“Once upon a time, there was a village”.
It is so true for this particular village in Goa, called Curdi (Kurdi), which now remains submerged under water most of the year and reappears during the summer months. (The structures and roads seen in the pictures are submerged in water for almost 10 months of the year)

In 1970s, when Salaulim Dam was being constructed to meet the state’s water supply demands, nearby villages were evacuated and people were relocated to different location so as to make way for the reservoir.

This site can be visited only during the month of May, when the water level decreases. Some abandoned houses, chapels and temples are still visible. This abandoned village is around 60 Km. from Vasco and 32 from Margao.

Bhutan, is a Buddhist kingdom on the Himalayas’ eastern edge, known for its monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs) and dramatic landscapes that range from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys. In the High Himalayas, peaks such as 7,326m Jomolhari are popular trekking destinations. Paro Taktsang monastery (also known as Tiger’s Nest) clings to cliffs above the forested Paro Valley. Visit to this monastery is a must if you are physically fit.

Those who love peaceful, beautiful and serene place, Paro is a perfect place. It is a valley town in Bhutan, west of the capital, Thimphu, which is the site of the country’s only international airport and is also known for the many sacred sites in the area.

Punakha is a town in the Himalayas of Bhutan. It's known for the Punakha Dzong, a 17th-century fortress at the juncture of the Pho and Mo Chhu rivers. Punakha was the capital of Bhutan until the 1960's, and still retains the serene atmosphere of a place with a regal past.

The Phobjikha Valley is a vast U-shaped glacial valley, also known as Gangteng Valley named after the impressive Gangteng Monastery of the Nyingma sect in central Bhutan, where the graceful black-necked cranes in Bhutan (Grus nigricollis) from the Tibetan Plateau visit the valley during the winter season to roost. On arrival in the Phobjikha Valley in the last week of October, the black-necked cranes circle the Gangteng Monastery three times and also repeat the process while returning to Tibet.

Thimphu is the world's only capital without traffic lights- something which tells you a lot about this quaint and easy-going city. It was declared capital in 1961, Punakha was the formal capital. One can see a perfect balance between the old and new values, as the national dress Gho(males) and the Kira(females) is worn in offices and schools and where as youth can be seen in western outfits in the evenings.

Surprises in Bhutan:
• This is a country where buying ci******es is illegal.
• Chilies are the main ingredients of the dishes.
• School children wear Gho and Kira (traditional male and female
garments)
• GNS (Gross National Happiness) is of more importance than GDP
(Gross Domestic Product)
• Ema datse, a dish with chilies and cheese is worth trying.
• Sud-ja, butter tea is salty tea
• Bhutan is a democracy and constitutional monarchy. The
Bhutanese monarchy was founded in 1907. It held its first
democratic elections in 2008.
• Until the 1960’s it had no roads, automobiles, telephone, postal
system or electricity. Bhutanese had no access to TV or Internet
until limited access was permitted in 1999.
• Buddhism is the official religion with Hinduism the second
popular faith.
• Dzongka is the official language.
• Bhutan is the world’s only carbon sink, that is; it absorbs more
CO2 than it gives out. It sells hydro-electrical power, making it the
only country whose largest export is renewable energy. 72% of
the country is forested. In fact, it’s in the country’s constitution to
keep 60% of its land forested.
• Respect for the environment, the eco system and all species is a
serious matter in Bhutan. Anyone caught killing an endangered
species, faces the harsh sentence of life in prison. National animal
is Takin and Blue Poppy is the National Flower of Bhutan. There
are 600 bird species
• Till 1960s, the only education available in Bhutan was from the
monasteries. Before this a few students travelled to Darjeeling or
Kalimpong to get higher education.
• Power is generated hydroelectrically through special turbines
placed directly into rivers without the need for constructing dams.
For remote villages without access to power lines, the
government provides free solar panels.
• If someone cuts down a tree to aid in the construction of their
house, they are required to plant a new tree in its place.
• The country also sells its hydro-electrical power, making it the
only country whose largest export is renewable energy. This is the
biggest industry for Bhutan at the moment.
• Plastic bags have been banned in Bhutan since 1999. Instead of
using plastic bags, the Bhutanese use cotton bags for their
groceries to keep the environment free of non-biodegradable
rubbish.
• Despite the country’s low GDP, the government provides free
education for all – from primary level all the way to tertiary
institutes – as well as free health care through Basic Health Units.

St. Mary's Islands is also known as Coconut Island. It is off the coast of Malpe in Udupi, Karnataka, India and is known for its unique geological formation of columnar rhyolitic lava (Rhyolitic lavas are viscous and tend to form thick blocky lava flows) Columnar rhyolite Lava here form one of the four geological monuments in Karnataka state

As per scientific studies, the basalt of the St. Mary's Islands was formed by sub-aerial subvolcanic activity, because at that time Madagascar was attached to India. The rifting of Madagascar took place around 88 million years ago.

Maha Ganga Arti at Triveni Ghat at Rishikesh..... an unforgettable experience.

Sensational Singapore

A wonderland or fairyland, that's what I felt when I landed at world famous Changi airport of Singapore. A man-made wonder, a place with limited natural resources and practically with no agricultural activities .....surely teaches us a lot. A tiny country with small population of 5,804,337 (at mid year-2019 according to UN data) equivalent to 0.08% of the total world population, is giving tough competition to other developed nations even at economic growth scenario.

A beautiful, well-organised, well-managed, peaceful, yet bubbling with the activities all the time, is a perfect destination for families, with the friends, for small children & for young enthusiastic souls. Affordable in terms of funds, not very far from India, variety of food is available and language is no bar
(English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil are official languages)

So plan, pack and enjoy you next holidays in Singapore. Believe me, its would be a perfect destination .......Good Luck.

There are lots of threads to be put together to have a flawless trip. Contact if need any suggestion/guidance.
