Puthur Jayaram Hotel - Sirkazhi

Image
We start to heard a lot about a Non- Veg Hotel which is an hour and half drive from my hometown. Even people from far distance are raving about this hotel and no surprise we wanted to visit that place. Myself and my friend Muruganand started from karaikal by 10:30 AM in the morning. The Hotel is located at Puthur which is at a distance of 8km from Sirkazhi Town and 50 km from Karaikal. Since the location is in the Chennai - Nagapattinam National Highway where there will be frequent travelers to Velankanni, Nagore, Thirunallar which is a  big advantage for this hotel. view of Puthur Jayaram Hotel We reached around 12 PM and hotel is already full. Luckily we got couple of seats and people who came after have to wait in the queue. The Hotel is very famous for Seer Fish Fry, Prawn fry , fish Gravy and Curd. I can say , you won't get these food items with this excellent quality anywhere apart from Puthur Jayaram Hotel and that too for an affordable price. I ordered th...

I relocated to Trivandrum from Chennai and it has been 3 months now. Heard a lot about ponmudi and want to explore the place this weekend.i don't have a car or a bike and travelled by public transport. KSRTC bus from Thambanoor bus station starts exactly at 8:10 Am.For the bus timing Type KSRTC TVM PMDY and send it to 537252 you'll get the timing at which the bus starts from the bus station,pretty useful,isnt it?   Bus starts at 8:10 and you can reach by 10:30,they will drop you in a place well before the check post and it's almost 2 kms for the upper sanatorium. We got into another bus in about 20 minutes to get into the upper. If you have car or bike ,then no issues,pay 20 Rs at the check post and you can go to the upper sanatorium. since it's a weekend, there was good crowd there. I loved the place actually , it is not yet commercialized and hills are so beautiful.what I really loved is the gentle and cool breeze you'll get,absolute...

Harmandir Sahib is its official name. But due to its the gold plated building, devotees lovingly refer to it as the Golden Temple. Before Entering the Temple we went to a shop to have Turbans. Nice Experience. The main building of the Golden Temple is surrounded by a lake. People of all religions come here in huge numbers to offer prayers and take a dip in this supposedly holy lake. We spent an entire day at the Golden temple. Spent...

Trekking to Agasthyamala Biosphere Reserve (Agasthyarkoodam)

Image
This time I have planned to visit  Agasthyamala which is 55 km from Trivandrum. When i told my plan to my friend muruganand, he was very much interested since he already completed Sathuragiri, Velliangiri and kollimalai hills trekking. 2 of my other friends(Salik and Hari)  are also the part of the trip but Hari was unable to join us . So its only three of us now.  Agasthyamala Biosphere Reserve is among 20 new sites added by UNESCO to its World Network of Biosphere Reserves in March 2016.   Before review:  We need catch the bus to Bonacaud at KSRTC Bus station in Trivandrum. We done it on time. Bus started around 4:30 AM and reached Bonacaud by 7:30 AM 1. My first time.  2. The review is based on on-season trip, not off season. Bus to Bonacaud The trekking starts only at 8AM from Bonacad checkpost, but the verification takes time. The forest guards have to enter every name into a book, and make people sign there. Also they've to ch...
