Coorg & Mysore, Karnataka, India, Jan 2008 : Decided to visit the Club Mahindra Resorts property in Coorg (Kodagu)  http://www.clubmahindra.com/res_coorg_destination.asp 
So we flew to Bangalore (Bengaluru) [Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ] and drove to Mysore and Coorg. Coorg is known for its scenic beauty, lush green valleys, coffee plantations, teak wood forests & mountain ranges. Situated on the Western Ghats of Karnataka in South India, it was nice to beat the city heat and enjoy the lower temperatures. Along the way are many religious places of both Hindu and Buddhist faith. A good family getaway which can help relax your body and mind.

Just 7 kilometers from Madikeri town which is a few kilometers from the Club Mahindra property in Coorg is the Abbi (Abby) Falls. The narrow road to Abbi Falls is a combination of steep ups and downs, twists and turns, wriggling through the green and dense foliage of surrounding coffee plantations. Situated on private property, a narrow pathway leads you downward to where the waterfall can be seen. As various streams congregate in the mountains above, they swell with the monsoon rains and force their way down the mountain slope. Splashing hard against the huge boulders of rock, unmindful of the crevices and hollows, the water drops at enormous speed accompanied by gushing sounds. This white wall of water creates a misty cloud with its moisture-like spray and descends into a flowing stream to perhaps join with the River Cauvery somewhere in the vicinity.

Elephanta Caves, Mumbai, Feb 2008 : The Elephanta Caves are located just off Mumbai harbour in the Gharapuri Island. The name Elephanta Island was given by the Portuguese when they ruled over this area. In 1987, the caves were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hewn out of solid rock, the Elephanta Caves date back to 600 AD. The caves attract many visitors who take an hour long ferry boat ride to reach from Gateway of India. The cave complex is a collection of shrines, courtyards, inner cells, grand halls and porticos arranged in the splendid symmetry of Indian rock-cut architecture, and filled with exquisite stone sculptures of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. At the entrance to the caves is the famous Trimurti, the celebrated trinity of Elephanta : there's Lord Brahma the Creator, Lord Vishnu, the preserver and Lord Shiva the Destroyer Unfortunately, many of the sculptures inside have been damaged by iconoclastic Portuguese rulers who took potshots at Hindu Gods with their rifles. And yet somehow, nothing has disturbed the sublime beauty of this place for centuries. The rock-cut temple complex cover an area of 60,000 sq ft consisting of a main chamber, 2 lateral ones, courtyards and subsidiary shrines. The temple complex is said to be the abode of Shiva and its truly a magnificent site to see the beautiful reliefs, sculptures, and temple.

Also visited the Afghan Church. Work on the church of St. John the Evangelist was begun in 1847 by the British to commemorate the dead of the disastrous First Afghan War of 1838. It was consecrated in 1858 and work on the steeple was concluded in 1865. The church is located in Navy Nagar in the Colaba area of Mumbai (Bombay).
