Kailasa Temple

Most caves leave the visitor with their mouths open, but which arouses interest because of its uniqueness is the number 16, Kailasa, which is not a cave, but a temple, the world's largest excavated stone monolith . Kailasa immediately reminds the churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia, which is certainly above and, perhaps, inspiration.

Digging a trench in the basalt, the craftsmen were able to isolate a stone monolith of 50 feet long by 33 wide and 30 tall. For a century did not stop chopping block of basalt, starting at the top and emptied following the sides, to complete a temple that well deserves to be World Heritage Site itself, although it is already set as part of Ellora.

As such a task must have seemed little stone cutters, in my free time is devoted to open new galleries and balconies on the walls of the mountain, where they can now enjoy the best views of the temple. Such is the case of the magnificent Hall Lankesvara dug into the trench wall which faces the northern facade of Kailasa, and from the balconies you can enjoy a superb view of the scenes of the Mahabharata that adorn the temple wall.

Bau One Of The Best Vacation Places in Malaysia

Sarawak is the world of Hornbills. As a matter of fact, Sarawak was well known as the habitat of Hornbill. However, do you think that it is the only reason people visit Sarawak? No, it isn’t. There are many places you can visit especially at Bau District.

Wind Cave
It is located in the middle of Bau District, 25 kilometers from Kuching International Airport. When you reach Wind Cave, you will be guided by the park attendant for the cave tracking. When you are inside the cave, you can feel that the wind blowing off your face. Cool, right? Besides the cave, there is a clean and clear river for you to swim. The water is refreshing and a bit cool. The park management also has provided a place for you to have a barbeque. Wind Cave is opened everyday for visitors.

Gawai festival
Gawai festival is one of the attractions. Bau, is the best vacation places to visit for its various festivals. Actually, Gawai is celebrated officially on the 1st of June every year but, at Bau it is celebrated from the month of June to the end of July. Gawai Festival has been believed to be the spiritual ceremony for the spirit of paddy after harvesting. During Gawai, you will be presented by several of spiritual dances and “Gong” musical to be played on that night. “Ngabang” is the activity of visiting friend’s house; you drink and eat everything served to you during Gawai.

Serikin
Serikin is a village located approximately 20 kilometers from Bau District. Actually, there is nothing so special about it but, during weekend there is a big sale occurs at Serikin. There are many things sold like handy crafts, cheap house holds, cloths and delicious food. They are all very cheap. For your information, it is not local men who do the sell but they are Indonesian. Since Serikin is located near the border of Sarawak and Jawa, they came to Serikin to sell various types of things that I have mentioned above. They sell it in a small stall or hut along the road of the Serikin Village. You should go here when you take a vacation at Sarawak.

The culture and the way people communicate here make you feel that Bau district is totally different from other places you have been visited. There are many best vacation places to visit actually, however it is your own decision. It is just my recommendation. I’m honest with myself that you can feel the lifestyle of the Land Dayak.

Mumbai to Lonavala Weekend Vacations

The twin hill stations of Lonavala and Khandala are an ideal break from the hustle and bustle of Mumbai and a great way to experience nature in all its glory. The best time to visit is monsoons as during this time the area comes alive with a lot of waterfalls. It is only during this time that you can enjoy Bhushi Dam and other tourist destinations in their entire splendor.

Get There

Getting to Lonavala is quite easy. The best way would be by road, the added advantage is that it enables you to soak in all the natural sights. There are quite a few waterfalls, valleys and hills to be admired on the way. We took a ‘Neeta Volvo’ from Dadar TT. The tickets are negotiable and we landed ourselves a deal at Rs. 180 per person. This was about half the price of the tickets that could be purchased online.

If you are in a hurry or are a repeat visitor you can also take a train. The ticket would cost you about Rs. 55 and the journey would take about 2hrs 15mins instead of usual 3hrs or so by bus. Of course the website for train tickets is www.irctc.co.in.

If you are a biking or a driving aficionado this is probably your best track from Mumbai.

1. The most popular attraction is the Bhushi Dam and rightly so. This overflows during the monsoons on a series of steps. Put on your bathing clothes and chappals before heading. Enjoy an evening lolling about in cool crystal clear water with your friends sipping hot tea and eating corn.

2. I bet you are tired of visiting all sorts of ‘Pointless Points’ in hill stations around Mumbai. But do not miss ‘Lion’s Point‘ when you are in Lonavala. It is located atop a steel cliff facing the windward side. Hence you get an amazing gale when you stand at its edge. You get a clear view of the valley beneath in all the different shades of green. There are a few ‘reverse waterfalls’, as in the wind speed is so high forceful that it blows the falling water and it rains back up again on the cliff.

3. Meet your forefathers at the Monkey Point and Rajmachi point.

4. Karla Caves is an offbeat tourist spot. It is quite close to Lonavala and best way to reach would be an auto or a bus. There are amazing Buddhist sculptures cut into rocks to be seen here.

5. Find your own waterfall and make a splash under it. There are so many, find one and make it your own.

Unfortunately Lonavala has become quite commercialized. The room rates are expensive. We recommend staying in the city if you plan to tour the area. For lazing a resort may be a better idea. Book your rooms in advance through a website like http://www.travelchacha.com you might find all the rooms to be full if you reach on Friday/Saturday.

Eat
The main market has lot of restaurants . Varied options like Veg, Non Veg, Drinks etc are available.

Shopping
Lonavala is famous for Chiki. You can find a lot of different varieties Peanut, Coconut, Til etc. Stock up on this here. Maganlal and A1 Chiki are two famous shops. Also try Anjir which is a lot softer and Choclate Chiki/Anjir/Barfi/Fudge. The chocolate stuff was awesome!
