City of Joy – P’s Expedition to Kaee
Now that I’ve summarized my Kolkata excursion (you can read that here), I’ll write a more detailed account of my days there. The first day, of course, was partly about getting to the city of not just joy, but diversity too. A first-rate weather in Delhi NCR calmed my resfeber (noun. Swedish. The tangled feelings […]

Har Destination Kuch Kehta Hai!
Stealing & modifying the tag line of an Indian multinational paint company, we firmly believe Har Destination Kuch Kehta Hai. Every place that we’ve been to has stood out in one or the other aspect. This has led us to believe that there are no bad destinations; just unfortunate circumstances that ruin a trip. We […]

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 […]

Appreciation Post
When N & I got married, we promised each other we would never stop wondering. We felt it was a coincidence that the words ‘wondering’ & ‘wandering’ were so similar… Over the last eight years, we have explored much of India! We pick up our car & drive away at the drop of the hat. […]

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 […]

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. The […]

Buddham Saranam Gacchami
A half-day excursion to Sarnath “Buddham Saranam Gacchami. Dhammam Saranam Gacchami. Sangham Saranam Gacchami.” (“I go to the Buddha for refuge. I go to the Dhamma for refuge. I go to the Sangha for refuge.”) We have been drawn towards Buddhism for a long time now. As we visited places like Bhutan, Ladakh & Spiti, […]

SEEING BENARES IS DIFFERENT FROM EITHER HEARING OR READING ABOUT IT! *
Varanasi in 36 hours We still prefer referring to Varanasi as Kashi. The word ‘Kashi’ conjures up images of ancient India. After all, didn’t Mark Twain say, “Benares is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend, and looks twice as old as all of them put together.”? We made our way to […]

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 of […]

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, […]

How I want my life to be – being able to hit the road every alternate weekend. And it has happened in the past; so why not cross our fingers for the future too?

… a holiday is not about rest and rejuvenation alone. At different points in time, it is about adventure, luxury, new experiences, new cultures, new food and discovering each other. One such place which gave a new experience was Kishangarh…
