Reasons to travel #BFFWedding

-




Vishakapatnam - beautifully clean city with hills and beaches.

Airport is just 1KM from the main N.A.D. junction where you can head to any direction and location like Araku Valley, Beach, Hydearabd, Bhuvaneswar, Kolkata...

FYI - All cab pick ups are available near Coffee House outside airport.



Since our main agenda was to attend wedding, but being in a new city we had to sneak out at a point ;) and Kailasagiri Hill top was our destination considering the time constraint.

I was impressed with the transport and people trying to help you with directions. You get share autos to almost anywhere. There are neat classy metro city buses as an option.
Share autos - 5/- to 20/- depending on the distance.

You can get buses or share autos to Maddelapalem, from this junction you will have to again change auto or bus towards Kailasagiri. Its beside the beach so I believe perfect destination for a short hop over in the city.
There is a mall right at Maddelapalem junction with Inox in case you wish to enjoy a movie for movie lovers like me.



Fun part was the Rope way we had to take to reach Hill Top
Entry - 10/-
Ropeway to and fro - 80/- per ticket



The view was definitely worth going - you can see whole city and breathtaking foggy beach view which reminded my friend of Pirates Of Caribbean with so many boats near the shore.

City and Beach View from Kailasagiri Hill Top

There is nothing much to see on top except the 360 view. Do not even think of taking a train which takes you around as the ticket cost of 100/- is not at all worth. I would recommend to just walk around or on the track.

We sat down peacefully by the road after coming down, treating our eyes and soul to the amazing beach view and breeze.



The city - roads, pathways, beaches are amazingly clean - Hatsoff to the people of Vizag



Since our stomachs were full with wedding food, I do not have anything on the local food but from the wedding menu - local sweets like Obattu (Mini Paratha with sweet filling of daal and Mawa),

Boori - fried one with amazing sweet filling inside -

 And of course if you are not from andhra - do try Andhra meals - pappu, rice, rasam - best meal in South India.

For sea food lovers - east Andhra is paradise.

Majestic Bus station at 10 PM gave us two options - Towards Agumbe via Shimoga OR Hampi via Hospet. We chose: Hampi There is no direct bus to Hampi. You have to go to Hospet - 13 KM from Hampi. We did't find seat in local bus direct to Hospet so we had to divert towards Belari, 62 Km from Hospet. It was already 11:30PM so we took the normal deluxe bus. Majestic to Belari - 330/-  Belari to Hospet - 110/-  Hospet to Hampi - 13- We reached Hampi around 8 AM and got freshen up and took bath in the Bathing complex available everywhere in Hampi, quite clean for a backpacker. After breakfast we continued to explore Hampi. It is a lovely place mostly crowded with tourists and foreigners. It is almost like Goa having eateries, shacks with music and market having shops selling stones, cotton apparels, jewels, generally hippie stuff. They have small guest houses as well which can cost 500/- off season . Get a small map and make sure you covered everyth...

Time out with Monks - Bylakuppe

Time out with Monks Bylakuppe – first thing came in my mind, is this a place’s name. When I went through the details found on internet it was hard to believe that it is a Tibetan settlement in Karnataka. I was ready right at that moment to visit this place coming weekend. North east India has been my favourite place and staying in south India it was difficult to plan a trip all the way there. That was the reason I was super excited to find Bylakuppe here in south 248 KM from Bangalore . You can catch any KSRTC bus going to Mysore or Coorg as BK is on the way which takes 4hours 30min from Bangalore. Only one private bus is available on Red Bus. I and my backpacker travel mate and friend booked private bus as we were travelling late night and was not sure about the place. We got down at BK around 4:45 AM. It was still dark and a tea shop was open near the small Bus stand. As BK is famous for its Golden Temple we asked them the way to Golden Temple and started walking with o...
