Mukteshwar – A small tourist destination in the kumaon Hills at an altitude of 2286 metrs (7500 feet) . A place with absolute peace, solitude and silence. If you want to spend some of your quality time with the nature, Mukteshwar is the place which offers you the absolute luxury of being in the midst of pine and oak trees, surrounding hills and mountains with absolute silence to refresh your body, soul and mind.
While heading towards Mukteshwar , one encounters the unfolded beauty which Kumaon valley offers silently.
When the first ray of sunrise just touches your face, when the cold wind left behind its freshness in the air , when you are surrounded by the fruit orchards and thick coniferous forests………..anyone can feel the mesmerizing beauty this unexplored valley offers.....

For the past few years, I have taken to Himachali music. I first got introduced to it during my wedding, when a constant background music of women singing Himachali wedding songs, made the simple ceremony even more beautiful. Since then, I have been introduced to several Himachali songs that I have come to love. And this also gives me a great advantage - when I sing these in family gatherings, VJ's side of the family is unfailingly impressed by a non-Himachali knowing so many Himachali songs :-P.
Let me start by saying that Chittor Fort is a must visit place when you are in Udaipur region of Rajasthan State in India . There are multiple reasons behind saying that and the most obvious being that Chittor Fort is India's largest fort. Other reason is that Archeological survey of India has maintained this UNESCO World heritage site pretty well. Chittor fort is huge so in this blogpost we will know and explore Rana Kumbha Palace.
Recently we shared about out visit to City Palace in Udaipur of Rajasthan and this blogpost is also related. Udaipur City Palace is grand and different parts of the palace has very well preserved old architecture & style. Travellingcamera loved clicking beautiful doors, clourful & arched windows and the favourite ceilings in different designs, colours, material & shapes. Does that topic demand a separate blogpost? Is it your current thought? Give it a try and share back in comments if you felt it was worth or not.
When I came back from Udaipur , I missed one thing big time and that was walking the streets of Udaipur. We walked a little but that exposed me to treasure which seemed to be endless and I wish I had spent more time on the streets of Udaipur town of Rajasthan . But that's the motivation to plan another visit when the city is transformed into a true heritage city with only electric karts running in old part of the city and much better infrastructure. This blogpost shared about Udaipur streets and what all they offer for different people in terms of architecture, food, heritage , art, colours, silver jewellery, handicraft stuff and lot more. It depends what you want to do, but all these places can offer you real feel of Udaipur Town.
Recently I got hold of Dennis Special whisky. This is semi-premium whisky which is recently launched in Delhi and it comes in beautiful pack, as you can see in above photograph. By reading the text over the bottle and pack, I was super excited and had high expectations. When we opened the bottle, we loved the aroma but it was not as smooth as we were expecting it to be. But if we look at the price range, this whisky definitely makes a mark. Dennis Special is a blend created from the peaty classics from different parts of the world. It's The result is reasonably smooth liquid having subtle smokiness, when made us stick to the whisky for the evening. Dennis Special is available in pack sizes of 750 ML, 375 ML and 180 ML. And priced at Rs. 320/-, 160/- & 80/- . Dennis Special is available in most of the private and government retail shops in Delhi.
