My Travelogues

Iam an ardent traveler and I visit lot of places in the year either with family or friends.

I started this blog mainly to let others know of my experiences visiting these places and make sure my comments would be helpful to them in their travel plans.

Most of my concentration would be on my experiences than the history of the places.

Thanks to my colleague Indrani who suggested this apt name to my blog and to Shipra who suggested me the beautiful layout. My other colleagues, Divya and Sunanda who themselves are travel freaks have pledged their help to make this blog useful for others.

Luv,
Madhav

Shirdi - Ajanta - Ellora - Aurangabad Trip

First, let me apologize for the inordinate delay in writing this post. Went on a family trip in November 2011 to Shirdi and from there, made Aurangabad our base and covered places like Ajanta, Ellora, Grishneshwar, Daulatabad along with Panchakki and Bibi-ka-Maqbara (Mini Taj Mahal) in Aurangabad. Shirdi: Reached Shirdi by Ajanta Express from Hyderabad on 15th November 2011. Got down at Nagarsol and took an MSRTC bus to Shirdi. Booked room at the Sai Sansthan Choultry online and also booked for an Aarti. After Aarti Darshan, we did some brisk shopping and had lunch at one of the numerous Andhra hotels. For people from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, going to Shirdi is like going to one of the cities in our own states. Most of the boards on the hotels are in Telugu despite Shirdi being deep inside Maharashtra and no where near the border. It is same like people from Tamilnadu or Karnataka when they visit Tirupati. Majority of the visitors to Shirdi are from Andhra Pradesh. Shiv ...

Nagarjunasagar (నాగార్జునసాగర్)

Route to Nagarjuna Sagar from Hyderabad: LakdiKaPul - Koti - Nalgonda "X" Roads (Take the flyover here) - Santosh Nagar (Take left from here) - Sagar Highway - Ibrahimpatnam - Wanaparthy - Takkallapally - Chintapally - Nagarjuna Sagar The state highway is a good one with limited traffic. This route is famous for local drink called "Kallu". Kallu is a liquid extracted from "Thaati Chettu" (Sugar Plan Tree). It is a good drink if consumed before sunrise. Best time to visit: * During rainfall, entire Hyderabad city would be here watching the lifting of gates of the Dam. So, don't go at this time as you would not find food and accommodation. You can try if it is just a one day tour. * Best time is between August - January . * You can book the AP Tourism Hotel at Nagarjuna Sagar or at Ethipothala. Ethipothala has just 10 rooms. So, book them atleast one month prior to your visit. Try to book at Ethipothala only as the location is too good. Y...
