I”ve read somewhere that if travel bug bites you there is no medicine for that and the only way to cure is to just travel all your favourite places.and thats the starting point of my journey in 2016. Being a travel lover from my childhood i dnt have much chance to roam all the places but as soon as i started earning on my own i have started visiting all my favourite places and thats the only one which makes me happy all the time.
Coorg
My next journey is towards coorg which is one of the best place to visit in monsoon.A perfect weekend gateway for bangalore ppl and the best and chilled whether you can experience if you visit in between july to october. One of the most famous view point is Raja’s seat where you can see the best view of coorg and lots of waterfalls like abbey falls etc will dip you into the chilled water. This is the place where river cauvery born and you can visit Talacauvery here and also there is a place where you can see lot of tibetians and one of the sacred place for them “golden temple” is situated very near to coorg.
