A fort built in 5 days - Panchalankurichi


A fort in Panchalankurichi tells us how our great and brave freedom fighters fought against the British and died for our freedom. One among such a legend was Veerapandiya Kattabomman, a brave warrior who laid down his life for his motherland. Panchalankurichi Fort holds the greatest record - it was built in five days with new techniques.

I started my journey to know more about this legend and about the fort to the town of Panchalankurichi from Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu . (Click here to read full text of my trip)

Mahabaleshwar

My trip to this hill station started from the Bollywood city of Mumbai. I took a bus from Dadar one of the busiest places in Mumbai.

During my trip I did various activities I visited ancient temples, beautiful points of Mahabaleshwar, unforgettable trek to Pratapgad Fort, a stronghold of the Maratha leader Shivaji, boating at lake and finally roamed through the tiny lanes of the bazaar, and did some shopping from luscious strawberries, blackberries, jams and jellies.

The hardest and most dangerous trek at Parvathamalai

The hardest, tiring and the most dangerous trek in my life was at Parvathamalai – Hill of Hill on a full moon day. It took almost 10 hours inside the deep hill forest to trek without any lights, water and food in the hardest rocks to reach 3,000 feet hill top. There's a Shiva temple at the top of the Parvathamalai hill. Devas and spiritual beings from other lokas worship here every night along with Siddhas. (Click here to read the full text of the trek)
