Ever wondered what the most luxurious hotel baths look like?
Here I have mentioned my top picks in India -

1) As you draw a warm bath, look out the window and admire views that are nothing short of awe-inspiring, at Manali.

2) These hand-carved, pink-stone Hammam bathtubs at are some of the largest in Jaipur!

3) Each rustic-luxe cottage with a large bedroom, attached bathroom and a private balcony with a whirlpool bath. Open the sliding doors to your bedroom and wake up to a view of the ocean.

4) - the most beautiful stay in Manali so far, with a open to air bathtub with bonfire area overlooking the magnificent Himalayan valleys.

5) A cradle of affordable luxury coloured by the local landscape, this Safari Lodge in Kabini offers the jungle getaway of lifetime, every time.

6) This resort is a true slice of heaven, tremendously endowed by nature. It sits on a green hill that straddles the deep-blue expanse of a lake and the majestic forests of the Western Ghats.

If you like what you saw, tag your travel partners and bathtub suckers and make a plan.

One of the finest hospitality I’ve experienced in the longest while.

Cocooned within tropical gardens, alongside a river and lush green paddy fields, Plataran Canggu Bali Resort & Spa is an oasis of amazing peace and tranquility – a secret hideaway disturbed only by the twitter of birdsong and the crickets’ hum. A delightful piece of forgotten Bali and authentic Balinese village life that lies just steps from the main street of Canggu, yet feels far removed from the madding crowd.

Learn the art of traditional Jamu-making, or master local recipes in a private cooking class. Strengthen your mind and body with the signature boot camp, yoga, and meditation sessions. Tour some of Bali’s most famous temples. Go mountain trekking or river rafting. Whatever your interests are, Plataran offers a multitude of activities for you to experience Bali and its unique culture in your own personalised journey.

Cost - starting from 10k a night inclusive of breakfast, High tea and a lot more.

Ri Kynjai- Serenity by the Lake

This boutique lakeside resort in Shillong, Meghalaya is as perfect for families seeking the ultimate all-round getaway. Lovers of authentic experiences will be particularly pleased with the architecture - inspired by the building ‘language’ of traditional Khasi cottages while incorporating the best of modern practices.
Supported on tall circular stilts on the terrace of the hotel blocks are the hybrid cottages derived from vernacular Khasi architecture. These cottages serve to portray the transition from tradition to modernity and have an interpretation of the traditional upturned boat roof done in metallic thatch fused to modern gables. Each cottage has a fireplace in the living/ bedroom area and the mezzanine floor has an additional bedroom arrangement.
Nature lovers can choose to luxuriate in perfectly appointed cottages, undergo traditional Khasi spa treatments and dine on local delicacies… the more adventurous may prefer the beautiful hill treks, boat rides and island picnics, and of course, a day at the Shillong Golf Course!

Rishikesh has been really close to my heart, I’ve been visiting Rishikesh since the past 6 years and it’s never enough. It’s one place I’d want to visit every year and make it an annual ritual.

I call it “my spiritual adventure” - a perfect mix of adventure + spirituality. Rafting, Bungee to all the temple run - if there is a perfect mix - it’s Rishikesh.

Soon making a travel guide for Rishikesh - stay tuned.

Meanwhile check out the top 9 Ganga facing hotels which are really close to the main Rishikesh market area too.

This property is one of the dreamiest stays in India. - Kanha Earth Lodge.

People keep asking me why do I post so much about these Jungle properties, but what people don’t know is the most swankiest properties in the country are found in these Jungles of India.

Kanha Tiger Reserve is spread over a sprawling area of 1,949 sq. kms, offering a distinctive natural habitat that abounds in wildlife and tiger population.

At Kanha Earth Lodge, tucked in a small hamlet, in 16 acres of natural forest, bordering Kanha’s buffer zone.

Kanha Earth Lodge is just located twenty-five minutes from the Khatia park gate, ensuring proximity to the Kanha Tiger Reserve, yet far from Kanha National Park’s tourist hub, thereby offering a pristine wilderness experience.

Twelve luxury cottages, inspired by Gond tribal architecture with open verandahs with unhindered and stunning views of the forests; make our guests stay idyllic. These environmentally sensitive, low-impact accommodations; are designed using local stone and waste wood. The absence of neighbouring lodges or thoroughfare creates an ideal setting for a peaceful and reflective time of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Happy Diwali 🪔
Diwali symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance"

Diwali today is recognised worldwide today and according to the latest update it’s declared a holiday in NYC too.

There are multiple reasons why Diwali is celebrated in India. Listing down something that’s close to my heart - Hindu Mythological reasons.

In one of the main stories in Hindu mythology, Diwali is the day Lord Rama, his wife Sita Devi and brother Lakshmana return to their homeland after 14 years in exile. The villagers lit a path for Rama, who had defeated the demon king Ravana. Reenactments of this story are part of celebrations in some regions.

Another Diwali story in Hindu mythology is that Diwali marks the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura and freed the people of his kingdom. After he slayed the demon, Lord Krishna declared it a day of festivities. In some parts of India, people burn effigies of the demon kings in both stories as part of the celebration.

People also celebrate the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi during Diwali. As the goddess of prosperity, wealth and fertility, the romantic Diwali story says that she chose Lord Vishnu, one of Hinduism’s most important deities, to be her husband on the night of Diwali.

In other cultures, Diwali coincides with harvest and new year celebrations. No matter which Diwali story you celebrate, it’s always a day of new beginnings and light over darkness.
