Vava’u - Tonga

By -
Vava’u group of Islands – the sailing paradise of the Pacific.

The waters of Vava’u are truly magnificent – you can see the bottom at 40 metres. Maybe that is why the whales keep coming back each year!
Charter a boat and take some time to explore the beautiful waterways and discover for yourself why Vava’u is one the world’s most favoured sailing destinations. Day trips are also available if you prefer.

Swim inside the Swallows Cave and dive into Mariners Cave or discover the calm waterways by sea kayak. If you are feeling up to it why not venture out overnight and stay under the stars on your own white sandy beach.
Try your hand at game fishing and if you’re lucky enough to visit during June and November why not have a swim with a whale.
For a day on land, take a stroll through Neiafu and stop and have a drink, lunch or even dinner at one of the great cafes or restaurants overlooking the Port of Refuge. For the fit and energetic, a climb to the top of Mt Talau is not to be missed.

There are more than 50 islands in the Vava’u Group so get out and explore as much as possible! Some you can get to by land, others by water and some you can even stay on overnight.
Don’t Miss:
* A sail on the magnificent Vava’u waters
* Whale watching from June to November
* Snorkeling and diving
* Dining on top of the Port of Refuge Bay

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
