Tales of travels..food and many more!

Day 1 : Arrival srinagar and drive to Pahalgam night stay Pahalgam 2440 Mtrs known as Valley of Shepherds  Visit Saffron fields- There are multiple shops selling Saffron here and one can buy from here instead of Srinagar.  Avantipur ruins which is an eleven hundred years old temple.  Day 2 : Pahelgam Visit Betaab Valley, Chandanwari and Aru Valley.  It has to be done in a Union taxi which is easily available for ₹2400 for all three places.  The driver will drop you for an hour and in case you dont get back in an hour from a particular place he will charge ₹400 per hour.  The places actually need more than an hour to explore so its worth paying waiting charges.  Baisaran Valley - Its also called mini Switzerland and worth visit. But only way to go is through horses.  There are multiple activities at all these places and one can enjoy but everything has extra charges.  Day 3 : Srinagar 1.Dal Lake Shikara boat ride - Its most popular thing to do...

We were suppose to stay here for two nights but checked out after one night.. Read on to know the reasons- 1.The property is extremely small as in 6-9 rooms total including ground floor, first and second floor.  2.There is no lidder river view at all from the hotel and you need to walk down the road to have view.  3.The food that we had gave pur child food poisoning. The dinner area looks like a small store room at the backside of the hotel.  4.Its 14 kms away from actual Pahelgam to be very precise.  5.In real terms its a lodge not 1% features of RESORT is seen.  6.ONLY Good part is that they hace AC in rooms which most of the five star hotels in Pahelgam do not have.  7.The restaurant staff was humble and quick at their work but cleanliness was an issue since pur child fell sick.  8. All the locks of the rooms as well as washroom are faulty and gets stuck the moment somebody tries to close the door. We had to call room service atleast 20 times since ...

Vietnam had been on our bucket list since a long time. However, we couldn't make up to it untill September 2023 due to work commitments or other unavoidable circumstances.  We booked the entire trip through a Vietnamese Travel Company and had a good experience.  Here is the itinerary that we followed with some personal inputs.  Day 1- Danang  We started our trip from Hyderabad India and Landed in Da Nang after a short layover in Malaysia Da Nang - We had two nights stay in Danang and stayed very closed to  Danang Beach.  Hotel - Greenery in Danang was the one we checked in into and found the hotel to be decent.Though it was very close to beach like 2-3 minutes walk.. I would still recommend to stay in the hotels with beach view which are right on the beach.  This hotel had only one veg option besides few cut fruits and which is one reason for its mark down.  Though there were multiple cafes around and one can easily enjoy veg food and coffee ....

Phi Phi The Beach Resort We stayed at this resort for two nights on 5th November to 7th November'22.  We had a wonderful stay and here are few points which might be of great help to you while deciding upon the resort- 1.The resort has accessibility for guests only through boat. This is one point to be kept while deciding to stay here as one cannot go out other than by taking a boat to nearest pier. Every time you take a boat from hotel, it is on chargeable basis both ways. 2.Resort provides pickup from the nearest pier that is Tonsai pier. Staff would be holding the hotel's placard. The staff will then help you with the luggage. It's  a 5-10 mins boat ride from Tonsai pier towards the resort.  3.The resort is beautiful beyond words and the pictures posted are very close to real ones. The beach is clean and views are picturesque. Its worth staying here as the rooms are beautiful, resort has pool right on the beach , restaurants on the beach. 4.We had booked standard room w...
