Apples 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. Or you could just bask in the mild summers, or celebrate a white winter here. Club Kunzum recommends [...]
If 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.
Thank 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 [...]
One 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. In spring, it is time for flowers. Summers are just perfect at that altitude. The rains are a delight after that. And then it is time to [...]
The Almond Villa in Srinagar in Kashmir is literally a jewel in the crown.
If 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 [...]
As 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 [...]
These two towns are located in the north Indian Himalayan state of Himachal Pradesh, and are popular for being home to the Dalai Lama and his Tibetan Government in exile. This video will take you through some of the images of the place.
A Baoli was an open tank where drinking water was stored, and was also a place where people congregated to socialise in earlier times. The Agrasen ki Baoli is located off the Hailey Road in Connaught Place in the centre of New Delhi, and is virtually unknown to even the locals. It was apparently built by Maharaja Agrasen. And it [...]
This is a video of images taken at Chandni Chowk, the oldest market in Delhi, and created by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan who also built the Taj Mahal. I would have liked to add more text to it but shall do so in another version.
The following is a kind of a log when you trek to Triund. This the experience of someone like me, who drives all over for his travel writings but rarely treks, so the more seasoned trekkers may keep some smart remarks to themselves: Some related posts before you continue: Triund: Beyond the seventh heaven Going Up Mcleodganj to Galu Devi [...]
Triund happens suddenly. One moment you are puffing up a steep, rocky path with only a mountain wall to your left and a forested valley to the right to be seen. And then, with one last step where the path takes a sharp turn, you are upon a green meadow at 2842.26 metres (9326 ft) above sea level, surrounded by [...]
If 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.
The 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 [...]
If you are up even before dawn in Delhi, you may want to go for a run along the city’s many green belts. Or you could pay a visit to India’s biggest wholesale flower market in Connaught Place, the main commercial and shopping district in the centre of the capital of the country. First question: Why early morning? Because it [...]
