My culture-vulture avatar is a recent self discovery. Well, not really that recent! Until about five years ago, peeking into culture and traditions wasn’t something that spiked my interest. The motive behind every trip was to see Nature in her glory; and I enjoyed every single one of those trips. Now, after having travelled to many more places, I feel that I would have ‘grown’ a lot more had I taken the effort to witness a...

It is said that there are more temples than houses in Bali. I am not sure whether this is true… but I do know that there are lots and lots and lots of temples in Bali. There are temples for the main Gods, for the smaller deities, for those who protect the town and the fields and many more. Had we been on a two week trip to Bali, I would have spent unending hours, wandering...

For Ankur and me, travel is a mixed bag of budget and luxury destinations. However, for our friends who have toddlers, back packing is a thing of the past. They need to be in a property that has a private beach for the missus to tan herself, water sports for the mister and activities for the toddlers. We think that the activities in Bali will keep the whole family happy… and here are ten reasons for...

Bali is an island paradise. Needless to say, pretty beaches are all around. However where you want to stay can determine the way you perceive the island. It can be an ocean of quietude, a paradise for sea food lovers or a place to let your hair down and dance through the night. You just need know what you want to do… and thus where you want to stay. We spent the first couple of...

Coffee tasting in Ubud was never on our itinerary. While we were in Ubud, our driver insisted that we visit the spice garden and coffee plantation. Hoping that being a local, he would give us wise advice, we went along with the idea and found ourself in a spice and and coffee plantation called Teba Sari about 15 minutes away from the Monkey Forest area. Our driver took our vehicle off the tar road, to...

Ankur and I got married in November 2010. It was a big, fat Indian wedding… to be precise, a North Indian wedding. I wore a pink traditional wedding dress and Ankur came on a chariot with horses. Don’t be surprised! All this is pretty normal in a North Indian wedding. All the wedding pictures are in place…but we never could manage to get a pre-wedding shoot done. We have no pictures that capture our emotions...

What makes the honeymoon trip so special? Of course…you have recently gotten married! Anything besides that? Well, its the way everyone treats you. People go the extra mile to make you feel special and to ensure that life seems like paradise. That is exactly how we felt at Samabe… like royalty walking through paradise! We reached the Samabe reception drenched in sweat. I would blame the Balinese island heat, which was also responsible for making...

I plan for every trip well in advance. I read up the Lonely Planet. I check out Tripadvisor. I surf through numerous blogs. Doing the homework well is my job. Ankur’s job is execution. Well, for this trip, I did nothing. We just got our hotels in place and thought that we should do a day trip to Ubud, just because everyone talks about it. This is all that I knew… and Ankur knew even...
