Travel Stories- by Shweta

A wonderful and Divine festival that I have ever experienced 🙏 So, how it all started 😁 here is a story.... I was researching places to visit during the Dasara holidays, and then I read about Kulasai Dasara somewhere. The visuals and details were so impressive to me that I instantly decided I had to attend it. Since Dasara (Dussehra ) was just 40 days away, I quickly started planning for it. But then I started facing so many difficulties 😵‍💫 in planning and in establishing contact with local people just to get the details when and where to exactly reach, whom to contact, where to stay, as it is small village, rarely any option for staying there, and mostly people speak Tamil only and I had no contact of any local person in that village and also I contacted some of my contacts who are in Tamilnadu, just to enquire about this festival but they also had no idea about it. but I had a very strong feel of experiencing this celebration anyhow.

Experiences like these expose the true character of a place, making every journey and destin
