If I have to describe Srilanka in one word, I will call it “Pocket Patakha” small in size and big on impact.  There is so much packed in here that in every couple of hours you feel like you are in a new country. World heritage sites , stunning architecture, endless tea plantations, hiking sites, pristine beaches, wild safaris, cosmopolitan cities and cities with old world charm your name and you will have it right there. Don’t go by the geographical size of this county, it has something to offer to all kind of travelers. Srilanka was on my mind for the last couple of years and before over-tourism starts spoiling this place, I planned a 10 days action-packed itinerary dragged my partner along and left for this beautiful beyond words Island Country in December of 2019. Before we go ahead let me tell you what this blog is going to be all about: ·          My Itinerary ·          Getting around ·          Best Time to Visit ·          Main Attractions ·

Bikaner- The city less traveled... In India, colors are celebrated like nobodies business but Rajasthan takes this spectrum of colors to extremes. Vibrant, colorful, dazzling, vivid, garish – none of these words do Rajasthan justice. Every city of this princely state is a sensory assault, from pink to blue to mint to turquoise its riot of colors. And why not Rajasthan has a history of vibrant culture which is over approx 5000 years old.  While the most talked about cities in Rajasthan are Jaipur, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer and Udaipur, I am taking you with me to the explore the least unexplored city of this colorful state - BIKANER... a vibrant desert town with fabulous forts and havelies and an energizing settlement feel. It’s less touristy than many other Rajasthani cities hence one can explore the city on its own pace.
