And if you don’t believe me, just ask Trip Advisor, where Milford Sound was given a “Travelers’ Choice Destination” Award.
One Minute Encounter With a TuskerA family visit to the Corbett National Park near Nainital, India. We were in the buffer zone of the National Park and unlikely to see tigers although Forest Rangers told us we may see them if we were luck and choose to take a very early morning safari. A minor error on the part of our jeep driver angered a tusker and for just a moment or so we were in danger of a charge!!
Malana and Malabar – Vestige of Greek InfluenceStrange are the tales from the past. I heard about this quaint village near Kullu called Malana where the remnants of Alexander the Great’s soldiers stayed behind and whose lineage lives to date in this remote village? Tales such as these regale you at cocktail parties and at times leave a lasting impact, if the story teller weaves a compelling story. And in this case, an Army Officer certainly did. Likewise I read an interesting article on the origin of the Thiyyas of North Malabarbased on the book “Crete to Kerala” by MM Anand Ram. Both these tales leave a lingering sense of the probable, although not adequately supported by facts.
