Good travelogue and nice pictures. You guys definitely had a nice break; but it appears that Pondy was still hot and humid - which is a bit of a pain.

Very nice pictures. Good travel piece. Excellent work.

Hari...

Nice pictures... Now I don't know whom to praise- the Sony H2 or the Photographer- splendid as usual-

Btw: Time to drill another small hole in your wallet- Change the # plate to the "IND" ones- I saw a similar optra with these plates and same kind of footwear and it was awesome-

If that HAT of yours goes missing, please don't blame me- I don't know nothing about it... It's awesome and no comments about the person wearing it though! lol

Now I understand why this is in Travelogue section and not in the Meet section

hi

is there any direct route to pondi, i mean to say avoiding bangalore all together.
is there any route available from mysore which joins directly at hosur or krishnagiri.

i am planning my trip to pondi on oct 8th 2008. Please help.

Nice pictures Hari and good writeup.

I dont think there is any other shortcut than.

Mysore - Mandya - Bidadi - NICE corridor to Electronic city - Hosur - Krishnagiri onwards. You can bypass the bangalore city

.

You will get more response if you post in the Route Queries.

Beautiful pictures & a nice travelogue Luke. Now I understand why you did not join us. The bakery was truly mouth watering.

Hi everyone:
Has anyone stayed in "Nalla Echo Beach Resort" Pondicherry? Im planning to visit pondi coming weekend and would like to get the review on this resort. I wasn't able to find any review on the net. Please help.

I'm also considering hotels inside the town with sea facing rooms.

Nice snaps. Last year I came across in net about beach facing small houses in Pondi where you can stay and cook (sort of studio + homestay), but not able to hit the same site now. Any help on this will be great.

You can try Ajantha sea view. It is located on the beach road itself, inside the city.

. . Ajanthaseaview Hotel Welcomes you . .

Ajantha Sea View is a good place to stay-all rooms face the beach-have a balcony.Stayed there twice with my family.

Nice write up, Hari. One of my long lost friends live in Pondy and I would love to visit him some day.

mobike008 · 29th April 2009, 18:31
