Varkala, Kerala

 When one thinks of an unforgettable holiday in Kerala, the backwaters of Alleppey, the fishing nets of Cochin, the sandy beaches of Kovalam, the tea gardens of Munnar, the grasslands of Wayanad, the hills of Thekkady and the elephants of Periyar come to mind. But there is also a lonely railway station that one passes on many train journeys through Kerala, often unaware of its significance. It is the beach town of Varkala.

The beauty of Varkala stems from its unique location. It is literally a beach on a cliff. The town takes its name from this unique cliff structure known as the Varkala Formation. It has been declared a geological heritage site by the Geological Survey of India (GSI). It is the only town in Kerala with cliffs on the Arabian Sea and is unique in India.

The area is crucial in the history of India, as it was a notable trading post, most notably known as Muziris in the younger Chera nation.

Gadisar Lake, Jaisalmer

  Gadisar Lake, Jaisalmer  On the outskirts of Jaisalmer in the arid state of Rajasthan lies the beautiful Gadisar Lake, which is like an oasis in the heart of the desert. In mediaeval times, there were no canals, irrigation systems or other scientific methods to bring water to the arid regions of Rajasthan. This reservoir was built by Raja Rawal Jaisal to meet the needs of his people. Located near the Jaisalmer fort, the lake is a welcome change from the hot and dry desert climate. Gadisar Lake offers picturesque views of the lake and the adjoining fort, especially when the eastern sky is blood red and the sun rises and hits its rays on the upper floors of the Jaisalmer fort. Whether you want to spend some quiet time alone or have fun with your family, Gadisar Lake has a handful of experiences to offer. You can go boating on the lake or simply take a stroll along the shore. If you visit the lake in winter, you may even be lucky enough to spot exotic migratory birds from the nearby

  Jaisalmer Desert Safari, Jaisalmer Jaisalmer in Rajasthan is visited by tourists for its vast desert sands. Popular desert safaris in Jaisalmer take place in the Sam Sand Dunes.  A jeep will take you to a point near the Sam Sand Dunes (about 45 km from the city) from where the camel ride begins, which takes about 90 minutes. You will also stop at some attractions along the way. The safaris can be done in the morning or evening, followed by a delicious meal and a musical dance programme showcasing the local culture of Rajasthan.  If you do not want to indulge in this and opt for a fancy experience, there are some operators like Trotters who will take you to the Khuri Sand Dunes. The meal is modest and the tent is pitched for you, making it perfect for stargazing.
