Dinosaurs in Patagonia

What would you say if you could walk on the seabed fossils dating back millions of yearsThe beautiful Patagonia Argentina, invites you on this occasion, to walk among dinosaurs. In a space decorated with lights and sounds of the era, the Museo Egidio Feruglio offers a peculiar type route scenic.

The birth of the museum

Patagonia Argentina, has for many years, a privileged place at the time of the research palaeontological. According to the specialists have the potential scope of this discipline in the area, is comparable only to certain parts of the world, such as large deposits of Gobi (China) or Alberta (Canada).

The area has been growing receptacle campaigns scientific research, providing more and more amazing discoveries in the field.

Given these circumstances, both locals and professionals from the area, saw the need to establish a framework for the protection of discoveries for future generations.

Thus, in 1988, begins to form the Museo Egidio Feruglio, future site of the pieces discovered containment and development of various research programs and dissemination of knowledge acquired.

On December 28, 1990, the museum finally opens its doors to the public. In parallel, results in the creation of the Fundación Egidio Feruglio, which guides and supports the museum.

Since then, the fruitful work of the researchers of the museum, have been able to locate in the international framework as a benchmark in the area. Thus, constantly establishing partnerships with several major institutions such as American Museum of Natural History in the United States.

A film editing

Like their larger counterparts in the rest of the world, the MEF, sought to establish for the design of the display format of the story. This means that each of their rooms, looking to tell a story to the visitor, on a more vivid way, that reality prehistoric of which today we see only the footprints.

The script and the stage

The general assembly of the museum, was designed based on a script, a story, as happens in the film. That is why, in its various rooms can be found, different scenes.

Each space, is a theatrical setting in which the lights and sounds, are strategically placed.

For their part, exhibited dinosaurs (among which we find more than 7 original skeletons ) appear in hunting pose, showing off their bodies and contoured jaws threatening, among other scenes.

In one of his rooms more attractive you can see yourself walking on the sea floor fossil ago million years.

In his tour, the museum opens its doors with the first traces of the presence of human, through the first living organisms of the sea floor (rooms below).

Another of the characters we find among their samples, is the only horned carnivorous dinosaur that was found so far.

Birds and fish from the Jurassic, fossil dinosaur eggs and plants of the vast forests that covered Antarctica 250 million years ago (yes, the Patagonia was a warm and humid then) are other attractions we can see.

Sedlec Ossuary Tourism and mystery

The tourism traditional offers you usually walks with beautiful mountains, blue lakes and lovely beaches. Today I approached a different, which is mounted, based on the vestiges of an era uprising in  Europe, a mysterious chapel.

Ossuary of Sedlec, what do you mean?

The Sedlec Ossuary (Czech Kostnice Sedlec ) is basically a chapel of the Catholic religion was artistically decorated with human bones. Inside, we find from crosses and family crests, to movables as lighting chandeliers. From there, hence its name.

This enclosure of religious practices, is built under the Church of All Saints Cemetery (in Czech Hrbitovní Všech kostel svatych ) in a suburb of the Czech Republic, Kutna Hora, more precisely in Sedlec.

Doing a bit of history

Thanks to a special gesture taken by Abbot Henry, the monastery of the Cistercian Order of Sedlec, the cemetery of the abbey who presided, was converted from the thirteenth century, a favorite spot throughout Europe Central to bury their dead.

The abbot, returning from a trip to the Holy Land, where he was sent by King Ottokar II of Bohemia in 1278, brought a small piece of land of Golgotha. With her, sprayed her graveyard.

The news of this pious act, was quickly spread, attracting to itself, all eyes and generating a large influx of burials to their plots.

In the mid- fourteenth century the Black Death, brought large numbers of deaths, which added to those produced by the Hussite Wars ( early fifteenth century ) filled the capacity of the cemetery, causing its expansion considerably.

In the year   1400, was built in the central area of this hallowed ground, a Gothic church. It was equipped with a dome on top and a chapel in the basement as an ossuary (bone conserve space).

