Destination 1~Eiffel Tower (Paris)

Everyone loves Paris, as much for its shady boulevards, cafe life and general romantic atmosphere as for the more famous sights such as the Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame Cathedral...
Here we are at Paris...


Eiffel Tower..

The Eiffel Tower (Tour Eiffel) in Paris, France is one of the most recognizable structures in the world, and one of the symbolic structures of France. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris, standing at 1,063 feet (325 meters), and is also one of the city’s most visited landmarks. It was originally built as a temporary structure that was to be torn down after 20 years, but survived criticism and demolition to become the icon it is today.
Inaugurated March 31, 1889, the Eiffel Tower would be the tallest structure in the world until the completion of the Chrysler Building in 1930.

As a tourist spot, the tower draws an average of 10,000 visitors a day, who have access to the first three floors, getting them as high as 902 feet (275 meters). Two restaurants reside in the tower, one of them run by renown chef Alain Ducasse. The Tower welcomed its 200,000,000th visitor in 2002.
So,,welcome to romance city..

Destination 2~Miyajima Island Hiroshima(Japan)

Lets travel to  Miyajima Island Hiroshima at Japan.. 
Japan.....


Miyajima in the Saeki District of Hiroshima is a beautiful island adorned with a number of fascinating locales. Originally named Itsukushima, the island is popularly called Miyajima, or the Shrine Island. The town has been honored as a sacred destination as Kobo Daishi, a monk, chose the island as a seat of Buddhist Shingon Sect. The island has since then been preserving its sanctity, and stands today as a popular destination for tourists and pilgrims across the globe. Miyajima today is a fascinating locale with its coastline, and the quaint look that the city still wears.

Torii gate..


The present incarnation of the Itsukushima-jinja shrine is one of the island's greatest attractions, and the "floating" red torii gate that stands in the shallow waters of the bay when the tide is in remains one of the most photographed views in Japan.


Senjikaku or the '1000 Mat Pavilion' is a 15th century construction having a huge wooden hall. A towering 5 storey pagoda lines by a host of cherry trees is another perk with the pavilion.Daisho-in is a quiet Buddhist temple fringed by hills. With its golden prayer wheels and its Henjokutsu Cave, the desolate temple evokes a different sensation altogether..

Have fun!!

~ Destination 4~Krabi(Thailand)

This time,we will explore about Krabi at Thailand..
Krabi is located in a very beautiful part of Thailand. With karsts hills and mangrove forest, there are many cave and nature trails for adventurers.

Krabi map...
The most alluring part of Krabi provinces are the secluded beaches and the off shore islands.
This unique sand bank is one of the 2 strips that joins two islands during the low tides.
Holiday makers enjoy the sun bathing in the open seas, surrounded by - only tiny islands.


Defination of an "island' varies tremendously. More important is the type of activities the this single piece of outcrop that juts out from the sea, can support.
While the depth beside this island also encourage diving activities. The odd shaped left over from weathering promotes tourism. Visitors are taken a tour of the surrounding island with the landmark as a stopping point.

The whole province of Krabi has uncounted number of places for holidays and vacations....

~ Destination 5-Angkor Wat

There are few places anywhere on earth to match the splendor of Angkor Wat. The temple is one of the largest monuments to religion ever built and is truly one the wonders of the world. Believed to have been constructed as a temple and mausoleum for King Suryavarman II at the peak of the Khmer empire in the first half of the 12th century, Angkor Wat is probably the best-preserved of the Angkorean temples.
 
Angkor Map...

Angkor Wat view..

The five towers symbolise Mount Meru's five peaks. It is difficult to express in words the enormous scale of Angkor Wat, but it can be explained in part by a look at the dimensions of the complex. The temple is surrounded by a moat which makes the one around the Tower of London, built at roughly the same time, look like nothing more than a garden trench.tourist can see the unique and the history of Angkor Wat..
At 190 meters wide and forming a rectangle measuring 1.5 km by 1.3 km, it is hard to imagine any attacking force overwhelming the defenses. But the moat was more than just a defensive bulwark, in line with the temple's Hindu origins it represented the oceans of the world. A rectangular wall measuring 1025 metres by 800 metres borders the inner edge of the moat. There is a gate in each side of the wall, but unusually for the mainly Hindu-influenced Angkorian temples, the main entrance faces west. This entrance is a richly decorated portico, 235 m wide with three gates. However, the temple's greatest sculptural treasure is its 2 km-long bas-reliefs around the walls of the outer gallery and the hundred figures of devatas and apsaras.
~come and see the unique of this temple..

Destination' 7~Batu Maloi Cave(Negeri Sembilan)


Batu Maloi Cave is unique adventure caving.......
This challenging arena is just waiting to be discovered by adventure
seekers, it’s 2hr drive from Kuala Lumpur or thirty-five minutes
from Tampin. 
Here we are..Batu Maloi Cave..
This cave, formed beneath the masses of large rocks is one kilometre in length. A clear shallow stream lazily makes its way around the stones and boulders that make up the cave floor. The challenge of exploring this amazing granite cave, will surely charm and enrich your experiences. The narrow and winding passage into the cave can prove to be quite perilious, especially in the dark.
One kilometer in length, the cave system has a stream that snakes across the stones and boulders of the floor while the chamber itself is fascinating to explore
Explorers are advised not to go in without a guide especially because water levels in the cave have been 
known to rise extremely fast after heavy downpours, leading to unwitting explorers being trapped inside.

It's a very interesting Granite Cave formation; the river is actually making this formation happen from millions of years of water flow. It's not any kind linked to limestone cave formations!! Big rocks block each other along the “trails” with dim sunlight breaking through in some places, forming a “ray of light” to pierce the darkness.
Risks aside, the 2-4 hours Batu Maloi Cave exploration trip offers a challenging and memorable experience for those who  dare to enter.

the entrance..
 Gunung Gading National Park has a very special star attraction - the Rafflesia, the world’s largest flower - and the park is one of the best places in Asia to view the Rafflesia’s spectacular blooms. Gunung Gading sprawls across four jungle-clad mountain peaks, and its dense primary rainforest is criss-crossed by crystal clear streams and waterfalls.
world largest flower..Rafflesia..



The Rafflesia, the world’s largest flower, is a parasitic plant found only in Southeast Asia, and then only in sub-montane hilly forests at elevations between 400-1,300 metres. Sir Stamford Raffles and Dr Joseph Arnold were the first Europeans to discover the Rafflesia. In 1818, whilst on a field trip near the town of Bencoolen (Bengkulu) in Sumatra, they came across a huge specimen that measured 97 cm in diameter. This species was later named the Rafflesia Arnoldi. When news of the discovery reached the botanical community in 1820 it caused quite a sensation with murmurings of disbelief.



the waterfall at Gunung GadingNational Park..

The easiest and shortest trek involves following the river uphill, passing seven waterfalls. Not all the waterfalls are accessible for swimming however. Waterfalls 1, 3 and 7 are marked on the trail map,swimming is possible only at waterfalls number 1 and 7. The water is cold as hell but really refreshing after a sweat hike. The trek up to the last waterfall takes about an hour.
