Trivandrum Sight Seeing - Shri Chitra Art Gallery, Napier Museum and Veli Tourist Village
Our main interest in visiting Trivandrum was to see Raja Ravi Varma's famed paintings in the Chitra Art Gallery. Must say - he was an excellent artist. Some of the paintings looked so real - unbelievable. Photography is restricted inside the gallery - so you will have to visit Trivandrum to have a look at the art.
But here is a picture of the Art Gallery from outside.
We also visited Napier Musuem in Trivandrum. The architectural masterpiece was designed by Robert Chisholm, the consulting Architect of the Madras Government. The museum houses a rare collection of archaeological and historic artifacts, bronze idols, ancient ornaments, a temple chariot and ivory carvings.
The museums are open from Tuesdays to Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4.45 p.m. On Wednesdays, the museum opens only at 1 p.m.
Also made a visit to the Zoo in Trivandrum.
All these three places are located within the same premises - the Museum Grounds.
We also visited Veli Tourist Village. The village has been built at the point where the Veli lagoon meets the Arabian sea. It is replete with fish ponds, wading pools and landscaped gardens, along with facilities for boating and water sports and a park around the floating bridge that connects the village to the beach.
The beach was deserted except for a few stray dogs that kept us company.
The tourist village is open from : 8:00am to 6:00pm.
For more information contact : 91- 471- 2500785
Boating facilities are available at the village
Safari boat: Rs. 15 per head
Speedboat: Rs. 150
Pedalboat: 4 seater - Rs. 50 for half an hour;
2 seater - Rs. 40 for half an hour.

Photos of Medak Church, Medak Fort and the Pocharam Reservoir
The Medak Cathedral built in 1914 in Gothic style is considered to be the largest in Asia. The main tower of the church is 175 ft high and the cathedral can accomodate 5000 people at a time. There are 3 maginificient stained glass windows depicting the life of Jesus Christ.
Medak fort - Not much is left of the fort to see, but as it is on a hillock it offers a good view of the city. Do not forget to carry food and water as you climb the fort because nothing is available on the hilltop.
Pocharam which is 20 odd kms away from Medak can also be clubbed into the day trip. Pocharam boasts of a small animal sanctuary and a reservoir. The reservoir is built on the Aler river and is favourite picnic spot. Fishing is a favourite activity at this reservoir.

Gir is undoubtedly the jewel of Saurashtra the dry and drought-prone region of Gujarat, Spread over 1412 Sq. Kms. of rolling land with dry deciduous forest, Gir is best known as the last wild abode of the Asiatic lion.
The Gir National Park and Sanctuary are an out-and-out heaven of biological variety. Apart from the 300 odd lions, Gir is also home to around 250 leopards, and a number of other small carnivores like the wild cat, jackal and the striped hyena.
There are also many Nilgai, Sambar, Chowsinga, Chinkara and Chital with the Chital population in the 50,000 range. Amazing isn’t it? Gir is also supposed to be home to some rare animals like the Pangolin and the Rattle python.
There are around 300 species of birds and a phenomenal 2000 + species of insects flitting about the dry scrub jungle. Some of the birds found here are - Flycatchers, Warblers, Parakeets, Kingfishers, Woodpeckers, Crested serpent eagle, Paradise flycatcher, Blossom Headed parakeet, Small blue kingfisher, Golden backed woodpecker and the Indian pitta.

Guides and vehicles are available on hire at the Reception Center on first come first served basis. The permits are issued at around 6:30 am and people and agents begin queuing up as early as 5:00am. We reached the Reception Center at 8:00am though :)
Entry Fee to Gir Sanctuary
I felt that there was no order at the Reception Centre what with people jostling about, pushing each other. There were no proper instructions put up as to the procedure of obtaining permits and the timings. People staying at Sinh Sadan, the Forest Department Guest House, which is in the same premises as the Reception Centre were up early and formed a queue to obtain the Permits. The agents and other travelers who were staying elsewhere had formed a queue outside the closed gate of the Sinh Sadan. This gate was opened only at 5:30am and people rushed in like mad.
We learnt that are a fixed number or Vehicular permits allowed in a day and half of these could be booked in advance. Out of the remaining, few are reserved for the DFO’s.
The rest are available for current booking – The number of people in the queue outnumbered the number of permits available. It was jostle, push, and fights. We stayed put in a corner just watching all this unfold.
Each vehicle can seat a minimum of six people. Luckily, we found a family of four and clubbed with them to book a Vehicle.
A guide is must on all the vehicles that go into the sanctuary. Guide fees have to be paid directly to the guides.