In this way, they went there moved the mortuary remains of the great mass excavated along the building.

In subsequent years ( 1703 to 1710 ), the chapel was rebuilt with a new entry to be incorporated into the old building (at the mercy of the need to support the front wall that was leaning). The work of remodeling was done in style Baroque Czech by Jan Santini Aichel.

The art of bone turnover

In 1870, the family Schwarzenberg, wants to end the great mass of bones settled for so many years in Sedlec. To do this, hire woodcarver, František Rint, that through their artistic abilities the site tidy.

As I related to the beginning, the artist, took the bones and rearranged so as ornamental and functional within the small chapel.

We can find in their creations, crosses, the arms of the Schwarzenberg family itself (management of labor), big walls and even profuse decorations flanking the altar.

An extraordinary chandelier illuminates the center of the nave of the chapel and garlands of skulls link it to the sides. This magnificent piece, it is said, contains at least one of each bone that forms the human body.

In closing his work, the artist leaves his mark for all with his signature also made of bone, which could have been yours.

Tunisia Sun Beach and culture heritage Tourism

The new authority wants to give more prominence to cultural tourism.

Phoenicians, Romans, Jews and Arabs are some of the people who settled on its shores over the centuries.

Tunisia belonged to Spain during the reign of Charles V.

The democratic revolution that has lived Tunisia wants to change a lot, also their tourism. Its tourism administration has decided to give greater prominence to the cultural and historical tourism in the country and consolidated with the classic 'sun and beach'. The goal, according to the National Tourist Office of Tunisia (ONTT), is to make known his identity after the passage of numerous civilizations throughout history.

A new approach

Tunisia is the smallest country in North Africa, located between the Atlas and the Mediterranean Sea. Approximately 40% of the country is composed of the Sahara Desert, also has 1,300 km of coastline .

It is a cultural destination to discover for the majority of Europeans after the victory of the democratic process in Tunisia in the last elections of October 23 has been a shift in focus of the tourism industry of the country trying to get travelers to this region echo of the importance it has had in the past centuries. "The country is their latest news as a destination for sun and sand settled, but above all as a cultural destination yet to be discovered for the majority of European visitors, "says ONTT . Its strategic location in the Mediterranean and the many civilizations that have occupied (including the Spanish during the reign of Charles V) are configured as either a mestizo country .

A Mediterranean culture and meztiza

Culturally, the Tunisians are a fairly liberal nation . Throughout history there have been frequent exchanges with the rest of the Mediterranean peoples. Art has been very influenced by the cultural mix of the country.

Tunisia passed by the Phoenicians, Romans, Jews, Arabs, and even Spanish Phoenicians, Romans, Jews and Arabs are some of the people who settled in the north coast and in the south, in the desert. These people were added, later, Muslims in Spain and Ottoman Turks. He was also part of the Spanish crown during the reign of Charles V. Thus, in Tunisia find arts and heritage of different styles, from the contributions of the Carthaginians and Romans to the alpine houses with red tiles of Ain Draham, Islamic architecture of the Arab medinas and underground dwellings of the Berbers to the south.

Spanish will spend about 353 euros on Newyear

Well below the European average which stands at 444 euros.

The French spend more (572), the least the Germans (329)

In Spain, the most requested destination for Newyear 2012 is Lanzarote.

So we must adjust the budget in these times of severe crisis the Spanish Europeans will be spending less this Newyear 2014. Those traveling this holiday spend an average of 353 euros per person . This was well below the European average which stands at 444 euros . The French are leading the ranking, with an expenditure in excess of 572 euros.

German prudence

Only Germany (329 euros) is more thrifty than Spain, and the handsome polo, France (572 euros) will be the biggest spender on travel holiday this year. Spanish and English opting more for accommodation only 3 stars Another significant indicator is that, while most European countries have opted for high-class hotels (4 stars), Spain and the UK have hired a lesser accommodation (3 stars). With respect to behavior in the reserves, Spain is in the head of the more farsighted , since reservations are made with 51 days notice, well above Germany (23 days) or France (28 days), countries that are more improvisational.

