Rameshwaram

A long awaited road trip from my village to Rameshwaram along the East Coast Road with my brothers. The roads were in good condition, but the scenery around was so dry and boring.

Our plan was to stay at South Kathadi and try some water sports with them. Met my brothers friend in Rameshwaram and he acted us our guide.

Our trip to Dhanushkodi was quite disappointing when we were not allowed to enter the well built roads to reach there. Rather we had to board the vans who charged a huge amount for a round trip. We were pushed in a van with some 14 other people. Over crowded.

Even then we did not get to the see the lands end. So disappointing. Will have to visit there once again sometime.

Reached the resort and met few cool guys there. Had a few interesting conversations with them. They taught me how to star gaze and took some time lapse photos of the stars in the sky. Check out their blog.

Next day morning we started out with kayaking. We took around two hours to reach back. Kayaking in the sea was the best thing that happened in Rameshwaram. I got sun burnt.

Innovative Film City

This trip was with my two beautiful cousins, when they had come to Bangalore for their summer vacation.

Tribal Museum

This museum was a piece of art. It had some artistic photogenic models.

Haunted Mansion

Even though we entered confident, the dim lighting and the models did wreck our confidence a bit.

Fossil Museum



Petting Zoo

Had few goats, cows, hens, pigeons. For a village kid like me it is so normal to feed this animals. Its daily affair in my hometown. I don't know what I expected when I entered in. To feed a lion.





Magic show



Mirror maze

A maze of mirrors. You enter through the entrance and you are lost in the reflections in the maze. We did put our effort to come out, but found our way out through the same way we entered in. Busted.

Aqua Kingdom

Kids wanted to enter that bleaching powder smelling over crowded pond. Wasn't that attractive to the adults.

Cartoon City

One can only find the cartoons at the entrance. Then the city is lost.
