Mahabalipuram Beach Resort Family Trip

By on 1

Mahabalipuram family trip in Spring-summer?

When I told a few friends about flying to Chennai for a Mahabalipuram -Pondicherry trip they looked surprised. Spring summer in Chennai is hot .28 to 32 degrees is not comfortable. But we had a good time. We visited the tourist spots in Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry, and Kanchipuram. Here is my story.

How to reach?

Most major cities are connected to Chennai by rail, road, and air.We flew from Kolkata and reached Chennai airport which is 58 Km from Mahabalipuram.

What to See in Mahabalipuram?

While there several temples and structures of historical and architectural significance and glory I am mentioning some of the more famous and must visit ones.

Shore Temple

One of its kind temple standing majestically on the shore washed by waves.Narasimha Varman the second built this temple. Sunrise and sunset both are a vision here.It shows the aesthetic aspirations of the mighty Pallavas. Standing for  12 centuries, this two spire temple is the lone survivor out of seven such temples. Preservation and restoration work is going on, to prevent this beautiful historical structure being lost to the sea.

Arjuna’s Penance

Monoliths

Five Rathas: Known as the Pancha Pandava rathas. Interesting story about how they came to be named thus.But you will be surprised to know that the Pandavas never visited Mahabalipuram!

On the Hillside

Mahishasuramardini Cave

Devi Durga also was known as Mahishasuramardini battles the buffalo-headed Asura/demon Mahishasura.On top of the Cave is an elevation which houses an ancient lighthouse.The view from the top is gorgeous.

Varaha Cave.

Krishna Mandapam.

Muttukadu boathouse.

A gorgeous sparkling lake and well-maintained boathouse with helpful staff .Boats of different capacity with different rates available for hire. It’s open from 9 am to 5 pm. The best part it’s a bird watchers paradise.My favorite surprise was the boating trip which I almost missed!

Crocodile Farm: An amazing, keeps-your-mouth-open kind of place with 1500 crocodiles in the farm. Very clean well maintained and they also have someone telling you all about crocodiles.

Mahabalipuram day 1 First day after lunch and rest for an hour We left at 3.30pm

Visited Sea shore temple and the sea beach next to it. The trek is some distance. Phone pictures have a nominal charge. Videography has special rates. We took a guide who charged us Rs 200 for telling us the story. The story was good and architecture was gorgeous. The fight between Pallavas and Cholas.

Day  2 trip to Mahabalipuram.                                                                                                                 

How we got ready for a day out

  • Early swim, beach stroll, and breakfast.
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat
  • Loose cotton clothes
  • Sturdy comfortable shoes
  • Drinking water

What we visited
Butterball.

Arjuna’s Penance

Monoliths

Mahishasuramardini cave and lighthouse

Crocodile farm

Muttukadu boat house.We lunched and rested a bit after visiting the crocodile farm and then went for boating at around 4 pm. We also enjoyed  a nice cup of tea at the small cafeteria there.

When you visit places of historical interest you learn a few things.

1)History repeats itself

2)People will be human .They will love ,hate ,kill and die. Whatever changes this doesn’t change.

3)When we see  these gorgeous works of art, we forgot how hot the sun was(the hats were very useful and you can buy them at the road side shops). Nature and beauty can make you forget physical discomforts.

4)History is like watching humankind in reverse. A good guide makes things come alive !You will be forced to imagine Bahubali here by a skillful guide. Ours was a good one!

5)The intricate carvings on stones make me realize how difficult life was back then and how much better off we are now. Gratitude!

6)Children are stronger than we give them credit for.

7)Very little has changed about humans and human nature. People still destroy own peace of mind to  try and destroy others.

8 )Boating at the Muttukadu Lake reminded me how much I love being close to nature.

Boating 6 seater motor boat was INR 600.

The birds flocking on either side of the lake was amazing. Imagine we almost missed this! The boats are sturdy, The boatmen are friendly. The birds are magical. The kingfishers waiting for their meal made us smile! Do they ever think of going vegan? While I stared at the birds and tried to save them in my memory.

