It is four years since India Travel Blog has been online. It started with a passion to travel, and a wish to keep memories jotted somewhere. It has now gone through more than 500 posts and more than a million page loads in the last four years. It even led me into a career switch, helping me move from a deskjob to something that let me use my time as I wished. It has been four good years of travel blogging. Thanks for being here, and for coming back again and again. Thank you.

A fellow travel blogger(http://backpakker.blogspot.com/) and I have launched a guided tour program which takes travellers to heartland of the 1000 year old Hoysala Kingdom. The tour involves telling lot of stories and sessions on the interesting history of Hoysala Kingdom. We will visit some fascinating temples that are off the tourist map, visited by very few people. Besides the heritage, we are staying amidst nature in a quiet place in a coffee estate. If time and weather permits, we may even attempt a walk in a coffee estate.. A batch is leaving on coming weekend - July 4th. To register and to know more, see here.
Happy Travels!

Hoysala trail…
June 26, 2009
Aarti, who had come with us for the earlier visit on the ‘Tour of Less Known Hoysala Temples’ writes her experiences from the trip.
Drove straight to Doddagaddavalli, where we spent close to an hour.. A temple that marks the reign of Hoysala Dynasty, each pillar telling a tale… After a tour of the place, we all assembled in the hall near the entrance where Lakshmi and Arun gave us a peek into the history, and some insights into the rulers and the Dynasty..
Read the full story on Aarti’s blog.
