The next ‘Tour of Less Known Hoysala Kingdom’ from Travel Wise is scheduled on June 19th. The tour will take a small group through some less known but beautiful temples around Belur and Halebeedu, built by the Hoysalas. The tour is not just about going from place to place, but involves knowing a lot about the dynasty and the temples. We will also do a walk inside a coffee estate and find out everything about growing coffee.
We had received great response in earlier editions of the tour, and the feedback was excellent. See details of the tour on travelwise.in. The group size will be small, between 8 and 12, so register early.

This month’s calendar comes from the same place as April Calendar. Dhuandhar Waterfall near Jabalpur is one of the best waterfalls I have ever seen. River Narmada, a few hundred meters wide above the falls, dumps a huge volume of water down the falls. Dhuandhar gets its name from the mist rising from the waterfall.

With the travel season to Ladakh about open in a month or two, it will continue to be the major focus for another month, by when there will be exhaustive information posted on the region. There will be a few posts on short journeys to other places too and a lot of images as usual. Also watch out for many travel book reviews, some of them being great gems that every traveller must read.
I hope you have a great travelling summer ahead. It is time to be in the mountains. What are you waiting for?
cheers! 🙂
