Darjeeling – The queen of Hill stations

Indian Voyage by Familyonthewheels

Our Travel tale to Darjeeling

India has a very different temperature than the United Kingdom. It is a known fact that Britishers were always in search of cool places in the pre-independence era. In a way, they not only explored but also developed many hill stations in India. That’s’ the reason some of the breath-taking train circuits like Kalka – Shimla Circuit, Nilgiri Mountain circuit, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railways, are all located in the mountain ranges. Few of them are already listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Among all the places, Darjeeling has been on the wishlist of travel junkies, … Continue Reading

Memories are precious, imprint them!

It’s not always the future , but sometimes the past which inspires and motivates us . The best way to seek them is to revisit the precious moments from our memory bank .

In this digital world , where we click more than we can store, it is impossible to highlight the memories which really matter to us. One way is to filter and mark them as favourite in your laptop or  phone, but you’re sure not to revisit those memories that frequently.

Poovar Island was the last backwaters we did during our fabulous Kerala break recently. Reading out some really amazing reviews, Team #FOTW thought to give it a try while staying at Trivandrum and after enjoying at Kovalam beach.