Four or five days of vacation

Most Europeans will spend an average of four days' stay in the Christmas break and New Year. In the case of Spain, it follows the trend of four days at the ranch year-end, but is extended to five days of Christmas . London and Barcelona star destinations by the end of the year Most of the countries studied opt for trips to European capitals. However, Germany and Spain agree to choose domestic destinations . In the Spanish case, the most requested vacation destination for Christmas is Lanzarote. The German travelers remain faithful to their capital, Berlin, both to enjoy Christmas to welcome 2012. Barcelona and London are the most sought after destinations by the end of the year, while Prague stands as the preferred destination for Christmas.

Natural area in winter magic

It's National Park since 1973 and a Biosphere Reserve since 1981.

In winter, mist and fog make it an enchanted and mysterious.

Among the most abundant birds are the great crested grebe, the grebe, coot, as well as the different species of heron.

Surprising to find in the middle province of Ciudad Real one of the most important aquatic ecosystems of the Iberian Peninsula. The Coldstream Tables are for the variety and quality of its fauna and flora. This wetland was declared a National Park in 1973, Biosphere Reserve in 1981 and included in the Ramsar Convention in 1982. With its declaration as a National Park was a major step in its conservation. This ensures the survival of the birds that use these areas as wintering area.

Tables river

Tables of Coldstream, in terms of Coldstream and Villarrubia de los Ojos , is the last representative of an ecosystem called fluvial tables, training that is caused by the overflowing of the rivers Guadiana and Gigüela, helped by the lack of slope in the ground .

Rediscover Mauritania Treasures

Tourism stopped coming to the country for fear of terrorism in the Sahel.

The ancient cities of Chinguetti, Ouadane, Tichit and Oualata are already World Heritage Site.

The entry visa will cost 152 euros for French tourists, mostly.

Until recently, tourists traveling from the cold north to Mauritania in search of desert landscapes and green oasis. But in recent years, because of terrorism in the Sahel and the consequent fear, things have changed. dunes of golden sand and green oasis at the foot of the mountains the tourist, preferably European, has opted for safer countries. Even the Paris-Dakar Rally, held left on the African continent for the same reasons. But we must return to Mauritania, a country with many desert landscapes of golden sand dunes, green oasis at the foot of the mountains and a rich cultural heritage.

World Heritage Cities

For one thing will be that the ancient cities of Chinguetti, Ouadane (north), Tichit (center) and Oualata (this) have been classified by UNESCO as World Heritage Site. 50,000 tourists arrived in 2010 to Mauritania The attractiveness of these is essential that cities are authorized for travelers , to adapt the quality of accommodation and improved public transport for tourists to visit easily. Another problem for tourism to be encouraged to visit Mauritania is home. The high cost of entry visa to the country: 152 euros for the French, most of the tourists.

More security, more tourism

Figures from the Office of National Tourism (ONT) point out that in 2010 50,000 tourists arrived in Mauritania on scheduled flights and land entry points of Nouadhibou (northern border), Diama and Rosso (border with Senegal). Officially, Tourism contributes 1.5% of Gross Domestic Product of Mauritania , but the ONT believes that the figure is far below the reality. To end the crisis in the ONT developed in 2010 a marketing plan that tries to promote tourism and expand into new countries such as Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain and USA, besides Asians. Similarly, the government makes a sustained effort and steady to enhance security in all parts of the country, especially in places frequented by foreigners, whether tourists, investors or others.

Although the contest has been criticized by institutions such as Unesco, which has its own list of World Heritage sites, as they believe that "it is a simple and pure promotion action, completely irrelevant, since the choice does not follow any standard scientific and parameters only tourist guide ", the Peruvian authorities have been distinguished with joy because, although promoted mass tourism will also serve to increase security measures for achieving sustainable tourism and noninvasive. The Director of Tourism Promotion Promperú state, Maria del Carmen Reparaz, has said that now "we make ourselves known as an Amazonian country, an area which by its geographical greatness is going to make ourselves known to the world." currently Peru is recognized internationally as a destination almost exclusively Andean in which the jewel of Machu Picchu dominates everything.

