 Two years back when I visited Delhi, Agra and Jaipur, I left India
with an urge to come back. This year the pleasure came without a bang!
At the beginning, I was a stranger, but in the end this two weeks I
was aware of all the famous temples and heritage sites of South India
together with a memorable experience of house-boat stay and camping in
the dark forests of Periyar! Everything was thrilling! We also enjoyed
the complimentary tea session on the high hills of Ooty. I also
enjoyed the boat ride on Periyar Lake and we even saw a herd of
elephants comprising atleast a dozen animals, all of them playing with
the silent waters of the lake, creating hoardes of fun. No doubt, it
was the best tour I had ever been with..
