Outlook traveller has been published by the media barons from Bengal. A well edited 510 pages 52 weekends from Bangalore is a must for all the travel buffs. A first hand travel experience of well travelled professionals, along with professional photos from various angles is the beauty of this compilation.
Of course the enroute destinations have been deliberately given a miss for example on the route to return to Bangalore from Karkala, one can come across, Sringeri, Hummangudi water falls, Hornadu, Kudremukh & Belur. These destinations could have been highlighted but maybe fun of discovery may be taken off. The intentions may be noble.
There are other destinations which are given a miss since the concept maybe to cover destinations for 52 weeks only. The other recommended destinations are located in Kolar district, Chitradurga district, Uttar Kanara district, Bidar district and Bagalkot districts.
One or two photographs shot from an angle is excellent, one of the taxi drivers posing on the NH 47 highway, on Marvanthe beach gives the panaromic outlook of the beach and the river. Another photograph is of the shiva statue shot from the Murudeswar beach, which covers the beach, the town, the hillock and the huge monolith Shiva statue.
My classmate MAHESH DATTANI, a Josephite too has contributed to review in this book which makes it all the more exciting. For those who of you are aware of the theatre field, he is a well known personality originating from Bangalore. Now he is busy directing plays, serials, tv interviews, etc. Of course it is a mystery why he still considered to be single and ready to mingle ? Pun intended.
Now it is better to get hold of this book from Reliance digital stores or cunnigham road The book is also available in leading bookstores, which costs Rs 225.
