🌄Road Trip: Delhi → Ranthambore → Bundi It was around 6:30 PM when we started our journey from Gurgaon, aiming to reach Ujjain by night. However, the condition of the Mumbai Expressway turned out to be far from ideal. As we hit the expressway, it was already dark — and to our surprise, there were no streetlights.

Considering these factors, we decided to pause our journey and take an overnight halt instead of pushing through. 🏨 Night Halt at Ranthambore After a long drive, we finally reached Ranthambore around 1:30 AM and checked into a hotel for the night.

We dined at Kanha Restaurant, which I highly recommend to anyone visiting Ranthambore — their authentic flavors are something ...

By evening, we reached Lohaghat, where we relaxed by the beautiful Lohaghat Lake. Surrounded by dense forests and soft hill silhouettes, the lake offered boating till 6 PM—perfect for unwinding after the ...

I recently had a 7 days trip to Andaman, it was one of the most exciting and scenic journey so far. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands consist of over 500 islands, with only a few being habited, while few islands i.e. North Sentinel Island are still a home for indigenous tribe.
