jpgPhoto 4One cannot help but notice the intricate carvings all around the temple. This temple stood the test of time - endured so many invasions from the kingdoms in the North, yet managed to retain its grandeur and beauty. 2018-09-28T14:14:27+00:00monthlyhttps://planettrekkerblog.com/2018/02/19/bengaluru-to-goa-road-trip-ebook/2018-09-25T05:52:41+00:00monthlyhttps://planettrekkerblog.com/2018/09/19/things-to-do-at-yercaud-coffee-plantation-walk/https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-211.jpgPhoto 21The 45 minutes drive that one needs to take from Yercaud town to reach the estate. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-20.jpgPhoto 20Heading towards our peddle boats. They were in very good condition. The peddles were very smooth and it was very easy to ride them. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-19.jpgPhoto 19Another view of the lake. After boating one can spend sometime fishing by the lake or feeding the fishes. My daughter had a great time feeding the fishes. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-18.jpgPhoto 18The pathway that leads from the Lake towards the plantation. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-17.jpgPhoto 17Finally after a good 4 hours of walk through the plantation, we reached this spot. "Heavens Ledge campsite" is a small resort inside the plantation which has some amazing view of the valley. We spent a good hour soaking in the beautiful landscape. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-161.jpgPhoto 16And thats how Pepper looks like - when they are raw. :)https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-151.jpgPhoto 15The Panaromic view of the valley from the top !!! https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-141.jpgPhoto 14And that's the view that one gets from the top. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-131.jpgPhoto 13One of the big wells that we found inside the plantation. Apparently during monsoon, this well is filled to the brimhttps://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-121.jpgPhoto 12After a 45 minute trek through the plantation, we reached this pit. The guide explained that this was one of the tribal storage pits where they used to hide and store their supplies. The pit is 4 feet in depth and a good 6 feet in diameter. They used to close this pit and leave a marking stone or tree so that they can return and identify where they have stored the items. 2024-08-12T12:04:18+00:00monthlyhttps://planettrekkerblog.com/2018/09/11/drive-from-bangalore-to-yercaud/https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/route-22.jpgRoute 2https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/route-1.jpgRoute 1At the 1st junction after crossing Radisson hotel (on the left), take a left turn and continue following the road to Yercaudhttps://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-111.jpgPhoto 11https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-101.jpgPhoto 10The hair pin bends that you need to negotiate.

An empty well laid road through the mountains is simply amazing !!!https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-71.jpgPhoto 7The woods just got thicker and thicker. Driving through this canopy with your car roof open was heavenly. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-61.jpgPhoto 6Another hairpin bend !! They are way more gentle on the machine as compared to the Ooty hairpin bendshttps://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-51.jpgPhoto 5On the drive towards Yercaud. Weather was just perfect. A sunny day with clear blue skies. There was loads of greenery all around.https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-41.jpgPhoto 4The well laid ghat section. Even though the roads are narrow, the road conditions are excellent. 2024-08-12T12:00:50+00:00monthlyhttps://planettrekkerblog.com/2018/09/04/a-visit-to-the-magneficiant-mysore-palace-also-know-as-amba-vilas-palace/https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-14.jpgPhoto 14The temple that you will find on the way towards the exit.

This area is one of the key attraction in the palace. Notice that none of the tourists are allowed to wear footwear. This keeps the palace floor clean and also prevents any damage to the wooden flooring and floor paintings. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/photo-6.jpgPhoto 6The view of the palace grounds from the hall. 2020-02-29T08:04:00+00:00monthlyhttps://planettrekkerblog.com/2018/08/04/a-day-trip-around-san-francisco-bay-area/https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/photo-23.jpgPhoto 23Welcome to East peak. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/photo-22.jpgPhoto 22The walkway that leads to the cliff where you can get unmatched views of the Pacific ocean and the shoreline.

The lights have taken effect in the valley. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/photo-20.jpgPhoto 20The view from the East peak. A short 10 minutes hike through a trail will bring you to the summit from where you can get a birds eye view of the valley. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/photo-19.jpgPhoto 19The winding roads that take you to the mountain https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/photo-18.jpgPhoto 18The view of the city.

Golden Gate bridge is hidden under the cloud cover on the far right of the photohttps://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/photo-17.jpgPhoto 17The drive from Stinson beach to Mount Tamalpais will take a good 30 minutes. The drive is through the thick woods (huge trees) that the bay area is know for. As you keep ascending, the woods disappear and the grasslands takeover. Took this photo at around 6:30PM. You can see the city at the far left of the photo, the moon rising in the center and the clouds rolling over from the ocean towards the city. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/photo-16.jpgPhoto 16The road leading to the Stinson beach.

You will cross the Tungabhadra river and will find the 4 lane split. This is a 2 lane which goes towards Hubli and the 2 lane from Hubli passes through the village. But you will find many adventure seekers who will be taking the wrong side.https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/photo-13.jpgPhoto 13The windmills just before the city of Chitradurga.

It is one heck of an experience. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/chandigarh-to-dalhousie-161.jpgChandigarh to Dalhousie 16Another couple of hours drive and we were at Dalhousie. This was the view that we were greeted to from our rooms :) . I was spellbound for sometime and just was soaking in the warm sun which was making its way behind the mountains. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/chandigarh-to-dalhousie-151.jpgChandigarh to Dalhousie 15The views just got better and better and we continued our ascend. The mountains provided a vantage point to overlook the fertile plains of Himachal and Punjab. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/chandigarh-to-dalhousie-141.jpgChandigarh to Dalhousie 14The roads wind through the deep gorges and cliffs. The roads were in fairly good shape considering that we were doing the trip during summer. There were patches were the road was not in great condition, but TATA Storme is built for these kinda roads. There were few cars who were struggling, but nothing could stop our 4x4https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/chandigarh-to-dalhousie-131.jpgChandigarh to Dalhousie 13A further 30 minutes drive from Pathankot and we were finally making our ascend. What laid ahead was the "Great Himalayas" . All of us might have seen these majestic mountain ranges on TV or print, but one needs to be in-person to see how huge they are. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/chandigarh-to-dalhousie-121.jpgChandigarh to Dalhousie 12The railway track runs in parallel for a long stretch and we were just lucky to catch one trying to race with us https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/chandigarh-to-dalhousie-111.jpgChandigarh to Dalhousie 11Continuing our drive after our lunch break and heading towards Pathankot.

This houseboat is designed for a gang which would want to hang around on the deck. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/an-airconditioned-house-boat.jpgAn Airconditioned House boatAnother houseboat we found on the way. Note the AC unit neatly tucked over the roof. This looks like a houseboat designed for couple of families. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/houseboats-docked.jpgHouseboats DockedKumarakom Lake resort had their own Houseboats. The houseboats were neatly docked at one end of the resort. We had hired an Air-conditioned houseboat with 2 bedrooms. Since we were the only couple, the other room was locked and empty. They have a very good policy of not mixing families for the sake of economies of scale :)https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/art-work-inside-the-houseboat.jpgArt work inside the houseboatThe room was nicely laid out with paintings highlighting the local culture and tradition. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/art-work-inside-the-houseboat2.jpgArt work inside the houseboat2Portrait of a Kathakali dancer - classical Indian dance-drama performed in Kerala. https://planettrekkerblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/view-from-the-deck-area.jpgView from the deck areaAfter around an hour we started wading through canals.
