Believer and the Plural

You should believe in someone to travel with.
No, I’m not gonna believe in an app but the people. But, whom should I believe?

The answer is simple, the local guides! Okay, but how ?

Let me take you back to the month of January of this year. My friends wanted to go somewhere but have no idea where to go around our city, later we heard a name from a friend, The Bahubali Waterfalls.


So we asked him to describe the place and he was out of time at the same. All we got was, visit the place blindly and discover the incredible place or just a weird one to waste the energy. The alternative was to check the quality reviews from the previous visitors and decide. That was the proud moment thinking how my reviews helped many who read the to know from “Google maps”. It was like helping each other anonymously with trusted badges, like we were completely relying on the reviews from Local Guides. However based on the reviews we went prepared for every possible situation and I say those reviews are like a tourist guide book. And to someone else my reviews would be same. Such a wonderful platform the Google Maps was/is/will.
As soon as google maps helped us reaching the destination through unknown routes (to us), we just jumped into water getting rid of travel heat. As they wouldn’t seem so interesting to watch us bath, here are few pics taken while climbing to the peak point.

after having a snap over here I was curious inside out to find the massive stone hill to climb up and there the name BAHUBALI was written, that made me feel awesome, b’coz the bahubali name has been derived from a Indian movie name where the film depicts a massive waterfalls. An the picture of that That was wonderful experience to feel proud of what I’m doing out of a habit, helping each other help seekers from Maps. goes here. And the people around the Location or people from Vizag, Andhra Pradesh should make a visit to experience the beauty and the scary Bahubali waterfalls.
