Must see Places in Virgin Gorda

Published

Want to go far, far away from the madding crowd? Have been stuck in the maddening ruckus of the city and just want to spend time with your family on the golden beaches of the Caribbean? Well, you don’t need to look any further because Virgin Gorda has you covered. One of the biggest islands in the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, this place is sure to soothe your mind and soul. Spread over an area of about eight and a half square mile, you can do many things, with the option of getting homes with a private pool in Virgin Gorda. Often described as “The rich, plump beauty of the British Virgin Islands”, this place is also a home to many famous personalities like Morgan Freeman.

So, in case you are ready to pack your bags and catch the next flight to the Caribbean dream, here’s a list of things to do and see when you get to Virgin Gorda:

  1. The Baths

Probably the most famous spot in Virgin Gorda, this beautiful place is a result of the formation of a series of caverns created by volcanic lava over 70 million years ago. These caverns are flooded with seawater and give you a chance to experience the most unique swimming and snorkelling experience. That’s not even the best part, though. It also offers you the chance to take a trek that may as well change your life. In this trek, you trail through the deep, dark caverns, climb boulders, wade through tidal pools and pass through narrow passages to reach the Devil’s Bay, which is a breathtakingly picturesque bay on the south-western tip of this island. Grand and sparkling, Devil’s Bay has quiet beaches and views that have been known to inspire goosebumps in every first time traveller.

  1. Savannah Bay

This exquisite site is at a very short distance from the main city, towards the north of the valley. With more than a mile-long route of white sand, Savannah Bay offers you one of the most exhilarating walks you might take in your life. The water is a lustrous and calm shade of blue. If you want some solitary time and take in the rhythm that feels the Caribbean, this is where you would want to be at. But, keep in mind one thing. This peace comes at the price of facilities and the company of people so one must come fully prepared.

  1. Spring Bay

This one is situated pretty close to the Baths. Spring Bay offers you the beauty of the Baths but without all the people around. If you have been craving some solo adventure, this is the place you want to go to. The white sand lies strewn with humongous boulders that you may take your time climbing and exploring. And while the crystal-clear waters are popular with swimmers, the best thing about this place is the area called the Crawl. The Crawl is a clear blue pool protected from the sea by the boulders strewn around it and offers one of the best snorkelling experience you can have in the entire Caribbean. As for facilities, again this does not have much, just some picnic tables lining the shade of the sea-grape trees.

  1. Gorda Peak National Park

Situated at a height of 1359 feet, Gorda Peak is the highest point on this island. There are two trails that lead you up to this point through the national park (East side and West side). It is one of the last remaining examples of the Caribbean dry forests in the whole region, making it a really special site. As you hike your way to the peak, you can find many endangered plant species strewn on the way. You can also find the Virgin Gorda geckos who are the smallest lizards in the world. Once you reach the peak, you can find the watchtower from where you are rewarded with an exquisite panoramic view of the whole British Virgin Islands and the peninsula. The picnic spots offer good places to rest once you return from your hike. The spots tends to attract zebra butterflies and hummingbirds in dozens, making this land seem like something out of a book.

  1. The Copper Mine

If you are a history buff or just intrigued by the cultures of the world, the Copper mine is a place that you will definitely love. Situated at the South-Eastern tip of this island, this place plays a very important role in shaping the history of this island. Amerindians use this place as a copper resource before the Spaniards passing through the British Virgin Islands found it. After the Spaniards, Cornish people used this place for mining. The slopes are still scattered with the ruins of their homes, mining shafts, engine houses, cisterns, operation centres. You’ll also find granite rock outcroppings with deposits of feldspars, tin copper, quartz and other clay minerals surrounding the copper mine. But that’s still not all. The Copper mine is also an abode of the white-tailed tropicbirds who nest here in in the nooks and crannies of the rocky cliffs by the sea. If you’re lucky, you can watch them dive from incredible heights to feed on the marine life here.

Obviously, there are a lot of names missing from this list. Bays, beaches, ponds, peaks with a panoramic view of the archipelago, rare species of flora and fauna, this island is a heaven for everyone coming here. But whether you can fit it all into your plans depends on the dreaded return date. Do not worry if you miss out on anything, though, because once you set foot on this charmed land, you will be sure to keep returning here again and again.

Article 36 - How to get your learner's driving licence From Home

Introduction

These days, knowing how to drive a car is a life skill. A citizen cannot operate a motor vehicle on a public road without a valid driver’s licence, according to the Motor Vehicle Act of 1988. Beginners in India must have a valid learner’s driving licence in order to practise driving on public roads unless they have a permanent driving  licence holder.

