Are you a Resident of Hyderabad? Do you want to visit Goa for the long weekend by your own vehicle (Bike/ Car)? If you have a scooter then also you can manage to go by your vehicle. But just remember you have to take 15 minutes to break for every on average of 80km (depending on the capacity of the scooter). So, let's plan our Goa trip for a long weekend. Here I am considering my vehicle as Honda Activa (125cc Scooter) and I am planning to leave from Jubilee Bus station. Sthala Purana of Gokarna Gokarna  is a small temple town on the western coast of India in the  Kumta  taluk of  Uttara Kannada  district of the state of  Karnataka .  The main temple and deity are Lord  Shiva , who is also known as  Mahabaleshwara . This temple houses what is believed to be the original image of  Lord Shiva 's  linga  (Atmalinga). The earliest history of the city is in  Treta Yuga ,  Ravana  (Demon/Asura King of Lanka) reaches Kailasa and performed rigorous penance to get the "Atma Linga&q

Ahobilam in one day

Ahobilam is traditionally regarded as the place where Vishnu in the form of Narasimha killed the  rakshasa   Hiranyakashipu  in order to save his devotee Prahlada. The legend says that Narasimha emerged from a rock pillar to kill the rakshasa. The moment is represented in a number of the  murti  in the various temples. Also, Garuda prayed for a vision of Narasimha in the form of Avatar, to fulfill his wish, and settled in nine forms across the hills in Ahobilam. It is considered as Navanarasimha kshetra. So, let's see how you can cover this  Navanarasimha kshetra in one day if you are traveling from Hyderabad. Day 0: By 17:30 leave from Hyderabad. You will reach Nandyal by 22:00. Today you can have a night stay at Nandyal. Day 1: Try to leave Nandyal by 5:00. You will reach Ahobilam by 6:00. To take accommodation in Ahobilam you have 3 options, 1. Ahobila Mutt 2. Guesthouse by TTD 3. Haritha resorts. I usually prefer Ahobila mutt because it has good rooms and you can have breakfast
