The Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP): A surreal experience

-

There are eight natural sites in India which are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Great Himalayan National Park in Himachal Pradesh is one of them. It's one of my favorite places to go back time and again. Every time I have been there, it was a different season, and a different valley. But I have thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful vibes each time. It's always a surreal experience. Though it's not as popular among tourists as some other places in the Himalayas, it's going to change soon.

There are basically four valleys to explore in the GHNP- Parvati valley, Tirthan valley, Sainj valley and Jiwa Nal valley. 
Each of these valleys are gorgeous with wonderful landscapes.

Apart from the gorgeous valleys and mountains, I love the villages with lovely spread across the valleys. 

How to reach:
Take a volvo bus from Delhi in the evening (12-13 hrs); get down at Aut for Tirthan/ Sainj/ Jiwa Nal valley; or at Bhuntar for Parvati valley. Take a local taxi from there to your chosen destination. Local buses are also available for budget travelers.

Where to stay: 
Good home stay options are at all the popular places in the valley.

Kutch- a land so unique and magical!

With a unique landscape, diverse cultures, great history and heritage, rich crafts, the largest district of India is a little enigmatic. In this article, I intend to share with you a list of five must-do things in Kutch, drawing from my long time experience in Kutch.  5 must-do things while in Kutch:  1. Watch the sunset over the salt-flats near Dhardo village: At about 80 kms from the district HQ of Bhuj, the village Dhordo is base for the great salt flats, where the annual Rann Utsav (Desert festival) is organized. Every year (Nov-Feb) during the festival, a temporary township is established by the government offering best of Gujarat's art, music, food and cultural vibes.   2. Have a little fun at the Mandvi beach: Mandvi, a small town in south Kutch, 60 kms from Bhuj, offers a pristine beach; good to visit both in the morning and in the evening. I would suggest staying here at least for a day. 3.  Marvel at the architecture of Vijay Vilas Palace: Built in the early 1920s by the

North Goa Vs. South Goa- A Traveler's Perspective

The spatial dilemma: Goa has so many beaches and other amazing places that visitors often wonder where to go! And visitors who have been there once, and want to revisit, have a dilemma: how to choose the base location. In my experience, south Goa beaches are more beautiful, and pristine. Then why are north Goa beaches more popular? If you are planning for Goa, it's wise to your destination carefully. If you want more recreation, choose north Goa. North Goa beaches are closer to the airport, offer bustling market places with various options for party, shopping and food options, and a lot of fun activities. And if you want more visual pleasure and peace of mind, choose south Goa.  However, if you are a first time traveler, and want to have all sorts of experiences, choose Colva as your base location; it's centrally located, the first major beach in south Goa and located relatively close to the airport and railway station. You can easily visit both north and south Goa from here.

Kaziranga and Manas: Two of India's Best National Parks in Assam

Kaziranga National Park: With a sprawling 430 sq km area under the national park, Kaziranga is one of the largest national parks in India, and perhaps the finest, certainly for me. The sheer variety of wildlife and the high chance of witnessing them, makes the park most worthy of a visit. Add to that the spectacular landscape with beautiful elephant grassland crisscrossed by 4 rivers including Brahmaputra, and you have a feast for the traveler spirit. It is a host to more than 4000 one-horned Indian Rhinos (70% of the world population) and has one of the largest concentration of the royal Bengal Tiger and a large number of swamp buffalos, deer and variety of birds. The national park was first established in 1905 as a Reserve Forest which was converted into a Wildlife sanctuary in 1950 and was declared as a National Park in 1974. With increasing tiger population, Kaziranga was also declared as a Tiger Reserve in 2006. The UNESCO declared it as a World Heritage Site in 1985 for its uniqu
