Seychelles : One Week Itinerary

We are off to Seychelles in mid November... and we can't wait to hit the azure blue waters and the emerald green hills. We have been figuring out what to do during the week... browsing the net, reading books and magazines and speaking to those who have already been there. Options are plenty, ranging from doing nothing on the sunbed to diving and hiking. Obviously, Ankur wants to do the former and I want to do the latter. With quite some effort, we have finally come up with an itinerary that makes both of us smile.

Lake Nakuru Lodge: Review

Lake Nakuru Lodge is inside the national park, on a small hill, overlooking the Nakuru Lake. It is this lake that attracts thousands of flamingos. The waters of the lake look like strawberry milkshake when flocks of flamingos arrive. If you are lucky to get a lake facing room, the early morning views are enchanting. Though the lake is too far to spot the flamingos, the landscape is breathtaking. The soft sunlight dances over the lake and this 'ballet' is a delight to watch while sipping coffee from the sit out of your room.

Hilton Shillim: Review

For Mumbaikars and Puneris who want a quick break, Hilton Shillim is perfectly located. It's a 2.5 hour long drive from either of these cities.The closest railhead is Lonavala. It takes about 1 hour to get to the property from Lonavala town. Its is best to have your own wheels to get here. The drive is beautiful and you will want to stop umpteen number of times to click the landscape.

Greece: 10 Day Itinerary

We spent ten days in Greece - between Athens and island hopping and enjoyed every single day! However, planning a trip to Greece can be stressful because of the sheer number of islands that the country has to offer...and I am not even talking about the bountiful mainland as yet! So, for those who need some ideas to start planning their Greek sojourn, here is the itinerary that we followed after doing quite a bit of research.

Fakasel Horse Park

This post is long overdue. I wanted to understand a little more about the stars (people and horses) behind the show, and thus, its has taken much longer than expected. Sooner, the better...so that you can add this attraction to your itinerary. We are sure you would enjoy and evening at the Fakasel Horse Park. Thumbs up from our side!

Janamashtmi – Dahi Handi and Human Pyramids: Photoblog

Janamashtmi marks the day when Lord Krishna was born and is celebrated with great fervour across India. The next day after Janamashtmi, the Western part of the country celebrates Dahi Handi. Earthen pots full of butter milk and butter, that are dear to baby Krishna, are hung at a height of over 10 meters. Youngsters form pyramids and try to reach the earthen pot, smash it and stake claim to a bumper prize.

Favourite Sunsets

I can walk for miles, drive atop a cliff, take a boat to a lonely island, all for the want of enjoying the sunset. I don’t know why, but they truly fascinate me, each one being different from the other. I have gasped at the colours, across the world, watching shades of red, orange and grey in the sky. Throw in some bubbly and a cheese platter and I would pray for time to stand still.
