Day 2...Exploring the Sacred City of Anuradhapura
This sacred city was established around a cutting from the 'tree of enlightenment', the Buddha's fig tree, brought there in the 3rd century B.C. by Sanghamitta, the founder of an order of Buddhist nuns. Anuradhapura, a Ceylonese political and religious capital that flourished for 1,300 years, was abandoned after an invasion in 993. Hidden away in dense jungle for many years, the splendid site, with its palaces, monasteries and monuments, is now accessible once again.

Baku -Capital city of Azerbaijan -The City of Winds is the architectural love child of Paris and Dubai with plenty of Soviet genes floating half hidden in the background.As you take a short stroll through the streets of Baku (we went there a week after the Azerbaijan F1-which is a street race and the race enthusist me tracked the entire circuit in a Merc van 😊by a equally enthused driver ) One will be amazed by the beautiful contrast between the city's architectural styles. On our way from the airport our driver took us to a vantage point , where we had a panoramic view of the entire city. From the Flame Tower ,Carpet Museum ,Maiden Tower ,Heydar Aliyev Center,Crescent Project, Old City and finally Deniz Mall designed very similar to Sydney Opera by the waterfront boulevard.

Monsoon Vacation Series - Location 1

No prize for guessing this , has to be my home town in Malabar ,Kerala

KANNUR - LAND OF LOOMS & LORES

Kannur is situated on the Northern most tip of Kerala , part of the Malabar region , which boasts of a long shoreline with serene beaches, tranquil stretches of emerald backwaters, lush hill stations and exotic wildlife .The unexplored landscape and culture of the Malabar Coast became accessible to tourists with the launch of Kannur International Airport in 2018.

Kannur is most renowned for the Theyyam performances in its temples. This magnificent art form plays an integral part in the culture of this Northern Kerala district. Formerly known as Cannanore, Marco Polo christened it a ‘Great Emporium Of Spice Trade’. Kannur has, since time immemorial, been hailed as an influential sea port. To me , this is one among the best places in Kerala to spend your vacation in.

Experiences :

1)Drive your car at Muzhappilangad Beach - This beach is the longest Drive-In Beach in Asia.

2) Pythal Mala, a heavenly hill station ,perched at an altitude of 4500 ft, creates an ambience similar to the Western highlands. Located in Kannur district, it is a trekker’s paradise.

3)Watch the ritualistic Sri Muthappan Theyyam at Parassinnikadavu Muthappan Temple.

4) An early morning drive to the Old Harbour at Aayikkara , when the fishing boats arrive ,is a sight to behold.

Stay Options : From Beach Resorts , Beach Homes , Home Stays , Kannur has it all .

Accessibility : Well connected by flight from all parts of India & major Gulf regions . Bangaloreans are blessed to drive to Kannur through the scenic Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary in under 6Hrs.

Chasing the monsoon blues away with these vacations , which will refresh your mind , cleanse your soul & cool your heart.

Let me start with Kerala , the place i was born , the place which hold precious memories of my obsession with rains & water bodies. Few of which being ,fishing with a muslin cloth in the narrow muddy back roads (Called "Eda vazhi" in Malayalam") which during monsoons become miniature water ways ,collecting the gleaming small fish into Horlicks bottles & carefully dropping them into our home well . Another time , grandmom dresses me up in a pretty new frock & takes me along to visit our relatives. Most ancestral Kannur homes are placed in the center of large land with coconut & other fruit trees or facing paddy fields. And these large land parcels are portioned as square terraces , so that rain water is retained back to mother earth (Rain water harvesting as we know of it now !!!) As we walked through these small mud boundaries ,I let go of my grandmom's hand & dived straight into the crystal clear rain water filled land pond & enjoyed my version of swimming ;)

Years passed by , but my love for rain & walking in the rains still goes on, even now during the Bangalore rains , I walk barefoot with an umbrella on our apartment terrace :)

Kerala does not have incessant rains that stop all activity. It rains for a few hours with sunny interludes. Occasionally the rains might stretch on for a few days but sunshine is never far away. These golden interludes provide an equilibrium to life's natural flow.

According to Ayurveda, Monsoon is the best season for rejuvenation therapies. During the Monsoon season, the atmosphere remains dust-free and cool, opening the pores of the body to the maximum, making it most receptive to herbal oils and therapy.

In these Monsoon Vacation Series , we feature Experiences ,locations & resorts , which bring out the beauty of Monsoons in different parts of India , so that you can chase the rains as per you love for the resort or location or Experience.

Do share below your favourite monsoon memory..!!!

This New Year, we thank you for providing us the opportunity to serve you in the past and we promise to make your experience a satisfying and elevating one in the coming days.

