  • Nature – Important Messages to Protect and Preserve

    When we hear the name Nature, most of the time it will be with the prefix ‘Mother Nature’. The mother who has no discrimination and always remains unbiased while providing the fundamental requirements of our life. Nature is The God who has No caste, creed, religion, place of worship, holy book… hence nature needs no introduction. It’s been our integral part from our birth and till we leave this earth. We all seek solace in the lap of Nature whenever we want and in our own unique way. Respect nature as much as you respect your own mother and teach everyone around you to do the same. That’s the greatest contribution you can make for the protection and preservation of ‘Nature’ around you.

    The reason we all love nature could be different but the purpose would be most of the time the same ‘Peace’. Everyone loves to live peacefully or spend quality time doing activities amidst the nature. Some of us would be sitting in a cubicle or at a business or in a government office for long hours and due to work commitments we find less time to visit nature and enjoy. We can just simply count of visit to nature, when was the last time we saw a sunrise or a bird building its nest or river making an enchanting music? These witnesses and encounters are like enlightening moments of our lives. We stay busy most of the time and make it an excuse to not witness all these beautiful things in our nature.

    2018 holiday resolutions;

    The New Year 2018 has arrived; it’s like a new book with 12 new months and 365 new days for all of us to introspect and write a nice story. Be a responsible traveler and create awareness about preserving the beauty of our nature. It’s in our hearts and minds to decide whether we leave a superb footprint for our future generation to urging to preserve nature than exploiting it. We should create more greenery and contribute to the cleanliness of our rivers, oceans and forests. It is the need of the hour to spread love for nature to everyone and all stake holders whoever breathes air and drinks water on earth. It’s each and every citizen’s primary responsibility to check and stop exploitation, destruction of nature even if it is not a tourist destination or your own property. Wherever you find people spoiling our nature, stop them, take that bold step, and educate the importance of respecting nature since it is giving a lot to us without expecting anything.

    If at all you want to give back something to nature then pledge from today for practicing these things which is so “Routine” and you would have ignored because of your ‘busy schedules’.

    1. Save water – Stop wasting water at kitchen, in your bathroom, in your office, at a mall or wherever not required.
    2. Save Electricity – Switch off lights, AC, fans, water heaters, mobile charging, TV… wherever you are not using them.
    3. Keep Nature Clean – Do not throw waste in the open, do not throw your burden on nature when you are traveling, do not leave the trash after you do that memorable picnic, camping, trekking, holiday, team outing… at a beautiful nature holiday destination that you visit.
    4. Do not waste food – To grow the food that we eat, nature takes a toll and farmers put a lot of effort and hard work. Respect the food you are served on a platter and you always be aware that you are a lucky person to enjoy that luxury.
    5. Educate your children to love nature – It should be a paramount home lesson that you inculcate in home lessons to your children. Train them to practice and also spread that learning among their friends and peers when they grow up.
    6. Say NO to unnecessary extravaganza weddings and parties – You can see how we waste food and abuse nature by wasting water and other resources careless about our future generations in the name of ‘celebrations’.
    7. Be a good friend to nature – If you do not have time or patience to help nature it’s absolutely fine. But do not become its enemy by abusing and destroying it in the name of ‘Having Fun’, ‘Jolly Trip’, ‘Adventure Camping’, ‘Team Outing’…

    Malnadu tourism stake holders contributions;

    We are also aware that there are a lot of responsible and nature loving travelers and tourists, citizens in our societies who have done tremendous efforts in keeping the areas clean and beautiful. We congratulate all of them heartily for setting such examples wherever they are visiting. We take this opportunity to thank one and all including Karnataka Tourism Ministry, Hotels, Homestays, Resorts, NGOs, Schools, Colleges, Individuals striving to make Malnad Greener and Cleaner.

  • Travelling experience from a photographer’s perspective – Escape to Nature

    Photography and travel are like expeditions hand in hand. Whenever I plan my trip for photography the majority of planning is in the stay, food, transfers and flights booking section. In short my personal travel agent Travel Chords with its portals does all the homework and give me peace of mind during the entire trip. There a lot of beautiful spots in Karnataka for a photographer who would love to engage in a mind blowing photography holiday.

