basic ga mana desis prefer cruise trip from Seattle (cutting across Canada) to Juneau but dini tho main problem enti ante Canada Visa vundali (stamping issues), limited places to see...so inland trip plan chesa

This is the route:

Anchorage > Seward > Whittier > Matanushka area (Glennallen route) > Talkeetna > Denali National Park

[b]Day1: Anchorage[/b]

This is Alaska's largest & beautiful city with excellent views of Chugach Mountain ranges and Cook Inlet...I highly recommend starting your tour from here. Hotels lo book chesukunna Bread & Breakfast (B& lo book chesukunna inchuminchu okkate and koncham Alaskan feel explore cheddam anukuni we went for B&B + you get a good home cooked breakfast kooda.

Downtown ki daggarlo oka old couple intlo digam....place and hospitality was great! they made us feel comfortable and gave lot of information about Alaska....

Next day morning old man flew us over Chugach Mountains & Eagle glacier for just $40 for 2 of us...he just shares fuel costs with guests who stay in his B&B ( cheap...will explain more on this)....1 hr fly aithe asalu fly avtunnam ani kaani oka single engine plane lo vunnam ani kaani marchipoyam anta beautiful ga vunnayi views!!

Taravata Alaska native heritage center ki velli akkada original natives ela bratikero chupinche old houses & valla life style gurinchi cheppe info vuntadi...I am a history buff so naku interesting gane anipinchindi but otherwise also just spend about 45 mins to 1 hr to get an idea about the people.

There are three types: Native Indians (Juneau&South East belt), Eskimos (Interior & North belt), Aleuts (South west Island chain)

Inka dini taravata downtown lo souvenir shopping, manchi food tini inka relax...intakanna pedda ga time spend cheyyalsina pani ledu ikkada

vuuuu

[brahmacharya]

I felt truly humbled after seeing how the natives especially the Eskimos lived there through ages.....Jalsa lo dialogue (Akaleste nela vaipu, Dahameste akasam vaipu chuse janam vunnaru) nothing anipinchindi....Bering Sea, Northern Alaska lo janam ki winter lo whale okkate dikku....Akaleste samudram vaipu dahamesthe snow vaipu chudatam tappa vallaki vere dari vundedi kaadu anta....oka whale ni champithe danini chala respect ga pray chesi, andaru panchukoni malli tirigi vachi maku annam pettu ani pray chese varata

A Kashtalu chuste chi manavi kooda kashtala anipistayi

[b]Day2: Seward[/b]

E place matram the most important part of the trip bhayyo...time ledu anukunte Anchorage eve/night digi morning Seward start ayyipondi

Relaxed ga vellali time vundi anukunte I recommend taking a ARR (Alaskan Rail Road) scenic trip from Anchorage to Seward....Train or Car the views are to die for ani chepochu....Chugach mountain ranges & Kenai mountain ranges cross avuti Chugach national forest area ninchi Seward veltaru

Seward lo car avasaram pedda ga padadu unless you want to go bear watching to Homer & other areas (very expensive!) so train option pettukundam anukunte ala seward velli akkada cruise vuntadi adi chesi you can come back to Anchorage and get your rental car for other places.

Car route ki plan chepta....Seward is just 2 hr drive from Anchorage but I bet you will stop N number of times to get pictures en route...ikkadiki vellaka 8 hr glacier & wildlife cruise is highly recommended....pedda glaciers vati calving activity and sea life across the resurrection bay with picturesque views kanipistayi...ikkada kooda you will have lot of picture opportunities
