With its carpet greet meadow, deodar forest, and mooing fat cows it is called the ‘mini Switzerland of India’. Khajjiar was once of more religious importance. Today, people flock to enjoy affordable adventure activities. But to be honest, you will...

But to a lot of outsiders, Coorg or Madikeri are often synonyms. Someone may tell you ‘Hey, I am going to Coorg next weekend’. But instead, they are talking about the Madikeri...

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 have been travelling around Vietnam for a while, you know how it's like. There are lush green paddy fields with farmers working with a straw hat on. The heat is of course,...

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...