My hubby clicked the pictures which you see now. When you are feeling sad. When life seems difficult When you want to cry. Look at your travel pics. They will make you smile.

They will help you remember the good times. Memories are what make life more beautiful. Live love and travel! Challenge yourself. Go out of your comfort zone. Only one life to live. Live gloriously

The Landmark Pallavaa beach resort Mahabalipuram my review

We visited in March 2018. It was hot, but the property was lovely. It’s a spectacular  Mahabalipuram private beach resort. The beach is secluded, totally clean and private.

The only downside. You must visit as early in the morning as possible to enjoy the beach stroll. Otherwise, our glorious Sun God can make it Hot!

The pool was sparkling and very well maintained. There are four pools, threes for kids according to age and a giant one for adults. The property is only two years old but shows promise.

The service is good and helpful. The storks, birds, and greenery make for a relaxing ambiance. The tourist attractions of Mahabalipuram, Kanchipuram, and Pondicherry are within comfortable driving distance in car. We were traveling with a 6-year-old and had hired our own care.

The food is average but they try to ensure quality. But choices are limited. Service again is excellent I must mention Mr Govind in the restaurant, who took a lot of care.

The only cons: They have no dedicated car service, neither do they have an option for driver accommodation. Both of which however is manageable. We had sea view room in the first floor and the view is stunning. Must visit

Super Traveller tip:

Ask for a sea view room and they will give you if one is available .I booked directly online and they are responsive via email and phone.

The contact person who helped a lot:

V John Bosco | General Manager | 89399 44400

Email address: contact@landmarkpallavaa.com

Website: http://www.landmarkpallavaa.com/

My not to miss recommendation: The Shore temple and the other landmarks of Mahabalipuram is steeped in history and gorgeous. The Crocodile Bank close by is a must visit. Don’t forget to go temple hopping and sari buying in Kanchipuram. Pondicherry is pretty and quaint.

Thankfully, there are some top cities all around the world for disabled travelers to consider exploring. The world is your oyster, and it’s time to start discovering all it has to offer.

San Diego

There are so many things to go through when traveling with a disability. Checking you have enough of your medication in stock, like enough insulin if you’re diabetic, is just one of the various parts of the checklist. So why not opt for a staycation to remove the stress? This way, you won’t have a language barrier in case anything should happen to your medication. San Diego is one of the top cities in America for disabled travelers thanks to the different tram systems to get around the city as well as the grid layout of the streets. Plus, many of the leading attractions for San Diego have all been updated to welcome every disabled guest.

Singapore

This city has been named as one of the most accessible cities in Asia. The wide sidewalks, mass rail transit, and unique buses have all been designed to help any traveler navigate the city. Plus, this doesn’t just mean for wheelchair users either. The public transport is due to be improved soon to better cater for visually impaired commuters. The botanic gardens in Singapore are a must-see while you’re there, too. After all that exploring, perhaps you are looking for somewhere to sleep? Singapore has a huge variety of hotels with disabled access where you can sleep like a baby after the day’s events.

Barcelona

This is a city that has been designed to accommodate all levels of ability. The streets are lined with ramps to make crossing traffic as easy as possible. Plus, their extensive public transport network has all be designed with wheelchairs in mind. All the buses in the city are wheelchair accessible, and many of the metro stations have fitted elevators. To top it all off, Barcelona even has a unique number to call if you require a wheelchair specific taxi to avoid disappointment. All these additions mean disabled travelers can enjoy sites from the Sagrada Família to Park Güell.

Playa del Carmen

This Mexican gem is tucked away within the country but is one of the most disabled-friendly cities in the world. In addition to a disabled tour of the local ancient ruins, the city has recently launched a public beach designed to make like as easy as possible for any disabled traveler. This is the very first of its kind in the country. There is everything from beach wheelchairs to special walkers and an extended boardwalk to make this beach experience the best it could possibly be. Local areas also have cranes that make swimming in the sea possible for any tourist.