Chile from a cafe with legs

Today I went back to tread the streets "than it was Santiago" and I could not get close to the Palacio de la Moneda in this bright spring afternoon in the southern advance. Fences do not stop and yet the quiet is wonderful. What happens is that a few yards away, the University is taken by the Chileans angry young men demanding better and cheaper education. A huge banner, which practically covers the nineteenth century facade of the Central House of the University, says: "The struggle is for the entire society. All for free education. " Within the "Penguins" do not cease their advocacy activities. The chairs and tables upside down, indicating that the building is in struggle. " "Penguins" here is what they call high school students for their black and white uniforms , but they are far from being some boobies. Since 2006 have been facing the Organic Law of Education (LOCE), in force since March 10, 1990, just a day before the transfer of the government of dictator first elected president of this democracy, Patricio Aylwin. And little by little have managed to join them university students, teachers, parents, union members and officials to be supported by about 80% of the population, and starring in the biggest demonstrations in Chile since the return of democracy in 1990. A little further I go into what is here called " coffee with legs ", ie a café where waitresses in miniskirts esbeltísimas serve the tea, and read in" El Mercurio "that the general economic situation in Chile is good their euros 9,800 per capita income puts it at the top of the Latin American countries, what we call a real "success" that does not match the image given by the manifestations, or with the idea of Chile as a model country for its neighbors. Something does not match and as the popularity ratings of the current president, Sebastián Piñera, has fallen to 26%, the lowest level of any ruler of Chile's democratic period. Trouble coffee, look at a pair of legs walk past my desk and I hear from afar the cry of "penguins".

Great fiasco of Niagara Falls

In the U.S., Niagara Falls are involved in an unjustified aura of exceptionality.I do not know if you share my opinion, but when I see a piece of nature in a marquetinero drowned , I'm a little off. Also, after having been there twice, I can say with all the letters not worth sight of Niagara Falls.

I do not know if by any chance have talked about the tourist sites that have a oversized fame , but this would be one of them.

Personally I believe that Niagara Falls has only one value, its location, a step of two major markets that consume mainly tourism products themselves . If we add an American tendency to navel-gazing as if it were the prettiest in the world, we have a " travel destination "first level. False.

" The Niagara Falls are one of the greatest natural wonders of the world. "says the official tourist information the United States, to further clarify that" are in the midst of a city . " A city that were grown or planned specifically to enclose nature in a theme park atmosphere.

With 50 meters high, are not anywhere near the world's largest (Salto Angel, 980metros, Victoria Falls, 108 meters, Iguazu Falls, 82 meters). Nor among the most extensive, with less than half as long as the Iguaçu, for example.

Niagara wins in volume of water measured in cubic feet per second (about 85,000) but far from the Inga Falls on the River Congo (910 000) . Of course, the latter are far from American textbooks continue to present their jumps as the mightiest in the world.

Falls continue to be the classic of American and Canadian lovebirds in their honeymoon trip on a budget. Continue to amaze with its bright fireworks and the style Las Vegas ( watch the video, why not for a moment thought it was Disney World or the strip of Nevada? ). The fate of hundreds of coaches get away from large cities in the area. But if you travel from Europe or the rest of America, do not think I deserve a detour from your trip so that you know.

Cristina Fernández in Argentina

Cristina Fernández achieved an unprecedented triumph of democracy in Argentina

Fernandez's victory prevented the second round and opened the door to the absolute majority of officers in the Argentine Congress.

It's the biggest endorsement of a candidate since democracy returned to Argentina in 1983, with about 55% of the vote.

The Socialist Hermes Binner, the second most votes, 15% achieved.

76% of the nearly 29 million Argentines go to the polls voted on this journey.

