Wayanad /Tranquil


Tranquil Resort
Most people visit Wayanad to enjoy its wealth of wildlife and cultural heritage. But since the millennium there is another attraction, a most inviting one, the Tranquil Hideaway. Located within a 400 acre coffee and pepper plantation is a sprawling bungalow with an old world charm. Here the resident director Victor Dey and his wife Jini, offer guests a home stay experience in serene and scenic surroundings. The bungalow itself is very tastefully designed and it reveals the passion that its occupants and owners have for elegant and dignified architecture and the 8 well-appointed guest rooms are very comfortable and named after various spices. There is also an outdoors azure glass tiled swimming pool and an ayurvedic massage centre. The great thing about Tranquil is the warm hospitality. You never get the feeling that you are in a resort, instead you feel that you are staying with a friend who owns a coffee plantation with a lovely house in it. Also Visit - Andaman Tour Packages

The surroundings are equal to the delights of the home stay. You can see coffee bushes, pepper vines, cardamom plants, coconut and banana trees, existing with the flora and fauna of the region. And that's not all. Running across the 400-acre plantation are many tracks ideal for walks and bird watching. If you can brave the ferocious beauty of the tough trails, you must go on a trek. Breathe in the refreshing air, whistle with the wind and carry home timeless memories.

Ooty / Udhagamandalam
Emerald_Lake_Nilgiris
Also referred to as the queen of hill stations, Ooty or Udhagamandalam is situated at a height of 2240 metres. Located in the Nilgiri Mountains, Ooty was developed by the British as a summer retreat in the 19th century. It is famous for its colonial architecture, churches, rolling hills covered with pine and eucalyptus, botanical gardens with over 650 different species of plants, and its tea plantations. The verdant hillsides are decorated with tea gardens and some of the tea grown here rivals that of Darjeeling.

Over the years, Ooty's popularity has grown and it is now the most popular hill station in South India. Interestingly, Ooty still retains many social norms associated with the British Raj. The Ooty Club is very exclusive and well preserved. The building was erected in 1830 and Colonel Sir Neville Chamberlain invented the game of snooker here in 1875.

Ooty is a good place to get away from the heat and dust of the plains. The panoramic views, the botanical gardens, the wind that whips your hair about as you ramble along streets that dip and rise delightfully and pleasing views that surprise you unexpectedly all make Ooty a picturesque and charming holiday destination.
Coonoor, the sister hill-station of Ooty has a slight warmer and drier climate than Ooty, though it is only 17 km away. Situated at a height of 1850 metres, Coonoor is the second largest hill-station in the Nilgiris and like its sister city, it also has old churches, colonial buildings, boarding schools and a golf course. Ooty and Coonoor, attract a large number of Indian tourists in season, and it is best to visit them in the off-season if you want to avoid the crowds and the congestion.

Coimbatore
The rich black cotton soil and good supply of water has resulted in agriculture flourishing in the area around Coimbatore. Cotton is the main crop cultivated here and its sizeable growth has served as a foundation for the establishment of Combatore's successful textile industry. This has entitled it to be called the 'Manchester of South India' and it is also referred to as the 'Cotton City'. The first textile mill was set up in Coimbatore way back in 1888 and now it has over a hundred of them. Coimbatore is also known for its manufacture of various engineering goods, and recently Narain Karthikeyan made his hometown world famous, by being the first Indian to race in Formula One. With its own airport and railway station, Coimbatore is a popular entry and exit point to other parts of South India.

Famous Arts and Craft of Jaisalmer Rajasthan | Handicraft Items

Image
Art and craft, Jaisalmer Rajasthan In a harsh and barren land, Jaisalmer gets its vibrancy from colour. Brilliant reds, blues, yellows and oranges contrasted with startling greens, purples and pinks are worn by men and women, changing the monotony of sand into a riot of colours. The rulers and wealthy merchants of Jaisalmer employed a good number of artisans and craftsmen in various karkhanas and workshops in medieval times. Stone carving, textiles, printing, silverware and wood and metalwork of a sophisticated quality were all produced for the pleasure of the elite. The patrons have long vanished and today the craft survives mostly linked to the rural needs but also because some of it has found its place in the urban market. In Jaisalmer, crafts remain closely linked with the ecology of the desert. Creativity has touched even the simplest and most functional objects. Two things strike you in Jaisalmer, the colour and richness of garments worn both by men and women and th

Gulmarg was originally called 'Gaurimarg' (Gauri, the Fair One, is another name for Parvati). It was renamed Gulmarg, meaning meadow of flowers, by Sultan Yusuf Shah in the 16th century. As the name suggests, Gulmarg is characterized by Rolling Meadows emblazoned with wild flowers through spring and summer; while thick, powder-fine snow covers it in winters. Located 56 kms southwest of Srinagar, Gulmarg was a favourite haunt of the Mughal emperor, Jahangir, who came here to collect plants for his gardens. Gulmarg - Kashmir In the 19th century, British civil servants and soldiers began frequenting it to escape the summer heat of the plains of north India, to hunt and to play golf on its open meadows. By the early 20th century Gulmarg had three golf courses, including one exclusively for women! In summers, the almost two-hours' drive from Srinagar to Gulmarg takes one through fields of maize and rice, gently rising towards the lower slopes of the Pir Panjal rang
