India – Let's Go Sightseeing!

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 getsContinue reading “10 Reasons Why We Love The Mountains”

Doors of Rajasthan

So we’ve been wanting to do this for a LONG time but something or the other made us put it off. Finally, the Holi post of Incredible India made us bite the bullet! Isn’t that a treat to the eyes? So, here we go, with our version of ‘Doors of Rajasthan’!! Do you like it?Continue reading “Doors of Rajasthan”

Pali

A Brief Halt at a Unique Indian Temple On our Udaipur to Jodhpur stretch of the Rajasthan road trip, Pali (92 KMS from Ranakpur) turned out to be a spontaneous halt. We had known about a unique temple existing in Pali but when we found it right on the highway, we had to stop. TheContinue reading “Pali”

We made our way toContinue reading “SEEING BENARES IS DIFFERENT FROM EITHER HEARING OR READING ABOUT IT! *”

A Walk On The Rajpath

Winter is a great time to go sightseeing in Delhi. Before winter 2019 begins, we felt we must finish blogging about our winter 2018 sightseeing! To begin, we post about Rajpath today. Ideally, we should come to the most important road in India to see the Republic Day Parade. But, thanks to our apprehension ofContinue reading “A Walk On The Rajpath”

KHAJURAHO – A PHOTO-LOG

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 offer till we made our way there. On our maiden trip,Continue reading “KHAJURAHO – A PHOTO-LOG”
