Island of the God’s: Bali, Indonesia

STM

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. I remember back then it was not that famous tourist spot for Indians and was only seen as a couple destination, but in the last 3-4 years it has become one of the favorite destinations for Indians be it couples, family and even corporates – many conferences /outbound meetings are being … Continue reading Island of the God’s: Bali, Indonesia

Beaches, Highlands, Theme Parks: Malaysia

STM

Langkawi | Sabah | Selangor | Genting | Kuala Lumpur | Putrajaya I have been to Malaysia place twice, both officially with the company where I was working. My first trip was more fulfilling and relaxed than my second one. I was able to see and explore more of culture and sightseeing in my first trip. Malaysia is divided into two parts: Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia. And fortunately, I could visit both these parts. And the more I traveled, the more I started loving this place. A few places that I have been: Langkawi/Kedah Also known as Jewel of Kedah, is one of … Continue reading Beaches, Highlands, Theme Parks: Malaysia

Day Trip from Delhi, India

STM

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

Fun and Frolic – Hongkong & Macau

STM

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. We had booked a package for 5N6D in early December from Delhi. It is a best time to visit here, the entire country is in a festive mood. All the buildings, streets, markets, and malls were decorated with lights and Christmas trees. We were mesmerized by tall … Continue reading Fun and Frolic – Hongkong & Macau

Dream Destination: Mauritius

STM

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

Uttrakhand, The Lake District: Nainital, Naukuchaital, Sattal, Bhimtal

STM

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

Adventure Capital of India: Rishikesh

STM

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

Hills, Beaches, Mountain Pass: Gateways from Mumbai

STM

Mahabaleshwar | Matheran | Lonawala | Alibaug | Malshej Ghat When I was in school, I always had some inclination toward official conferences and tours. I always used to think “wow – it’s so much fun in travelling/conferences”. My fantasy soon became a hard reality, and I got to know the fact that all these conferences are super hectic. Luckily I got a chance to roam around during all my conference places in the free time. Mahabaleshwar Mahabaleshwar is a small hill station in the Western Ghats range and is among the popular gateway destinations from Mumbai. The hill station … Continue reading Hills, Beaches, Mountain Pass: Gateways from Mumbai

Agra: City Of Taj Mahal, Uttar Pradesh, India

STM

Agra || Fatehpur- Sikri Agra, the city of the Taj Mahal, is one of the most popular places people visit from all corners of the world. It would not be wrong to say that Agra is a synonym for the Taj Mahal. The city is famous because of this spectacular monument, the Taj Mahal – the 7th Wonder of the World. I have seen this place many times. And I must say it is not on the list of places where I would like to go again and again. A one-time visit is good enough for me. But I end up … Continue reading Agra: City Of Taj Mahal, Uttar Pradesh, India

God’s Own Country – Kerela, India

STM

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
