TRAVEL GONE WRONG: WHEN I WAS STRANDED IN PITCH DARK IN RURAL INDIA!

My stay at the wild ass sanctuary was nothing less than a misadventure. I didn’t know that my troubles were far from being over. I stood blankly on the crossroads in the dusty village for half an hour to find a suitable vehicle to reach Sanand, from where I would reach the Nal Sarovar sanctuary.…

Aamod Bhimtal is where you should stay not only if birdwatching is your focus but for regular vacation as well. That said, it is one of the best places to stay in Bhimtal for birders. I have been to Nainital also but honestly I found Bhimtal and Sattal much more pleasant. It's much more secluded, with little human construction and is hardly commercialized. Despite being a weekend, Bhimtal is not crowded like it's more famous cousins. At pristine places like these, properties in the league of Aamod Bhimtal offer city dwellers quick escape from the realities of their daily grind. But what it also offers to the avid birdwatchers is lifetime memories of flirting with nature and the avian species. I am impressed with the sheer number of birdwatchers and wildlife photographers here. They have come from as far as Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi in India and even other countries. No wonder Bhimtal and Sattal are called a paradise for birdwatchers. I got many rewarding shots within the property and some secret places just 10 minutes away from Aamod Bhimtal. I saw many of these species for the first time. I will be sharing the shots of colorful avian species in coming days. The view from my #SoulWindow has exceeded my expectations.

NEW BLOG Art in Paradise is first 3D Art museum of #Bangkok. It rekindles the childlike joy we have long distanced ourselves from. Great fun for kids & adults alike. Come, live your fantasies at this offbeat place! Don't forget to read my captions for each pic inside. We all have our fantasies as children. As we grow up, reality takes over and we lose the romance of imagination. The 3D art museum in Bangkok rekindles the childlike joy we have long distanced ourselves from. Did you fantasise about getting up, close and personal with dangerous wild animals? Did you ever want to fly sitting atop the mythical flying carpet? Or at least walk on a tightrope with thousands of feet of sheer drop? No, you can not do all this in the 3D art museum of Bangkok but you can pretend for sure in complete safety. ________________________________________________ The view from my #SoulWindow is super fun! ________________________________________________ Pls check link in bio- -https://goo.gl/S9niKw ________________________________________________ With @tatnewdelhi #TatDelhi #TAT #AmazingThailand #Bangkok #Pattaya #ArtInParadise

Recently I have completed 10 years of my independent travelling across India and beyond. I realized that my parents had not travelled much for pleasure. So, I gifted them a road trip to Kanatal, Dhanaulti and Tehri Dam. I made my dad do some adventure sports like Jet skiing and flying fox. It was the first time he did it went for adventure sports and loved it. It’s often that in a bid to satisfy our personal goals we tend to forget that we have to give back to our parents. It was heartening to see my dad doing adventure sports for the first time at the age of 60 plus. Age, as the new age Gurus say, should never be a barrier for indulging in new experiences. It was a road trip which I will remember for a long time. Though road trips like this one are a lot of fun, one must pay attention to choosing the right vehicle. Small details like music player, storage space, interiors of the car are important. Choosing the right battery is also very important especially for someone like me who travels frequently. I have had good experience with Amaron battery. The view from my #SoulWindow is worth it!

Sri Lanka grew on me slowly. It's one of those destinations which weave their magic at their own pace. As I leave Sri Lanka, I am thinking of places like Yala, Train ride from Kandy, Jafna and many more. I will come back to see these. Just in few days, I saw so many faces of SL. From a boat ride in lake, to climbing up Sigiriya, from indulging is soul nourishing local vegetarian food to exploring centuries old Buddhist caves, from partying till wee hours to staying in beautiful eco friendly properties, SL has left a lasting impact on me. I am hungry for more. The view from my #SoulWindow is addictive.

After I got my first taste of soul nourishing vegetarian Sri Lankan food at the sumptuous breakfast buffet at Jetwings Hotel, I strolled around the quiet and beautiful Negombo beach which had an access from the property. Cocooned from the outside world, the beach offered me solace from the daily grind, as I walked slowly, soaking in the ambiance, making new memories. The view from my #SoulWindow is serene!

I can do so much more than just play my music in the #TataTigor! The ConnectNext Infotainment system allows me to play music from a varity of sources, adjust the graphic equaliser, tune into my favourite radio stations and also comes with speed dependent volume controls for perfect in-cabin acoustics! #MoveUpToTheSedanLife #Advertorial

Just as I entered the ancient water gardens of Sigriya, a group of young monks passed by. Sigriya is one of the top places to see in Sri Lanka. It is world famous for a reason. Sigiriya aka the 8th wonder of the world in near Colombo. More than 2000 years old frescos blew my mind. My Fav: Lion's paws. It's a UNSECO WORLD HERITAGE SITE. The view from my #SoulWindow is mind blowing.
