Neem Karoli Baba in Kainchi Dham is a pine-sheltered ashram carved between scissor-shaped bends near Nainital. This is where legends of the spontaneous healings, and Silicon Valley epiphanies converge. Founded in 1964, the sanctuary still reverberates with Maharaj-ji’s three-word gospel—Love, Serve, Remember God—while volunteers prepare five-lakh-plate feasts every 15 June.

We’ve all seen the postcard-perfect images of the Taj Mahal—the ultimate symbol of love and a marble masterpiece. But what if I told you that India’s architectural grandeur extends far beyond this one monument?

I was a bit skeptical about leaving the well-trodden tourist trail, but

These iconic and legendary hotels—once majestic palaces, royal forts, and colonial landmarks—have been lovingly restored to offer travellers the ultimate blend of tradition and modern indulgence.

Durga Puja. The very words conjure an image of a city bathed in neon light, a metropolis of more than 15 million people that transforms into a living, breathing art gallery. If you think a festival is just a series of rituals, think again. Kolkata’s Durga Puja is an emotional, creative, and cultural phenomenon that will challenge everything you know about travel.
