We started our Journey from Delhi. Trip was with Parents and hence the it was to relax and get away from the Delhi pollution and a take short break in November 2017 Parmarth Niketan I decided to stay at Parmarth Niketan, probably the best place in Rishikesh with the most enchanting Ganga aarti. Ghats are so clean and water is cold. Food is not that expensive. We tried the food at the famous "Chooti wala" and it was decent. Route Roads from Delhi to Rishikesh are not that great. And it being so smogy , it took us almost 7 hours to reach Rishikesh. While coming back, it was even worse. Meerut to Delhi was jam packed and took almost 4 hours. Neelkanth Temple On the first day we went to the very famous Neelkanth temple. It is around 1 hours drive from Parmarth. Temple is situated at a higher altitude then Rishikesh and it gets cold there. It's famous as the place where Lord Shiv drank the poison. Parmarth Niketan Basic Canteen. View from the Ganga Ro...

We went on a three day trip to Jim corbett in March. 10th March to 12th March. It was just me and my wife and daughter was with her Grand parents. I booked the Tiger Camp for our trip as it had excellent reviews and also got a great deal. Day 1: Leaving Noida and reaching Tiger Camp The Trip from Noida to Jim Corbett was relatively smooth. Taking NH9 , Moradabad Bypass and left turn before Rampur. After that road is hit and miss till Kashipur. After Kashipur you enter Uttarakhand  and road is great again. On reaching the Hotel, we witnessed Kosi river and it looked majestic. This view is from hotel. Day 2. On the second day we took the safari to Dhela zone. It was a bit far and also was a rainy day. But fortunately we were the early morning group and did see some animals and lot's of birds. We witnessed Samba Deer. Day 3:  Left the last day for relaxing and bird watching. Also visited the famous mata ka mandir.  The nights at Tiger camp ...

First Step Hotel Booking We were four adults me , my wife and parents. Ideally looking for a family room. I tried looking for hotels in Kasauli just a few days before my travel as it was planned at last minute. Luckily i found a room available for a family of four in Bird's View . I directly called and booked a Premier cottage for four on Ground floor, right next to reception. Raja is one man army. Had to follow up a bit to get the room confirmation done but that was fine, as i think i got a better deal compared to booking online. Journey - Delhi to Kasauli We started from Delhi on 3rd morning 6:00am and planned to reach Kasauli by 12. But that was not to be. We reched Parwanoo around 11:30 and after that we got a traffic. Finally we reached Kasauli around 1:30pm Day 1 Kasauli Check-in at hotel was smooth and we were quickly shown are room which was a double bed set. It was more like a Studio with an attached Room. But it was spacious none the less. The b...

UDAIPUR Diaries------ For quite some time now Udaipur was on my wishlist of cities I wanted to visit. It was actually right up there at the top of my wishlist. So i decided to go in August . It was a lucky chance that no other destination seemed viable in this monsoon weather and i narrowed down on Udaipur. For hotel i did lot or research and finally decided on  Trident. I got a good deal with Third night at 50% rate and total for 3 days came at 20K. That was decent for a 5 star property. I took a train from Delhi , that was Marwar express and it reached Udaipur in morning around 7am. I called the hotel from station and requested for early check-in. They obliged and as soon as i reached hotel i got a room. More on that and hotel review at hotel review link given below Link to my review - Tripadvisor review Trident I hadn't made a day to day plan before reaching Udaipur, but i had in my mind my must see things. Like the Udaivillas, Lak Pichola, Citi Palace, shopping a...
