Tiracol Fort
For those going to have a great time in Goa, certain locations are missed as they are located a little far from Panaji. If you are coming to have a relaxing time in Goa, then make a plan to visit Arambol beach and then to Fort Tiracol.


How to reach
Fort Tiracol also knows as Fort Terekhol, is located at a distance of 14km from Arambol beach.You can reach to Arambol by taking a state bus from Panaji. And the fair is amazingly cheap, it is just Rs. 15. First you have to come to Mapusa which will take around 45 minutes and from there change another bus for Arambol. It will take around 45 minute to reach Arambol from Mapusa.


Take a scooter from Arambole or you can hire a private vehicle. But private vehicle are too costly. The scooter charges is minimal and it is just Rs. 300 per day. You have to pay for the petrol on your own.

 Location
Now start for the Tiracol Fort.The fort is located at the northern tip of the Tiracol River. You can take a ferry from Querim and it will take more than two hours.
The road from Arambole to Tiracol fort is beautiful as the road passes through a dense forest.
Sometimes you feel that you are heading for an unknown place. But don’t worry, keep going amidst the forest. After a drive of half an hour you will reach to your desired location.
History
Tiracol fort has now become a heritage hotel. It was constructed by a Raja of Sawantwadi in 17th century. It was later taken over by the Portuguese and a beautiful church was erected later. In 1961 the Fort was officially handed over to the Indian Government by the Portuguese.

The church is not opened for general public as it is opened for specific occasions.
Painted in light yellow and white Fort Tiracol looks really beautiful.

Food
The stay is costly but you will definitely enjoy the hospitality. If somebody is planning to spend a quality time with their beloved one , the price would not be disappointing. The restaurant outside the fort is really beautiful as it is an open restaurant. One can have food at the restaurant located on the roof as well.

You can come here for lunch and breakfast too. With soothing music, cool breezes from the Arabian sea and lush green environment you can enjoy the food, which I must say is really amazing.
Don’t forget to click picture with the memorial located outside near the old Banyan tree.
Tiracol Fort is a gem located at a serene location. Pack your bag for some quality time with your beloved.

I bet you would really enjoy the calmness of the place. And don’t forget to have Goan fish curry.

Phangrei Hill, Manipur

By Kishor
Phangrei Hill Hills and mountains have always attracted human being for the greatest endeavours and adventures. Located in the most beautiful district of Manipur in Ukhrul, Phangrei Hill offers the scenic beauty and adventure of its own. Top view of the Phangrei Hill Location This hill is located at a journey of almost one hour from the Ukhrul district. It requires utmost care when you are driving for the first time here as the hilly roads are very different from the plain areas. One has to come Ukhrul from Imphal, the capital of Manipur which is around 85kms from Imphal and takes around 4 hours by four wheeler. Small eatery near Phangrei Hill Stay I stayed at 24th North, a restaurant come kohotel in Ukhrul main town. The hotel offers quality good and that too at a reasonable rate.

चाँदनी ------------------------------------- भई तृप्त सावन के बूंदाकड़े पीकर खिलती हो चांदनी मधुरमय होकर!!              वर्षा-काल में यदि जल-प्रलय से कोई छति न होती तो इससे मनभावन और कोई ऋतु नही। वर्षा के कारण वाटिकाओं का हर्सोल्लासित हो हरित वस्त्र धारण कर चहक उठना भला किसे नही भाता। जेठ की झुलसती तपिश के बाद बारिश का आना किसी त्योहार से तनिक भी कम नही। और तिसपर वाटिकाओं, गृह-परिसरों और वनस्थलों में पुष्पों का खिलना। जैसे मेह के रस को पादपों द्वारा अपने अंग-प्रत्यंग में पपीहे की तरह रसपान करना। एक अनंत आनंद की अनुभूति।  वैसे तो वर्षा-काल में कुछेक पुष्प ही पुष्पित होते हैं। बसंत के स्वागत में पहले ही सारे पुष्प अपनी वार्षिक सौंदर्य-प्रदर्शन कर चुके होते हैं। जो जेठ की गर्मी को सहकर खिलते हैं वह ढीठ होते हैं। इन्ही पुष्पों में एक चिरपरिचित पुष्प है चाँदनी। श्वेत वर्ण का यह पुष्प वैसे तो पूरे साल ही अपनी मनोहर छटा बिखेरता है परंतु बारिश में यह और भी मादक और आकर्षक लगता है। महाकवि कालिदास ने मेघदूत में कई पुष्पों का वर्णन किया है जैसे क...