The president of Argentina, the Peronist Cristina Fernandez , has achieved this Sunday reelection in the general elections held in the South American country.

Counted for 15.5 percent of votes, the candidate gets the win with 53% of the votes , while the Socialist Hermes Binner, the Broad Progressive Front, placed second, with 16.98 percent of the vote.

However, a survey of exit polls commissioned by the Government awarded to Cristina's triumph with 57% of the vote.

Over 76% of the nearly 29 million Argentines have voted enabled, according to the House Elections.

It is expected that the gap between Fernandez and the opposition is greater as counting progresses

At the current rate, higher than the polls predicted before the election, Fernandez would be supported with the highest percentage achieved by a president since the return of democracy in 1983.

In addition to president and vice president, Argentina also voted Sunday to 130 national deputies for half of the lower house and 24 senators to replace one third of the body, and renews the government of nine provinces.

The policies of the triumph

Fernandez has prevailed throughout the country except in the small province of San Luis, cradle of presidential candidate Alberto Rodriguez Saa, and has broken records in history 's most impoverished areas. Their candidates have been placed in eight of the nine provinces were chosen Governor won the ruling.

The calls for moderation and unity that marked the last year in office, since the former President Nestor Kirchner widowed, have, according to local analysts, crucial to overcome the wear that had accumulated in the first stage of management that opened in 2007.

In addition, Fernandez has maintained the policy of human rights initiated by her husband, with the trials of the repressive military dictatorship (1976-1983), has significantly improved pension and minimum wage and has deepened populist strategies of subsidies , such as assigning universal child.

Policies that, together, have provided new support for part of the middle class urban and demonstrates its success unprecedented in the city of Buenos Aires, ruled by the conservative Mauricio Macri.

Thousands of people took to the streets of Buenos Aires after the close of the polls to participate in a festival in the Plaza de Mayo and celebrate the victory of their candidate, who began the day with a moving evocation of the figure of Nestor Kirchner , to cast their vote in the Patagonian city of Rio Gallegos, where he has fixed his family residence.

"Cristinazo"

The elections were also present in social networks like Twitter, where "Cristinazo" and "Binnerazo" are among the most frequently mentioned issues, referring to the overwhelming victory that would have gotten the president of Argentina, the Peronist Cristina Fernandez and second place obtained by the Socialist Hermes Binner, according to early polls. Supporters of one and another fight in the "tweets" to see who gets higher in the trend topics.

In the province of Buenos Aires, the current governor, Daniel Scioli, literally swept with a lead of more than 40 points, the dissident Peronist Francisco de Narvaez, a Colombian-born businessman who was willing to immediately recognize his defeat.

Also expected was the second place he achieved Hermes Binner , which passes the central government of the province of Santa Fe to become Argentina's opposition leader as head of a broad front that aims to pay tribute to the eponymous Uruguayan force.

A surprise, but unpleasant, was the Radical candidate, Ricardo Alfonsín , who just won the 13.21 percent of votes and lost the second position it had achieved in the primary election in August.

One of the surprises of the day was the apology of former President Fernando de la Rua

The defeat of Alfonsin, who based his campaign on trying to emulate the image of his father, the late Raul Alfonsin, the first democratic president after the dictatorship, will likely lead to the Radical Civic Union to review their mistakes and rethink their political strategy.

The dissident Peronist governor of San Luis, Alberto Rodriguez Saa, took the 7.33 per cent.

The other surprise of the day came from the hand of the leftist Jorge Altamira, a Trotskyite who had been a "miracle" in the August primary to get the votes needed to stay in the fight today presidential candidate beat known and Elisa Carrio, Civic Coalition, the big loser of the day.

Carrie said just 1.66 percent of the vote, far from giving up, said parliamentary leader of your small group.

Eduardo Duhalde , former President, former governor of Buenos Aires and leader of the Peronist forgotten, was the other big loser of the day, with the worst performance in his political career. Duhalde, who led the country between 2002 and 2003 and designated successor to Kirchner, has garnered only 5.6 percent of votes, he will not give up politics.