No longer do we have to be confined to seeing our own hometown. These disabled-friendly cities mean we can explore the world. Be sure to leave a comment down below if you have any further suggestions.

19 Things We Want to do in Costa Rica

By on 25

We are beach lovers. That’s what we are.M y hubby is of the firm opinion that the only place my daughter will play by herself is the beach. So beach holidays are a favorite. This time we are planning a trip with a big group and we are looking for a luxury Holiday rental.

That’s the best way when we travel with our extended family, we can all be together and not worry about having rooms far away. When we travel in a big groups getting rooms together can be a pain. Thats why Costa Rica rental properties are perfect for us. We are planning to get a five bedroom Villa which will comfortably sleep ten. For the younger kids, we don’t need extra beds, but the older ones will be happy to sleep in camp beds. We are also looking for a good sized pool as well as quality Concierge service.

The reason we want a luxury holiday rental are:

1) It’s private.As private as we want. With 8 kids and 10 adults, parties get noisy. In a hotel, there are other guests after all and we don’t like being the loudest.

2) In Holiday rentals the pool is ours and we can use it any time. In bigger resorts, the fixed hours of pool usage makes them overcrowded even in the best places.

3) The food for the children can be customized according to our wish .International travel is a headache when it comes to food choices for children. We all want to have fun, but we want our children to eat too. Right?

4) Having a holiday rental means we can all stay together without worrying about good rooms close to each other.

5) The home away from home feel is just what I love when we want to unwind.

6) The gorgeous luxury rental is a treat to the eye and is perfect for a giant family reunion.

Central America, Costa Rica is unexplored territory. So we need to be prepared,I read the best time to Vista Costa Rica with family is December to April. Rainforests are a strict no with children. But maybe it will be possible in the dry season

Costa Rica has a rich variety of plants and animals. This beautiful country with 0.03% of the world’s landmass has 5% of the world’s biodiversity. This makes Costa Rica a nature lover’s paradise. 25% of the country’s land has protected national parks and protected areas.

19 Things we want to do in Costa Rica

19 Things we Plan to do in Costa Rica

  1. We want to go for a jungle safari maybe visit the rain forests.
  2. We definitely want to visit the national parks.
  3. We want to visit the gorgeous beaches. Papagayo’s white sand beaches are high on the list.
  4. Maybe horseback riding every day? I think everyone would enjoy this
  5. We also want to go zip lining. Maybe not all of us!
  6. Bathing in the waterfalls is high on our list.
  7. We want to visit a few volcanoes (those which are safe maybe?). Arenal volcano is surrounded by rain forests. Will we be able to visit?
  8. We want to try white water rafting. No harm right?
  9. We will take a dip in the Famous Hot water springs.
  10. Many of us have plans to try rappelling.
  11. Maybe go for a kayaking tour.
  12. Family fishing challenge.
  13. Diving and snorkeling are also on the list.
  14. We would love to try the natural spas and wellness offers at the resorts.
  15. Bird watching would be a part of our holiday.
  16. So would be a trek.
  17. Guanacaste for a cruise may be.
  18. I will be definitely trying surfing. Confession time.I have never surfed. Ever!
  19. I will eat a copo. Don’t worry It’s a Costa Rican shaved ice treat with kola syrup, powdered milk, and condensed milk.

Now the question is will we be able to fit all this into it? Now the most important question my hubby asked? What do we need to pack? A lot of research into weather made it easier.

(Always discuss with your doctor for immunization updates).

Before we book our tickets we check out the Visa rules carefully.We don’t want to be unprepared.I am also looking for a good tour operator. Someone who will help us plan the fun stuff without overwhelm.Let me know if you know anyone. Would you like to book a luxury holiday rental? Let me know in the comments below what you love about holiday rentals.

