Hill towns and resorts of Maharashtra are the only places in India where you can observe the fall of the land, all the way to the shimmering sea. This union of hills, plains and the sea is seldom seen elsewhere in India...

It is almost as if a divine hand runs through the geography of Maharashtra. from north to south, throughout its length, are the steeply rising Western Ghats. The foothills, sometimes approaching the seashore and sometimes withdrawing 40 or 50 km away, seem to be playing an eternal game with the Arabian Sea.

Some of the Hill stations are at an altitude of 2000 metres. These towns offer clean, calm and a thoroughly refreshing environment away from city life.

Mahabaleshwar Mahabaleshwar was the summer capital of the erstwhile Bombay Presidency. A popular town, with an air of unspoilt beauty, it meanders leisurely for 5 km at an altitude of 1372 m. You can while away the hours boating or fishing at the placid Venna Lake, or explore the walks on the 30 points that offer panoramic views of the valley and the sea.

The crystal waters of the numerous waterfalls are a delight to bathe in. The adventurous ones could trek down to Pratapgarh Fort, 24 km away, where Shivaji dramatically bested Mughal General Afzal Khan. You could just roam through the tiny lanes of the bazaar, shopping for everything from shoes to luscious strawberries, blackberries, jams and jellies.

Chikhaldara This is the place where Bheema killed Keechaka in a fight and then threw him into the valley as per the Mahabharta.

The sole hill resort in the Vidarbha region, it is situated at an altitude of 1118 m and has the added dimension of being the only coffee- growing area in Maharashtra. It abounds in wildlife - panthers, sloth bears, sambars, wild bears and the rarely seen wild dogs. The famous Melghat Tiger Project is nearby , which has approx. 75-80 tigers.

Very popular with Mumbaikars, they also alternate as getaways and health resorts. Khandala is the smaller one and more calmer of the two, although ambling through Lonavalas bazaar could yield some wonderful surprises.

Karla, about 12 km from Lonavala, is the site of the largest Chaitya Caves (shrines) in India, built in 80 BC. Amongst the best-preserved Budd hist temples in India, they represent the zenith, in terms of design purity, of this style of temple architecture.

Ladakh Where Time Stands still

Like a landscape on the moon, Ladakh exudes a virgin charm. High on the Karakoram Mountains, unspoilt by the vestiges of civili sation, lies this vast expanse of land denuded by trees or vegetation. But wherever there is water - be it in a river valley or at the base of a glacier - there is greenery and life. Ladakh’s legendary apricot orchards are found here, and vegetables grow to an enormous size because of ultraviolet rays and longer daylight. The cabbages and radish, potatoes and turnips of Ladakh, the Land of the Passes as the name suggests, stand Herculean on the market.

At an altitude of 2,700 m, one comes across weird shapes of landscapes caused by soil erosion. Amidst towering granites and rugged rocks are carved lamaseries. Incense, prayers and music rise to heaven while the lamps burn all night and day. The monasteries seem to hang from the cliffs, with the stupas kissing the sky.

The famous silk route passed through the town of Leh, situated at the apex of a triangular plateau. The 9-storey palace built in the Tibetan architecture by the Namgyals dynasty is a landmark of the town. This palace is said to have inspired the famous Lhasa Palace half a century later.  The largest of all monasteries is Hemis monastery, 48 km east of Leh. The monastery known for its mystifying dance, Thiksey is 19 km from this town.

The summer palace of Shey standing atop a hill and amidst blooming gardens, displays a two-storey image of the Buddha. It is made of brass and copper, gilded with gold and silver, and studded with gems. Your Leh experience is incomplete without visiting the market where a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits are sold. Follow it up with a jeep safari along the Indus Valley, along the river.

A word of caution: the only petrol bunker is 205 km from Srinagar, about midway on the route to Kargil. Except Leh and Kargil, no other part of Ladakh has taxis.

July to September is the trekking season. Guides, ponies and tents are provided by trekking agencies. The most popular is the 10-day Markha Valley trek and undoubtedly the most spectacular the 20-day Zanskar Valley trek from Lamayuru to Darcha in Himachal Pradesh, passing through Zanskar Valley.

The white-water rafting Spituk to Saspol is easy but amateurs are advised to keep away.

The very sight of the Himalayas is inspiring. And there are no places like Mount Kailash and Mansarovar for a spiritually uplifting experience. The source of four great rivers, the two destinations are considered the fountainhead of the world.

