As you drive into the resort, you cannot help but giving a thumbs up to the landscape and architecture of the [...]
TweetI checked into Banasura Island Retreat in Wayanad in Kerala in the afternoon, least prepared for what awaited. Having driven most day under a blazing sun, I settled into my cottage only to have a wonderland unfold before me. Located on a hill overlooking the Banasura reservoir, a water body created by a dam closed by, the view from my [...]
Tweet They advertise themselves as a hotel on their website but they really are a true homestay. Where your hosts, erstwhile royalty Major Durga Das and Jyoti Jasol, treat you royally.

TweetApples were first grown in India in Thanedar in Himachal Pradesh. And this is the place to go if you want to enjoy the beauty of apple blossoms in spring, or try your hand at apple plucking sometime in August – September.

TweetIf you are in Lahaul Spiti in Himachal Pradesh, a night halt is Kaza is unavoidable. Actually, you should be spending a couple of nights here at least but no matter where you are coming from and where you are going, in most cases you have to stay at Kaza.
TweetThank God for Banjara Camps. If they had not ventured into this beautiful part of Kinnaur, tucked away from much of the world, the travel world would not have known of Sangla. Not only did they break fresh ground here by pitching tent, but continue to be the finest place to stay in Sangla despite a host of me-toos trying [...]
TweetOne of the gems of travel in India is Shoja near Kullu in Himachal Pradesh. And the place to stay there is Banjara Camps. We just love going back there again and again.

Tweet I stayed at Banjara Camps’ Sangla property two years ago and visited the same recently. Did anything change during this period? Yes, they have come up with their 12 room Retreat which is not tented accommodation but a built up structure. There was a flash flood that took away some of the land – including the original bonfire area [...]
TweetWhen my travel consultant booked me at Hotel Whispering Willows for my stay in Leh (located in Ladakh in the Indian Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir), I was a bit disappointed initially. It was located in the village of Shey, the ancient capital of Ladakh before it was shifted to Leh, 15 kilometers before Leh when driving from Delhi. [...]
TweetIf the idea of a surprise visitor in the form of a giant spider under the quilt covers does not bother you, plan a trip to Abbott Mount and stay in Abbott Mount cottage. It is nearly as perfect a get-away as you can imagine, and your experience of staying in this cottage will only leave you desiring for more [...]
TweetAs far as first impressions go, the Wayfarer Resort in Munsiyari in the Himalayan state of Uttrakhand (Uttranchal) flatters – but it does end up deceiving you a bit on the service front. What works for it is its setting: its perfect. The view of the Panchachuli peaks and surrounding mountain ranges leaves you with no option but to keep [...]
TweetIf you are looking to stay in a warm, friendly family run place, the Kunga Guest House located in the Himalayan town of Mcleodganj (where the Dalai Lama runs the Tibetan Government in exile) may be tough to beat. Especially after Hollywood stars too have endorsed it.
TweetThe Easter weekend (March 21-24) of 2008 saw me staying at a small family owned property in Dehradun, the capital of the Himalayan state of Uttrakhand. The city itself located in a valley, it turned out to be an ideal getaway for a spring weekend at what turned out to be an good choice of accommodation. To view images of [...]
