The Narration of tribal Beauties Never be End, The Major portion of the tribal habitat is on Hilly and Forest Areas, Where about 65% of the land in Odisha covered with forests and about 64 tribes were founded in Odisha itself Out of which 437 tribes of India. Above all the tribal villages are generally found in Areas away from the alluvial plains which are close to the river Area's. All these tribal Area's were found in between 1750 ft to 4800 ft above from the sea level. Most of the villages are monoethnic in composition, and smaller in size. Some Villages are often riot planned at all. Most of the villages fairs, Haat area's were strictly prohibited for photography. As this tour follows with a series of sloppy Green valleys, Parallel High hill landscapes, Dazzling streams, fountains, waterfalls, Tribal Music’s, Green Carpet of Paddy fields, Dams, Lakes, Hydro-electricity power projects, Hanging Bridge, temples, Old Palaces, Industrial Urbanisation flavours with tribal spirit had defused the participants Whose were finally taken another Oath as “Manoj Sir, Once More such a tour Again with some different route with Other tribal Spirit in Odisha”.

Trek to Kumaraparvata-2013 [Dakshina Kannada], Karnataka, India

(My trekking On South India's TOUGHEST Peak Kumaraparvata with family) 

Me with my family and trekmate Mr. Shambhuprasad from Bangalore

Kumara Parvatha in Dakshina kannada[DK] ( Kumarparvata) is a trekker’s paradise, located on the border between the Dakshina Kannada[DK] [southern karnataka] and Kodagu districts of Karnataka. The highest point is the Pushpagiri temple at 1710 mts from the sea level. The whole region falls under the Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary. 

Biggest draw to the trek is difficulty level of the route and the freedom to pitch the tent at the top (I mean, literally at the very top). Trek to Kumara Parvatha(to Pushpagiri Temple) is considered to be one of the most challenging treks in Karnataka. There are two approaches to the Pushpagiri temple, one from Beedahalli(7kms – Kodagu district) and other one from Kukke Subramanya(14kms – Dakshina Kannada[DK] district). Generally, one side is the approach route and the other side is the descent route, based on ones choice.

A Trip to Manali, Kullu & Naggaar Castle In Himanchal Pradesh

The most charming and beautiful Kullu valley spreads out its charm on either side of river Beas. Kullu was once known as Kulanthpitha, which means the end of the habitable world. Beyond rose the forbidding heights of the Greater Himalayas and by the banks of the shining river Beas, lay the fabled 'Silver Valley'. The valley runs north to south of Beas river and is 80 km long and about 2kms wide.

This town is famous for its temples and the annual Dushera festival, both of which attract thousands of tourists. The town of Kullu has long been a centre of faith. In 17th century, Raja Jagat Singh installed here an idol of Lord Raghunathji, which he brought from Ayodhya. As a mark of his penance, he placed the idol on his throne and it became the presiding deity of the valley.

Kullu is located in the central part of the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is located at an altitude of 1200 m above sea level at the confluence of Beas and Sarvari rivers. It is 240 km north of Shimla.

Manavaanoor Base Camp at Kodaikanal, Kerala

Location: India > Tamilnadu > Dindigul > Kodaikanal To Kerela > Munnar

 The permission should be obtained for a trek from Berijam lake to Top Station. Berijam is a secluded lake about 24 kms from Kodai and special permission is required to enter place. This permission too is available at the DFO office at 10 am everyday (except Mondays and Tuesdays). In case the permission is not available for Berijam, you might have to start your trek from Poondi village. At the other end, Top Station is 34 kms from Munnar and is in Theni district of TN. However, in the course of your trek, you would be crossing into Kerala for sometime atleast. 

The trek distance is 22 miles or about 36 kms. The initial 20 kms would be on a wide jeep track which is still in use. Diversions could be confusing. The first major one is about 2 kms from Berijam where there are 3 roads intersecting - take the right. Proceed further through beautiful Pine forest for another 4 kms where you get a fork - a track to the right going downwards and one straight on, in the same plane — Continue straight on. Another 4 kms later, you should see around 4 dilapidated buildings which were formerly forest quarters at ‘Vandaravu’. Berijam to this forest quarters should take about 3 to 3.5 hours of trekking.