For a lifetime pilgrimage, fly from Kathmandu to Lhasa, then drive for five days across The Tibetan plateau to Lake Mansarovar. Do a three-day circumnavigation of Mount Kailash by foot and fly back to Kathmandu. Mount Kailash, a solitary mountain at an altitude of 22,028 ft on the Himalayan plateau in Tibet, is sacred for the Buddhists, Joins and the Hindus alike. Mansarovar, situated at an altitude of 14950 ft in western Tibet, has a circumference of 110 km.

Shillong Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya, the Land of Clouds, is the most motorable of hill stations with a pleasant climate throughout the year. Apart from the scenic beauty of the capital, there are some waterfalls that bring tourists to this place. Elephant Falls, 12 km from the city, are two successive falls on the same stream, while Spread Eagle Falls, 6 km away, and Sweet Falls, 8 km away, are two waterfalls. Sweet Falls has boating, water sports and fishing facilities.

Cherrapunjee, the wettest place on earth, is 54 km from Shillong. It is known for its oranges, honey and handicrafts. For shopping souvenirs, the best place is Sohra market. From Shillong, it is a two-hour drive, passing through spectacular gorges and waterfalls. Mounted butterflies are a good showpiece, and Khasi dresses colourful and decorative. Pineapple and orange products are a good buy. You may try it in Bara Bazaar as well.

Gangtok

Gangtok, the Lofty Hill standing at an altitude of 1780 m, is the capital of Sikkim and an ideal base to reach other parts of the state. Motoring to Gangtok from Siliguri or Darjeeling can be a thrilling experience, as the highway runs along the Teesta river and passes through forests. Travelling within Sikkim is not expensive as distances are short. And the best way to commute in Gangtok is by foot. The Sikkim Helicopter Service can give you glorious views of the mountains and perspectives to photography buffs.

On a hill opposite Gangtok, 26 km away, is the Rumtek Dharma Chakra Centre, the largest monastery in Sikkim, which has 200 centres all over the world. Pemayangtse Monastery, 118 km away, is the second oldest monastery.

  Hand-woven carpets, Lepcha weaving bags, leather wear and woodwork, caps and scarves and jewellery are good buys. Dragon Rings are popular souvenirs. Trekking, water sports, mountain biking, yak safari are adventure sports Sikkim offers. The Orchid Sanctuary featuring some 454 species of orchid, the Flower Exhibition Centre highlighting bonsai among plants, the Ridge Park and the City Millennium Garden are pleasant places to be.

Kaziranga National Park

It is one of India’s finest national parks. Spread over 430 sq km, the park harbours a diversity of wildlife, seen in their natural habitat, but is specially known as the home of the one-horn rhinoceros. On the banks of River Brahmaputra, the terrain Is mostly open marshy grassland, interspersed with deep forests and shallow pools. The open country makes wildlife viewing fairly easy like tiger, leopard, elephant, wild boar, sloth bear, sambhar, hog deer and rock python are frequently seen. UNESCO has declared Kaziranga National Park a world Heritage site.

The Periyar wildlife sanctuary It is one of the largest wildlife reserves In India. A boat ride on the splendid Periyar Lake will unfold the panorama of tea and cardamom plantations set amidst the mountain ranges and herds of wild elephants coming down to the lake to frolic in the waters. Popular as a tiger reserve, the sanctuary has a vibrant diversity of the animal kingdom, which are visible to tourists. It lies a 6-hour drive away from Kochl.

Kanha National Park  that gave Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book Its locale, lies in the middle of India, according to cartographers. The Sal forests, with Its long bamboo clusters, wide stretch of grasslands and windIng and meandering rivers, Is the home of Indian bisons (gaurs). A great many kinds of flora and funa are found in this region.

Yoga is union of breath to the body, of the mind to the muscles and most importantly of the self to the divine. The secrets of the ancient science of Yoga were passed down from the Rishis, saints and sages who yearned for divine inspiration. Through their meditation, austerities and prayers they acquired a treasure-chest of wisdom for the benefit of humanity.