    My recent trip to malnad is a memorable gift given to me by my travel partner Travel Malnad a sister concern of Travel Chords Holidays. We were a group of 5 photography enthusiasts who planned this together and well executed by our travel experts. Our motif was clear, a nice location with a decent accommodation where we can spend 4 to 5 nights stay and give job to the shutters maximum. I liked the concepts put forth by Travel Malnad who are not just booking my stay or transfers but in detailed itinerary planner for a successful photoshoot trip.

    Since we were in a group the choices and preferences for food to beverages were different and the hosts obliged for all the demands since we were travelling through Travel Malnad Brand. I was little skeptical in the beginning to choose remote locations considering the safety and security. The homestay given to us by Travel Malnad was extremely homely and secured and it was almost like that we have stayed at one of our own relative’s place.

    The journey started from Bangalore on a Thursday and we were all geared up for this fantastic photography sessions. We were accompanied by Mr Richard one of the expert photographer from Australia. We were excited, energetic and looking for a new opportunity other than what we do in our routine work at Bangalore. The whole idea of “Escape to Nature” by Travel Malnad itself was running our minds continuously and all photo albums are named after this punch line. I was on the top with my adrenaline gush making me feel younger for adventure and older enough to appreciate the beauty of nature.

    We reached the malnad homestay by noon time and welcomed with a nice fruit drink and continued with a sumptuous spread of buffet lunch. We had a nice lunch and all were feeling extremely pampered and took a nice power nap in the afternoon. Since we were there for next 4 days our instructor organized the time meticulously.

    The sky was clear, the land was green everywhere, roads were good and we were driving amidst the Malnad region in Karnataka which is the paradise on earth for nature lovers. It was spring season and a new life, new beginning for all of us. We had taken a break from our routine and mechanical work life and hit roads exploring the glory of nature. Why we chose Malnad as our destination? This was our much debated and discussed topic before the start of our travel.

    We will be honest with you. Our team is one of the senior most software engineers’ team in a leading MNC in Bangalore. Our work schedule demands us to be on our toes all the time clearing project leads and executing projects internally in the organization. The team was overwhelmed with the work pressure and wanted a break to unwind ourselves. Thus came the idea of doing a trip any of the top destinations in Karnataka.

    We did a lot of research on this topic and everyone had different perspective about holidaying. Some were keen on a beach holiday place and some voted for coffee estate and some were neutral and ready to blend in for any holiday plan. Thus we concluded the Malnad as our destination of travel with places recommended by travelmalnad.com team. The expert team at TravelMalnad helped us a lot by providing us meticulous details of travel planning to even taking routes while in Malnad.

  • Escape to the Nature and rejuvenate yourself

    I was desperate to escape the cacophony of the city life. Then came the idea to explore the malnad region in Karnataka. Why wait? I started driving down from Chennai and reached Bangalore and started heading towards the malnad region in Karnataka. The rich greenery, magnificent landscapes made me feel elevated and freshened me up from the hectic work schedules and stress. I thank Travel Malnad team for systematically organizing my holiday in Malnad.

    The homestays in Karnataka are a unique option for travelers coming from any part of India. These homestays offer comfortable and hygienic stay and tasty cuisines for the travelers. I reached Thirthahalli, a city located on a river bank and stayed in a Resort that offered boating, trekking and indoor sports facility at reasonable tariff. After exploring two days in Thirthahalli I started towards Chikmagalur where I could do my favorite hobby, fishing.

    Travel Malnad team helped me booking some of the coolest homestays in Karnataka and made my holiday really memorable. My family loved the hospitality that we experienced at the homestays and thanked me for planning such a unique holiday. After Chikmagalur we traveled to Coorg and stayed in a cottage in the backwaters and headed back to Bangalore. All these days of travel one thing we never missed is natural landscapes on both the sides of roads that we traveled throughout Malnad.
