Taj Lake Palace, Udaipur, India

This one is all about fan girl memories, Lake Palace was not my first choice for this vacation, a long holiday weekend with sky high airfares is what fated me here. Having stayed in a few other palace turned hotels I did not expect to be awed by this one. One of the most photographed

Mexico

A world of it’s own. Writing this blog with a prayer of thanks to the Universe for giving us such a wonderful world, and to the Almighty for giving me the means and opportunity to explore and experience a small part of it. On a somber note please do your bit for sustainable tourism, don’t

Kashi ? Benares ? Varanasi ?

For a city that’s supposed to be older than history it’s kind of obvious that through time people know it by various names.

Meghalaya

Abode of clouds An Instagram post drew me to this virgin state in India, the video was of a waterfall, pristine and alluring. For a travel addict it’s never known what triggers the need to just pack bags and go. It’s Covid times and everything was so uncertain, never the less I started my research

Palace hotels of India

It’s a fascinating world where there is grandeur, history, romance, intrigue and in the midst of all, whatever happens  the belief “Atithi devo bhava”  which translated means Guest is equivalent to God.
