Leh || Nubra || Pangong Leh-Ladakh, heaven on earth, is the only synonym that comes to my mind. Everyone should visit this place at least once in their lifetime to experience and witness the miracles of mother nature. Different shades … Continue reading Leh-Ladakh: My First Solo Journey

It has been more than 7 years ever since I went to Bali, but it still feels like yesterday. All the memories related to this place are so fresh. Well, one of reason for this place to be special is it was our honeymoon destination – perfect, serene, and the most beautiful.

Pratapgarh Farms | Chowki Dhani It is always difficult to decide a place for a day trip from Delhi, especially when you have small kids. One needs to consider a lot of factors before zeroing in on a picnic place. There are a lot of questions that pop up – is it a baby-friendly spot? Can I take food inside? Can we carry baby bags? How much time will it take to reach the place, etc.? etc. Have listed two such places which are baby/kids friendly. And the best part is, this place is for everyone. There is something for … Continue reading Day Trip from Delhi, India
Hongkong | Macau It was our 1st anniversary, and we were excited to make it a memorable one. After a lot of discussion/exploration on the destination, we zeroed to Hong Kong and Macau. This is a place where anyone and everyone can enjoy – be it a kid, couple, family, or senior citizen. It has something to offer for everyone.

Tourists Points: Beach | 7 Colour Earth | Volcano | Crocodile Park Adventure Sports: Under Sea Walk | Underwater Submarine Scooter | Parasailing | Banana Boat | Quad Biking It was my first offsite trip. I still remember, almost 2 decades ago, going to Mauritius. It was considered a luxurious place, and only rich people used to go. Actually, at that time, travelling abroad was a big thing. Not everyone could afford it. It was a fad in TV serials as well; they used to have a couple of episodes showcasing Mauritius as a couple went on a Honeymoon or a … Continue reading Dream Destination: Mauritius
Nanital | Naukuchaital | Sattal | Bhimtal Nainital, known as the “Lake District of Uttarakhand”, is one of the most popular hill stations in India, especially for Northern India – it serves as a weekend gateway tourist destination. I always wanted to visit this place for two reasons: one, it is a beautiful place, and second, it is near to Delhi. Generally, people tend to visit those places that are far away and ignore the places that are nearby, thinking they can travel to these places anytime. And nearby places always get ignored as taken-for-granted destinations. We went there in … Continue reading Uttrakhand, The Lake District: Nainital, Naukuchaital, Sattal, Bhimtal
The trip to Rishikesh was one of my best adventures and cherished trips. Not only was it well arranged/planned, but it was also my last trip as a bachelorette (before getting married) with friends. We were a group of 5 mad people (3 girls & 2 guys). We started our journey early in the morning, at around 6 am, in our own vehicle from Delhi to avoid city traffic. When I look back now, it is very easy to plan things when one is single, with family. A lot of factors have to be considered while traveling, especially with kids. It … Continue reading Adventure Capital of India: Rishikesh
Neemrana is the place where I wanted to go from the day I heard about Flying Fox Adventure. It was the major attraction for me to visit this place. So I was after my husband’s life to go there over a weekend….. We went in Mar, which is not a good season to travel as the day gets quite hot. Luckily, the weather was pleasant during our visit to this place. We preferred to drive down in our own car and stayed here for 1 night, 2 days. It was a 3-hour drive. We reached the hotel at around 1 … Continue reading Ancient Historial Town, Neemrana, Rajasthan, India

Ashtavinayak – literally means 8 Ganesha in Sanskrit. It is another very popular/well-known gateway (for youngsters)/religious place in the state of Maharashtra. The trip refers to visiting 8 distinct idols of Ganesha, which are situated around Pune. Lord Ganesha is worshiped for unity, prosperity, and learning and removes any obstacle. The pilgrimage is important because all the murtis were completely formed by nature and were not created by humans. We visited this place immediately after our marriage as there was an obligation that had to be fulfilled. Earlier, I was really upset as I generally do not like visiting temples. But I … Continue reading Holy Place – Ashtavinayak, Maharashtra, India
Nature’s Place – Hidden Village is a place to relax for people like us who live in urban cities and need desperate breaks from their regular city life. Quite a place to relax and refresh one’s mind by getting closer to nature. Hidden Village, the name says it all, is actually hidden from the world, the lesser visited/known weekend gateway from Mumbai, Maharashtra. Went to this serene, beautiful place last month. It is approximately an hour’s drive from Mumbai. After almost reaching this place, as per the GPS “destination on your right,” we couldn’t actually see this place; it was … Continue reading Hidden Village – Shahpur, Maharashtra, India
Srinagar | Gulmarg | Pahalgam Kashmir…….Yes, it is very rightly said….it is a heaven on Earth. The state is blessed with exquisite natural beauty – snow-clad mountaintops, exotic orchids, lush green pastures, forests….& much more than you can think of… It was our 3rd anniversary & we chose Kashmir for the celebration. The decision could not have been better… We went in Dec, and it was a really chilly winter in Kashmir. I must say one should visit Kashmir during winter (which is considered a not-so-friendly season for travelers). In Dec, you would see more foreign tourists than Indians. This … Continue reading “Heaven” on Planet Earth – Kashmir, India
Munnar | Tekkaddy | Kumarakom | Cochin Kerela – Land of Gods or God’s own country, as it is so rightly said. It’s a paradise on planet Earth, similar to Kashmir in the North. The only missing thing in Kerela is snow; otherwise, it is as beautiful as Kashmir. It is a Heaven on planet Earth. We (me & my husband) went to Kerela during Monsoon season, which is considered as not so good season to go. But I feel one should travel during off seasons. And trust me, you do not lose a single thing in terms of sightseeing, … Continue reading God’s Own Country – Kerela, India