 

 

Puri diaries :The pilgrimage to Happiness

By on 10

I have a problem .
A mental  irregularity you might say.
I need to travel to a place with uninhibited nature every 2 /3 months.
 
Not shopping malls or movie theatres .But greenery ,mountains and the seas.
 
Greenery I have  at my home.
(Check out my Instagram feed)
But there’s really no way ,with current technology to have a piece of the ocean or a small mountain in your living room.
 
For now my imagination and frequent travels help.
 
My trip to Puri was in October .
 
This year I  did the mandatory Durga Pujo pandal  hop with a heavy heart.
My sister and mother didn’t come to Kolkata for the Pujo .
 
 
The crowds on the roads and the empty house  was too sad.
We decided to visit Puri .
 
 
Puri is Jagannath Dham.Home of Lord Jagannath .One of the sacred Char Dham for Hindus  .
The  main idol in the temple is made of wood .It’s replaced every 18 years with exact replica.
 

 

The miniature wooden Lord Jagannath ,I got for my little one
The miniature wooden Lord Jagannath ,I got for my little one
 
This is one of the unique features of the idol.As most Hindu temple idols are made of stone or metal.
 
The famous Rath Yatra or Chariot festival starts from the temple.
 
 
 
 
Bengali’s treat Puri like their home away from home.
It’s close to Kolkata.The cuisine is similar.They love fish too.
 
 
 
We took an Indigo flight.It took us 45 minutes including take off and landing
Bhubaneswar airport is 65 Km away from Puri and the road is excellent.
Close to the airport we had a cup of masala chai with the typical road side tea stall biscuit.
 
 
It was the best chai I had for the entire trip.
For Kolkata people it’s like the Maharani chai and the Dilli wala  Dhaba chai .
Milky and perfect .
 
 

The Hotel

 
The Mahadadhi palace greeted us with conch shells and the  traditional Tika.
The hotel is located bang opposite the beach.

 

The beautiful bedroom of the Royal suite.
The beautiful bedroom of the Royal suite.
 
 
It’s a beautiful  heritage property .It was the retreat of Maharaja Panchkot.
Fort Mahadadhi is a beach view hotel .
Mahadadhi means the great sea.
The ocean view from our room
The ocean view from our room.The colour makes you stare for hours without getting tired
 
You have a view of the majestic ocean right from the bedroom
We had one if the Royal suites .
 The rates included breakfast and dinner .But lunch is generally a la carte .
The variety of food may vary depending on occupancy.
 
 
Location of the hotel is perfect.
It’s 50 ft from the ocean.
Lord Jagannath temple just 1.5 Km.
Railway station a few minutes away.
They have 3 restaurants including a purely vegetarian one.
There’s a swimming pool including a splash pool for children.
 
The staff was very helpful and courteous.
 
 

The Food

 
The seafood was delicious.
They served some of the most delicious fresh sea food I have ever tasted.
Mouthwatering sea food fresh from the ocean will tickle yourThe ocean view from our room taste buds.
Mouthwatering sea food fresh from the ocean will tickle your taste buds
 
Only con for me .Very few options for desert .
 

The pilgrimage thing

 
The trip to Lord Jagannath temple was mixed.The entire temple round is pretty organized .But I have issues with crowds .It was saptami and pretty crowded  .
The temple architecture is from 12th century and will stop you in your track.
No photography is allowed inside and the security is pretty strict .
 
It’s your eyes and your memory which help you soak in the beauty of the sculptures and carvings on the temple wall.
Buildings don’t have life .But I have always felt that  temples , have stories to tell.
 
The story of the people who built them ,toiling under the hot sun.The people who lived there.
 
The hopes the dreams ,the heart breaks.
 
These echos are louder in places of worship.
 
If you listen carefully you can hear  tales,  the ancient walls  whisper.
After the worship part we were lucky to taste the bhog and prasad.
It was absolutely delicious.My favourite was the “malpua with rabri”, which was easily the best sweet dish I tasted in Orissa .
 
