Hotel CAG Pride Coimbatore

<br>When we decided to zero in on ooty and kodai for our very recent tour,we did some mapping and found that coimbatore was the ideal location to start our tour since it was in middle of ooty and kodai. We were about 8 of us and we needed a minivan for tour so we again started hunting on google for a suitable car rental company, who had a good airconditioned tempo traveller. We found Kannan Tours &amp; Travels Pvt Ltd as one of the leading ...

Namaste from Coimbatore!<br><br>We had an eventful escape from Ooty by miniature train. It is a beautiful journey, starting off in tea plantations wreathed in cloud and mist, and then descending into steamy jungle with big bright flowers and colourful villages. The train was full of holidaying Indians who cheered and clapped every time we went through a tunnel.<br><br>The journey down takes about 3 and a half ...

... familiarizing ourselves with the organization and trying to figure out in which areas we could spend our time. It is quite a large place with some buildings spread out over different streets and they have a few projects on the go, like the women´s co-op (sewing fabulous purses, cushions,yoga bags etc), making paper, card making, the goat project (which provides milk and makes soap), silk spinning, and then there is of course the ...

... amp; heater and my own bathroom with piping hot water. So all needs are met. I will be comfy and cozy here for the month. The cooking lesson was fantastic and it is amazing how easy it is to make great tasting food using a few ingredients and lots of different spices. She also taught us a lot in terms of Ayurveda medicine what each herb does or can do for the body if used to treat ailments or prevention of various illnesses, including diabetes which is totally amazing.... if the ...

We left Cherai at 8 in the morning and headed for Periyar Wildlife Reserve, some 6 hours away in the Western Ghats, with our driver and Ambassador car. It's only about 150km away, but the roads don't allow to go very fast, nor do you really want them to be going much faster than about 40 or 60 kph. The drive out of the backwaters takes you along little roads passing the canals and crossing over rickety bridges and you slowly start to climb. First you pass rubber tree farms, then tapioca and ...

Od pobrezi jsem se vydala do hor na cajove plantaze. Nez jsem se dala do jejich objevovani sla jsem k holici, coz jsem dlouho odkladala a jak se pozdeji ukazalo opravnene. Kluci dopadli podobne jak ja, i reakci od mistnich meli stejnou. Uvedu to asi takto. Ve Vietnamu a v Cine jsem dopadala lepe a to neumeli slovo anglicky. Tady ti reznici neco umi, ale vse a kazdeho strihaji na jedno brdo. Dopadla jsem jak indicky skolacek. Takze fotky mne jen tak neuvidite ...

... with elaborate carvings, murals, paintings, tile mosaics, and color. Color of every imagining. They even have stained glass in the ceiling of the main room. There's a huge, square formal room that you first walk into that contains several massive pillars arranged in a circle in the center of the room. In this center spot if you look straight up there's a stunning stained glass roof that brings natural light into the area. It is cordoned-off so you can't walk inside it. Not ...

... A Tea Estate: seeing the tea pickers trim leaves from the tea trees (the tea tree is an evergreen, so it is never fully harvested - instead it is trimmed). The Mattupetty Dam: A large hydroelectric dam that apparently had been constructed to provide power for the tea processing factories. Echo Point: a nice ghat that leads to a ledge on the river bank. If you shout from the ledge you'll hear a powerful echo ringing through ...

... relaxation outside of the city. It was a really good opportunity to decompress and process. I'm still very impressed how IHP seems to know exactly when we need an opportunity to step back for a bit and think about all we have seen and experienced. Afterwards we went to see a banyan tree ... the third largest in the world. There are a lot of monkeys that live in it, that look like little babies with wise old man faces that are wrinkled like a walnut. They're very cute but not so nice ...

... all of a sudden: "Umm, guys, I need to use a bathroom" We pulled up at a hotel, which was actually a restaurant, not a hotel, and I sought out the toilet. After searching for a good while, I had to resign myself that this hole in the ground with the jug of water beside it was where I had to go. I have to say though, despite the conditions, it was probably the most welcome toilet in the world. I used the water in the jug to flush it, and then went back through to ...
