Vaishno Devi- Jammu in India

From Childhood I am visiting this place. The place where I feel peace. We all have faith in our goddess that she fulfils all wishes. From the bottom of my heart I believe this. As she has fulfilled all my wishes too.

And yes it is one of the best place to visit specially during winters. You can reach directly to Jammu by direct train or by direct flights. We also have special trains running this season, only for Vaishno Devi. Jammu is a big city. Famous for dry fruits, woollens and many more. From Jammu, one has to travel to Katra, a place from where a journey to Vaishno Devi starts. After reaching Katra you can book a hotel and freshen up. And get ready for the Yatra.

Vaishno Devi is 14km long journey which we have to complete by walking on the mountain. Good path is made to reach the temple. Everything is available in between the places. Sheds are made to rest. You can see people dancing and singing everyone is enjoying the yatra. You can see Himalayan range beautifully covered with snow.

MAA - Means mother of all humans, Mata Vaishno Devi fulfils all wishes of her devotees. Through out a walk we can see people continuously calling her name.

 Mata saves all her devotees from evil. As she saved many from Bhairav. After we complete our darshan of Mata, there is one more temple at the height of Bairav nath. It is said that one should complete his/her yatra after bowing heads at bhairav nath temple, then only it is said that Yatra is complete.
People of different religion, caste come to worship here. It is also said that Akbar has made the temple of Mata Vaishno Devi. Akbar - who was a Mughal emperor also strongly believed in Mata Vaishno Devi

Himalayas never seen before at Manali- India

Himalayas the highest mountain range in this earth. The best to stay is Manali in Himachal Pradesh.
Its not only to see the snow, but lot more to do. What we see every where is white snow, beautiful day .
Sunrise  : - Yes one of the best thing to see is sunrise in the morning, amazing view, sunlight falls first on the mountains, the shine, the white snow, the morning, feels awesome!!! The sunrise never seen before.
Cycling:- The best way to explore any area is to drive yourself and find out some more new things to know. So cycling is the best way to find out different places. I think there is one club in Manali with all kind of games.
Trekking:_ Anyone would love to do so. Tracking is the best to enjoy Himalayan mountain. There are camps who arrange tracking. Call them they will tell you the day and the timings.
Playing:- Going with Kids! Then there are lots of things to do in the snow. Sledge are available, paragliding is amazing, you can see a wonderful scene all over the mountains. Playing with Snow is one of the best experience with kids, they love to do that. And yes there will be lot more to eat also.

Except Manali the best place is the glass hotel of Himalayas. If its in your budget and you just want to enjoy Himalayas then the best place is Glass hotel. Glass Hotel is the name given by me because there is no walls its all transparent glasses, everywhere. You will feel that you are living in the mountain. You are having dinner with Himalayan beauty, sleeping in the laps of Himalayas, and really feel one of the best place you have been to. You will see some pictures here, I found out all this images from goggle. Its one of my dream to be there. But its expensive for me. But will definitely be there one day. Till then you people can explore and can share your amazing experience with us.
Lets talk some thing more about glass hotel. I think its a resort than a hotel, as all the five star facilities provided by them. It would be difficult to bring all the daily routine things to resort. As it is on height, and the places on height, like on the mountain face some difficulty, people find difficulty to bring water, food and to go to work and back to home. The day to day life would be difficult to those who are surviving on such places. Their most of the living is depended on tourist only.

Shopping -the worlds favourite thing that all women like to do. So the best thing you can buy from himalayan places is woollen or warm clothes. Carpets, ornaments, home décor and lot more. You will see different kinds of hand work on each and every thing, Wooden work can be seen on the all of the things. Beautiful hand work seen on the cloths, lovely carpets and  shawls. You can buy Pashmina from some places, they are very thin but they are warm also. They are expensive, but take care you buy original one.

The KIte Festival In Rann of Kutch is amazing. December and January is the best season to be a part of Rann festival.

And Now The Kite Festival Goes on till Night also see the images

Makar Sankranti or Kite fying festival falls every year on 14th January of every year. It is celebrated as uttarayan as the Sun moves towards north. In hindi Uttar means North. Its a state holiday in the states where this festival is celebrated. At times one will not be able to see the sky because sky is full of colourful kites. All the family members of the home are at terrace, their food, hats, juice, chairs, even loud speakers are on the terrace. They Eat together, fly kites and if they cut anyone else's kite, then they scream as they have won the game. Ya its a sort of game.
They bring thousands of kite day before uttarayan, they clean up the terrace, arrange for loud speakers, and new dresses. Women of the houses prepare special foods for the day like chikki or sesame bar, and much more. Women also actively take part in this festival.
As the climate is not too hot, nor too cold, so many fruits of the season are also available. Its picnic at our own terrace.
We can hear lots of noise, music, and laughter. Everybody is enjoying, playing, and having fun. Even if anybody loses his or her kite then also they are happy and celebrating the festival.

I don't know whether it has any history related story or not, but what I come to know was it is celebrated for togetherness. Some part of the country it is celebrated as the harvesting festival. But here we are taking about Gujarat. So it is celebrated for peoples love and to have fun.

Even at night the dark night also get some more manmade stars to it. The night kites from all over makes sky looks so amazing, you don't want to even blink your eyes for a moment.

So the best time to visit Uttarayan is 14th jan of every year.

TURQUOISE ICE LAKE BAIKAL RUSSIA

HY There!!! I luv natural places.... God has created so many beautiful places in the world...

Lake Baikal-

Lake Baikal is a rift lake in the south of the Russian region of Siberia, between the Irkutsk Oblast to the northwest and the Buryat Republic to the southeast. Wikipedia

The Transparency shows the purity of water , it is said to be the purest water found on this earth.

It is so pure that we can see under it. It is also one of the oldest lake in the world.

In the picture above you can see its purity. It is also known as PEARL OF SIBERIA. It is surrounded by high mountains, wild flowers all over and greenery.
From Listvyanka you can go by boat to the Bolshoie Koty, in the hearth of Baykal national park. One way costs 180 rubles, but you cannot buy tickets in advance (only in Irkutsk, I think). First boat goes from Listvyanka at 10, last at 16 o'clock. From there you can get by boat at 18.00 or by foot by Baykal tourist trail. It is around 18 kilometres and the most of the path goes around the shore of a lake. From Bolshoie Koty you can go to the Irkutsk by the same boat. It costs 360 rubles (summer 2008).
In the winter there is an ice road from Listvyanka to Bolshoie Koty.
From Listvyanka you can go to the Port Baykal that lies on the opposite side of river Angara. Boat costs 56 rubles (summer 2012) and goes from the place just under the Baykal limnological museum. It takes around 5 minutes to get there. However it is recommended to go the other way, from Port Baykal to Listvyanka.
To Port Baykal you can go by train as well. Remaining part of old Circum-Baikal Railway line goes from Sludyanka at the southern corner of the lake. It takes around 4 to 6 hours, since the train is really slow. But you have time to look around, because the railway is going by the shore of the lake. It costs 46 rubles. It is so slow because it is the old Baykal railroad was built around 100 years ago.
- Wikitravel

I just wanted to say that in a lifetime one should do visit such places in the world.

Plankton are diverse group of organism that live in water column and cannot swim against water current, therefore we are able to see them with waves.
