Experiencing the Heart of India

By

Hey there. I don’t know where to start. India has opened my eyes to a whole new culture I have never before seen. I’ve been born and brought up in Auckland, New Zealand, and often visit my home city Pune. However, this time, my relatives and I decided to visit the heart of Madhya Pradesh to get a historically and culturally rich experience. After having an initial debate on which places to go to, we came to the official conclusion of touring Khajuraho, Orchha and Gwalior.

Solo Travel, Himachal Tribal Circuit – Kinnaur Valley

By

After crossing Simla and its suburbs, the lush green mountains and apple orchards in the valleys were a treat for the eyes. We had a small stop over at Theog. Rain drenched Theog looked all the more beautiful during sunset. I had never been beyond Theog before, so I had a fascinating image of Narkanda, a winter sport hill station of Himachal Pradesh, in my mind. But frankly, seeing Narkanda for the first time was an anti-climax. It is a small non-descript town, with hardly any tourists during the monsoon season. After Narkanda, it was a steep downhill journey with never ending zigzag turns and U-turns.

Delhi -> Jodhpur ->Jaisalmer -> Bikaner Road Review

By

A road trip starting from Delhi to Jodhpur, then over to Jaisalmer and a return back via Bikaner is an amazing experience. It is always advisable to start the journey at the break of dawn to avoid the rush hour. We started around 3:00 AM (did I say break of dawn?) and were in Jaipur by 7.00 AM. The Delhi-Jaipur Highway (NH-8) is under construction for expansion. Be prepared to face a lot of mud & deep craters on the roads. We still managed to go maintain a speed of 60-70 Kmph and sometimes accelerated to about 110 kmph. Good facilities for breakfast and refreshments along the highway provided by Rajasthan Tourism & other privately held outlets make the journey comfortable.

हम जब भी धार्मिक यात्रा पर जाते हैं तो हमारी हमेशा यही कोशिश रहती है की विश्राम स्थल मंदिर के जितना हो सके करीब हो, ताकि अपने प्रवास के दौरान हमारा जितनी बार मन करे उतनी बार हम भगवान् के दर्शन कर पायें, साथ ही साथ मन में यह संतुष्टि भी होती है की हम मंदिर के करीब रह रहे हैं, और हम मंदिर की सारी गतिविधियाँ देख पाते हैं.
