Some places in India need a special mention - Start up series ...

As it seems at times, "Oh ! I've been here before ... seen it happen ... the next turn over the road has a shanty with red colour flag atop ...

We have maybe been here subconsciously or somehow our imaginations have landed here before we did. In the last couple of years I've visited the north and the east side of India. The places included Jammu, Darjeeling and Mcleodganj. With the view of lovely mountains and plateaus one cannot compare them to each other, they are simply beautiful.

Patnitop

Paragliding at Patnitop


Patnitop hill

Some 112 kilometers of Jammu we went to Patnitop. There we had our first experience with snow fall. The words disappear to describe the same, its amazing, we were awestruck. Within the next two days we were playing in snow which was about three to four feet deep and it was so much fun. It was white everywhere.

Darjeeling

Darjeeling has a beauty of its own, surrounded by the mountains, the climate was very misty, foggy and cold. It has many places to see and visit like the tiger hills ( a place from where one can watch the Mount Everest,, Kanchanjunga and K7 ), a lovely zoo with white wolves and some exotic animals.

Mcleodganj

Mcleodganj is a place with nice food, nice view and lots of monasteries. It is a very good place with nice people around. We stayed there for around four days and were very happy with the pleasant weather. In the evenings we would look out for new restaurants and try the momos there. There they make it very good.

Bhopal


This is Bhopal - Welcome to the City of Lakes

I live here. Being born and brought up in Bhopal, I am pretty attracted and attached to it. There are so many places to visit (in and around) that perhaps it'll take a good amount of time to exhaust them completely. 1 months time should be good enough time for a travel enthusiast to enjoy such a place to the fullest.

The nearby places include Panchmari, Chidikhoh, Barrusot, Mandu, Sanchi, Raisen fort, Bhojpur and some 30 to 40 additional places to name a few. Here is what Wikipedia has to say for Bhopal ...

Bhopal is the capital of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh and the administrative headquarters of Bhopal district and Bhopal division. The city was the capital of the former Bhopal State. Bhopal is known as the City of Lakes for its various natural as well as artificial lakes and is also one of the greenest cities in India. It is the 17th largest city in the country and 131st in the world.

A Y-class city, Bhopal houses various educational and research institutions and installations of national importance, including ISRO's Master Control Facility, BHEL, and AMPRI. Bhopal is home to the largest number of Institutes of National Importance in India, namely IISER, MANIT, SPA, AIIMS, NLIU and IIIT (currently functioning from a temporary campus inside MANIT) .

Bhopal was selected as one of the first twenty Indian cities (the first Phase) to be developed as a smart city under PM Narendra Modi's flagship Smart Cities Mission.
