I was going back after 30 years, to the same place, the same hotel… Hotel Pine & Peak, Pahalgam, Kashmir.
It was a small escape to paradise after a year of lockdown and no travel due to covid19. I was super excited. Landing in Srinagar we did our tests and headed straight to Pahalgam. “No airconditioning!” we told the driver, I wanted to feel the fresh breeze on my face. Read More
The world is gradually opening up, learning a new way to live after the scare of the pandemic. With most of international travel on hold this year, I am so happy that I managed to experience the Kenyan Safari in good time. This had been on my bucket list and my want for a vacay to the Masai Mara had been postponed indefinitely ever since the kids grew up. So, when this trip was suddenly planned by my friends, I jumped at the opportunity. Having grown up watching National Geographic rather than cartoons, the love for animals and wildlife was ingrained into my psyche. Read More

You must do the Segway tours. Be it Budapest, Vienna or even Rome. Learning to ride the Segway is an exhilarating experience for sure. Before I tried it at Budapest for the very first time and it was the best part of the trip. Read More
You must see the New York Cafe in Budapest. Before I went, I really wondered why it was called so. But once I was there I got it. New York will be New York and if one were to go by the grandiose of the structure, it is difficult to call it anything else. Read More
Vienna, the capital of Austria, the home to the legendary Morzat and Beethovan. You can feel it in the air, the music, the vibe. Cobbled pathways interlinked with the paved ones, horse-drawn carriages that offer a ride around the city with the old world charm. Read More
You must see the Budapest Ruin Bars if you are visiting Budapest because that’s what it is really famous for. Situated in the Pest part of Budapest, it is in a not so up-market area. Like the Soho of London, you can walk around the area visiting one ruin bar to another. Read More