In addition, one of the surprises of the day was the request for an apology from the former president Fernando de la Rua , who resigned in 2001 amid the worst crisis in the country's history. "There are about ten years since I quit the government if anything bother anyone, if I made a mistake I apologize to the people," said the president going to vote in Argentina's capital.

National unity and tribute to Nestor Kirchner

I want to call all national unity, not to distract us from useless confrontations, "the president said in his first appearance after the official confirmation of his overwhelming victory in general elections, with more than 53 percent of the vote and about 36 points ahead of the second candidate.

The president, meanwhile, returned Sunday to mourn at the memory of her husband and predecessor, the late former President Nestor Kirchner. "It's the great founder of the victory tonight" and "without the things that he dared would have been impossible to get here," said Fernandez.

The president appeared to rigorous mourning before hundreds of supporters gathered at a hotel in Buenos Aires and melted in an embrace with her children, Florence and Max, and even his girlfriend, Agustina.

A "he" as emphatically refers to President Kirchner since his death, "it was the hand in fighting for the dreams and lost his life. I want to be an example for all young people and to all men and women in politics, "he said.

"When I think of him, in 2003 and 22 percent of votes, my God, all he could do, and now I see these numbers, which are impressive and deeply appreciate. They thought that if the numbers two years ago, We have tried crazy, "he admitted.

"I have the honor of being the first woman in the country re-elected. what more I can love. I just want to contribute with the highest responsibility to follow Argentina's bigger, "he said, visibly moved.

Another surprise of the day was the request for an apology from the former president Fernando de la Rua , who resigned in 2001 amid the worst crisis in history.

Peacock Sanctuary In India

The Largest Peacock Sanctuary In India

Most of us  haven’t seen even one peacock dance.  Can you  imagine what  it would be like to watch more than 100 of them spread out their colourful feathers and sway to the sounds of  monsoon and thunder.. ? Yes, if you are lucky you can see these grand spectacle during the rainy season in the Naigon   Morachi Chincholi Peacock Sanctuary in Maharashtra, which has nearly 3500 peacocks in its domains and is India’s largest sanctuary for peacocks.

One could almost miss the entrance to village  Chincholi  Morachi, 45 km  from the industrial  town of Chakn near Pune, if not for an arch with two peacocks  made of cement on it.  The name of the village itself  speaks  about its uniqueness.  Chincholi  comes from the Marathi Chincha,  tamaraind,  and Morachi from Mor peacock.  The village  owes  its name to the tamarind  trees  and peacocks  that abound here.   “There have always  been peacocks  in our village”, said Shivaji Baburao Nanekar, a farmer.  “No one is allowed to kill them”  said Kamaltai, Nanekar’s wife and added “Once a visitor killed a peacock.  We had him arrested and buried  the bird respectfully.  For us  peacock  is like God.  After all, it is God Kartikeyas’  vehicle”.

Legend has it that there was a saint called Mathersaheb Dev at the village  whom people revered a lot. The saint used to feed peacocks grains from his hand. The peacocks used to frequent his cottage. The harmony between the saint and the peacocks was legendary. Once a someone hit a peacock with a stone, trapped it and later killed it. When the saint heard about this, he was deeply grieved and pronounced a curse: whoever had inflicted pain on the peacock would go blind. The words rang true and the man lost his eyesight. He came imploring to the saint to give him back his vision. The saint told the man, “It is possible only if you make an offering of a peacock made of silver to the village temple.” The man complied and got back his eyesight. This legend is so deeply embedded in the psche of the 500-odd residents of Chincholi Morachi that they treat peacocks as god, a symbol of divinity There are mainly two reasons for the burgeoning peacock population. The hills around Ahmednagar are formed by a stone and soil mixture known as Deccan Trap and the red soil, mixed with gravely-textured rock chips, keeps the monsoon moisture locked under the top soil layer for many months after the last rains have fallen. The air is humid and warm and the tree symbol of divinity There are mainly two reasons for the burgeoning peacock population. The hills around Ahmednagar are formed by a stone and soil mixture known as Deccan Trap and the red soil, mixed with gravely-textured rock chips, keeps the monsoon moisture locked under the top soil layer for many months after the last rains have fallen. The air is humid and warm and the tree cover remains thick throughout the year. This environment is ideally suited to the growth of peacocks.

