The day when history came alive

My travel itinerary is usually filled with tiny hamlets in the lap of a mountain, a serene seaside town, or the dark greens of a dense tropical forest. Sanchi is not any of them, but it offered an unexpected peace that settled deep within. Nestled on a hilltop, Sanchi was a different travel experience for me. This blog is not just about the facts and figures of this world heritage site, but the feeling it evoked in me that day.

Where the water holds a memory

You search for the tourist attractions around Chikmagalur, the famous coffee destinations in India, and one name keeps appearing: Ayyanakere Lake. The photos in the search results promise a breathtaking vista, but what you are missing is a legend of two friends to whom every picturesque sunset pays a tribute.
