TweetMount Abu in Rajasthan may not qualify as a cool hill station for those used to the imposing Himalayas or the diverse Western Ghats, but it merits a place in the honours list nonetheless. Mount Abu may be a little infamous for attracting weekend tourists looking for a drink from nearby Gujarat, the only state where prohibition continues till date. [...]
TweetThis is a classic case of operation successful, patient dead. The Tughlaqabad Fort, the citadel of the 3rd city of Delhi, is the most imposing of all in the city – and yet it fell upon bad times even before it saw any better.
TweetWould you ride in an open Gypsy in temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius? With the sun threatening to burn everything in sight, and the desert sand piercing your skin like countless needles? You would, if you were on the trail of the tiger in the Ranthambhore National Park in Rajasthan. One of the few forests in India where tigers still [...]
TweetBelieve it or not: There is a village in Rajasthan called Bera, surrounded by forests where leopards roam free. Along it flows the river Jawai, with the Jawai Dam built on it. And the resulting beautiful lake is home to some of the biggest crocodiles you will ever see. These are not a part of any National Park or sanctuary; [...]
Tweet The wonders around Qutab Minar (itself a wonder) never cease. Take the case of the Iron Pillar located in the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque compound.
TweetYou go to Jodhpur to savour the famed mirchi vada. It does not get better than this. And, in between mouthfuls, treat yourself to all else that is wonderful in this city.

TweetPisa in Italy has its Leaning Tower, Paris its Eiffel Tower and Delhi its Qutab Minar – the branding of these cities are all linked to their most famous landmarks. But none have as much history and intrigue as Delhi’s minaret.
TweetThis is a city that has always lived in a fort – and continues to do so even today. The fort may be the main attraction, but Jaisalmer has much more to offer on its platter. [The Kunzum Travel List is a compilation of great holiday ideas and available as an e-book, and in paperback by December 2011. To read [...]
Tweet Think of camel fairs, and chances are you will head to Pushkar in Rajasthan. But hold on to your horses (or camels) for a moment – consider Bikaner, with its smaller yet far more enchanting version. And that is only one of the reasons why you need to be in this desert city. [The Kunzum Travel List is a [...]
TweetWhy would you bury a man (by himself) alive in the foundations of a fort or within one of the turrets (on horseback) if he had done nothing wrong to deserve the fate? It was considered auspicious and guaranteed invincibility to the fort, or so go the legends. If true, it seemed to have worked for the Junagarh Fort in [...]
TweetOnce you get hooked to the idea of journeys on India’s mountain railways, you want to do them all. Passengers are packed tight in the coaches, giving you a feeling of being in oversized toy trains. But they sure do pack a punch, considering the steep terrains they haul themselves up on. [The Kunzum Travel List is a compilation of [...]
Tweet After the successful meeting of the book club, BookWag, on December 17, we are meeting again on December 24 as per the following details:
TweetWheeeee! I am on a toy train ride. Starting from Ooty or Ootacamund, now officially renamed Udagamandalam, going downhill all the way to Mettuppalayam in Tamil Nadu. And it figures in UNESCO’s World Heritage List. The train passes through some picturesque tea estates, the Nilgiris mountains, villages and towns with some retaining their old world charm – and skies with [...]

TweetThere is something royal about Srinagar. You can feel it in the air. And why not? If the Mughal emperors could make the long arduous journey centuries back to Srinagar for their pleasures, they must have had good reason to. In many ways, the city has lost a lot in the over two decades of political disturbances. Fortunately though, it [...]

TweetIf you have ever been to Pahalgam, the vivid imagery of driving the winding roads along the Lidder river with towering peaks in the background will always stay with you. And when these are accentuated with a light drizzle, dusky skies and misty columns on mountain tops, happiness is the only sentiment you will feel. [The Kunzum Travel List is [...]