This new year we bring you to & which offer unparalleled for you & your family or team .
This week we feature Jehan Numa group of Hotels who runs 2 Luxury Hotels in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh - Jehan Numa Palace & Jehan Numa Retreat. Apart from the 2 hotels in Bhopal, Jehan Numa group also owns & runs Reni Pani Jungle Lodge & Bori Safari Lodge at the Satpura National Park & Tiger Reserve about 135 KM from Bhopal.
Bori Safari Lodge ,gateway to the exciting Bori Sanctuary on the Southern part of The Lodge features 8 well-appointed rooms with en-suite facilities, an infinity plunge pool, a spa, indoor and outdoor dining and a library. Lodge has the best in class naturalist guides who will interpret the Wildlife of the Bori Sanctuary. Jehan Numa’s emphasis on cuisine also reflects in the Food being served at the lodge, with focus and importance on a high quality artisanal and gourmet menu offering.
Reni Pani is a stunning example of a contemporary wildlife and conservation focused jungle lodge located in the Satpura Tiger Reserve in Central India. With 12 rooms and 4 Luxury Tents. Reni Pani encompasses exactly what a nature lover would want, magnificent trees, a sprawling meadow, a seasonal stream, uneven yet beautiful topography and water holes that attract several species of birds and animals. The Safaris on offer at Satpura National Park are Jeep, Walk, Motor Boat, Canoe & Elephant ride. Apart from these we also offer sunset drives in the buffer area as well as an exclusive mobile camping and walking expeditions through the forests of Satpura.

As a travel partner we do a recce of the exclusive properties we promote to our customers . Most often in a group of resorts , at least one of them would slip on the hospitality part, but my personal experiences at all the Jehan Numa properties have been extremely fabulous . Starting from the Group Director Mr.Aly Rashid to Naturalists Erwin,Aneesh to every cheerful & hospitable F&B Team at each of the resorts , floored me with their graceful & thoughtful gestures.
Globally, and now increasingly in India, responsible eco-tourism is a great conservation driver, and more landscapes can be protected if we carefully spread eco-tourism to boost rural economies in lesser-known wild landscapes in the country. Jehan Numa Wilderness resorts are a great example of how wildlife is thriving because of responsible community-based tourism models.

Jungle story...Day 3,we set off early morning after bidding farewell to the ever cheerful, ever hospitable team at .Mission was to sight the tiger,which eluded us on Day 1&2 .As we entered the Bori wildlife sanctuary at Churna,we spotted fresh pug marks,which gave us some hope ,our naturalist and forest guide was all set to make our day by spotting the tiger. And suddenly at far distance we see a cat crossing the road and there it was ,the most elusive cat..not the Tiger but the Leopard, stood watching us for a few minutes and before we could react ,ran into the jungle .Our day was made &we had a story to share with our friends who were in another Jeep and missed the sighting. After some driving around the core area , we retired back to the Government forest lodge at Churna , before heading back to Reni Pani Jungle Lodge through another sanctuary called Madhai in the Satpura Tiger Reserve. As we were welcomed by Erwin -Naturalist & Lodge Manager at ,he walked us through the area explaining to us the flora and fauna of the place.Post lunch we were shifted to another Jeep ,to head to our next lodge for a night stay .As we passed through the jungle of Bori Wildlife sanctuary, chasing the tigress again, which was spotted by another team , we had a sighting of another leopard,this one was hardly 5ft away and a full grown male .. peacefully watched us and ran away into the jungle ,this time I managed to capture a video of the elusive cat. Sighting a tiger still remains my dream ,another time .Well can't complain , because at the forest checkpost i managed to feed the friendly Malabar Giant Squirrel ,an apple out of my hand , spotted herd of Indian Gaur,Nilgai ,Barking Deer and a whole lot of birds .Nature has amazing ways to survive and entrall us humans, and to make it more interesting was Erwin ,who was a treasure trove of stories about wildlife. On arrival at we were escorted to our forest view cottages ,an experience par excellence. Another highlight was meeting the director of the lodge Mr.Ali who himself is a huge wildlife enthusiast and has led many wildlife expeditions. Camera traps around the jungle has captured many wildlife within the resort , around the waterholes,hence every guest is escorted after dark to their rooms .No amount of pictures or videos will do justice to the experience one can explore at Reni Pani Jungle Lodge.

As the world speculates on a shut down due to the third wave , year 2022 promised me and 5 others from the travel industry ,an opportunity to explore the Jehan Numa properties in Madhya Pradesh for 4Nights . First two days are at in the Satpura Tiger Reserve. A Boutique 8 room property, they cater to guests discerning an experiential jungle lodge stay. Resort staff, smilingly pamper you with great service and food - which all the Jehan Numa properties are famous for , along with utmost care on which resonates with the mantra .

The human desire to travel and explore is universal, which is why tourism must be open for everyone to enjoy.

So too must the many social and economic benefits that tourism brings be available to everybody.

World Tourism Day 2021 highlights the power of ‘Tourism for Inclusive Growth’. This is an opportunity to look beyond tourism statistics and acknowledge that behind every number ,there is a person. Let's celebrate tourism's unique ability to ensure that nobody is left behind as the world starts to open up again and look into the future.
