The regal state has it all that takes to be the centre of India- be it the rich history, culture, tradition or art. The intricate carvings on majestic monuments are exceptionally famous among travellers from all over the world. After travelling solo across the Rajasthan mesmerised by its forts, culture, food and desert, here comes the untold stories from heart of India and their spectacular destinations, culture, and everything else.  There are few places in the world which is spiritual as well as a masterpiece. Khajurao built in 970 CE by Chandela. Now its a UNESCO world heritage site. It was then when all those class 8th history lessons about Khajuraho and its temples came to my mind. With a blink of an eye, I found myself booking a train ticket to Khajuraho. Khajuraho takes its name from ‘Khajur’ or as we call it Date Palm in English. The presence of date tress gifted the ci

KASHMIR: A MELODY CALLED HEAVEN ON EARTH

Image
  “Kashmir is the delicate reminder of the fact that poetry not always needs pages and words. The living poetry can be felt through heartbeats and emotions.”   My bag, my heart, a mixed bag of emotions with New Year round the corner was excited to begin a journey. I was headed to what they called ‘Heaven on Earth’ - Kashmir , little did I knew that I was in for eight days of sheer adventure with 23 odd people and memories that will give a rise to the concept of FOMO within me. So let me tell a story, rather a stories or better call it as a chapter from which I will say as one of the most memorable trip because at this place not only I left a piece my heart like other places visited but also a part of my soul was also left there. Trip started on a HAPPY note with meeting some known and a lot more unknown persons who were simple, adorable, awesome, creative, sassy, rowdy, kinky (:P), vital, ageless :D who became travel mates to friends and a part of life in the next eight days.

A Vibrant Affair with The Majestic Blue City

Jodhpur- The Blue City of India Let's hear the story of yet another vibrant city of Rajasthan and roam into its streets & culture simultaneously. Rajasthan always attracts me by its colourful landscape, cultural heritage and its royal charm. This time I decided to visit Jodhpur and tick every attraction there. Jodhpur is a magical city that can feed your wanderlust beyond your imagination and make you a wanderer of sorts. Jodhpur can cast a spell on you, so intense that you are bound to explore the city with a fervour that may have been unknown to you. First love of the destination wedding enthusiasts, Jodhpur is a regal beauty which exudes royalty from every corner. Anciently architectured houses on narrow roads are a definite treat to eyes. If a trip is planned to Rajasthan, this blue city is a must halt. Founded by Rao Jodha, chief of the dominant clan, in the early 15th century, the city is now widely known for historical Mehrangarh fort, blue houses, colourful atti

MUSSORIE: MORE THAN A WEEKEND GETAWAY

Image
Mussorie-The Queen of Hills, generally considered as a weekend getaway, is a story that has more pages than people know. It has been my first travel after the lockdown crisis and it has been so great to feel the cold breeze while riding the bike with valleys, slopy and serene roads up the hill closing the mountains.   Sometimes it's better to enjoy one's own company, one's own thoughts, one's own mood, one's own choice of food, one's own feelings with thousand other meanings flying above this vast blue sky, across this huge mountains reaching to someone somewhere unknown of happenings...!!   This was the exact thought going in my mind when I set for this trip. Moreover, I was dicey about travelling due to quarantine rules but it was a rough patch of not travelling more than for 8 months now. So I booked my bunk bed in Zostel and set to Mussoorie, and something fantastic happened there that has strengthened my belief in the concept of ‘serendipity’.   The ‘
