Take a short break while traveling from one beach to another, to experience the beauty of Goan villages. We stopped our car just before this bridge, and spent some half an hour at the sidewalk here!

Fireworks at sunset at Palolem beach.

After the acquarium, take a chariot ride around the place

Views are never clear though, may be because of smog.

Can you see the shoes – this guy was stuck at the hole for 10 minutes! At this point, you just have to take the leap of faith and let go!

Just entering the cave

Mayank trying to enter the cave! He was pretty comfortable in navigating through the cave.

The entrance to the cave. I wish I could have shown you how small the entrance actually is.

This is how the cave entrance looks like.

Hop on any rock that you find. We took a small diversion and ended up here to enjoy the beauty of Kolar at the foot of these rocks.

My precious!!

The route is pretty clear – but be wary of the thorny bushes

Steps carved on the rocks

The second water cave.

Too brave! There are quite a few points while trekking uphill where your shoes give you the much required grip. I have no clue how she would have managed in her flip flops!

@the broomstore

I, my friends, am a “broomstick traveler”. Coined by me, the term is used for people who do no identify themselves with any specific kind of tourism – luxury, solo, budget, long term, short term…! And I found this brooms shop in Granville and could not resist getting photographed

Come paint with us! This is a painting gear shop

This is actually a factory of some kind, but even a factory looks pretty in Granville! the “bois” are just too cute.

Inside a house – notice the fire pit, the guinea pic breeding enclosure and a raised platform (most likely for cooking)

Played a guest again – this time a bigger house!

I visited someone’s house

A reclaimed structure, showing a circular house with conical roof.

One of the houses in the process of reclamation

One my way to Chachapoyas

The city is constructed in 2 levels: the upper level belonging to the bureaucrats and priests and the lower one for the general public

Beautiful designs on Chachapoyan house walls. These designs are unique to Chachapoyas and are not found in any other Peruvian culture
