I just made a review of the whole plan and it all looks very very rosy!<\/p>\n<p>I am kicking of the December season with a trek in the wilderness &#8211; Brahmagiri peaks in Coorg(Kodagu). I shall be taking a short break when I come back and then head to Wayanad in Kerala for a birding trip. From then it is to <a href=\"http:\/\/travelblog.paintedstork.com\/2005\/08\/drive-in-rains-jog-falls-karwar-kali.html\">Karwar <\/a> and may be Goa for a few days. I will have a few unplanned days when I come back from Karwar, but am toying with an idea to head to Andamans in that time. Andaman is a place I have always wanted to visit but the idea of having to take permits etc is always discouraging. <\/p>\n<p>The next year, I am headed north to kiss the Himalayan winter snow. I shall be off <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paintedstork.com\/photography\/albums\/auli\/index.html\">skiing in Auli<\/a> for a week, then return to the plains and spend a week in the blissful surroundings of Rishikesh. My next rendezvous shall be Corbett, where I hope to spend another week. From then on it will be the plains of the Ganges &#8211; Banaras for a few days. Before I make my trip home, I shall visit the Taj Mahal at Agra, the symbol that India has been for rest of the world.<\/p>\n<p>I am sure I will need some well deserved rest by then. There are a few unplanned days once I return. March is probably going to get much more exciting. I shall head towards the splendid North East &#8211; Arunachal Pradesh where I will be working on wilderness surveys for a week, and then hang out on my own in the state. If all goes well, I might even visit the famed Kaziranga and Manas National Park in Assam, but that is not completely in the radar now.<\/p>\n<p>I have kept most of my April free and unplanned yet, but I just received an offer from a friend to go diving sometime in April. I am sure that would be a good idea. April is as far that I can road scotfree, and the days beyond are going to be spent less exotic!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am trying to use the next few months efficiently and have made plans in plenty.