The malpua  was lightly flavoured with cardamom and just the right amount of sweetness.A perfect food memory .
 
 
 

The sea at Puri.The star of the show.

 
It’s rolling with huge waves .A rich blue.
Don’t try to take a bath without a life guard to help you.It’s pretty treacherous .
The sea beach is a child's delight.I am clicking pictures staring at the sea.Thinking about tasting the delicious samosas rosogolla and chanar jilipi that hawker cos carrying.Rai is busy building and rebuilding her sand castle as the waves play with her.Hubby stands guard wondering whether the beach food should be tried or not.

The ocean makes you humble.
It’s vastness and your size.It’s eternal beauty and our lifetime .
It never stops and rests .
Staring at the ocean you feel the calm that comes from being light-years old.
 
 
 
 

The Shopping

Priyadarshini a weavers association of Orissa had the most gorgeous weaves .
Other than that they have beautiful Dokra work ,tribal art pieces .
I love handmade goods.
They tell stories which machine-made stuff don’t .
When you imagine the time dedication and creativity each of these piece demand its awe-inspiring.
My shopping stash.
The embroidered bags which make gorgeous gifts
The embroidered bags which make gorgeous gifts
 
The embroidered bedcover and cushion covers to deck up my home

I also got a couple of prints on silk for framing.The beauty of these handcrafted pieces  will brighten up any home.
Would you like to  get some of these gorgeous stuff for your home.

#SayYesToTheWorld 11 Startling Travel Secrets (11 is fave)

By on 39

When I talk about eleven startling secrets about traveling, it’s not a post about best deals and destinations. It’s about my realization about how being a world traveler made me a better person.

When I was a little girl I used to study very hard. Guess why? My maternal uncle used to take us for summer holiday trips to different places. But this happened only when all the cousins were doing well. While this custom stopped with time and circumstances, my love for travel was forever.

Luckily the friend I married loves to travel too. While studying in Delhi for our PGs, we got married in our second year. We wanted to travel together married. We are both traditional that way. Also, I felt many of the Indian socio-economic-cultural norms help form deeper relations. They help us live and love freely without the burden of negative emotions. While love made us want to get married, our love of travel made marriage fun. Delhi is a cool place to travel from. Most of the major airlines have flights here. Comfort travel is high on my list, but more important are the simple insights into the human life we get.

My 11 Startling  Travel Secrets: SayYesToTheWorld

#1 When in Bhutan I realized why the people here have such high happiness quotient. It’s about being close to nature. Believing you exist as part of them.

#2 Human lives are strung in chords of the same song, that all animals and plants on this beautiful world sing.

#3 When we traveled to Srilanka the food made me realize how similar we all are, even across borders.Why exactly men fight no one knows but we are all poorer for going to wars. Travel inspiration exists everywhere. Most often when you are traveling you realize your thirst for some more of the same or something different. Whatever it is, more you travel the more you want to travel!


#4 In Iceland I realized how beautiful the world will be if we all stopped to think and cared more.Nature in its beauty gives us gifts of love, positivity, compassion, and empathy. By cutting trees and disturbing the ecological balance, we destroy our own chances of happiness. Is that worth it?

#5 In Milan the vertical gardens on the cityscape made me realize that’s the solution to pollution.

#6 In Singapore the Botanic garden stole my heart. That’s on my dream list. A treehouse, with mountains on one side and the sea beach on the other.No harm in dreaming right? When you love the world, the world loves you right back!

#7 In Dubai the splendor of all things with the contrasting stories of immigrant workers made me realize.

#8 The only way to a happier and peaceful world is one where all are educated.

11 Startling Secrets about Travel #SayYesToTheWorld
11 Startling Secrets about Travel #SayYesToTheWorld

While education is not a magic wand it will give you more choices.

  • The choice not to be bonded labor.
  • The choice to live life with dignity
  • The choice to live with family.

#9 It’d also during traveling with family that some of my best blogging projects appeared.