What is a learner’s driving licence?

In India, obtaining a learner’s driving licence is the first step toward getting a driver’s licence. A learner’s driving licence is a provisional and restricted licence given by the relevant state Regional Transport Office (RTO) and Regional Transport Authority (RTO). After receiving a learner’s driving licence, you will be permitted to practise driving on public roads as long as you are accompanied by someone who carries a valid, permanent driving licence. Before you may get a permanent driving licence , you must first have a Learner’s License for the appropriate vehicle class.

Online learner’s driving licence

State governments are focusing on methods to make the process of applying for a learner’s permit and taking the exam easier. While Delhi is set to implement a system in the coming months, Maharashtra’s government issued two orders to the state’s 50 RTOs, one of which allows people to get a learner’s licence by taking a test at home using an Aadhaar-based verification method. If Aadhaar authentication is not desired, the existing method for obtaining a learner’s licence can be followed.

These facilities will have significant socioeconomic benefits, reducing footfall at RTOs, weeding out illegal agents, and reducing corruption while reducing staff workload and saving citizens’ time and money.

Things to Remember

  1. Watch videos to prepare

Before taking the licence test using the new online mode, the government recommends that applicants watch several videos on road safety.

  1. Passing criteria

To pass the test, they must be able to properly answer 60% of the questions. Those that pass can then print their licence themselves.

  1. Authentication

Those seeking a learner’s licence must furnish their Aadhar card number before completing an online test at home, according to a state government rule.

Final Note

To avoid issues, complete awareness of and obedience to traffic regulations is required. Even if you manage to avoid paying the fine to a traffic cop, the e-challan system is designed in such a way that you may not be able to avoid paying traffic fines. Furthermore, during COVID-19, an electronic system will help both the people and the traffic administration. Bike insurance policyholders benefit from protection against legal liability and financial expenses, among other things. Finserv MARKETS offers a variety of bike insurance packages.

How To Host a Mini Festival

Published

How do you organize a small music festival?

If you’re a lover of festivals and enjoy the great outdoors, you may be wondering if you could host your own festival and invite all your favorite people. Music, dancing, food, and friends; what’s not to love? If you want to take the plunge and plan the best outdoor party, what do you need to consider?

Tents

As much as you may wish that weather prediction was a real superpower, it’s pretty difficult to accurately predict good weather. However, that need not stop festival planning, and you should plan for the worst case scenario. If rain were to bless you with its presence on the festival day, it should not stop play if you’re prepared with tipis and tents.

If you’re hosting the festival in your garden, and it’s big enough, you could fit several large gazebos or tipis in the space.  If you are planning on making it a regular event, you could invest in some good quality tents/gazebos/tipis. Compare prices online and don’t always choose the cheapest. You will want them to last for a good few years, so ensure you research and buy the best you can afford. If you think this may be the only festival you do, you could hire some tents and locate companies that will erect them for you; one less thing for you to think about.

Seating

If you want to embrace the true festival spirit, then scatter the garden with rugs and hay bales. For a more substantial weatherproof option, you could look at Sumo beanbags that are available in various sizes, colors, and styles. For dining options, you can opt for hiring outdoor seating to place in the tents.

Food and drink

To keep costs down, you could buy in bulk and provide the food yourself. BBQs or cold food options are great for convenience, and buffet-style dining is easy and can accommodate everyone.

For an even easier option, get in caterers. It’s a festival, so no one expects gourmet, 3-course dining. Many companies offer services such as pizza vans offering hot dogs etc. or an old-fashioned fish & chip van.

If you’re hosting the festival in your garden, and it’s big enough, you could set up a bar for the all-important drinking fest. Have fun with it. You can buy cheap drinks accessories such as umbrellas and straws from online retailers and buy alcohol in bulk to keep the costs low. If you have access to electricity on the garden, fridges full of ice in buckets, and a few scattered flowers will get people in the festival vibe.

Music/clothing

For most people, festivals are all about music, music and more music! The best way to replicate a real festival is to hire a live band. Live music will get your guests on their feet, embracing the true festival vibe.

Search on social media for local groups that play a variety of music that will appeal to all tastes. You could create a small stage and make it the focal part of the garden. Be sure to check electricity requirements beforehand for the safety of everyone.

Most people love a dress-up, so add some sparkle and ask your guests to dress up in typical festival gear. Flowers, dresses, face paints, and glitter will create a great atmosphere and provide some excellent photo opportunities to remember the day.

Festivals are a fantastic way to let your hair down and enjoy the company of all your favorite people at the same time. Get planning today!
