Scary Stay at Triund

Image
Hi readers, I hope you liked the previous blog which was about Local Sightseeing and Food Trail in Mcleodganj. This blog is in continuation of the previous one and in this blog, I would share with you all about the most adventurous and scary experience of Triund. So, after walking and exploring so much the previous day, our Day 2 in Mcleodganj was a lovely morning with cool breeze and view of snow clad mountains. For our day 2, we planned to trek to Triund. Triund is a popular trekking destination in Himachal Pradesh. This pleasant hill allures the visitors by its glory and charm. While at Triund, you can praise the beauty of Dhauladhar Range at one side and Kangra Valley at the other. Its clean and calm ambiance makes it a perfect relaxation destination. For the trek, we hired a guide who charged us Rs1000 per person which included our lunch (on the same day), evening snacks, dinner and early morning breakfast along with tea. Our guide came to our hotel only around

It's very rare that I plan to go somewhere out of Delhi for a vacation coz of that typical Indian parent’s thinking that a girl can’t go out alone kyuki kuch ho gya vaha to...daaa But after days and nights of making that cute puppy face for convincing my parents to allow me to go for a vacation, they permitted me to go for a 4 days trip to Mcleodganj. Mcleodganj is a hill station near Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh. It is very well famous as the home of Spiritual Tibetan Leader Dalai Lama. Mcleodganj has the most hypnotic landscape in the entire state of Himachal Pradesh with snow clad beauties hill and lush greenery. Coming to my trip itinerary, it was planned from 6 April to 11 April 2018. We booked a 12 seater traveler (Maharaja) which cost us Rs31000, which included 1250 km of total distance and parking. The seats were comfortable enough and had a 1-1 seating pattern. You can also book a 2-1, 12 seaters normal traveler that would cost you around Rs28000 approx.

I always look for reasons to have some desserts, but this time this steal deal was the only reason.  Dunkin Donuts is giving some yummy donuts for Rs49 each...Isn't it a cheap thrill?! Choco Frosted Who doesn't love chocolates and that too when it comes topped up on our favorite dessert donut, that too for just Rs49, I can gulp it in a minute, can you?? Jelly Filled The things which look ordinary from outside, are certainly filled with some exciting surprise from inside. I too got strawberry jelly filled as a surprise in this sugar dusted donut. Classic Glazed This is the classic as well as simplest of all, which is just a normal donut, coated in sugar syrup, adding a classic taste to it. Cutie Fruity This is the best among all, with perfect presentation and the amazing burst of fruity flavours, left me craving for more n more. Cinnamon Have a bite of this one can indulge yourself in the warmth of donut and hint of cinnamon, though this was on a

You know the specialty of lotus right? This beautiful flower is cultured in filth, making every possible effort to bloom bright and Lotus Kitchen in Ashok Vihar, Phase 1 has rightly justified its nomenclature. This casual restaurant serves some lip smacking North-Indian, Italian, and other continental food. Do you know what’s the best way to judge the cookery of a new food joint? Here’s a pro tip: Order some Chinese! Ahaa! So here’s what ended up on my platter The food, out of paper bags, was well placed in microwave-safe bowls (perfect for less mess and lazy foodies). I will begin with the Dry Manchurian that was fiery on spice although a little dry on the inside. The second dish that was served to this Punjabi tongue was Dhabba Style Noodles . The noodles came without cabbage, just as ordered so it was well cooked and just as spicy as the Manchurian. The next was Shahi Malai Kofta . Now in Indian Cuisine, you are deemed to have dry fruits in anything that is

The sound of rain droplets calls for the perfect time to have tea, pakode and everything lip smacking to compliment the beautiful weather. And how can we keep calm when our favourite tea joint has introduced the monsoon menu. Chaayos, our only go to place when the taste buds crave for piping hot kulhad vali chai and spicy pakodas, has now introduced their Monsoon Menu and we are going gaga over it.

Far away from the hustles of the town, surrounded by the greenery and silence, is this huge property, Knight Rider Junction.  Primarily contriving as BYOB (Bring Your Own Booze), this beautiful property offers a private room, lounge, open terrace and garden area under one roof for an amazing dining experience.  With their Italian, Continental, Mughlai and Chinese food, they will surely take you on the delectable food ride.

Hey foodies, There are so less food outlets that focus on their customer's diet and the diet kitchen is one of them. This newly opened outlet in Rajouri is a blessing for all the health freak foodies. Being a foodie it becomes very difficult for me as well to control the hunger pangs for pizza, pasta n all that favourite stuff. Then why not to have all these with a healthy twist. Though it is a delivery/take away joint, you all must be thinking about the packing, right? The packing is way to perfect with everything packed properly and safely. The interesting part of The Diet Kitchen, is that the amount of proteins, carbs and calories, ypu would have through your meal is mentioned on the menu. To experience the healthy twist, I too ordered some delicious and healthy food from the diet kitchen.
