Places I want to visit in 2008.

So......I am in the middle of reading a blog post by rashmi bansal.
http://youthcurry.blogspot.com/2008/01/resolve-and-it-will-happen.html

Reading that post, suddenly I got an enthu list places i want to visit or things i want to do. The main idea in posting is
1) To list things at one place what all I want to do and therefore plan better.

2) To show friends and hopefully get them to come with me.

So here goes my list.

--- Kabini: I want to do coracling, rafting (if it is there and in general enjoy the quietness+greenery of the place. Target times: Jan/Feb/Monsoons/post monsoons. Time required: 1 weekend.

I visited kabini on Jan26th!!!! Not a great time to go.....Shud go back here during monsoons!

--Kerala: I want to take my OWN boat/raft and go into the backwaters of kerala (Alleppey?) I am really fond of someone else driving the boat and all I have to do is sit idle and stare at the water. Target time: Any time of the year. Time Required: 1 weekend or 3 days.

--Hampi: Heck this has been pending since ages. Target time: Any time other than summer. Time required: One day

--Srisailam: Its in Andhra Pradesh. Guess this has to wait till monsoons. Time Required: Two days.

--Bike trip to Goa/Pune: I know. Its crazy. But then, its a childhood dream. So I want to do it atleast once. Time Required : 3-4 days. Biking will be one way. Other way, bike can be shipped by train. Target Time: Before march or after september.

--Rafting in Rishikesh: I dont think south india has great rafting places. Hence I want to go to north india. Target time: Summer. Time Required: 1 Week(?). Should be clubbed with something else.

--Coastal Andhra pradesh: Believe me, East godavari district in Andhra Pradesh is like kerala....full of coconut groves. I want to do a car ride in this area. Of course, i want to do a (country )boat ride on godavari. Target time: Any time of the area. It can be clubbed with one of the festivals. Time Required: 2 days.

--Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra. I hope to do a trek there. I also want to see the the golden coloured grass on mumbai-nasik road. Target time: Dunno.
