  • Travel Attitude!

    We often get asked about how we manage to travel so much. TBH, we don’t think it’s ‘much’; we would love to travel at least twice as much as we do now. But, returning to the point, we realise we cannot give ‘tips’ for we are not experts. What we can do is share our…

  • Eat, Stay, Love – In Dehradun!

    We would have crossed Dehradun countless times, thanks to it being a gateway to the hill stations of Garhwal. It’s only over the past few years that we began to see Doon as its own destination. It is fondly called Doon. Over time, we realized that this capital of Uttarakhand is an idyllic weekend destination.…

  • August Trails in Jabarkhet Nature Reserve

    When we planned our Landour trip, the name ‘Jabarkhet Nature Reserve’ kept popping up. But we’d only one day in Landour & weaning ourselves away from this serene town seemed impossible. Someone advised us to visit the Jabarkhet Reserve before we started for Delhi NCR. We’re glad we got this counsel & that we took…

  • Landour – A Scenic Town in Garhwal

    It felt like craziness but we’d to do it! So, March 2020. The world was locking down in a frenzy. We knew India would shut down anytime. The threat of COVID was rife, but we knew we’d to make the most of a long weekend. A last long weekend for a long time to come……

  • Can’t Get Enough…

    We travelled across the region of Bundelkhand, Seeing the remnants of history. Laxmibai’s Jhansi was the first stop, Despite her defeat, we only saw her victory. Orchha beckoned next, With its fort, rivers, cenotaphs & palaces. We wandered around the tiny town awestruck, Till our feet developed calluses. Orchha told us about Chhatrasaal, The ruler…

  • दिल का आंगन

    दिल के मकान में एक आंगन है। वो आंगन मैंने मैहर के नाम कर दिया। अरे! मैहर तो छोटी जगह है। इतना बड़ा आंगन क्यों दे दिया? एक छोटा सा कमरा काफ़ी था। मैं हँस पड़ी। मैहर का खुला, नीला आसमान, ये गेहूं और सरसों के खेत वो कमल के अंगिनत झील मैहर की त्रिकूटा…

  • What We Like About…

    It may still be a bad time to talk about travel as India has emerged from the second COVID-19 wave only two months’ back. However, there is a post idea that has been on our minds for weeks now & we felt this would be the perfect time to write it down. So, we have…

  • Please Do Not Judge!

    When the second COVID wave hit, we saw multiple posts on social media admonishing travel bloggers (& other kinds of influencers) for blogging & posting while the country was going through a catastrophe. The blogging/ influencing/ vlogging community was called ‘heartless’ & ‘selfish’. Now, we are not influencers by any stretch of imagination, nor do…

  • Strawberry Overdose

    A Couple of Days in Mahabaleshwar It was the summer of 2019. We had to visit Mumbai for a family obligation. But a long weekend lay just a few days later. We packed our bags for a week-long trip with a couple of days thrown in for sightseeing around Mumbai. Now, it was May. Most…

  • 10 Reasons Why We Love The Mountains

    Thanks to the lousy day we had yesterday, we have been trying to escape mentally to the mountains. If you know us, we feel ourselves at home in the mountains. 2021 has been difficult for all of us but we have managed to cope on most of the days. However, occasionally, like yesterday, it gets…

  • You’ll Be Missed

    We have always been proud of being unattached to material possessions. It is not that we do not value our belongings, but we do not attach undue importance to at least 90% of our possessions. We thus usually do not get heartbroken if something breaks/ tears occasionally. Or even while decluttering – we are happy…

    Winter is a great time to go sightseeing in Delhi. Before winter 2020 begins, we felt we must finish blogging about our winter 2019 sightseeing! We post about Lodi Garden today.
