To be honest, the town is pretty much the same, but my experience was something like from two different dimensions. On one side, it was a family trip in the summers. And like most hill stations, Kodaikanal sees an insane number of...

If you look it up online, all you will find are photographs to temples and ruins. Gorgeous ruins, but still. I mean, yeah I love history and stuff but how much of ruins can you see? And why are people so excited...

What was known as an obscure ‘offbeat destination in southern India a few years ago has been dramatically changed to one of the must-visit place.

After all, why go all the way up there if you can visit the more popular destinations in Himachal like Shimla and Kasauli. And while Shimla and Kasauli do offer a promise of a colonial-style summer and postcard...

And with all my conviction, I will say I loved Munnar the best. You ask why? Probably because both the time, I visited Munnar during the monsoon and in the second half...

While all of them are gorgeous, I do feel that they have become overcrowded and very touristy. I am not saying that it’s bad, but it sure can feel great to...

And they do real justice to the hype if you choose a good time to go. The best part about Kerala? There are mountains and beaches too! And Varkala is a place where you will get both. Varkala is a...
