Tree House Entrance

A tree house is normally 100-150 feet high. This picture shows the entrance to one such. Walking down this path leads one to a manually operated lift that can be levitated in the air using a pulley mechanism.

Forest Resort

5 rooms deep inside the jungle with all basic facilities, but no electricity. Generators helped a few hours in the dark, but it was lanterns beyond that. Was fun staying in the wild!

Monkey Kingdom

On top of a small hill in Gingee were a few monkeys. We thought they never meant any harm and got ourselves something to eat. That's when we realized we had infiltrated the Monkey Kingom. We were approached by the creatures from all sides and ransacked of all our food.

Ruins - 1

At the usual deserted Beach X. It was on a mid summer afternoon, surprisingly cloudy. We had a few people around, which was disappointing. The climate though compensated it. I took a stroll around the houses, I was used to this place by now.

Ruins - 2

Beach X was deserted. I parted from the gang and took a stroll through the ruins.

KRP Dam, Krishnagiri

This is the not so famous KRP Dam in Krishnagiri. But ever since I visited that place and came back and made this HDR, my friends have been asking about it. It is however a nice place to relax and spend a few hours undisturbed by too much human infestation.

Gingee Fort - The tower

My brother had come from Pune. We took the car and drove from the city without much of a plan. Not far away from Chennai is a historical place called Gingee which is famous for forts. The tower seen in the picture is right at the entrance of the big fort.

The corridor in one of the buildings of the Gingee fort. They had small cells on the left side of the corridor. I'm not very sure if they were prisons, but the cells appeared to be very small.

Lost world

On the Golden Quadrilateral, somewhere in Karnataka, I stopped by to check up on the other riders. It was dark, nothing around, just when I realized there was a gas station opposite to where I stood. They were just switching on the lights and it was beauty to look at it start glowing by the second.
