Travel with Jayant

Hey friends,  It's been a while since I posted my last blog. Well, the wait is over now! I wanted to tell you about a beautiful place I visited during my trip to Rajasthan in December 2020.  It was the third day of my trip when I reached Kota, Rajasthan. I was coming from Sawai Madhopur (Ranthambore) where I couldn't spot a tiger during my safari. In Kota, I didn't do a lot of research to find all the places to visit. While looking for the main tourist attractions, I came across the name Garadia Mahadev  temple. The place is around 30 km from the city. Most of the places to visit were inside the city so I planned to visit the Garadia Mahadev early morning and then come back to the city.

Being a traveler, COVID-19 has hit very hard on my travel plans in the past year. I had made plans to visit many places within India and international places as well. Unfortunately, it's not over yet and we don't know when will it be. I can understand that it is very hard for you to resist going out after the unlock started in the whole country. But going outside puts more responsibility on us so that we can prevent ourselves and others from getting infected by the Corona Virus. Here are the few tips that I am following before planning my travel and trying to stay safe from the COVID-19 wave. Look for a remote location If you are from Delhi NCR and planning to go outside, the first names that come to your mind are mostly Manali, Shimla, Nainital, or Rishikesh. Well, not a good choice because everyone planning a trip is trying to visit these places which means a lot of people around you. You definitely do not want this. The more the population density more will be the chances

Hope you and your family are safe in this pandemic situation of COVID-19. A couple of weeks back I had a trip to Madurai to vacate my apartment which was pending since May. In this blog, I have shared my experiences of travel during the pandemic. It is going to be a little longer, so grab some coffee and enjoy the live experience.

The Western Ghats is one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in India. It extends from Gujrat to Kerala (North to South) covering Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. The total length of the Western Ghats is 1600 km  with a width of 100 km  covering an area of 160,000 square kilometers. The highest peak in the Western Ghats is Anamudi, Kerala in the Eravikulam National Park with an elevation of 2,695 m   (8,842 ft) .

A word on Coronavirus (COVID-19) I know its a Pandemic! But it is not the first time. We have faced a lot of challenges in our past and always bounced back. Surely, sometimes, it took a little while but YES, we made it!

Rajasthan, India has always been in hype to visit because of its culture, forts, the famous Thar Desert and the food! Normally, it is very hot in summers as most parts of the Rajasthan are covered with desert but winters make it one of the best destinations to visit in India.

I had a great 2019 with so many awesome memories, great life experiences, lots of learning and silly mistakes. I had met a lot of people and learned about a few new cultures and definitely "the food" 😋 . To be exact, I had a total of 33 visits to different places including an international trip to Sri Lanka.

Fortunately, one of my friend's marriage was also fixed for December 2nd which I would not be able to attend. Since he lives in Chennai and I was in Madurai, we decided to meet before his marriage somewhere in between the two cities. Initially, we were exploring all hill stations that comes between Madurai and Chennai and made a small list including Yelagiri, Kalrayan Hill Forests, and Yercaud.
