After a tiring day I wokeup to the sound of birds After a tiring day I wokeup to the sound of birds and a steady flowing stream in the Grand kalunduwa water front resort. While I was brewing my tea in my room,I heard some song very loud, for a fleeting moment. And again in few seconds I heard that again. I kept hearing the songs every few minutes. I went out to the kitchen and enquired with the working staff to know that those were tuk tuks selling buns and bread for the locals. These trucks circled the roads once in the morning and then again in the evening during tea time. I read somewhere that now during the #pandemic,these trucks are permitted to deliver bread loaves right at the door steps. This is very much the Zomato or Swiggy , but running business the traditional Srilanka way. These tuk tuks are called Choon Paan.
The afternoon sun was blazing and as we reached th The afternoon sun was blazing and as we reached the base of #Sigiriya where the steps began,we were drenched in sweat.We began the ascend slowly and observed sign boards to maintain silence and not to disturb the Wasps! To add more horror , the locals who were sheltering after their lunch warned us about a wasp attack on some tourists that morning. We quietly made our ascend. Once we reached the summit,all that we could see was an enormous stretch of lush green forest and the shades of the green varying as the sun played a game of hide and seek in-between the clouds. I wondered and questioned the photographer how on earth during the 5th Century did the king bring in those materials to build a fort palace at such a height. Did he and his queen(s) really climb all these steps huffing and puffing.? Sometimes #history just leaves you awestruck and enthralled.
Have you ever dreamt of places inspired by books a Have you ever dreamt of places inspired by books and been dying to visit such places.? #Sigiriya was one such place for me. If you have read #Ponniyinselvan, you would be familiar with the place called “Simhagiri” where Arulmozhivarman aka Rajarajacholan disguises himself as a mahout and goes around with the Buddhist monks. I was all elated to be in the same Simhagiri (now called Sigiriya ),where the mighty king once walked and lived. In the 8 days long trip to #Srilanka, I made sure this was the first stop. #memories

The word “Bhutan” translates to “Land of the The word “Bhutan” translates to “Land of the Thunder Dragon.” It earned the nickname because of the fierce storms that often roll in from the Himalayas. It is also the first country in the world with specific constitutional obligations on its people to protect the environment requiring per mandate that at least 60 percent of the nation must remain under forest cover at all times. . . #factstoknow #buddhism #visitbhutan #bhutantourism #greenandblue #prayerflags #prayerflagsinthewind #kingdomofhappiness #bhutan #colorsinthesky #nature #vacation #lonelyplanet #exploretocreate #passionpassport #travel #travelphotography #travelgram #bloggersofinstagram #instagood #instadaily #himalayas #mountains #explore #vacation @tourismbhutan @bhutangram #landscapes #green #scenic
With 70% of the land area covered by forests, Bhut With 70% of the land area covered by forests, Bhutan is a model on how responsible tourism can be encouraged. The Royal family of Bhutan places the welfare of the country and its subjects as the top most priority and ensures that controlled approach to tourism helps the country to earn revenue but at the same time not destroy its natural beauty. . . . #factstoknow #buddhism #visitbhutan #bhutantourism #greenandblue #prayerflags #prayerflagsinthewind #kingdomofhappiness #bhutan #colorsinthesky #nature #vacation #lonelyplanet #exploretocreate #passionpassport #travel #travelphotography #travelgram #bloggersofinstagram #instagood #instadaily #himalayas #mountains #explore #vacation @tourismbhutan @bhutangram #landscapes #green #scenic
Did you know the significance of the colors in the Did you know the significance of the colors in the prayer flags that are so associated with all Buddhist destinations... Prayer flags come in sets of five - one in each of five colors. The five colors are arranged from left to right in a specific order - blue, white, red, green, and yellow. The five colors represent the five elements and the 5 pure lights. Different elements are associated with different colors for specific traditions, purposes and sadhana. Blue symbolizes the sky and space, white symbolizes the air and wind, red symbolizes fire, green symbolizes water, and yellow symbolizes earth. According to Traditional Tibetan medicine, health and harmony are produced through the balance of these five elements. . . . #factstoknow #buddhism #visitbhutan #bhutantourism #greenandblue #prayerflags #prayerflagsinthewind #kingdomofhappiness #bhutan #colorsinthesky #nature #vacation #lonelyplanet #exploretocreate #passionpassport #travel #travelphotography #travelgram #bloggersofinstagram #instagood #instadaily #himalayas #mountains #explore #vacation @tourismbhutan @bhutangram
