Are you planning for Goa trip this year? Then Cola beach is one of the best location to chill and relax. Lets see here stay in beautiful wooden cottages and amazing kayaking experience.
Cola Beach - Kayaking | Blue Lagoon - Wooden Cottage | Marathi Vlog 01
This is the First episode of Goa Series 2021. So in this episode I have shown you our stay in Blue Lagoon Resort & our beautiful wooden cottage at Cola Beach. Also, my first time experience of Kayaking.
Cola Beach
Cola Beach (also known as Khola Beach) offers fine golden sand beaches dotted with large volcanic boulders and a backdrop of tall forested hills. The beach itself offers a relaxed atmosphere and is generally swimmable. We were met with a few waves but found them small enough to still swim and have fun in like little children! Please do note that the depth of the beach can suddenly change. There were a few times where I walked forwards and stumble about a foot in. You may also come across a few rocks and there are boulders which you should stay away from to avoid a wave crashing you into them.
Kayaking
Along Cola beach, you either hang out at or walk past the Cola Beach resort which sits at the edge of the beach, and walk to the unique point where a special river pours out into Cola Beach. This point is called the Blue Lagoon / Emerald Lagoon although it’s the end of the freshwater stream that meets Cola Beach. I imagine it’s called an emerald lagoon because of its clear green colors and its calm swimmable waters. The river/”lagoon” is enclosed by tall palm trees and lush verdant borders along its canal. Together, this makes Cola Beach a true highlight experience in Goa.
KAYAKING Charges
30 Minutes : Rs. 200/- for 02 persons
15 Minutes : Rs. 100/- for 02 persons
Wooden Cottages
We were actually first attracted to this region of Cola Beach because of a new set of cabins that had just opened up “retreat-style”. The stay in itself was part of the vacation and charm within nature. So consider spending at least a night in one of the nearby accommodations close to the beach so that you can enjoy a full day here without having to drive out of the Cola Beach area at night. While there aren’t that many places in Cola Beach to stay in, here are the most reputable and beautiful places, including the one we stayed at.
BLUE LAGOON RESORT
Charges : Per night Rs. 3500/-

River rafting in Kasol is something that you absolutely cannot miss while on a trip. It is a mixture of getting close to nature and feeling adrenaline rushing through your body.
Kasol River Rafting
Rafting in Kasol is a must try adventurous activity and a seren experience. Feeling the adrenaline rush while paddling through the gurgling water and splashes of piercing cold water is an amazing experience
The rafting stretch is surrounded by gorgeous landscapes, lush green valleys, and a calm blue sky. There are two main rafting stretches that Kasol offers you, one of which is 8 kilometers long and the other one is nearly 10 kilometers long.
The best time for white water rafting is during the winter season, because of the fall in the water level of the river. The Parvati River, which originates from the ManTalai Glacier, is a very popular location for White Water rafting. The experience of enjoying the rush of water amidst the calm hills and valleys is totally unique. The river has a very deep gradient and has a lot of water.
Manikaran is located in the Parvati Valley on river Parvati, northeast of Bhuntar in the Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh. Located 5 km away from Kasol, this lovely village offers a maze of small streets, lined with wooden houses and colorful facades.
Manikaran Gurudwara
Manikaran is located in the Parvati Valley on river Parvati, northeast of Bhuntar in the Kullu District of Himachal Pradesh. It is at an altitude of 1760 m and is located 4 km ahead of Kasol and about 45 km from Kullu and about 35 km from Bhunter. This small town attracts tourists visiting Manali and Kullu to its hot springs and pilgrim centers. An experimental geothermal energy plant has also been set up here.
The aforementioned hot spring is claimed by residents of the village (with some pride) to have curative powers and is so hot that rice can be cooked in it! Also in town are shrines dedicated to Krishna, Rama and Vishnu.
Manikaran Sahib is a vital pilgrimage spot for both Hindus and Sikhs. This place has significance in some of the earliest Hindu scriptures that highlight how Manu, the first human on earth, created life and saved this place from a flood. Several mythological tales around the region also document Hindu deities like Shiva, Parvati, and Vishnu.
If you are in Manikaran, you must spend some time learning about the origin and history of the Manikaran Sahib Gurudwara. Different tales narrated in Sikh scriptures recount plenty about the place’s history. While here, you can witness those stories come to life right in front of your eyes.
Kasol is a hamlet in the district Kullu of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It is situated in Parvati Valley, on the banks of the Parvati River, on the way between Bhuntar and Manikaran.
KASOL
Kasol is a quaint little village in Himachal situated along the banks of the river Parvati. Commonly known as the 'Amsterdam of India', Kasol is a tourist attraction that is rapidly gaining fame as a popular hub for trekkers, backpackers, and nature lovers. Kasol is situated 23 kms from Bhuntar and next to the religious town of Manikaran and is one of the best places in the country just to sit back and chill in the panorama of snow-clad mountains, pine trees and gurgling river.
