Gurgaon-Lansdowne Weekend Road Trip

By msupriyo

I will finish the story with few words about the Oak Grove Inn. The hotel is running for past one year and after an initial slow take off it remains full on most of week ends now. The normal rooms are small but very clean. I would recommend the family room as it is huge in size but there is only one available. Next time I go there I will ask for the top floor rooms which have a wide balcony (ideal for playing cards or chatting in a group) in front

Chandraketugarh – a tryst with the mystical ancient history

By tirtha22

When king Chandraketu was ruling the kingdom, a Pir named Gorachand arrived from Arab and tried to convince the king to convert his religion to Islam. During that time, he showed several magical tricks. One of the tricks was that he bloomed Champa flower during off season on the Bera (fence). From that time, the place is called Berachampa.

From desert to greens – The drive back from Leh via Keylong and Manali

By Asif Khan

Almost 350 KMs out of 474 KMs long Leh – Manali Highway, does not have any civilization, although you would find some tented accommodations and tea stalls at every 30 to 40 KM. It is necessary to carry extra fuel because there is no petrol station from Leh till Tandi (around 365 KMs).

शिंगणापुर यात्रा – जहाँ शनि देव विराजते हैं

By Ani D

आपको फिर बताना चाहूंगा की साई आश्रम में दर्शन की बायोमेट्रिक सिस्टम है जो में स्तिथ है और रिसेप्शन से सुविधा मिल जाती है ताकि अगर आपने ऑनलाइन पर्ची नहीं ली तो आप आश्रम में ही बॉयोमीट्रिक्स करवा के शाम या सुबह की मंदिर प्रवेश की पर्ची प्राप्त कर सकते हैं । इससे यह सुविधा मिलती है की आपको फिर मंदिर के गेट १ & २ के सामने लाइन से पर्ची लेने में जो समय लगेगा वह समय बच जायेगा और एक बार प्रसादालय से प्रसाद ज़रूर पाए, यह एक डिवाइन अनुभव होगा ।

Dhanushkodi – No Land only Sand

By Upanshu Singhal

We reached Rameshwaram from Madurai about 3:00 PM, we planned to visit Rameshwaram temple in the morning, so we asked our taxi driver Kannan if there is any beach nearby, he nodded his head and said “Yeeessss” (I liked the way he used to say Yeeessss”), it is 13 kms from here and is called Dhanushkodi.
Well, we reached the beach in about 45 minutes, on the way, we also visited a temple where Lord Rama performed the “Raj Tilak” of Vibhishan. Kannan told us that this is the beach, it was very deserted. We found an Indian Navy post there, a tea stall and a snack shop. The Indian Ocean was beautiful, roaring and with high waves. We dared not go too deep inside and also asked the kids to stay off.

शिरडी , जहाँ साई बसते हैं

By Ani D

आपको बता दूँ की ऑनलाइन पर्ची वालों के लिए गेट नंबर ३ या शनि गेट से एंट्री होती है जलपान होने के बाद हमने मंदिर संसथान के सामने ऑटो करने का फैसला किया पर सामने तांगेवाले को देख के मन ललचा गया और बुक करके मंदिर की और चल पड़े, मंदिर संसथान से १ किमी दूर है और १००० मीटर आपको पैदल चलना होगा रस्ते में दुकान वाले आपको चादर और प्रसादी के लिए बोलेंगे पर आप सिर्फ चादर और गुलाब का फूल लीजियेगा क्योंकि बाबा को प्रसाद बाहर का नहीं चढ़ता सिर्फ फूल और चादर चढ़ती है,

A Visit to Lavasa, Pune

By Rups

There is not much to do at Lavasa except walking along the waterfront promenade, the prime attraction, which is very well maintained and clean. It was about 10mins walk from our hotel, Mercure. It also offers various options for dining at restaurants serving delicacies from different countries like American, Australian, Lebanese, Singaporean, Chinese along with Pizzas, Ice-creams and Indian street foods like Chats & Tikkas. Some of these are overpriced. It is recommended to have meals at the hotel; however, one can try these restaurants for one meal.

We had our dinner at American Diner, which was obviously a costly affair. The place had on offer, a 5 course dinner for a couple (Valentine’s eve) at a discounted price of Rs. 1000/- (we did not opt for it). The restaurant serves imported drinks. We tried a Vodka brand called Pinky (this is the first time, we heard about this brand). It was ok.

Delhi to Lucknow in 5 hours via YEW and Agra Lucknow Expressway

By Shishir Kumar

It was a pleasure driving on this road. I counted 57 vehicles while going towards Lucknow on this expressway which means a lot of people are still unaware of it. I tried to maintain a consistent speed of 120 kmph on this road, but to my surprise I found I was driving at 130-135 kmph. There is very little noise while driving on this road. I encountered total 4 small diversions (diversion means when you have to drive on the wrong side of the expressway).
