Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Park: Wildlife in Madhya Pradesh

Sarika

Bedaghat || Bandhavgarh National Park || Kanha National Park After the whole 2 years of covid, we wanted to celebrate the new year somewhere. Though we needed to figure out where to go, it would be crowded everywhere. Most people would like to go out and celebrate. Therefore we wanted a place that would be less crowded, and we thought of going to the Jungle. Usually, resorts in Jungle have limited people staying, and you get the jeep exclusively for safari. You do not have to share it with anyone. Hence we decided to go to Bandhavgarh and Kanha National … Continue reading Bandhavgarh and Kanha National Park: Wildlife in Madhya Pradesh

Sarika

Khajuraho || Panna National Park Khajuraho is one of the most beautiful temples I have ever seen. I was mesmerized by the beauty, rich culture, heritage, and spirituality of the Indian Ethos showcased through art here. It was a long weekend of 5 days of holiday (which is quite rare), and I was constantly bugging my husband to go someplace. After multiple yes/nos and a lot of research about where to go, we finalized Khajuraho and Panna National Park in Madhya Pradesh. This was after a long time; we traveled via train to Khajuraho.

HOME OF SATGURU SAI BABA – SHIRDI, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA

Sarika

“Chalo Bhulava Aaya Haiiii Baba Ne Bulaya Hai”. As the Indian saying goes “jab tak bhulava nahi aata, tab tak nahi ja sakte” (one can pay visit to the holy place only when god himself has called you, want you to see). Well I didn’t believe much on this saying and always felt it is you who decide weather you want to go or not. But now i think, i kind of have some belief on this saying. So the story goes like this. It was early this year when we all went (me, my son, parents, sister, aunt and driver) … Continue reading HOME OF SATGURU SAI BABA – SHIRDI, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA

PEACOCKS AND LOTUS – YEOLA, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA

Sarika

It’s my sister’s wedding. And the most important rather exciting work is to do shopping. So we all decided to go to Yeola to purchase traditional maharashtrian saree – “Paithani”. The saree is made with very fine thread with Peacock design at the Border and Pallu. But now a days Lotus is also being made instead of Peacocks for variety. The saree looks really elegant when worn. Yeola is the only city in the State of Maharashta for purchasing traditional Paithani at a whole sale rate. So it is only advisable to go there if one wants to buy sarees … Continue reading PEACOCKS AND LOTUS – YEOLA, MAHARASHTRA, INDIA

Hakone, is known for its scenic beauty for all the four seasons of the year. One could travel to this place any time around the year due to its pleasant weather throughout.

JEWEL IN THE CROWN – JUNGFRAUJOCH, SWITZERLAND

Sarika

Experiencing Jhugfraujoch is the highlight of any trip to Switzerland. This is a different world altogether. The view from here nearly takes a breath away – glaciers all around snow crunches under the feet, icy air across your face and chilling wind with little drizzle on your body. One can only understand what I am trying to say, is by visiting this heaven. I got an opportunity to visit this wonderful place when I was studying. Never thought in my dreams, that I would ever go to this place so early in my life and that too my first travel … Continue reading JEWEL IN THE CROWN – JUNGFRAUJOCH, SWITZERLAND

Interlaken known for its better connectivity to various regions is situated at the edge of 3 region Jungfrau, Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. The view from this place is spectacular especially during good weather. We all friends, while in Switzerland on a study tour back in 2007, went here to do the famous adventure sport – paragliding. But that day to our dismay the weather condition was not suitable to do so. It was little drizzling that day which resulted in all the activities to be called off. I was very disappointed for not being able to do. The rest … Continue reading IN BETWEEN THE LAKES – INTERLAKEN, SWITZERLAND

THE LAND OF SMILES – THAILAND

Sarika

Kingdom of Thailand as it is officially known, is a magnet for the travelers around the world. Bangkok, Pattya, Phuket and Koh Samui are among the 4 most visited/preferred cities/island in the country. I visited two very different from each other cities – Pattaya and Bangkok. PATTYA The first thing which comes in the mind when we hear Pattaya city is “it’s a men’s destination (especially in India)”, due to its large sex tourism industry. Although it does have many family friendly attraction and activities. So when I got an opportunity to travel to this city, I was very excited and  really wanted to … Continue reading THE LAND OF SMILES – THAILAND

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.
