Incredible India?
We’ve heard all kinds of things about India long before deciding to explore it by ourselves. We listened to the stories of our Indian friends during the time that we spent on cruise ships and we spoke to travelers who visited India and who felt in love with it after traveling in the country long […]
New Delhi – the Capital City of India
New Delhi impressed us since the moment we got close to the city while traveling by bus from Agra, with its modern buildings and the complex infrastructure. But the closer we got to the old streets and the touristic areas, the less charm we found. New Delhi is the capital of India and its second-largest […]
The city of Agra and the beautiful Taj Mahal
Ever since we arrived in Jaipur, we could feel that we were traveling on a more touristic route. We took the train from Jaipur to Agra, arriving late in the evening in a crowded station and soon after at our hostel, somewhere in the vicinity of Agra’s and India’s most famous landmark, the Taj Mahal. […]
Jaipur – the Pink City of India
After visiting “The Golden City” Jaisalmer and “The Blue City” Jodhpur, we couldn’t have left the Thar Desert without stopping in the “Pink City”, Jaipur, the capital city of Rajasthan and one of India’s largest cities. It is also one of the three destinations forming the famous Golden Triangle touristic circuit, along with Agra and […]
Jodhpur – India with a shade of blue
It was early in the morning when we left our beautiful room at Fifu Hotel, where we spent an incredible time during our Workaway project in India. Soda, the driver with whom we did also the safari in the desert, dropped us with the jeep at the train station. It was our first train ride […]
A night under the sky of the Thar Desert
Every day of our stay in Jaisalmer was a great experience, for the food, for the people and for the chance to discover always something new and exciting in this beautiful city. But the most exciting experience of all was spending the night in the silence of the desert, under a sky full of stars. […]
Fifu Hotel in Jaisalmer – our third Workaway project
As we planned a longer stay in India, we decided to dedicate some of our time to volunteering in the northwestern Indian state of Rajasthan, choosing as destination the closest city to the wilderness of the desert, Jaisalmer. We didn’t find just a beautiful city there, but also the silence, which was completely absent in […]
The Golden City Jaisalmer
What makes India truly special is its incredible diversity. From the seaside to the high Himalayan Mountains the landscape and the people change dramatically, leaving place for an endless number of experiences. But the best of our experiences was the one we had in the Great Thar Desert, the most populous desert in the world. […]
Mumbai – the mega metropolis of India
Home to more than 18 million people, Mumbai is one of the mega cities of the world. Known as the economic capital of India, it offers access to most destinations in the country and a set of particular experiences to travelers that are curious enough to lose themselves in this gigantic island city. Transportation in […]
Goa – India’s favorite beach destination
It was at the end of monsoon time when we arrived in India and most of the west coast was affected by the rain. We’ve been told that Goa looks more beautiful during the monsoon and while the sun isn’t necessarily the first thing we search for when we travel to a beach area, we […]
Bengaluru (Bangalore) – our first stop in India
Before our arrival in India we were warned by many travelers and, mostly, by the local people in Sri Lanka that India is not a pleasant destination to travel to. We’ve been told about the dirt, the garbage and the animals in the streets. But India has always been a country that we wanted to […]