Today, various troubling factors like changing lifestyles, pollution, and overcrowding plague the modern world. Man is faced by many problems like anxiety, stress and fatigue that can throw him off balance in life. Hence there is an increasing quest for ways to instill a lifestyle that can bring peace and contentment. Experts all over the world recommend Yoga, as the panacea for man’s such problems.  Yoga dates back to nearly 5000 years, when it was used as a tool for mental, physical and spiritual upliftment. Despite centuries of research, we still don’t know much about the earliest beginnings of Yoga. We do know, though, that a yogi called Patanjali, who lived centuries ago, defined the fundamentals of Yoga. Yoga has its origin in the Vedas - the oldest known text in any Indo-European language. Sanskrit is the language in which most Yoga scriptures are written. The Sanskrit word Veda means “knowledge,”

Yoga was practiced and taught to very small groups of disciples by Yogis-considered to be men of divinity who were looked upon with reverence.  The history of modern yoga begins when Swami Vivekanand made a big and lasting impression on the American public the Parliament of Religions held in Chicago in 1893. In the, following years, he traveled widely attracting many students to Yoga. His various books on Yoga are still useful and enjoyable to read.

Exploring Yoga  Yoga is a way of life, an integrated system of education for the body, mind and inner spirit. Although this art of right living was perfected and practiced in India thousands of years ago, its teachings are as valid today since yoga deals with universal truths. Yoga is the science of spirit and Ayurveda is the science of the body. Both are sister sciences. The practice of Yoga is an important natural preventive measure to ensure good health. The practice of an Ayurvedic regimen is a precursor to Yoga because it is only when the body is fit that the individual is ready to study the spiritual science of Yoga.

Benefits  Yoga is a life of self discipline based on the tenets of ‘simple living and high thinking”. To the ancient yogis, the body was seen as a vehicle for the soul, and this is a useful metaphor in the modern context. Just like a car requires a battery,  the proper fuel,  a lubricating system, a cooling system, and a responsible driver behind the wheel, so the body has certain needs if it is to function smoothly.

Hence Yoga comprises of:

Proper Exercise -Asanas  In yoga, the physical exercises, called asanas (a Sanskrit word meaning “steady pose”), are non-violent and provide a gentle stretching that acts to lubricate the joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other parts of the body. Asanas help to tone the nervous system, improve circulation, release tension and increase flexibility. They also broaden the mental faculties and enhance the spiritual capabilities. Asanas focus on increasing and maintaining the elasticity of the spine, toning and rejuvenating the nervous system.  Stretching yourself gently, bending and twisting movements bring flexibility to the other joints and muscles of the body as well as massaging the glands and organs. Circulation  is also improved, ensuring a rich supply of nutrients and oxygen to all the cells of the body.

- Yogic Breathing Pranayam  Deep breathing helps to cleanse and nourish the physical body. As you inhale fully, you are supplying an abundance of oxygen. As you exhale, the waste products are being expelled. Breathing also helps to connect the body to its battery, the Solar Plexus, where tremendous potential energy is stored. When tapped through specific Yogic breathing techniques, Pranayam, this vital energy, or prano, is released for physical and mental rejuvenation.

- Proper Relaxation  When the body and mind are continually overworked and stressed, their natural efficiency diminishes. Rest and relaxation are nature’s way of giving the body a chance to recharge. Vedic methods retrain the mind and muscles to relax completely.

- Vegetarian Diet  A meat-free diet enables the body to obtain the maximum benefit from food, air, water and sunlight.  Foods that are easily digested and that promote good health is a part of yogic diet. As well as being simple, natural and wholesome, it takes into account the effect that food has on the mind and body.

- Positive Thinking and Meditation  Body needs a balanced mind that can stay in control. Regular meditation will help you to achieve this, your mind will become clearer and more focused, and your ability to concentrate will improve. Positive thinking will help you to experience inner peace. Yoga consists of practices that are useful in achieving fitness and well being in daily life and in prevention and cure of diseases. Different types of yoga came to be trained for different uses. Among them, the foremost varieties of Yoga include: -

Bhakti Yoga - the Yoga of Devotion, It includes prayer, worship, observing austerities and abstinence and the practice of virtue.

Karma Yoga - the Yoga of duty or action. The two main principles of this yoga are:

(a) To never give up and never fail  in one’s duty

(b) To look equally upon opposites such as success and failure, pleasure and pain, happiness and sorrow, etc. without letting these affect one.

Jnana Yoga - the Yoga of knowledge. It contains three important techniques: breath control, postures and meditation.

Hatho Yoga - the Yoga of bodily practices. This is the most popular type of Yoga in recent times. It consists mostly of yogasanas or yogic practices of the body, meditation and breath control.

