I had the opportunity to visit Avudaiyarkoil (or Avudaiyarkovil), a really small temple town near Pudukkottai in Tamil Nadu, some days ago. These parts are very close to the popular Chettinad region, which I unfortunately didn't visit. Some other time, I hope!
The Avudayairkovil Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva was built by Manikavasakar, a 9th century Tamil poet who was the Prime Minister of the reigning Pandya king. Apparently, he used money meant for purchasing horses for the army, to build the temple. [...] |

The sky caves of Mustang April 19 2015
South Col had a group of eight trekkers to Mustang and Lo Manthang last April 2015. The morning dawned clear in Pokhara and all the peaks were visible after the rain the previous evening. Our 7 am flight to Jomsom was bang on time and I was sitting on the left side so I had splendid views of the peaks including Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri and Tukuche. I could also clearly see below me the route we had taken on so many treks - Austrian camp, Poon hill and [...] |

The ruins of the temple in Avantipur
A holiday in Kashmir is always filled with sunrises. You feast your eyes on pristine landscapes, on bright and cheerful flowers rivalling the colours of a rainbow, meandering streams, never ending stretches of meadows and snow kissed peaks bordered by alpine forests. The tall bare trees stand like sentinels watching over the region as we drive past. I am on the road drinking in every bit of scenery, intoxicated by its sheer beauty. Birds sing, the breeze brings with [...] |

| As I landed in various European cities for my weekend trips- Amsterdam, Brussels, Bergen, Kaunas etc, I had to take a decision on how I would approach my spending and site seeing. Should I take them up one by one, pay as I visit or should I invest in a city card (such as I am Amsterdam Card, Brussels Card, Bergen Card etc). After some assessment, I reached a conclusion that these cards are not |

A cathedral with beautiful interiors but very modest exteriors. This religious monument was built in 1517 on the ruins of an old parish church of St. Maria. The construction was completed in 1537 and got elevated to status of Cathedral of Elvas in 1570. It measures 525feet, east to west. The cathedral was empty when we entered, it was totally silent. The first and foremost which made an |

Jeulia - this name is gaining more popularity day by day. I wouldn't be surprised in near future if it becomes the first choice for most couples to shop their engagement rings. I love quality products at an affordable price. If you are like me and like shopping online to find your moneys worth then defiantly visit Jeulia .
For most couples who are going to be engaged or married the biggest of all questions is how much they should spend on their rings and where they should buy it from. While the budget [...] |

Glaciers, Geo Thermal Springs, Icebergs, Volcanoes, Fjords, Waterfalls and sensationally rugged geography. It might sound like a National Geographic or Discovery show to you, but it isn’t. I am referring to Iceland, which is home to all of this. Every photographer, adrenaline junkie and/or adventure enthusiast will dig this country. Be it caving, glacier hiking, ice climbing, whale watching or white water rafting, Iceland offers this and more. Throw into the mix, Europe’s largest glacier, lava fields, Europe’s [...] |
