Suryagarh: reason enough to visit Jaisalmer

  • by Shweta Singhal
  • Posted on August 1, 2017October 19, 2018

Jaisalmer is a dream destination not just for foreign tourists visiting India for its exotic charms, but even for a Rajasthani as I. The hospitality at Suryagarh, a boutique hotel, about 15 kilometres outside the Jaisalmer city made our trip a memorable one.

A quick stopover in Zagreb: What to do in one day

  • by Shweta Singhal
  • Posted on July 27, 2017January 3, 2019

Zagreb is nothing like the medieval towns of Split and Dubrovnik, and yet, warrants a day or two. There is interesting architecture, small museums, good restaurants and beautiful parks to be enjoyed.

The road less travelled in Plitvice Lakes National Park

  • by Shweta Singhal
  • Posted on July 10, 2017February 15, 2020

Luck, happenstance, and information from our B&B manager, got us to explore this park in a different manner. The tranquil walk in the Upper Lakes, and the trail with gazebos high above in the Lower Lakes area, would be my recommendation to experience the park’s beauty, away from the crowds.

Vis: The furthest inhabited island in Croatia with an interesting history

  • by Shweta Singhal
  • Posted on June 27, 2017July 7, 2019

Home to about 3000 people, Vis is amongst the furthest inhabited islands and not one on the direct ferry route from either Split or Dubrovnik. That said, it has an interesting history.
From 1950 until 1989, it served as the Yugoslav National Army’s base, out of bounds to foreign visitors. It still has the air of an unspoilt paradise.

So true! Looking back at all the #sunsetsky we enjoyed in the Maldives. Back to the grind now. 
I shall pick my throwback series again, now that India is experiencing a severe second wave and it’s best to postpone non-urgent travel plans.

I went diving 🤿 after more than a year’s gap. I went diving 🤿 after more than a year’s gap. After the first 5 minutes, it all came back. Easy dives, ones wreck site and second a shallow coral area. Lots of small fish 🐠 in and around the wreck and some small turtles 🐢, a couple of lobsters, a black octopus 🐙 and a moray eel sighting at the second dive site.

Even though I have been #scubadiving only for 6 years, it’s evident what is happening to corals around the world. The corals close to Male are almost dead. 😳😕

Growing up in a vegetarian family, I never thought Growing up in a vegetarian family, I never thought adult life would be so experimental in terms of food. Crab for the first time!!!
If you have to eat crab 🦀 for the first time ever, no better place than @ministryofcrab!

What an adventure learning how to crack open the shell and pry out bits of sweet meat. The pepper sauce and the garlic chilli sauce were superb, as was the garlic bread that we ordered with the crabs. Swipe to the end to see a video of my daughter looking at a massive live crab 🦀.

D for Dubrovnik! . Touristy and cliched in parts D for Dubrovnik! 
.
Touristy and cliched in parts it may be, the old town of Dubrovnik is also charming and one of my favourites. Walking the walls of the old town makes you feel why this was chosen as one of the most popular GoT locations.
