Situated 9 kms to the north of Jodhpur, Mandore was the capital of Marwar prior to the foundation of Jodhpur standing on a plateau overlooking the present Mandore Gardens. The extensive gardens with high rock terraces make it a popular local attraction and a picnic spot.
The gardens contain the cenotaphs of Jodhpur rulers, and the largest and the finest of them all, the soaring memorial to Maharaja Ajit Singh. Here, one may find a captivating collection of cremation-site memorials, mostly 17th-18th century set amidst surprisingly green, clean and hassle-free gardens. |  Comments (11) |  Add as favourites (128) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 1151

 Kerala |
Kerala, this tiny little state of India, situated on the south west corner of India, has the most enterprising and industrious people in the country. A land of lovely palm- fringed wide sandy beaches and lush green vegetation all over. A journey along Kerala's coast takes one through sheets of tender green paddy fields, cardamom groves and slopping plantations of tea and tapioca. | Though this land of rivers and backwaters, busy raising valuable cash crops like tea, rubber, cardamom, coffee and cashewnut, it still lives at the leisurely pace of ageless craft plying in canals and backwaters. Kerala offers one of the best beaches in the country at Kovalam and one of the finest wildlife sanctuaries at Thekkady (Periyar Wildlife sanctuary) the home of a magnificent variety of tropical flora and fauna, a paradise resplendent in nature' s glory.Comments (11) | Add as favourites (133) | Quote this article on your site | Views: 1165 |

The best bet is to hit the beach from Vishakhapatnam for a scenic ride. .Bheemunipatnam is 24 kms from Visakhapatnam .The beach is located at the mouth of the river Gosthani. The remnants of the Dutch can be seen as forts and cemeteries. The landscape is typical and will leave an imprint with a difference. The 25 Kms stretch of road literally hugging the coastline from Visakhapatnam is simply breathtaking. |
On the way one can venture into "Erramattidibbalu", beautiful formation of red sand, or the shallow waters of the unending beach. Bheemili a sleepy little town, is the second oldest municipality in the country. The colonial past of the town is evident in the remains of a once thriving Dutch Settlement. River Gosthani at the mouth of which Bheemili lies forms an alluring recess to the town. The important landmarks of Bheemili includes, pilgrimage centers, temples, old churches, clock tower, light house, port and more.