Local people have developed an incredible rapport with peacocks in  Chincholi Morachi. This relationship has to be seen to be believed. What’s most interesting is that these residents take care of the peacocks, despite the fact that the birds venture into their farms and cause damage to standing crops. Although the government has set Rs 2,000 as compensation for one hectare of grain loss, the locals do not avail it. The common refrain is: the peacock is our God and it is our privilege that it eats our crops.

Every morning , Kamaltai gives grains to peacocks that come  to her house. Some of them are so used to  the villagers  that they return to the houses where they are fed at night.   The locals  do not want anyone to invade the peace of the sanctuary. But many do. Recollects Puru Bai, “Earlier, people belonging to the Pardi community used to come and throw nets to catch peacocks. My father used to shoo these people away. At that time, there was no forest department to help us. Now, if anybody creates a nuisance in the sanctuary, we inform the foresters.”. Ganesh Chincholikar another resident  says  “If we find suspicious-looking elements, we get in contact with the Range Forest Officer (RFO) and tell him about their movements.” Sanjay reveals many outsiders (tourists) come to their dhaba and offer to pay Rs 2,000 if they get them peacock meat, but are given a stern warning and told to leave.

The RFO R S Gavhand says tree cover is important to sustain peacock population. However, the biggest problem is that of cattle grazing. It is for this reason that the forest department has started planting neem, sitaphal, mangoes etc on the undulating terrain of the sanctuary But the RFO is confident that with the participation of the local residents, the forest department will be able to succeed in its attempt. He reveals that when a recent fire broke out, it was these people who helped him combat it. Says Gavhand, “We ensured that the peacocks did not get touched by the blaze even though many of us burnt our hands in dousing the flames.” However, every February, at the end of the winter, the birds shed their feathers in the natural course of their growth, and forest folk collect these to sell to tourists

There are basic facilities available for visitors coming to see the peacocks.  Best times to see the peacocks are in early morning and six p.m in the evening. If you were to reach the place at 8 a.m in the morning you can stay with one of the village homes  see the peacocks by 6 p.m and return to Pune. This tourist service that includes half days’s stay  will cost you 250 rupees including your breakfast and lunch. If you want to stay overnight so that you can see the peacocks in the morning, then the one day stay costs you 700 rupees per person. (• If you are planning for overnight stay ( 1 day & 1 night )  Check In/Out : 10:00AM).   One day trip includes, Snacks, delicious  lunch with full of desi ghee & tea/milk ) provided by the villagers accommodating you. Lunch  is  typical rural Maharashtrian fare – Bhakri (thick chapatis or bread made of white millet flour), matki (a dish with sprouts), turi chi Bhaji (dish made with ridge gourd), daal (pulses) and Bhaat (Rice), and all of us tucked in with gusto.

The Central Government has not earmarked any fund for the sanctuary and the money that comes from the State Government is a trickle, only Rs 1.2 lakh annually on an average. Protecting a 29.90 square kilometre sanctuary with such a budget is close to impossible.  But recently the Maharashtra Government has sanctioned 50 lakhs for building the infrastructure facilities at Chincholi Morarchi and 20 lakhs for building a guesthouse at the village for visitors coming to see the peacocks. Let us hope that this will make Chincholi-Morarchi a grand success as a tourist spot.

Gaurimarg to Gulmarg

Amongst various tourist spots of Kashmir, Gulmarg happens to be the most frequented place. Like in the past, this year too thousands of people, including tourists from various places visited the green meadows of Gulmarg.

However, besides being a place of tourist attraction in the present times, Gulmarg is historically important as well. Ever since the rule of Chak dynasty in Kashmir, Gulmarg has been a place of attraction for royal families.

