Paryatan Utsav or Tourism Fair organised by the Department of Tourism, New Delhi has been going on since about three weeks. This event is ending with a grand finale on Rajpath that is ongoing between 23-25 October, 2017. The host of stalls, displays and events do nothing but mesmerise the visitor. It makes us aware of our Incredible India or Atulya Bharat.
Asia is arguably the most popular region in the entire world with travellers, what with the abundance of culture and beauty to discover within its countries. However, with certain spots becoming oversaturated with tourism, it’s time to look to the lesser-known areas to visit instead. Here are just six of the cities you should visit in Asia that aren’t at all overcome by travellers.
Ranthambore – a sprawling, protected park just over 100 km from Jaipur, is in the south of Rajasthan. At the Ranthambore National Park, you get the opportunity to view tigers in a natural and realistic habitat that’s quite different from what we commonly see in fiction. The tigers are unforgettable, the additional wildlife is fascinating and the fort represents a fascinating piece of Indian history.
Rail travel has just been made easy. We came across the railyatri.in portal. As the name indicates, Railyatri is geered towards facilitating the railway traveller. It is a treasure trove of resources to enrich a train journey. Our visit to the portal railyatri.in revealed interesting inroads.

Summer vacations are the time when the whole family can plan a trip together. Since Delhi NCR is located close to hills there are many big / small travel destinations near Delhi and Gurgaon that are great to beat the heat. But the more popular destinations are crowded and may not offer a relaxing holiday, As a solution, we are listing a few of our favorite offbeat travel destinations here…
Morni Hills is the only hill station in Haryana. It is off Chandigarh and it is one of the rare hill stations that are under 6 hours drive from Delhi. We only had the weekend to our disposal hence we headed towards Morni Hills without expecting much but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
To celebrate New Year, we embarked on a road trip from Delhi to Gwalior. We were drawn by the historical places of Gwalior. But is Gwalior worth visiting?
Delhi has a host of fun-dos. What makes it more fun is its strategic location. 6 years of regular travel and we still discover new places or old places with a lot of newness. There is no dearth of weekend trip options from here. Our recent trip to Chandigarh gave us pleasures similar to a full blown holiday – in one and half days.
A trek up to the Everest Base camp is a once in a life time experience that many from Delhi NCR are keen on doing. However, this is an ardous exercise that requires professional guidance. Mojhi.com is an adventure portal with more than 15 Everest Base camp trekking packages in Nepal.
North India is blessed with proximity to hills particularly Aravallis and Himalayas. The accessible parts of Himalayas are shared by Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Lansdowne is a quite hill station in Uttarakhand. Only a few hours away from NCR, Lansdowne has amazing surprises to offer.

Summer vacation is here and people are busy making plans. Some are fortunate to travel afar. But for others, the going is not so bad – not bad at all! The ranges of Himachal, a great respite from the heat of the plains of NCR, are easily accessible from Delhi by buses, trains or private transport. Some of these places can be covered over a weekend and are still not spoilt by tourist pressure. Khajjiar is one such gem.
Agra has been immortalised by Shahjahan’s Taj Mahal – one of the Wonders of the World. But there is more to Agra than the Taj – the other mausoleums, street food, shopping and a visit to another Mughal site in the vicinity –Fatehpur Sikri. No wonder Agra features in the list for almost all tourists to Delhi. For a tourist, a convenient way to visit Agra from NCR is hire a taxi and one has a fantastic day trip in the offing.
We had come across the Katarmal Sun temple, also known as the Varaditya temple, quite by chance during our trip to Nainital. The way up was tough and we were alerted about that by the locals. We still decided to go ahead with this visit, and we regale on our decisions that we actually did.
