  1. Cheapest Airfare from Bangalore to Hong Kong

    December 24, 2011 by Vallabh Rao

    I am flying to Hong Kong on the 29th and I did some research on the airfare between Bangalore and Hong Kong. When I booked my flight the cheapest direct connection was Dragon Air which is part of Cathay Pacific. This is a direct flight with no stopovers. There was also the option was taking Kingfisher to Mumbai and then fly to Hong Kong which was cheaper than the direct Dragon Air flight but given the uncertainty about Kingfisher schedules now and the long  stopover resulting in a longer journey time made me go with Dragon Air. There is also an offer for people who fly with Dragon Air to avail discounts at various Hong Kong sightseeing and commercial establishments through a promotional offer.

    Some photos of YourStory team retreat at Mangomist Resort, near Bannerghatta National Park, Bangalore. The place was nice – a nice pool , sports equipment but some parts were tacky and the food was definitely a disappointment.

  3. BR Hills, Mysore

    December 20, 2011 by Vallabh Rao

    BR Hills or Biligiriranga Hills is about an hour’s drive from Mysore city and about 4 hours drive from Bangalore. Although located in Chamarajanagar district its proximity to Mysore makes it one of the many spots to see when in Mysore. The drive to the hilltop temple and the government-run lodge is beautiful with winding narrow roads and forest vegetation on either side. If you are lucky to have no vehicle close by to you, you can stop to experience the stillness and the sounds of the forest. I was lucky to spot a group of foxes.

    The piles of elephant dung you see on the road tells you that many elephants cross the road during nighttime. The temple itself is quite small and is visited by many believers. It has spectacular views of the below valley from where you will get to appreciate the dense forests. This place is apparently the only area where Eastern and Western ghat ranges meet.
