Taj Usha Kiran Palace is a heritage property of the Taj group, located just beside the Jai Villas Palace. The palace offers three dining options – Silver Saloon, Bada Bar and The Courts. I went here with my family to attend the special Holi brunch buffet that had an exciting range of menu. The restaurant offers a mix of cuisines like Indian, Continental and Asian, which will definitely hit your taste buds.

Last month my friend @sketchesintravel visited Delhi and asked me to show him few interesting places around the city. So, I decided to take him around a short heritage walk through the lanes of Delhi. We started the day early as we had to cover 8 spots which included two food stops. I was meeting everyone at INA metro station which was midway and then, I was to take up the responsibility of driving everyone around for the day from there.

Kalimpong, is a quaint town with colonial style architecture, hanging on the ridge over the Teesta River is a breath of fresh air.
