Are you interested to plan for vacations?
Friends, I know what the immediate thought reflected in your minds ,” Lock Down and the minuscule virus (Covid-19) a pandemic, which set the world in to wait &heal situation. A new variants are still in air which cause threat to us inspite of various precautions and being vaccinated on time . The children and teens of age 15 years and above are also introduced to vaccination. The pandemic situation made us distant from the nature and rejuvenation of body. Socializing, working and enjoying are the factors which optimise our lives . Most of us get re-energized, by visiting various places like Islands, climbing rock challenges, paragliding in adventurous spots and visiting international well- known tourist places etc. Let me remember you that India ranked 34th on world travel and tourism competitiveness index.The situation after this pandemic does not promise us that we can plan and enjoy to the fullest.
I visited several places mostly hill stations like Kulu Manali in Himachal Pradesh , Kodaikanal & Kanya-kumari in Tamil Nadu , Kerala back waters and Pondicherry.I personally visited Kanniya kumari along with my family members . It is a town in Kanya-kumari district situated in Tamil Nadu state at Indira point on Great Nicobar Island .It is interesting to know that Vivekananda rock memorial is located at where three oceans meet, Tiruvelluvar waterfalls are also located. We can reach Vivekananda rock memorial place via Ferry journey only.
I visited this place in the year 2016 in the month of March . After reaching we got to go for Sechindram temple where Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara were worshiped . We visited wax wonders mayapuri locally, over there and clicked pics.
Next day in early hours we have been to watch the elegant scene of Sun rise , you will find people capturing Sun rise image with cam recorders and standing on the unlevelled rocks in middle and surrounding with Arabian ocean and Bay of Bengal ocean on either sides.We head on to visit Mukkudal , a place in which three Seas meet. That place is named as Tri-veni Sangamam where Arabian Sea, Indian ocean and Bay of Bengal meet .We can observe water in red, green semi white colours. Locally we have done shopping there ,crossed Nataraj bridge and then in return again after reaching our accommodation we were left to watch Sun set in Kanniya Kumari . The following day was scheduled to go to Madurai.We got in to train to reach Madurai .This place is well known for Meenakshi Amman Koil . As it was long ago I couldn’t mention exactly ,few kilometres from the place one can go to Tirumalai Nair palace. and Museum . Finally , we were on the way back to return train to Chennai.
Kerala is also one such place to visit where one can enjoy back water boat rides and boat house hospitality. The house boat is a special experience there were even double ducker house boats.A fantastic experience to dine on house boat while traveling continuosly and finding tall trees, cool breeze , village houses , withering winds and small talks with friends etc.we can find various medicinal herbs and plants garden there.ie botanical gardens. The very different style of cooking and ingredients they use to prepare dishes mesmerizes us. The visit to tea manufacturing process equipment exhibition is also visit worthy over there. Several tea powders are made available .
In order to travel one must take care to be physically fit , financially sound for few places which demand for their worthiness, choosing people to hangout as per interest & need also matters a lot. I have realized that people visit places with other persons who are just introduced via social media web pages ,it is like travelling with strangers but the one whom we believe to share our joy may also support at times. It definitely depends on ones own interests.
During the days in 2019 it was the time for virtual vacation, the luxuries-themed videos ie 3D tours can help us to get the feel and know about those places just by clicking on the video from home. All we need is a virtual head set to wear and play the videos in VR mode .
