I have always believed that most couple would like to spend their honeymoon time in peace and tranquility where they can spend more time together and enjoy the space that they share that will deepen their bond together for the rest of their life. However, time has changed and couples today think differently when it comes to their honeymoon trips. Couples today sure want to spend some time together, but they also like to actively participate in fun activities and adventure sports that can make their honeymoon trip exciting and unforgettable. Taking that trend into consideration many tour companies have come up with better options at various places that newlyweds can explore. Many couples today prefer to take off for some adventure honeymoon experience where they can get some adrenaline rush as well as some private space. Let’s take a quick look at the top 5 adventure honeymoon destinations and places in India that offer the right kind of mixed experience.
It’s time to add some colors to your wardrobe, pump up the garba music and to put on your dancing shoes because Navratri is here and while Mumbai and Kolkata celebrates Navratri in style, Gujarat celebrates it with all the grandeur and tradition which is deeply rooted in the history of Gujarat. Although, I am not very religious, I have always loved watching and dancing to the beats of garba and dandiya since my childhood. The colorful chaniya cholis and kedias that people wear for the event and that swirl around with the spinning motion in sync with the music offers a visual treat that you can only see in this time of the year. If you are passionate about dancing to the beats of traditional dandiya and garba rather than getting dragged into all the Bollywood glamour that happens during these nine nights, I would certainly recommend that you take a trip to Gujarat and witness one of the best dancing festivals and garba places you will find across western India.
Mumbai has always been the city of dreams and aspirations. While we might argue and cry about the hectic lifestyle the city has to offer it also offers plenty of festive opportunities. Mumbai is home to some of the biggest festivals happening across India. Hence, you can be sure that you can find some great places for celebrating Navratri as well. If you intend to celebrate Navratri with a bang you can find top dandiya Garba venues in Mumbai.

Its weekend time and it’s time for many Mumbaikars to take some time off from their hectic and boring work schedule and spend some time with their friends where they can share some quality moments and probably even vent out their inner emotions and feelings. I love weekends as much as I love my work because after five days of struggle, I get some time to spend it the way I want it. The biggest tragedy of being in the writing profession is that everybody thinks it is cool to be a writer, but there are many more sides of it that always remain in the dark.

So, when the weekend comes people hunt for the coolest hangout destinations where they can meet with friends and chill out and spend some great time. Here we take a look at the top 5 coolest and affordable hangout destinations in Mumbai where you can have quality time with your friends without spending too much.
Bordered by Jammu and Kashmir on the north, Himachal Pradesh has always been known for its snow clad mountains and chilly hill stations that can beat the Indian heat hands down. The name of the state literally means In the Lap of the Snow and that is why Himachal Pradesh is so popular with tourists from all over the country and internationally as well. As per my personal travel experience, I believe it is a great substitute for all those who cannot afford Jammu and Kashmir which can get quite out of hand at times. The accommodation in Himachal Pradesh is not as expensive as you can find in Jammu and Kashmir although both the locations offer some really great travel experience for honeymooners. These days I am more focused on honeymoon travels as some of my readers are newly married couples and I would like to offer my readers with more honeymoon travel destinations and options that can help them to have the best time possible. It gives me so much pleasure when they comment and appreciate; it’s more than what I can ask for.

While some of my readers might be skeptical of whether they should explore Jammu and Kashmir or not mainly because of the terrorist activities that keep happening here from time to time, but I believe there is nothing much to worry about if you choose the right destinations and locations. Below I have listed 5 best honeymoon destinations in Jammu and Kashmir that offers great honeymoon experience without compromising on your safety.
Honeymoon in India
The monsoon season is just about to end in the next few weeks and it’s time for many couples to share rings and flower garlands and go through all the traditions and customs that will bond them together for eternity.

Indians love marriages and Indian couples are always looking out for some great honeymoon destinations that they can look out for once they wrap up with all the band, baajaa, baaraat, and all the regional traditions. Many couples look out for international honeymoon destinations, but I believe there is so much more in India to explore you really don’t need to spend more.

