Rajasthan, as majestic as the royalty
A land with vibrant history and culture dating back to as early as the Indus Valley isn't something to be visited in a hurry.
Everything in Rajasthan, from art, music, architechture, cuisine, traditions, festivals, dresses, fabric, jewellery, handicrafts have a rich, vivid and long story to tell. A synopsis is a hard nut to crack here.
Do you know, the pugdi or safa worn by Rajasthani men are colour coded?
Different tribes wear different coloured pugdi, some bandhni or leheriya printed, that vary for various occasions, festivals, and seasons as well as moments of grief or joy. The length of a pugdi is generally 9 to 11m but in areas with lower water table, men use longer turban cloth, as long as 20m, so as to use it as a rope to draw water from wells on the way! There are more than 1000 ways to tie a pugdi.
Women also have jewellery, dress and even embroidery coded for each tribe. And the stories are as exciting as ever.
Winter is the ideal season to have a tete a tete with Rajasthan as the weather gets cooler and a number of festivals lined are up in Jaipur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Puskar etc. The national parks also welcome the migratory avians in winter.

‘Postcards from Kumaon’
Kumaon, the land of myriad tales and tigers as described in Corbett’s anecdotes, is no longer the wilderness it used to be. Still, this part of Uttarakhand brushing the Indo-Nepalese border is a dream getaway for nature enthusiasts. The winding roads run along the oak, pine and deodar trees, terraced paddy fields, an incredible number of old shrines and stone houses as wisps of cloud play in the heavily scented forests of Kumaon. The villages high up in the mountains always have the snow clad peaks of Trishul, Panchchulli, Nandaghunti, Chaukhamba at seemingly close quarters. The culture, cuisine and simplistic lifestyle of the Kumaoni people are also extraordinarily woven in the warps and wefts of time.
A typical Kumaoni thali would comprise some herbs, spices, leafy greens, millets, pulses and vegetables that are unique to the region hence the taste would be found no where else. Nainital, Ranikhet, Almora, Binsar, Kausani, Munsiyari, Pithoragarh, Choukori...there are so many places to experience the grandeur of Kumaon Himalayas. Join us for a rendezvous with Kumaon, Uttarakhand.

Spiti Valley, Himachal
The grandeur of Spiti Valley is of superlative degree, but before you pack your bags, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. This dry and cold region is a high altitude cold desert. So pack in full body thermals, moisturizers, good quality hiking boots or snow boots, first aid kit, necessary medicines, dry snacks, good sunscreen lotion, water bottles. And if you are confident enough for Spiti Valley road trip, then keep an emergency kit for your car. Road conditions are good in most places though you need to be alert. The ecosystem of the valley is extremely fragile, so always act responsibly. Ideally your starting point should be from Shimla-Kinnaur side for better acclimatization. And who can ever forget to pack in the camera when your destination is such a picturesque place on earth? With series of barren mountains, clear blue skies, rugged terrain, sparsely dotted with beautiful hamlets and ancient monasteries, here solitude speaks in volumes. Best time to visit would be April to July and Oct to Nov, though winter gives a stunning perspective to the valley, the plummeting temperature would really be a concern.
