Travelling in HongKong is a unique experience as it combines the best characteristics of the Eastern and Western culture.It is a cosmopolitan city where you can find both greeneries and shopping centers,ancient temples as well as high raise buildings that can compete with the best of the world.

Hongkong is a travel friendly country.You don’t require any visa if your stay is below 15 days in HongKong.Whole of the Hongkong has been covered by MTR [Mass Transit Railway] which is the rapid transit railway system.Buy Octopus cards [similar to debit cards] in Hongkong Airport which can be used in these MTR’s.Travelling in this MTR’s is an awesome experience.They are the super fast cool trains I have ever seen!!.

In the continuation of my last post “Scenic Spots on the way to Divine Yatra YAMNOTRI”. Next day morning we got up at 5 AM to get ready for the trekking of Yamnotri which is about 6 Km. from Jannki Chatti. It was still raining since last night so we were in the dilemma to go or not as our kids were also there with us. We decided to get ready and if rain stops we all would go other wise my Brother-in-law& I will leave. As it was quite difficult to go till Yamnotri temple when it was raining. By the time we got ready around 6 AM, my sister came to our room & informed that it stopped raining. We all felt happy as we were thinking that reaching so close to our destination we all won’t be able to have the Darshan of Maa Yamnotri but by Maa’s grace our wish was fulfilled & we all proceeded towards Yamnotri at 6.30 AM.

Instead of writing directly about my recent trip to Yamnotri & Gangotri I realized that I should give some brief description about the holy state Dev Bhoomi – Uttrakhand so that all the readers can be benefited by enhancing their knowledge to know about this place & I expect the same from the others who already have the information about this Holy state.

Uttrakhand – The abode of God (Dev Bhoomi) became the 27th state of India on Nov. 9th, 2000. Uttrakhand name is derived from Sanskrit word uttara (North) & Khand (part of country). It borders TIBET on North, NEPAL on East , UTTAR PRADESH on south , HARYANA on west & HIMACHAL PRADESH on North-West.

This April we went to Singapore. It was a 5 day trip which also included the cruise to Malaysia. We took the Jet airways flight from Delhi. This is a flight from Delhi to Australia with a halt at Singapore. The total duration of the flight from Delhi to Singapore was 5 hours 20 min.We boarded the plane at 9 in morning  from Delhi and by 5 in the evening we reached Singapore. The Changi airport was awesome. The huge airport with around 50 belts handles a large amount of traffic.When we reached Singapore, it was raining heavily. We took the cab and went to the Grand Central Hotel, near Orchid road. We had a booking in the hotel. We rested at the hotel for sometime and then started the journey to explore Singapore.

The first place we visited was Orchid Road. There are many money-exchangers around this place.  After this we headed towards the Food Republic, a mall on the Orchid Road. We had pratas here at the Indian cuisine. After this we went for coffee at Starbucks.
