On a recent trip to Wayanad, we stayed at:
Hotel Haritagiri
Kalpetta, Wayanad, Kerala
Tel: +91 4936 203145/46/47/48
We checked-in at 04:30 AM on Day 1 and checked-out at 09:00 AM on Day 2 (pretty odd hours and we did cross the 24-hour mark). We asked to be billed for a single day. The person at the front desk […]
It really wasn’t an easy task to get these beauties to pose for a picture!
Shot with my Canon PowerShot SD800IS half-way up the Shravanabelagola hillock.
Mouth watering!

Previously, you saw me jumping around Coonoor here. That was a very self-centred post featuring me, me, and only me. The real beauty of Ooty and Coonoor follows!
The last photograph is ample evidence of The Notary’s perseverance when faced with a challenge. The challenge in this case was to take a clear photograph of the […]

Live observations from the author:
The Lonely Planet guide asks punters not to climb Uluru, as it’s a sensitive site for aboriginals, there’s even a sign from the local aboriginal people asking that tourists respect their wishes and keep off. But oh no, try and stop Mr. Johhny Foreigner with a camera […]
This is the Nandi Bull at Chamundi Hills, Mysore. Quite a picnic spot, some would say. Commonly seen at temples of Lord Shiva across India, it is a custom to seek Nandi’s blessings when you visit the temple.
Delightful photography @ Shruthi Geographic - My only complaint is that she doesn’t post frequently enough.
The past one month has been wonderful - I’ve been on three trips already! It’s a wonderful feeling after an year’s hiatus. There’s nothing more rejuvenating than a great trip with your closest friends.
Here’s where I have been to recently:
Nandi Hills
Bandipur, Ooty, and Coonoor
Chennai (office trip)
Unfortunately, we accidentally deleted the Nandi Hills trip photos. I […]
This week’s theme is “Rooms - From Around The World.” The first two are pretty old - from an era when I did not have a digital camera and instead used a Nikon F65 SLR with the film being developed at GK Vale, MG Road, Bangalore. I subsequently sold the F65 and invested in an […]
This week’s theme is “Birds.” All photos are from my day trip to Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary last March with Sh and “The Notary” and were shot on my Canon PowerShot A95.
Jet-lag!
I’m sexy! Watch out!
Let’s map the territory.
Drop a comment if you loved the issue. Next week’s theme: “Rooms.”
There’s a lot brewing over at the GEO 12.97°N 77.56°E headquarters (temporarily at Room #205). Out came the Tid.bi.ts. Next in line to flow out of the pot is Studio 95 - a weekend publication exhibiting the latest thingamajigs that dared to cross the path of my trusty Canon PowerShot A95 digital camera. Occasionally, you […]
A commendable achievement by Baba Amte at Anandvan is the establishment of special schools for deaf, dumb, and blind children. These kids are indeed special. They have learnt to accept their disabilities, but do not let that fact hinder their creativity and capability. They are happy and content in their little world at Anandvan. They […]
Yep. After a brief hiatus, The G Cam is back - this time bringing you mesmerizing photos from the Kodachadri Mountain Range in the evergreen Western Ghats of beautiful Karnataka. Drop a comment if you like what you see. Handing over to Goutham for the rest of the post.

It happened out of frustration.
My previous and the second-time-in-my-life train journey from Mumbai to Vadodara and back was bad enough, but the 12-hour crowded-and-packed-with-cockroaches train journey from Mumbai to Wardah, followed by the 2.5-hour cramped bus-without-a-suspension journey from Wardah to Warora, was more than enough to test my patience. Reaching Warora, I decided on the […]
It pains me a lot to see animals - both big and small - trapped inside cages and put up as public exhibits. When I say cages, I include aquariums too. Nothing could be as worse for those poor fish than being trapped in a 6 ft x 4 ft x 2 ft glass enclosure, […]
One of the more positive outcomes of my recent trip to Baba Amte’s Anandvan at Warora is the treasure trove of photographs I managed to capture. Anandvan is spread over an area of about 2500-acres! Predictably, it borders the Warora - Nagpur highway. And that means you can’t keep me from venturing out regularly onto […]
Now this is strange. I wrote that I am “Off to Wardah, Maharashtra,” but how am I coming back from Warora, Maharashtra? It’s simple. Our trip itinerary read: Mumbai - Wardah - Warora - Nagpur - Mumbai. Baba Amte’s Anandvan is located in Warora district. I did not know this fact when we left Mumbai.
I […]
We’re off to Anandvan - The Forest of Bliss, Baba Amte’s ashram in Wardah, Maharashtra on a social service program. Wardah is a three-hour drive from Nagpur.
Excerpts from a previous trip report (by another batch) featured on PagalGuy.com
SPJIMR students visited Baba Amte’s Ashram and stayed at Anandvan, with the objective to develop social consciousness and […]
The splendid Taj Mahal Palace & Tower standing majestically opposite to The Gateway of India (not seen in this picture, but see below). We had a buffet lunch here (after we came back from Elephanta Island, tired and ravenous) that set us back by Rs. 1100 a head. But it was worth every rupee spent […]

Western India is famous for a string of rock-cut temples ranging in date from the 2nd century B.C. to the 12th century A.D. Around Bombay alone, one can see within a radius of 20 kms several of them including the Buddhist rock-cut temples of Kanheri and Kondivite and the brahminical caves […]
Your trip to Elephanta Island would be incomplete without a small climb up to Cannon Hill - aptly named because of the cannons strategically perched on top of the hill. The cannons are cleverly camouflaged by the surrounding greenery. In its hey days it must have probably been a very effective weapon in keeping out […]
