Lenyadri - Carrying devotees to Girijatmaj

Devotees, unable to climb up the 500-600 steep steps, have an option of going on a doli. The Doli carriers change every 100 steps, a sort of passing the baton kind of thing, across 4-5 sets of carriers ensure the pilgrim is delivered to & back after darshan

Hatta & Wild Wadi

The Rugged Mountains of Hatta and the Wild Wadi, which is a stream bang in the middle of these natural mountains which is one of the attractions around Dubai. Since we'd read so much about it, as a popular picnic spot, we did the 110kms drive across the Oman border, to visit these mountains. Not worth the drive really! The terrain is rough, completely devoid of any kind of vegetation and the drive quite steep & nauseous, at times.Right at the top, there's a dam constructed to avoid flash floods as well, though completely dry!