The 1965 classic film The Sound of Music has given many timeless songs but what begins to swirl in the head with the arrival of summer is Julie Andrews crooning, “The hills are alive with the sound of music.” More so when the monsoons are less than a month away and the mercury is practically through the roof. It’s that time when the mind begins to hallucinate about ice and snow and longs for faraway lands that are cold and wintry. But if that’s a far shot and the thought of the usual hill stations teeming with masses of people induces depression, then this might help. India is wide and diverse enough to still hide a handful of offbeat hilly destinations that are not overrun by people. Here’s the lowdown.

Chopta - Uttarakhand Known mostly in the trekking and adventure community, Chopta, a little hillside village in Uttarakhand, is also an ideal, quiet getaway. Located at an altitude of nearly 9,000 ft, Chopta is unspoilt and is tucked away amidst Himalayan peaks with fabulous views of Trishul and Nanda Devi. Making it even more scenic arc the forests of deodhar and pine sprinkled with carpets of rhododendrons that surround the village.

Predictably, Chopta receives copious amounts of snowfall during winter but it is the ideal summer destination and is known as mini Switzetland in Uttarakhand. Among the things that make it unusual and a great place to visit are the rare orchids that arc found in the area. It is also the base camp for trekking to Tungnath but if adventure and hardcore mountaineering is not your thing, then you could choose from a variety of other staid activities.

Nearby arc the dense forests of Kedarnath Wildlife Sanctuary, which are home to temperate and alpine trees such as oak, pine and other Himalayan species. As a result, there is incredible diversity in the flora and fauna of the area, which are interspersed with the iconic grasslands known locally as bugyal. The view of the peaks and the valleys, speckled with tiny flowers, is a memorable sight. Other places to visit include Deoria Tal and Atrimuni Falls. An incredible 41 Himalayan peaks are visible from Chopta and its surroundings.

One of Odisha’s seriously stunning scenic environs, the Satkosia Gorge, manned by the waters of the mighty Mahanadi, offers visitors some adventurous eco-centric holiday experiences. The big attraction here is also the Gharial Sanctuary at Tikarpara, the favoured wilderness habitat of gharials and muggers. Located about 190 km from Bhubaneswar, it is accessed from Angul (60 km). Visitors can expect sightings of tiger, leopard, gaur and giant squirrel amongst other denizens for whom these luxuriant forests have been an ancient stomping ground. Another popular attraction is the Bhimdhara Falls which come into their full glory in the rains.

This city is synonymous with exquisite silks and brocades which adorned the courts of India and bridal trousseaus. With royal patronage almost on the decline, it took a bunch of heritage buffs to revive the ancient craft of zardozi, embroidery in gold and silver threads, and today it finds its place on the fashion maps of the world as an inspiring and exquisite craft.

Treasured as priceless heirlooms, handed down from generation to generation, zardozi items have created a rare and beautiful textile tradition in the country. Benarasi brocade, a silk jamdani or a jamavar tanchoi for the Indian bride may be de rigeur, but there is plenty to take home from the wide selection available in the popular markets such as Thatheri Bazaar, City Chowk, Vishwanath Gali and Godaulia. Take your pick from silk scarves and gowns, bolts of silk, stoles, ties and kurtas. Benarasi cottons too have a rich allure.

The Varanasi-Mirzapur-Bhadohi belt is one of India’s most important and biggest carpet weaving markets. Established by some Iranian master craftsmen brought in by Mughal emperor Akbar in the 16th century, 500 weavers continue to address the demands of a huge international market. Many of the stores in Varanasi offer an excellent selection of antique designs as well as more common-use carpets and durrees.

From Kannauj came the famed ittars, rosewater and perfumes—still a flourishing trade in international markets. A visit to a local Benarasi perfumer can be very rewarding. A vial of rosewater from Kannauj is wonderful for gifting. Explore the range of offerings of local crafts at the annual Ganqa Mahotsav.

About 40 km from Jaisalmer is the Desert National Park. This 3,100-sq-km protected sanctuary showcases the flora and fauna of the Thar Desert, complete with sand dunes, lake beds of extinct salt lakes, and thorny scrub. There are a number of migratory birds in the winter. From Jaisalmer city, the most exciting way to see the park is to undertake a jeep safari. Sudasari, run by the local forest department, offers a few rudimentary huts. 

The nearest airport is at Jodhpur, 300 km away, while Jaisalmer city has several train connections.
