1.Calangute

Calangute  is a census town with a permanent population of approximately 16,000 (2001) in North Goa, in the state of Goa, India. It is famous for its beach, the largest in north Goa, visited by thousands of domestic and international tourists alike. The peak tourist season is during Christmas and New Year, and during the summer in May. During the monsoon season, from June through September, the sea can be rough and swimming is prohibited.

Marina Beach is a beach in the city of Chennai (Madras), India, along the Bay of Bengal, part of the Indian Ocean. The beach runs from near Fort St. George in the north to Besant Nagar in the south, a distance of 14  km, making it the longest urban beach in the country. The Marina is primarily sandy, unlike the short, rocky formations that make up the Juhu Beach in Mumbai. The width of the beach at the widest stretch is 437 meters.It is the second longest beach stretch in the world.

3.Varkala

Varkala  is a coastal town and municipality in Thiruvananthapuram district situated in the Indian state of Kerala. It is located 50 kilometres (approx. 32 miles) north-west of Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) and 37 km south-west of Kollam.
Varkala is the only place in southern Kerala where cliffs are found adjacent to the Arabian Sea. These tertiary sedimentary formation cliffs are a unique geological feature on the otherwise flat Kerala coast, and is known among geologists asVarkala Formation and a geological monument as declared by the Geological Survey of India. There are numerous water spouts and spas on the sides of these cliffs.
Varkala is also famous for the 2,000-year old Janardana Swami Temple which is an important Vaishnavaite shrine in India and is often referred to as Dakshin Kashi(Benares of the South). The temple is located close to the Papanasam beach, which is considered to have holy waters which wash away sins, and is also an important Ayurveda treatment centre.

Again located in Goa although much more to the north.It is about half an hour's drive from Panajim. It is place where you can see the salty sea and two fresh water lakes with a couple of kms of each other. The trek is long if you have kids along.

KOENIGSEGG REGERA- Beginning of new era koenigsegg regera 2016

Koenigsegg, the Swedish company known for its small-volume production of supercars has come out with the 2016 Koenigsegg Regera. The latest offering from the Swedish luxury brand is their most ambitious yet, being that they have managed to create the most powerful plug-in hybrid vehicle on the market today and shooting ahead of Buggati in the process. The first hybrid “megacar” secured a rightful name in “Regera”, which translates to English as “rule; govern, or reign. So, the name alone gives you a good idea of what’s to come.






The new Regera strongly resembles its obvious predecessor Agera, however Koenigsegg has managed to add plenty of features and stylistic modifications for the vehicle to be able to stand on its own and secure a new moniker. Similarities between the Regera and Agera stop with the new air intakes, headlights and a deeper front splitter that will create more downforce and less drag. Also in the front, new air ducts on the hood, that take some cues from NACA rather than the Agera.

The head and the heart of this megacar is certainly the engine, or in the new Regera’s case three electric motors capable of delivering a staggering 700 hp and 664 pound feet of torque. Alongside the motors comes a 9 kWh liquid cooled battery pack. This combination allows for a system outlet is of arguably excessive 1,500 hp and 1,475 pound feet of torque (in the least). All the power is sent to the rear wheels thanks to brand-new Direct Drive technology, which replaces the traditional gearbox with an electric motor. This mega-engine incorporates variable-vane turbochargers that give the vehicle more low-end torque and an improved throttle response at lower revs, and economical cruise. The new Regera is expected to spirnt from 0 to 60mph in just 2.5 seconds, while the top speed will be, by our estimation, limited to 250 mph.


The 2016 Koenigsegg Regera has made its debut at the 2015 Geneva Motors Show on March 3 and is now available for purchase. Unfortunately, there will only be 80 Regera’s produced worldwide, but for the pricetag of about $2,000,000, the limited release seems justified.