PARVATI RIVER
The soothing Parvati River flows through the Parvati Valley in Himachal Pradesh and is an indispensable part of this gorgeous region. The thundering river originates from the Man Talai Glacier, flowing north through Parvati Valley and eventually flowing into the Beas River near Kulu. Though not really a place to visit, Parvati River is definitely a top attraction in Kasol. The sight of the frothy river meandering through the imposing snow-dusted mountains renders an unexplainable peace to the soul. Since the flow is too dangerous to allow any adventure activities, you can simply sit on the rocks by the Parvati River and be mesmerized by the rumbling sounds, leaving behind the din of daily, if not for ever, at least for some time.
Wagah, an army outpost on Indo-Pak border – between Amritsar and Lahore, is an elaborate complex of buildings, roads and barriers on both sides. If you are in Amritsar then you must have to attain this flags ceremony.
Wagah-Attari Border Ceremony :
The lowering of the flags ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border is a daily military practice that the security forces of India (Border Security Force, BSF) and Pakistan (Pakistan Rangers) have jointly followed since 1959. The drill is characterized by elaborate and rapid dance like maneuvers and raising legs as high as possible, which have been described as "colorful". It is alternatively a symbol of the two countries’ rivalry, as well as brotherhood and cooperation between the two nations.
This ceremony takes place every evening immediately before sunset at the Wagah-Attari border, which as part of the Grand Trunk Road was the only road link between these two countries before the opening of the Aman Setu in Kashmir in 1999. The ceremony starts with a blustering parade by the soldiers from both sides, and ends up in the perfectly coordinated lowering of the two nations' flags. It is called the Beating Retreat border ceremony on the international level.

If you are looking for most peaceful place on earth, then here is your answer. Amritsar is world-famous for the beautiful and highly revered Golden Temple or Sri Harmandir Sahib, which is one of the most prominent spiritual sites in India.
AMRITSAR- GOLDEN TEMPLE
In February 2020, i had visited few cities of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. The Whole trip was truly magical and full of amazing experience. Here I am presenting Golden Temple Vlog from the City of Amritsar.
AMRITSAR
Amritsar is the largest and most important city in Punjab and is a major commercial, cultural, and transportation center. It is also the center of Sikhism and the site of the Sikhs' principal place of worship—the Harmandir Sahib, or Golden Temple.
A bustling city with an indomitable spirit, Amritsar holds one of the holiest of Sikh ethos at its heart - the Golden Temple. Covered in 400 kg of gold and surrounded by a serene sarovar (pond), one is immediately swamped by the humbling sight of the glistening structure, which is also home to one of the biggest community kitchens (langar) in the country that serves about 20,000 people a day.
Though visitors often make a beeline for the temple, the old-world charm of the city slowly sneaks up on them, making them fall in love with a city that buzzes with spirited and lively nuances. Be it the bullet-ridden walls of Jallianwala Bagh or the energetically charged scene of the Wagah Border, one has to step into the city to feel the passion of thousands of people who laid down their lives for the country. The many Indo-British style buildings that dot the city's landscape stand as a testimony to its rich history and significant contribution to the Indian freedom movement.
GOLDEN TEMPLE
One of Amritsar's greatest attractions and its spiritual hub is the Sri Harmandir Sahib, commonly known as the Golden Temple. This is the holiest temple in the Sikh faith.
Guru Ramdas Sahib, the 4th of 10 Sikh gurus, constructed the temple and its pool in the 1500s as a place of worship for all.
The temple has been renovated many times, adding features such as the marble inlays along the floor. Maharaja Ranjit Singh, founder of the Sikh Empire of India (1799-1849) had the temple's upper floors covered in 750 kilos of pure gold.
Golden Temple at Night
The faithful travel to the golden center of the purifying, and Sikhs can bathe in it from the outer platform. Notice temple workers along the walkways using buckets to haul water to the worshippers.
Devotees bathe in the Golden Temple's holy pool. All visitors must remain barefoot, and everyone passes through a separate foot-washing pool before entry.
Temple workers distribute water from the pool surrounding the temple. The water is considered holy, and visitors take home bottles for purification and health.
The founding gurus of Sikhism in the 15th and 16th centuries declared that women were equal to men in the eyes of God. Here, Sikhs make chapatis, a flatbread, for the temple's visitors.
All visitors, wealthy or poor, are welcome to a free meal at the temple kitchen. Visitors sit together on the floor as equals. Every Sikh gurdwara has a free kitchen, and Harmandir Sahib is one of the largest, serving 100,000 a day. Gurudwaras serve vegetarian food to accommodate any dietary restrictions.
Harmandir Sahib is part of a larger temple complex. Another major building is the white-marble Akal Takht, the major center for administration, politics, and justice for Sikhs today.
