Marvelous natural beauty of the Sahyadri

Marvelous natural beauty of the Sahyadri

                                                         Wanna hike here?




When its monsoon season, planning a day trip to the Sahyadris is a must especially if you hail from Pune, Mumbai or other cities around the Sahyadri mountain range also known as the Western Ghats. In the rainy season, the Western Ghats are decked up with lush greenery and dense fog.

Monsoon helps bring out the child in you. Free your mind and enjoy the nature’s benevolence. Stand under a waterfall and experience the force of water on your back, enjoy the rains without an umbrella and splash water in streams. Such experiences are immensely invigorating. You will return home physically tired but mentally fresh and happy.

Weekend Getaways - Gems in the German Moselle Valley!

Image
The Moselle valley is often overlooked in comparison to the world-famous romantic route of the Rhine valley. Granted, Moselle is not as mighty as the Rhine but the valley has its own charm! River Moselle (German: Mosel) flows through France, Luxembourg and Germany. As the river passes though Germany it creates beautiful landscapes and a great opportunity for wine growers. Most of the hillsides are covered in vineyards which grow the white grape variety called Riesling. The river has been used for trade and travel since hundreds of years and today we can see a high number of castle ruins along the entire Moselle valley. In this blog I am going to cover the cities (and castles)  me and my husband have visited till now.   The rivers Mosel and Rhine meet in Koblenz. The point of confluence is called the  The  Deutsches Eck  and it is a lovely must-see place. M ore about Koblenz in the next blog dedicated to the Rhine valley ! 😉 In Germany, i f you stay in NRW or  Rhineland-Palatin

Mesmerizing journey through Provence - from the French Riviera to the lakes and mountains

Provence  is the south-eastern region of France. It has a lot to offer and the highlights are the beaches (popularly known as the French Riviera ), the French side of the Alps mountains and the  Verdon Natural Regional Park. The French Riviera The 'French riviera' is the region with glamorous beaches on the south coast of France. We (me and my husband) visited Nice, Cannes, Antibes and Monaco . In these towns the beaches are the main attraction. There are mostly very few or no other typical sightseeing places like castles or museums like other touristy European  cities. Paradise  for sail boats and yachts Nice We landed at the Nice airport on 6th September 2019. We started the sightseeing by visiting the market in the Nice city center.

Simple and delicious!  Socca and win

The allure of Niagara Falls is timeless, drawing in millions of visitors each year to witness the breathtaking natural wonder that straddles the border between Canada and the United States .  The Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls are two of the three waterfalls collectively known as Niagara Falls.
