My visit to India’s oldest national park, the Jim Corbett National Park gave me much more than I expected. The park has been named after the hunter who turned into a conversationalist. My joy largely had its source in the fact that I had booked accommodation at Dhikala. The resort sits right on the banks of River Ramganga inside the forest. On my first morning, I got up early and took a jeep safari. It was an indescribable thrill to watch graceful creatures like deers, herds of wild elephants, jungle cats, and boars that we came across right in their own turf. In fact, I will go far enough to comment that the price of my air tickets to India seemed a mere pittance against the sights that the jungle treated me to. After returning to ... read more

No amount of words would do justice to this exhilarating sport. I can only say that this ride alone seemed worth every penny I spent on my air tickets to Cairo. The feeling was divine as we glided across the air and took in an eagle’s eye view of the meandering Nile and the surrounding landscape. Once our ride was over, we caught a bus to the Valley of the Kings and the place simply blew my mind. The tombs were like lavish ... read more

Cape Town beats hands down most places I have visited. The sheer contrast of white sandy beaches against the backdrop of the looming Table Mountain makes for a breathtaking sight. The memory of watching the sun go down from the bistro atop Table Mountain remains unforgettable. Hiking up the Platteklip Gorge was demanding but proved well worth the experience.
