Tokyo: 4 Day Itinerary
I spent about 4 days in Tokyo and had a great time. I was told that 4 days in Tokyo is too much time, but honestly, I thought that it was perfect to visit the city and places around it. In fact, it would have been great to have a couple of more days to do a few day trips.
Naples: Weekend Itinerary
Here is my plan for a weekend in southern Italy, which includes a little bit of history, some nature and lots of food. I would be spending time in Pompeii, Sorrento, which is on the Amalfi coast and a just a few hours in Naples city primarily to try the food.
Beijing: Four Day Itinerary
I have only four days to spare for my China visit and I have decided to spend them all in Beijing. ‘Visit the Great Wall of China’ has been on the bucket list for far too long and its time I tick this item off the bucketlist. This is what my four day itinerary to Beijing looks like…
Zanzibar: Costs and Budget
We spent one week in Zanzibar - we soaked in some sun...I did a couple of dives and Ankur slurped on many cocktails. We also did a lot of fun activities together like visiting running behind butterflies, photographing monkeys and swimming with dolphins. For those who are planning a fun filled vacation to this African gem, with plenty of sun and surf, here is what our expense sheet looked like….
Russia: One Week Itinerary
Russia, the largest country in the world has been on my bucketlist for the longest time. This is where the first 'women only' tour of Ticking the Bucketlist is headed. We are off tomorrow and would be spending one week in this enchanting land!
Here is what our 'one week in Russia' itinerary looks like...
South Vietnam (Saigon) – Four Day Itinerary
Saigon, also known as Ho Chi Minh City, is the biggest city in Vietnam. Obviously, there is a lot of activity... scooters whiz past, vendors sell fresh fruits, locals sip on coffee... all in the wake of modern day construction.
I spent three days in Saigon, which were enough to get a feel of the place and see the main attractions. Here is my four day itinerary...
Bhutan: Six Days Itinerary
The little land locked nation of Bhutan has sights that will soothe your eyes and calm your mind. If there is peace and quiet that you seek, Bhutan should make its way on your bucketlist. During spring, flowers bloom and make your spirit come alive; in monsoons, lush, green rice fields soothe your eyes and mind; in winter, the skies are blue and the white Himalayan peaks cast a spell on you. Bhutan is beautiful, regardless of the season.
One month in South America
////
The year started with an exotic destination - Myanmar...the land of pagodas. And hence, I have decided to end the year with an equally exotic destination - South America. Later in November, I am off to South America for a month. I am super excited...its been on the bucketlist for far too long! I would be visiting four countries - Galapagos (Ecuador), Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. Here is a snapshot of what my plan looks like...
Zanzibar: One Week Itinerary
If you are a beach lover and haven’t been to Zanzibar as yet, trust me, you are missing something in life. If you are wondering where Zanzibar is…this archipelago is just off the Tanzanian coast and comprises of many small and two large islands - Unguja and Pemba. The islands are surrounded by azure waters, teeming with sea life. Zanzibar was the hub of spice and slave trade, that have resulted in its unique culture - a mix of Indian, Arabic and European.
Vienna in Two Days
Most travellers bundle up Vienna, Prague and Budapest together in one trip. Some others, like us, land in Vienna, explore the city and then move on to further explore Austria. Whether you are exploring the capital cities of Europe or are spending more time in Austria, you will possibly end up spending two days in Vienna, which are enough to only get a glimpse of this city. There is so much to explore here - museums, palaces, music and opera, parks, shopping arena and of course, food. If you want to truly experience it all, you will need much more time than just a couple of days.
Hallstatt: Mini Guide
The minute we saw pictures of Hallstatt, this little town made its way to our bucketlist. Needless to say, our trip to Austria just had to include Hallstatt! The town is so pretty that the Chinese have recreated the place in China... and a lot of Chinese come to Hallstatt to see the 'real deal'!
Austria: Ten Days Itinerary
////
We are back with a plan to revive our souls and heal our spirits in the Austrian countryside. We are off to Austria next month for a ten day long road trip. Here is what our itinerary looks like:
Myanmar: One Week Itinerary
With an area of over 675,000 square kilometers, one week does not do justice to a country as large as Myanmar. The country has mountains to hike, lakes to sail, ancient temples to explore, beaches to sunbathe and over a hundred ethnic tribes to speak with! I would have loved to spend at least two weeks soaking in the warmth of this country. However, with the limited travel time that I have, one week is all that I can spend in this exotic land.
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.
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.
