The roads taken

I remember wanting to visit at least five places over the year 2008. Turns out I did much more than that. I almost did a tour each month and some of them were the best places I have been to. My personal favorite being the village tour. Traveling somehow has become almost an addictive habit with me this year. Every month or so, my itch to get out of the place and see the world out there just increases. Listed are all of my "getting outs" over the year.

• January - The Boat trip along river Godavari from Bhadrachalam
  
• February - Talakona Forests and the Horsely hills in South Andhra Pradesh
  
• March - Trip to Bangalore and the trek to Palad. This was an amazing trek that lasted 2 days when we walked over 30 kms in the jungles where Veerappan once roamed.
  
• April - NagarjunSagar. This was one of those boring trips done in the summer heats!
  
• June - Mumbai and Pune.
  
• July - The road trip to Kuntala and Pochera falls. Water soaked and wind hit all the way!
  
• August - The road trip to Araku and Vizag. Another one of those whimsical trips which involved visiting places with as few people as possible.
  
• December - Compensated for a drought of 4 months by going to 2 places in the same month. Made a tour of srilanka initially. Though only for a short period, it was fun! Then was the village tour to the end.

May the Vagabond prevail!
