The taste of Rajasthan

Rajasthan is mostly famous for vegetarian cuisine with a wide variety of dishes. Most popular ones being the Plain Ghevar, malai Ghevar and Jalebi in desserts; Kadhi, Ker-saangri and Gatte ki Sabzi in Curries; Bikaneri Bhujia, Mirchi Vada, Pyaaj Kachori & Mawa Kachori in Snacks and Dal Bhati Churma in Main course. While you're in Rajasthan do not miss out to try some of these.

We had a great experience trying out the local flavors in some of the best restaurants highlighted below:

Jodhpur: While in Jodhpur one cannot miss the rooftop candlelit dinner with amazing view of Mehrangarh fort lit in the backdrop and delicious food on your plate, it's an experience of a lifetime. One such is the Curry’s rooftop restaurant where we tried ker sangri.

For the local snacks in Jodhpur head out straight to the famous Janta sweet home at nai sarak road. Try out their kachori and mirchi vada.

Jaisalmer: the city is famous for romantic getaways so is its restaurants. While we enjoyed the fort view from the root top restaurant in Jodhpur, here in Jaisalmer it was vice-versa, yup we were at the rooftop restaurant inside the Jaisalmer fort with an amazing night view of the city below. Hotel Victoria offers some of the best views of the city with a romantic ambiance and mouth-watering food.

While in Jaisalmer one can also enjoy the rooftop experience with the amazing view of Jaisalmer fort & Mandir Palace from the Golden roof restaurant. If you want a closer view of Jaisalmer fort then its Jaisal Italy rooftop restaurant near to the fort gate.

Bikaner: In Bikaner one should try the local street foods on station road, Chhotu Motu Joshi Sweet Shop, Bhikharam Chandmal Bhujiawala among the popular ones. What we liked the most is the Malai Ghevar, apart from this there are Kachoris, Bhujia, Jalebi and generous lassi with a layer cream on top.

Jaipur: apart from forts, palaces and shopping, Jaipur is also famous for its wonderful restaurants and mouth-watering dishes. For the local foods try out Dal Bhati Churma, Sweet Kachori in Rawat Mishthan Bhandar. For a typical Rajasthan ambiance with good food and live music head to Peacock Rooftop restaurant.

Micromax Canvas 2 A110 Hands on Review

Micromax Superfone Canvas 2 A110(Jet Black/Calm White): After using it for a week, I felt pretty good about my decision for going with a new brand like Micromax over the mighty Samsung Galaxy S Duos and Sony Tipo Dual. Particularly not sure about its reliability but the build quality looks pretty decent. Below are my ratings for the phone aka Phablet. Build Quality (8/10): The build quality was above my expectations keeping in mind of the price tag, from front it looks just like a Galaxy high end smartphone like SIII or Note II. It has a matte finished back cover which is good for protection towards scratches and there is a metal casing all around the phone, which adds up the beauty of the phone. One more advantage of this phone is it has a touch home button instead of a hard button as seen in iPhone and Galaxy phones. Camera (5/10): [8MP autofocus (Tap to Focus), dual flash, supports up to 3264x2448 pixels, Panorama] Don't fall for the specs as it is said...

Trip to the Misty Hills of Kudremukh

Trip to the Misty Hills of Kudremukh: About Kudremukh: Kudremukh National Park is the second largest protected wildlife area in the Western Ghats (around 600 sq.kms). Three important rivers of Karnataka, the Tunga, Bhadra and Netravathi are said to have their origin in this area. Mist covered roads in Kudremukh All these can be reached within 80km. We first started with sringeri, which is famous for its Vidyashankara temple built in1342 AD. Reached Sringeri at 11am. There is a bridge Sri Vidya Teertha Setu across the Tunga river which connects from Vidyashankara temple to Sringeri Mutt. We had prasadam (lunch) at the mutt. There is one more temple called as Sharadamba temple which has lovely architecture built inside and photography is banned inside. The whole temple area is kept very clean and it was a pleasant experience to spend time in the temple complex. We then left at 12.30pm towards Kudremukh.

5 Places in Maharashtra you must visit atleast once

5 places in Maharashtra you Must Visit At Least once Maharashtra is a state best described as a land of cave temples, hilltop forts, and Mountains. Best time to explore them are the monsoons and post monsoons, definitely not in summers. These 5 places in Maharashtra are a must visit, 5. Lavasa The first planned hill station in India and probably the most controversial for the deforestation reasons. Even the road from Tehghar dam till Lavasa is spectacular with forest cover and green valleys. Best time to visit is during monsoons and post monsoons. Best time of the day is after the sun goes down with the entire city lighted up, and the musical fountains adding more flavour to the evening.

Masinagudi Jungle Trails : A Road Trip to Nilgiris

Masinagudi Jungle Trails : A Road Trip to Nilgiris - II All set and packed for a long road trip to Ooty, left Bangalore late at 8am. What to pack for a long road trips?? Click here The motive of the road trip was to voyage around less explored and adventurous places, rather than popular and easily accessible tourist destinations. To avoid Mysore traffic, we tried to explore another route from Mandya through Somnathapura to Nanjangud, but it turned out to be more tiring and longer route. We reached Bandipur forest check post only by 2pm. Driving through Bandipur forest is a pleasure, with good road conditions, greenery around and spotting wildlife was more exciting. In an intention to spot wildlife, and to maintain silence in the forest, we were driving steadily at 15kmph speed without using horn. We could spot a lot of deer herds, elephants, black bear, boar, Grey Langur monkeys and peacocks. Peacock spotted on the Bandipur Mudumalai stretch Elephant...
