Amboli- "A Secret Gateway to Paradise"

-
Hey all
Discussion is onnn............
We should take her to "Amboli", said Aunt.
It's "Monsoon", probably little risky to drive there, said Uncle.
"Nah"....it will be fine, said Aunt.
Ok, but we can avoid going to the highest peak, said Uncle. 


And there I was sitting clueless, Amboli??? Never heard about such a place. But hill-station near Goa, Aaaa!!! Somehow, I was little dubious, having belong from North India; I already have many mountain states under my sleeve like J & K, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Sikkim. So, a tiny hill station near Goa, not sure !!! 

"Amboli" is a quaint hill station at Goa-Maharashtra border!! It lies in Satara Distt. of Maharashtra. 2 hours drive from Goa, that makes it a perfect day trip for Goans. From the early morning, it was raining "Cats and Dogs"; July being the peak monsoon season in Goa and around. One thing was for sure!! From the time I remember, I was never a monsoon lass, until I discovered Goa and Amboli. These amazing places made me fallen for them. Loved the season Monsoon like never before. 



The route to Amboli is so scenic and was full of greenery, we passed through by paddy and cashew-nut fields; and banana trees lined up on both sides of road. It was so eye catching. The most amazing part of our journey started as we moved up to the mountains, we were about to enter the abode of clouds. The air around was so hazy. One of the most remarkable thing about Amboli is it holds several water streams and some amazing waterfalls.




Amboli!!!
the Verdant Hills.......... 
the lush green leaves....
the hazy air............... 
and the Evil wind.........


Amboli!!

A Postcard-Perfect Landscape! Seemed as I walked straight into the Postcard, Amboli is as beauteous as computer wallpapers. I was Awwwstruck, Amboli is liked for its pictorial beauty, surreal landscape and lush green carpets.

To be honest these mountains seemed different to what I own back!!! 180 degree panoramic view of verdant mountains along the floating clouds  was definitely cherry on top. Truly, Amboli is a paradise for nature lovers. I was flying, Amboli simply "Swept me off my Feet". It’s an unblemished beauty, with extraaaa greenery in monsoon with excellent weather. 

As I was standing at the cliff of mountain, I was breathing fresh air to my lungs; was enjoying the supple touch of cold breeze. The wind was evil but sweet, playing along my hairs. Everything seemed super perfect at that moment. It was my moment; I was definitely peace at Heart.

Gangtok"The Hidden Gem"of India

Hey all Gangtok  "Hidden Gem of India" , is Abode of Hundreds of Monks, Monasteries, Placid and Beautiful Changu Lake, exciting Yak Ride, Luxurious Tea Gardens, Wilderness Mountains. "Gangtok"  located in State of Sikkim always fascinated me!!! Being born and brought up in Uttaranchal, Gangtok seemed really out of reach, till the time we shifted to Lucknow(U.P). Back in May-2012, I with my parents visited this Beautiful Hill Station.  We reached New Jalpaiguri (West Bengal) station by around 3 pm and another 6 hrs to reach Gangtok; by around 10:00 pm we were in our Guest House. Weather was awesome in the month of May. Gangtok is mainly visited by people from  "Bihar and West Bengal".  India is truly blessed with such "GREAT LANDSCAPES". Gangtok is one of the most "Clean and Disciplined" town I have ever seen!! ( Funny Tale- Few people are still unaware of the fact that Gangtok being part of Sikkim, India. They confus

Granny's Inn-A Cozy Homestay at Varanasi

Hey all Guy's you should have seen by Dad's face, when I proposed him with an idea of staying at a homestay!!! I am not gonna stay at somebody's place!!! I want my comfort, he replied. I laughed off and explained him with the budding concept of homestays in India. Still today when we start planning for a vacation, the first thing comes in our mind is "Hotel reservations"; HOTEL=COMFORT LEVEL!! But with change in time, homestays are picking up it's pace and popularity; specially with avid travellers. In September 2017, w e took a short trip to Varanasi;  and I decided to ditch Hotels over Homestays.  With few points in mind, I searched around a while to book a perfect homestay.  Granny's Inn, was our home for next 3 days.  Here are my reasons to pick Granny's Inn- LOCATION Perfectooo!!! In the heart of Varanasi; just 10 mins walking distance to D ashaswamedh Ghat (main ghat). PRICE Booked through MMT, jus

Hey all I am super excited to pen down by "Experience and Memories" of my visit to  Singapore "The Lion City" !!!  I have been to Singapore twice, nearly for three weeks each time.  After almost 5 hrs of journey and 'Flying over the Green Meadows and Water Bodies' , I finally reached Singapore- Changi Airport and there I was welcomed by my 'Aunt and Uncle'.  Singapore often known for Skyscrapers and Ultra-Modern amenities ; but there is unseen side to it.  Singapore is an amazing country, truly speaking even a month time will be seemed insufficient to explore this beautiful place.
