Full-time couple. Part-time Sightseers. Blogging and photography novices. We shoot without people to bring nature & architecture into focus.
To end our Bali blog posts series (see posts 1, 2 & 3), what can be better than to write of the day we spent on a boat, out in the ocean? It’s an experience we highly recommend. When your bones are tired from visiting temple after temple, or from partying too hard, a day… Continue reading A Day on A Boat

Before we headed to Bali, we had a lot of confusion about its geography & location. Was it an island? Was it a part of Indonesia? How big was it? Blame it on ignorance. And, there’s no better antidote for ignorance than travel. Once we’d been there, many contacted us when they were planning their… Continue reading Bali Basics
A few folks reached out to us to know more about the three destinations we recommended in Part I to escape the Indian summer. Glad we could be of help! But, three destinations are inadequate for six months of the intense north Indian summer. So, we bring three more long weekend getaways from Delhi. All… Continue reading Beat The Heat! – 2
Come April & the Sun starts its mercilessness on the hapless souls of the National Capital Region. Right till September, it becomes a matter of hot, very hot & unbearably hot. In these six months, at least one getaway is needed to cooler environs. Jeolikot morning enveloped in mist Aren’t we thankful that the Himalayas… Continue reading Beat the Heat!
Till we've our Betwa... We blogged about Khajuraho in our last post. Khajuraho is still a known name on the tourism circuit. Orchha is the real surprise! We ourselves came to know about Orchha when we were researching for our travel. Chhatris by the Betwa On our maiden trip, we spent a little less than… Continue reading Orchha – A Photo-log
Can't help falling in love...Nandi - the gate-guardian deity of Kailasa Madhya Pradesh must be the most underrated tourist destination in India. The centrally-located state has nature, heritage, & art. Yet, we neither hear much about it nor see family & friends visiting MP. We ourselves were oblivious of all that the state has to… Continue reading KHAJURAHO – A PHOTO-LOG
When we began our research for the Masai Mara National Reserve, we found information to be scattered across the Internet. Climate information at one place, visa at another, what to carry at yet another… We made a mental note then itself that we would list down the useful bits at one place when we got… Continue reading Masai Mara National Reserve – All The Practical Stuff!
For somebody who has grown up watching the nature & wildlife channels on television, the Masai Mara National Reserve was a must-have on the bucket list. Thus, when an ex-colleague, now working in Nairobi, asked us to come over, specially as the migration season was on, we did not have to think twice. It also… Continue reading MASAI MARA TALES
The questions still nagged our minds but we went ahead. & that was a life-changing decision for us…
... our love affair with this online photo service provider. Over the years, Zoomin has made even our ordinary photographs look excellent in print.
2,500 KMS. Nine days. Three travelers. A Toyota Innova. & the Indian West Coast!
It is not just about travel; it is also about the thoughts that rush to me when I travel...
We are struck by the similarity between Bhutan and Scotland.
On curves, we feel we are on our way to Hogwarts. We will turn around the corner & there will be the Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft.
Sigh!
It is on the way to Punakha that the King crosses us on a bicycle, His envoy following him.
While cars stop & hawkers stand up in respect, the King’s simplicity touches us...
It has an idyllic setting; you can see the Sun rise behind the mountains, the village slowly coming to life, unpaved roads, greenery, calm & tranquil… There is nothing not to love.
If there is one place you should cover in Bhutan, it is this.
