My mom is usually sceptical about driving on foreign lands. She prefers a chauffeur-driven vehicle to a self-driven one. However, this time, while planning my trip, when I asked her, she agreed on taking a Zoomcar. Surprising right! We were at Bhubaneswar to attend my friend’s wedding, another one indeed! Therefore, we decided to extend our visit for four more days to explore nearby cities.
It was in the year 2016 when I first came across Lansdowne in a travel magazine, a pristine hill station in the Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand. Named after Lord Lansdowne, one of the viceroys of British India, it now serves as the residence of the Garhwal regiment.
Over the years, Lansdowne has become a popular destination amongst tourists because of its picturesque beauty and tranquil atmosphere. People visit this city to relax and detox their minds and souls. Moreover, due to its proximity to Delhi, it also serves as an ideal weekend getaway destination.
As a college student, touring factories has always been a thrilling experience for me. It makes us mindful of the products we use daily by teaching us about the process, the hard work, and the technology that goes into its production. Therefore, while on my road trip to Ooty and Mysore, I visited the Dodabetta Tea Factory, the highest-elevation tea factory in South India.
Ooty is a city tucked in the Blue Mountains of the Indian state, Tamil Nadu. This hill station is crowned as the ‘Queen of Hill Stations’, is a great choice for an ideal southern getaway. What makes this place more attractive is its pleasant weather and the scenic beauty. Amidst the eucalyptus and pine forest, resides a city that gives that awaits exploration. From highest peak to the prettiest lakes, let us dig into the city’s core to experience Ooty to the fullest.
The best thing about being on road is that you get to explore beyond the set itinerary. Pykara is one such place that we explored on our journey to Mysore from Ooty. This came as a pleasant surprise from our driver to us and to be honest, this place was an epitome of beauty.
Some places make you feel happy, some refreshed, whereas Barot makes you feel content. Who knew that a random plan would turn out to be so amazing and the credit solely goes to Barot. A small valley hidden in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh. The town is beautiful, colourful and pristine. It is one of the untouched places in Himachal and so you get to see and feel the true beauty of the mountains.
Chail is a beautiful hill station located at the foothills of the Himalayan range. This place was built as the Summer Capital by Maharaja of Patiala, Bhupinder Singh after his exile from Shimla. The place is just 44 km away from Shimla and 31 km away from Kufri was the perfect detour on our Kufri excursion.
My mom usually prefers going on group tours, but last year I took mom to her first solo adventure trip to Shimla. It was a 4-days and 3-nights tour that we had booked from Travel Triangle.
There are always two sides of every Jim Corbett trip. Either you see a tiger or you don’t. Most of the blogs that I read claim to see one, but what happens when you don’t see a tiger? This was my question when I came back to Delhi with a half-done adventure! Here is a list of few things that I felt after visiting Jim Corbett National Park that may prepare you for your trip without feeling disappointed.
Monsoon is never the best time to visit the hills of Northeast India because monsoon brings continuous rain and clouds all over the region. However, this also brings out the true colours of the mountains and you will find yourself surrounded by fewer tourists.