I blogged while waiting at airports. I blogged sitting in a coffee shop in Paris. All this was possible because the Internet travels with us.

#10 The power of technology and the power of positive thinking, together makes travel an opportunity like no other.

#11 Travelling opens up the heart, mind, and soul.

[bctt tweet=”Travel makes your spirit breathe! #SayYesToTheWorld” username=”misra_amrita”]

It challenges my ability to adjust. It makes me look deep into your soul. It makes me thankful. A thankful heart is a happy heart. Travel makes me happy.

Celebrate life with a thankful heart.

My thoughts on how travel makes me open-minded:

I stop feeling like I know everything. This, unfortunately, lasts for the duration of travel. Then I start feeling like a super mom, Batman with Harry Potter all rolled into one! I realize how blessed I really am. I feel thankful for the kindness of strangers.I understand the role of population, natural resources, and health of a nation. I also realized some truths we all know, but need to travel to accept!

Read my full disclosure here. While all the realizations are heartfelt, the travels are virtual. 

Fly with your Valentine Memories of a Lifetime

By on 56

Fly with your Valentine, memories of a lifetime..to the moon and back maybe?

I wish you could do that.I wish I could do that.

If you love traveling and the love of your love does too, that is the trip to plan.With Mahashivrathri falling on the 14th, this Valentine day just got a more auspicious makeover.But if you can’t travel to the moon I have a few places right here in India which will be perfect.

If you want to gift someone something gift them an experience.That’s what makes people happy.Memories make life enriching.

When I and hubby were in Delhi studying together(and just married)we scraped and saved money left over after the necessities strictly for traveling.

The most fun places for relaxing and enjoying some quiet time needs to be on a budget.

Just book the right flights in advance and you can then find the best hotels at peace.I have seen the biggest hurdle in my travel dreams are sudden weird flight price explosion!

Before we had our little girl we never booked hotels in advance.Just booked our flights and landed up in new places. Checking out the bathrooms of budget hotels, before we decided on the one which deserved our hard earned money.

So where can you go with your sweetheart?

Visit Manali

It’s a favorite destination for lovebirds.I visited it for our second-anniversary celebration and I still dream about those gorgeous hills.The people are nice, the hills are inviting and something about the weather makes you forget the gruels of daily living.

Visit Pahalgam

I know the Kashmir potboiler leaves little space for romance.But keep this in mind just in case.The Lidder river dances throughout the quaint little town of Pahalgam.I have not met a friendlier, kinder and more welcoming people than the people of Pahalgam.The Hotel Himalaya where we stayed is located right on the bank of the river and it has a canal going through the property.A hanging porch overlooks the river dancing merrily below the green snowcapped majestic Himalayas.It’s as close to the heavens and my dream home I have ever come.They also have a swing in the little garden bursting with flower and a friendly old gardener who will let you mow the garden if you want to exercise.

 

Visit Kolkata

It is perfect for a luxury cruise on the Ganges.Nothing more romantic I guarantee.It’s affordable, the food is fantastic and the hospitality of Kolkata will put a smile on your face.This is also a great time to go for quick city tours in Kolkata as the weather is perfect.

Close to Kolkata the Mandarmani resort of Aquamarina drive inn is budget friendly, simple food with unlimited sea view.It is a 3 hours drive from Kolkata in minimum traffic.

Maybe a quick trip to Goa?

The south Goa beaches are uncrowded and the Dona Sylvia beach resort where we stayed had a private access to the beach, acres of greenery, stunning pool and the most sumptuous food.


If you want to spend some quiet time with your loved one.This is the place!

Visit Puri 

Fly to Bhubaneswar and it’s a 45 minutes ride from airport to the bluest ocean.

There is no dearth of tourist lodges and hotels on a budget.But my favorite is the Mahodadhi palace (it’s a renovated summer palace ) and the Mayfair Hotels Puri.

Don’t delay gifting your Valentine a memory to cherish.

So where do you plan to fly? Comment below to let me know.
