Wonders of India

Taking short trips has always been my thing. I might as well call myself a nomad sticking to our ancestral origins but that wouldn’t it completely true. I often opt for Online Bus Booking to get me to destinations i want to visit. Since it’s quick and easy and helps me from not standing in menial queues. From all the places i have been too these are a few that have stuck to me and made me feel more connected to my own country.
THE Taj Maha; is considered the world’s most beautiful building and most certainly the number 1 tourist attraction in India. “A teardrop on the face of eternity.” as truly described. No matter how many times you see it in photos and videos, no matter how often and extravagantly it is praised, nothing prepares you for the first time when you walk through the red sandstone gates and behold it in real life as it’s true self. Seeing the Taj Mahal for the first time restored my faith in man’s ability to create something this divine. I went on a very hot day in late March 2006, and for some reason there weren’t many people there that day. I walked into the mausoleum almost alone
THE HIMALAYAS, the world’s greatest mountain range at about 2,400 kilometres long with most of the planet’s highest peaks. From the Sivalik foothills to the mighty Kangchenjunga in Sikkim, I had many incredible experiences and sights in the Himalayas. But my first Himalayan experiences will forever be imprinted on my mind as it chanced upon the spiritual home at the Aurovalley Ashram near Rishikesh, which at the edge of the Shivaliks. I arrived tired after an early morning train journey from Delhi and immediately chose to take a nap in my airy white room. I woke up half-an-hour later feeling ever so more refreshed than I have before from a short sleep.
RAJASTHAN, the biggest state in India, and home to one of the world’s largest deserts and a vibrant, traditional culture, is also one of the touristy states in the country. There is a reason, imagine majestic forts and palaces, enthusiastic festivals, time-honoured rituals and scenes of incredible beauty featuring camels, peacocks, bright saris and huge colourful turbans. It’s the picture-postcard version of India and I can never get enough of it.
KERALA is on the South Indian state along the Arabian Sea coastline and a mountainous interior. Like Rajasthan and Goa, it is also one of the most popular tourist regions of India. Tropical beaches and a relaxed vibe are its main attractions. But Kerala has much more to offer in terms of culture and geography, including the extremely famous Backwaters, the port town of Kochi, the green scapes of tea plantations of Munnar, the Ayurvedic resorts scattered all long the state and the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary, to name a few.  

Such travels bring more life to you than you expect and you always happen to carry experiences with you that go with you a long way. There’s a reason why i tend to opt for OnlineBus Booking, travelling by bus makes me see that side of India which i would miss, the people , the interiors, the culture so close and so alive than ever.
