Rock of ages

The train line from Prijepolje, in southern Serbia, to Podgorica, in Montenegro, is one of the most dramatic in Europe. You go through countless tunnels, skirting the precipice of one of the world's deepest canyons. The mountains here are indescribably rugged, barely cultivable and scarcely inhabited. Here and there in the midst of this gray wilderness of barren rock, you see a lonely hut surrounded by grassy plots cleared of stones for the grazing of sheep. But you see no people. The landscape is far too inhospitable.Gradually, the mountains give way, and the train descends along a green river to the fertile plain upon which sits Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. As soon as you disembark from the train, which is full of jolly young holiday-goers...

Chandipore Tour

The Chandipore beach is a one of the most picturesque yet least defiled (mercifully) beaches in India. Ironically, it being little known outside Orissa, is a blessing in disguise.The amazing thing about the beach here is its calm and placid nature. If at other places the sea is known to roar and lash at the coast, the waves at Chandipore gently kiss and caress the shore. If at other beaches, the visitor is subdued by the might of the sea, here the sea pampers her visitors.The beachThe beauty of the Chandipore beach is its receding waters.
