Adventure Holiday Tours India and Slovenia

Day started at about 5:30am when I was thinking if to get up or not :p, did make it out of hotel about 7am so good, leaving early is awesome as the temperature is good and traffic is less. I had to take same road for about 100kms that I took while coming to Ellora, after 100s I thought to make a short cut so we see something new and new roads and village. Believe me I do get into adventurous positions where my guests think I am their hero as trying to show them some real real India, I do try but I also care about my small car :p Took this short cut and by mistake took a wrong turn as I didn't see the right turn, and made it to some small villages and guess as usual sue probably was the only tourist made it to these village roads and guess first Delhi guy on Delhi car haha. There was time when I thought I was not so far from my village as the roads were so similar to some of the field side roads in my village. Some of the bumps were hard to see and i by mistake hit the gear box ch...

A wonderful beginning of day with some cheese omelette and toast. We drove to the caves and caves were absolutely amazing so old , for once I felt it was so similar to ankhor wat in cambodia. There are about 34 caves from which 16th number is the best and really the best will ad some photos on the facebook page of Adventure holiday tours , India soon so you can all have a look. Later we drove to Aurangabad and so this copied Taj Mahal which was just cool, not so much like taj but does give a little feel of it. The crown inside was absolutely similar to the one inside real Taj Mahal. Beautiful town with a lot of really old structures, specially the one to enter the city, view of some mountain top fort was really nice.. After this amazing afternoon we were driving back to Ellora to hotel and thought to eat some lunch and found a nice dhaba ( road side restaurant ) was just awesome had chicken that was made in their own dhaba style awesome, delicious chicken after long time as really ...

Today was a nice very early morning. Woke uup with wiki wiki alarm clock at 5am and was ready to drive sue to Ajanta/Ellora caves. Had a little toast and tea for breakfast at 6am , were ready to leave for another about 350kms drive, very interesting drive really,  it just changes so much the scenery and its wonderful driving around this kind of area and I personally loved it. Some of the highways were awesome again during this drive no holes until near Ellora caves and some of the mountains were really steep like Himalaya,, sue was a bit afraid for the first time and I thought really? We have driven through so crazy Himalaya roads and now here she is afraid where traffic was very slow because of trucks ? Well I am a good driver its only the way slow trucks were going up and coming down so totally understandable but am use to it so for me its so normal specially after the ladhak trip on motorbike. Made it to ellora by 01pm and beautiful hotel with garden from where you can see t...

So we were staying in a road side hotel near Dhar, very quite place and staff was lovely and a bit shocked as I am sure they do not see many foreigners around here but sue wasn't shocked as she is use to these shocked looks haha. Nice little breakfast and then we drove around 20kms to mandu and found another nice place to stay known as Malwa resort they swimming pool as well but not all that great, I didn't feel very good this morning, thought got some flew but afternoon sightseeing and drive around one of the loveliest scenery of small villages with smile on everybody's face made me feel so good :-) Mandu is an amazing place with so many little destroyed structure, I am not so good in history but this stop made me think a lot what this could have been and the view from one of the palace to valley was quite beautiful and unexpected. I will upload some pics in our facebook page Adventure holiday tours, India so you can have a look that its a beautiful place. View from the...

Good day with easy morning and later after breakfast left for thinking we are going to Ahmedabad but in the middle of the trip my mind worked and thought this route might not be the best ao thought of doing it other way like going to this small town mandu in MP ( Madhya Pradesh ) another beautiful state with not so good roads at the moment but its under construction. All was well just the driving got a bit long I was driving from about 10am till 9pm with just one stop for lunch at one place which was good idea as that's where I planned to come to mandu instead of ahemdabad, now might even go to ajanta ellora caves day after tomorrow which will be really nice as have never been there and heard only good things about this this place. When we entered MP it was really cool, as the clouds where shouting about rain and we saw some really wet road so there was a lot of rain before we have arrived in that road and it had cool down the weather, which was really nice and another beautiful...

Today was early morning. Started at about 4 something am and started driving towards Bhavnagar as wanted to make it before the cricket match started at 9am. Guess what I was using TomTom and google map so no wrong street will come but this time google map thought we were walking and took us to smallest possible street but I managed to get out after a few directions from lovely people, when they see a foreigner wth you then they help you even more nicely haha no just kidding they would still help. We are nice people.. We made it to bhavnagar just a little later then 9am and Cricket game was interesting and Australia won but was a nice game in the beginning. No more talking about cricket now as have to work and show sue around. So took her to a victoria park here in Bhavnagar which was nice and we even saw a deer there, female deer, they call them sambha deer in India. Some interesting type of stork as well which was interesting and unexpected, by the way while walking around this area...

Today started with some not so good sleep I guess maybe because of the chlorine water in my eye but feels much better this morning then last night. Had nice fruit with yogurt in breakfast and trying to skip some fatty paratha kind of breakfast while traveling :-) , so todays plan was to go visit the Diu Fort and St.paul church, we made a round around the island with car which was fun passing nice area with small village and some very beautiful/impressive temples with so many different colors. Diu fort is quite amazing, it was built around 16th century and the walls still look quite strong and am sure it can go for years. After a nice walk around fort I took sue to the church which was another beautiful building and very old, we were just talking about how they use to make some really very strong buildings in past, even the church building looked very big and strong. We sat there for a while and later drove back to hotel and started some walk around the beach. As was feeling really ...

Today was a wonderful morning, started with the cricket match between south Africa and new Zealand, saw for about an hour then after breakfast left for Diu our next destination, interesting one as it use to be Portuguese island until 1961 when India took over it. Car worked absolutely perfect and smooth she is ready for another wonderful 3-4000kms till we are back in Delhi, didn't tell anyone but my car is she and her name is Basanti ;-) we have been  together for long and have driven her a lot around everywhere specially Himalaya. So we left and saw some interesting roads. TomTom tried to bring us to some short cut again but glad that road was closed and as now I have been using google map also so it has been working quite well. Roads and people and trees everything was changing a bit and as i said something about Nigerian/African people I just think its there 2nd or 3rd generation in this area as they are almost everywhere and they are Gujarati :-) its crazy but nice to know h...

had beautiful evening yesterday and this morning a little walk around the river side was awesome and very interesting as we saw a crocodile on the other side of river last night haha, but still nice walk with no crocodile today but a lot of nice birds and people. After a nice walk swim around pool was just so nice feels like its my own holiday haha. Now after lunch I have left to pick up the car from garage a little walk through the village with sun right on top is not pleasant but sitting at tea shop waiting for bus is very interesting :-) , Didn't got the bus but managed to get into one of those little four wheeler shared taxi, finally felt I am a little over size indian for these little taxis. Interesting thing was that I saw really beautiful little girl,, must have been around 8, but really really beautiful. The driver of this taxi was a guy who could actually be a Nigerian /african but guess their generation around here is from long time as they were really fluent in Gujarat...

So it all started when Sue asked me to take her to some non-touristic part of India. Last time when she was here it was last year around October and l took her to some real non-touristic part around Himalayas and some of those places were new to me as well and as i can speak some different languages so it was easy to understand people and get the best of everything. This time i planned on taking her to Gujarat, i have passed some cities of Gujarat while traveling towards Mumbai once but never had a close look and now i see hoe beautiful part of India it is and so non-touristy really. We started in Delhi, were in pushkar - jodhpur - mount-Abu, and then the Gujarat adventure started, believe me the roads here are absolutely much better then in northern India, felt like i was driving in Europe around alps when i drove there 2013 beginning. Our first stop in Gujarat was bhuj, i already booked a nice accommodation with swimming pool as we were going to be there for three nights, bhu...
