    My husband went to Fiji Islands almost 10 years back and always spoke about it whenever we discussed a holiday destination. He said that the place was extremely beautiful with clear waters and lovely resorts. He was there for a year so he spent a lot of time traveling. Suva the capital of fiji was where he lived for all that time. The people are very warm and friendly and he met lots of Indians there.

    He had traveled to Mauritius and a whole lot of other places, but Fiji had a special place in his heart. Since I've heard so much about it, cant wait to get there. Planning to visit it this year. Was looking for a resource to plan it out for me and stumbled upon Emma (Ultimate Tourism) on the internet.

    Emma planned out the whole trip for me guiding me on things to do, clothes to carry, visa and travel insurance etc, maps and sketched out a detailed plan for me. She even helped me with the tickets and got me the best deals possible since I had a budget for the whole trip.

    I would recommend Emma and her company Ultimate Tourism anytime to fellow travelers. If you want to have a carefree holiday with everything taken care of under one roof, then please do contact her. She and her team are very efficient, professional and you will not have any reason to complain. The highlight is the amazing deals that she can offer through her local tie-ups. Her email is info@ultimatetourism.com

    Bon Voyage!

Dilwara Temples, Mount Abu

By -

The Jain Dilwara temples of India are located about 2½ kilometers from Mount Abu, Rajasthan's only hill station. These temples dating back from the 11th to the 13th century AD are world famous for their stunning use of marble. The five legendary marble temples of Dilwara are the sacred pilgrimage of the Jains. They are an overwhelming blend of simple beauty and exquisite elegance. The marble temples have an opulent entranceway. The simplicity in architecture verily reminds one that Jainism as a religion "encouraged honesty and frugality". The temples reside amidst mesmerizing surroundings of mango trees and wooded hills. A high wall, shimmering luminous in the sunlight, shrouds the temple complex. Although the Jains built some beautiful temples at other places in Rajasthan but none come close to these in terms of architectural perfection. The ornamental detail spread over the minutely carved ceilings, doorways, pillars and panels is simply marvellous and has to be see

Jawhar - Peace and Tranquility

Hello friends, Have been away for far too long I know and apologies for that. Actually didn't have much to say about my travels since I did not get the chance to really for some time. But now I'm charged and back... Recently went to this little hill station called Jawhar near Mumbai - to be precise 120 kms from Mumbai  for shooting a punjabi music video and I was quite surprised. It is a quaint small town - termed as a hill station now by Maharashtra govt, but has a charm of its own. The Government has plans to develop it but I guess only if some funds are remaining after every one gets their share of the pie. As would generally happen in India, I expect there will be no development since all the sarkari naukars will eat up the funds and show some progress on paper. Jawhar in Thane district is located at about 150 Kms from Mumbai and is a perfect weekend picnic destination from Mumbai. Pune - Jawhar distance is about 250 Kms. Jawhar is on the SH 26 and the roads leadin

KOCHI - THE HISTORIC KERALA CITY

By -

For years now, travellers and travel writers have built on the myth that Kochi is an ancient city; that it is over 2,300 years of age. A city sought and sailed to by a diverse group of sea traders; a melting pot of cultures that went back to the Phoenicians; a metropolis that had a place for everything, from imported Chinese fishing nets to fragrant spice bazaars; a city of strange tongues, customs, dreams, hopes and a million other little things that we think of as Kochi today. To this mix we can now add a new tag—city of arts. For Kochi is all set to host India’s first-ever three month-long biennale, starting on 12 December. With over 80 Indian and international artists participating (Subodh Gupta, Ariel Hassan, Sudarshan Shetty and Atul Dodiya among them), and curated by well-known painter Bose Krishnamachari, the Kochi-Muziris Biennale promises to be an unmissable event. In fact, in the name of the biennale lies the truth about Kochi. For it was Muziris, the once bustling
