Amboli An Exotic Place To Travel

Images: 150

India, Amboli, Maharastra

In your pursuit of peace and solitude, perhaps you will come across Amboli, a tranquil hill station on the Western Ghats, surrounded by thick forests and tree canopied hills. On the coastal side, Amboli peers over the tree lined sandy ribbon of the Konkan coast; on the other three sides, you are rewarded by a magnificent panorama of the sweeping valley.

The hill station is very charming in winter when the rains have stopped and there are a thousand waterfalls gushing down the hills. This is an idyllic place to relax, unwind and go for long walks. Spend your days meandering through scenic hillscapes and misty forests, pack a picnic and wander up un-trodden paths. Go fishing at Hiranya Keshi, picnic at Nagatta Falls, Mahadev Gad and Narayan Gad, sightseeing at the Bauxite Mines, Sea View and Shirgaonkar.

So when you just want to get away from it all, come to Amboli. The chances are that you will lose track of time in this quiet retreat with its rejuvenating climate and charming mountain scenery.

Getting there: Amboli is 549 km from Mumbai and 390 km from Pune. The nearest railhead is at Sawantwadi, 30 km away. You can get here on State Transport buses from Mumbai, Pune and Belgaum. Taxis and rickshaws are available, or you can hire cycles and move around on horseback.

Best time: Amboli's bracing climate makes it a year round destination. The hill station is at its rain-washed best just after the monsoons when waterfalls cascade down the mountains. Carry light woollens and rain protection no matter what the weather. T

Accommodation: There are hotels, motels, tourist guesthouses and an MTDC resort.

"Take a trip to find Amboli, no matter how hard she tries to hide within Maharashtra's mountains, mists and secret pathways..."

Red Fort (Delhi)

Images: 19

Delhi, India

The Red Fort was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's new capital, Shahjahanabad, the seventh Muslim city in the Delhi site. He moved his capital from Agra in a move designed to bring prestige to his reign, and to provide ample opportunity to apply his ambitious building schemes and interests. The Red Fort stands at the eastern edge of Shahjahanabad, and gets its name from the massive wall of red sandstone that defines its four sides. The wall is 1.5 miles (2.5 km) long, and varies in height from 60ft (16m) on the river side to 110 ft (33 m) towards the city. Measurements have shown that the plan was generated using a square grid of 82 m. The fort lies along the Yamuna River, which fed the moats that surround most of the wall.

Jaipur(Hindi: जयपुर, Urdu: جے پور), also popularly known as the Pink City, historically sometimes rendered as Jeypore, is the capital of Rajasthan state, India. Jaipur is also the capital of Jaipur District. Jaipur is the former capital of the princely state of Jaipur. Founded in 1727 by Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, the ruler of Amber, Jaipur was the first planned city in India and in 2003, after only 276 years, the population reached approximately 2.7 million.

Situated on the rugged ridge of Aravali Hills, Nahargarh Fort is situated to the north of Jaipur. Floodlit at night, it looks majestic and grand and is a classic example of fort architecture. Built in 1734 by Sawai Raja Jai Singh II, it was extended in 1868. The fort is also known as Tiger Fort and was built to further enforce the defense of Amber, the erstwhile capital of Kachchwahas Rajputs. It has an interesting legend attached to it. It is said that while the fort was being constructed, everyday a spirit of a prince known as Nahar Singh a prince would destroy the construction. To appease the spirit, a tantrik was called and it finally agreed to leave on condition that the fort is named after him. Thus, the fort was named after him.