Gulmarg originally served as grazing fields and was called ‘Gaurimarg` the name of Lord Shiva's wife by shepherds. It was in the 16th century that the name was changed to ‘Gulmarg’ by ruler of the Chak dynasty, Yousuf Shah Chak.

“It was called Gulmarg because the fragrance of flowers would fill the air all the time. ‘Gul’ means flowers and ‘marg’ means abode,” says writer Zareef Ahmad Zareef.

Gulmarg is believed to have been favorite haunt of Mughals, particularly that of Jahangir. However the development popularity and development of Gulmarg came with the British rule in India.

“Gulmarg was the most favorite place of Britishers. They lived in tents there,” Zareef Ahmad said. Golf was also introduced in Gulmarg by the Britishers. It is believed that Britishers opened it for golf lovers in the year 1904 and started the golf club. Today Gulmarg has the highest golf course in the world.

“When Britishers lived in Gulmarg they started writing about it and inviting people to this place which in a way marketed Gulmarg,” said Zareef. He says that the ambience of Gulmarg was calm and serene, with no noise or pollution which served as best environment for recreation to people.

Zareef added that other tourist places like Pahalgam were non existent. The place was unknown to the common people of Kashmir and was visited only by elites.

“It was because of the shrine of Baba Rishi that common people of Kashmir started visiting Gulmarg,” reveals Zareef. Shrine of Baba Rishi is located few kilometers from Gulmarg.

Gradually, Gulmarg began to be developed for resorts and hotels to provide facilities for visitors. All construction work was done in wood.

Situated 56 kilometers from Srinagar city, today Gulmarg is a major tourist destination of Kashmir. It is the only places here which support winter tourism, with highest Ski slopes in the world. Different developmental works are being undertaken to make it a world class tourist destination. Nonetheless, no attention is being given to the rising pollution level of the place.

Wildlife safaris in Dachigam

Wildlife safaris in Dachigam new attraction for tourists

The commencement of wildlife safaris in Kashmir’s Dachigam National Park has become a new attraction for the locals and

the visitors here.

Launched in 2009, the eco-friendly battery driven cars, serving as safari vehicles, provide a real time experience of the nature and its beauty. The visitors are taken in by the scenic wilderness in the silent eco-friendly cars amid the green virgin forests where one gets to see all kinds of wild animals.

"We have launched these battery driven cars in the Dachigam so that people can see the wildlife of Kashmir," said Rashid Naqash, wildlife warden, Dachigam.

The people wishing to take glimpse of the animals are taken in the car which drives through the park. The wildlife department charges Rs 500 a car to carry a maximum of four people through the Dachigam wildlife sanctuary.

"We take the visitor close to nature where they see different wild animals. It is completely safe," said Naqash. The drive through the park takes over an hour. Tourists observe the animals from their cars.

The Dachigam wildlife sanctuary sprawls over an area of 140 square kilometers. It is home to endangered red deer, black and brown bears, musk deer, leopards and large bird species such as black partridge and pheasants.

"It is really wonderful to visit this wildlife sanctuary. This gives a new face of Kashmir," said Manisha, a visitor from West Bengal, who had come to Dachigam.

"We spotted black bear and deer during our trip into the sanctuary. It was for the first time I saw them so closely," said Vineet, Manisha’s son.

"During the drive through the sanctuary, one does not realize that we live in cities. You feel cut off from the world," says another visitor.

For locals, the pleasure of the going into the sanctuary is no less.

"We are happy that government has started these cars like safaris. Kashmir has unique wildlife and it has to be made attractive to people," said Firdous Ahmad.

"Dachigam has always been my favorite place. And these safaris have added to its attraction now," adds Maqbool, a student.

In the past two decades of conflict, no facilities of safaris were available in any National Park of the state. The presence of security forces and militants in the forest kept people largely from going to such places. Initiatives were taken only after there was a dip in the militancy related activities in the forest areas.
