Weekend Getaway To - "The Pink City"

Last minute weekend trip to "The Pink City - Jaipur"

That was an unplanned trip and of course, tickets were also not booked due to last minute plan. I'm not sure why I waited so late to make up my mind but I was waiting to visit Jaipur again for a long time.

It was 4pm on Saturday evening, I headed out of my office to catch Bus to reach Jaipur.
I reached Jaipur at 9pm of the same day, Finally, the much awaited moment arrived. I heard a lot about the coolest most Hostel chain in India - Zostel.

That was for the first time while I was about to explore any hostel in India, and the experience of Zosteling was much better than expected.


My Zostel mates were all set to crawl towards the most popular club of Jaipur "Trove Club" at 11pm. The most interesting part of staying in Zostel was free access to the club wherein regular visitors have to pay expensive entry fees.

Unexpectedly Awesome Night Out

We spent some time recharging on the dance floor followed by some snacks and drinks. I had no clue that small city like Jaipur has much to deliver and that too for the entire night, as usual, all clubs in Delhi NCR use to wind up parties latest by 1am.

Awesome time spent with great persons- We didn't even realize the time in disco and finally reached hostel at 5am.

Tip- Summers are so hot in Jaipur so it makes sense to take rest in the morning and explore the city in the evening.



The last hurrah
We decided to explore the heritage Amer fort in the evening and it's worth to visit the fort during the late evening as lightening atmosphere and water and light show make fort visit more interesting.

All good things come to an end so as my trip but these kinds of experiences help us to create our memories unlimited and turn us into a storyteller.

  

What else you should expect from Jaipur

Places to explore in Jaipur includes - Amber Palace, Hawa Mahal, City Palace,  Jantar Mantar, Jal Mahal, Nahargarh Fort and the must visit Chokidhani for authentic Rajasthani culture and cuisine experience.

Expected damage to your pocket.

Bhutan – The Land of Thunder

Bhutan – The Land of Thunder You all must have heard about magical door during the childhood stories. I was finally able to find that door during April month of year 2024 after travelling to multiple destinations. I am talking about the Indo-Bhutan border gate located in Jaygaon town of West Bengal state, which connects with Phuentsholing city in Bhutan, while this Indian town is full of mob and chaotic streets wherein the landscape gets completely changed post crossing the door; the clean streets, less population, less pollution, respect for pedestrians and so on. Bhutan- A small landlocked country, with approximate population of 8 lakh people is the only net zero emission country in the world. Bhutan doesn’t promote mass tourism in order to prevent its culture and tradition. This high end tourism destination country collect USD $100 per night stay in the form of SDF (sustainable development fees) from each foreigner while Indians just have to pay INR 1200 per night per person, du

Voyage to Mukteshwar and Kasar Devi (Hidden Gem in Himalayas)

Image
It doesn’t matter how long we’re away, our hearts eventually call us back where we belong. That place that calls me back are the Himalayas. Did you find yours? J If you are a frequent visitor on my page, then you must be aware that I always search for off-beat places which are not so popular and less crowded. This time I was looking for some places like that in the Himalayan ranges of Uttarakhand state. My excitement and curiosity eventually led me to Mukteshwar and Kasar Devi.   Mukteshwar’s  neighbour Nainital attracts lots of tourist traffic from the surrounding states and Delhi. Mukteshwar is better for those who like to explore off beat areas and less crowded hill towns. The serene views of the Himalayas, lush green trees and the whistling chant of birds make this place worth visiting. There aren’t many activities to do at this place, but it is a beautiful place to enjoy nature. Below I will share some popular spots to explore.   Mukteshwar Temple This temple is loca