Waterfalls in Maharashtra
It’s quite ironic that many people in cities like Mumbai and Pune often curse the rain for the kind of urban mess that it creates and then rush out in the rural areas looking for some holiday spots where they can enjoy the serenity of nature. In my previous blog about waterfalls, I covered the must visit top 5 waterfalls near Mumbai but I finally thought that Maharashtra is not just around Mumbai and Pune. Maharashtra is blessed with plenty of natural landscapes and holiday destinations that should be explored. This time I am again covering the waterfalls that readers can enjoy and I have never covered them before on my blog so my readers can always expect some fresh and new content and even new waterfall destinations that they can explore. Below are the top 5 must visit waterfalls in Maharashtra which nature lovers, photographers and family people can enjoy.
New Delhi is nothing less than chaos during the monsoon season with all that traffic jams and floods that occur in the low lying areas, but I think that is not exactly what Delhi has to offer to its residents and all the people that visit the capital city during the rainy season. I believe every city in the world is very much like that especially in India where people from various small towns and villages land up in metro cities like Mumbai and Delhi for work and to earn their livelihood and on top of it the poor civic administration that does very little to resolve city’s complex problems. Well, I am not here to talk on social and political issues but instead I would like to highlight some great monsoon weekend getaways that are near New Delhi that can help my readers to get out of this urban cacophony and all the stress that they build up during the week.
Waterfalls Near Mumbai
Tired after a long week of hectic work and stress? Well, monsoons have finally touched Mumbai and this time the clouds have been more merciful than before raining more than what we normally expect. While rains lead to flood and traffic jam problems during the weekdays it also offers a better way to relax and get back into action on weekends. Many Mumbaikars feel the need to just take a break from their hectic schedule and drive away not too far from the city into a place that can offer them lush greenery and icy cool waterfall where they can enjoy and have some great time with their family and friends. Here we take a look at the top 5 waterfalls near Mumbai that offer the best way to enjoy our weekend.
If you are interested in enjoying nature in its raw form you need to head to some of the top wildlife sanctuaries in India that offer better view and options to enjoy nature. India has more than 442 wildlife sanctuaries also known as Category 4 Protected Area and therefore India provides a lot of options that you can look out for when you are excited for a nature’s tour up close and personal. I think sometimes too many choices make it difficult for travelers to decide where they should head because nature lovers need more excitement and better environment that can allow them to feel the animals in the wild right in front of them in their original form. Let me take you on a virtual trip and tell you more about the top 3 wildlife sanctuaries in India that you cannot afford to miss.
Kala Ghoda, Mumbai
Kala Ghoda literally means Black Horse and although the name sounds a bit odd for a location it offers a great experience especially when you are somewhere in South Mumbai. I have been a resident of South Mumbai since my birth and no other place holds a special place in my heart than Kala Ghoda. It is not only connected to my childhood days, but also during my college days. Oh, you must be thinking I am getting emotional and exaggerating about the place because I am emotionally attached to it, but that is not the case. When I write I detach myself from the topic to give a whole new perspective to my readers and audience but certainly Kala Ghoda is among the best tourist destinations in Mumbai.
Life in Mumbai is cruel and unforgiving. I know it because I was born here and I know how complicated things can become with time. The elite class of Mumbai always have better destinations and places in Mumbai where they can hangout and spend money to relax and spend good time with their friends and family, but what about the middle class population like me that contributes a large portion of the city’s population. People like me who work 9 to 5 and travel in suburban local trains that can squeeze out every ounce of your life need some weekend getaways from Mumbai. These destinations and places around Mumbai can offer a day to unwind and feel better and spend some quality time with family and friends so that we can recharge ourselves and add some memorable and valuable moments in life that we can cherish for lifetime, before we get lost in the hard competitive race of life. Below I have focused on five top and best weekend getaways from Mumbai that never really get the kind of popularity they deserve. Something offbeat.
