The new Indian world heritage !

It is a matter of pride to India that Kalka-Shimla mountain railway line has been declared as "World heritage track" by UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization).

It is yet another feather in the cap of Indian railways. Nilgiris mountain railway and Darjeeling Himalayan railway are already included in this list.

Carry on Indian railways !!!

Travel to Singapore - Part II.

Visit to Little India:

We then visited Little India. This was the place where I felt really at home. The streets, the shops, the restaurants, the houses- everything was so Indian. It is famous for The Mustafa- The 24 hour men. The Mustafa centre, as many would know is a big shopping mall cum multi-departmental store.

Mustafa Centre:


One of the internal road called Syed Alwi road leads to Sim Lim Square and Sim Lim Towers famous for electronic items.

Arya Samaj Temple in Syed Alwi Road:



Hotel Saravana Bhawan on the same road:

Veeramakaliamman Temple: This is a south Indian temple of goddess Parvati who is the consort of Lord Shiva, one of the trinity gods according to the Hindu mythology.

Veeramakaliamman Temple, Little India:



We wrapped up our Little India journey with all the fond memories of seeing a little India itself in Singapore.

Next day was a dream visit. Visit to the Sentosa Island.

We reached up to the Mount Faber cable car station by bus and from there we wired our way to the hotspot.

These was taken near the boarding point in Mount Faber.



These were taken from inside the cable car:



This looked to be one of the stations, but right in the middle of the backwaters ? !!!






The Sentosa station


I will post about the places I visited in Sentosa in my next post. In fact, this was the place where I took lot of snaps.
