Adventure Holiday Tours India and Slovenia

So the day started wonderfully with a nice exercise as not always haha and was ready before we planned to leave our hotel for Shimla visit. Lekhu and me had some good omelette at one of the nice little restaurant not so far from the hotel we were staying at, was lovely. The road to Shimla is a bit pretty and we all enjoyed it, it was only about 60kms to Shimla from the hotel that we were staying.. So was not a long drive, in only about 1hr 30mins we were there and entering the city was a bit crazy as the traffic started , roads in Shimla are not so wide and everybody have to stuck on their lines and because there was some construction going on so lekhu had to drive us a long way to get back to parking. In the end we made it and too a lift to go up to the mall road which is the most famous road in and around Shimla area. Mall road is amazing shopping area and you can get alot of stuff like clothes, very old paintings but very expensive old paintings without any big discount.... NO DI...

Had wonderful beginning of day yesterday with lovely omelette and chai. We started for Dehradun with a hope to see some elephants on the way as its very much possible to see some around these jungle highways. We even saw sambhar dear baby yesterday which was cool and very different, he looked very happy :-).. No luck with elephant but discovered a new place with little following river made specially for summer enjoyment for the families, me and lekhu did swim and Aussies were enjoying sitting at one of the quite part. After that we went to sahastradhara this is a very small town with a hill top garden where one can reach by cable car, lovely view of the valley from there and its only about 12kms from there. Later we thought to take them to hotel and let them rest a bit before visiting bhatta falls which was a very good idea as this water fall is surrounded by nature with only peacefulness and only one tea stall where we did have some nice chai. This was my second time here after with ...

So we made it back to Delhi with sue and she left India with smile and I will be seeing her next year again for some other part of India. Spent some very boring days in Delhi sitting in office but some very interesting as well, as of course i love giving temple and walking tour of old Delhi , managed to get some people. Now on a trip with Aussies. Lovely Mom and daughter very easy going. The tour started with a little stop in village and it was my visit to village after a long time as i spend over a month travelling on the other direction with Sue. Love meeting Jyoti my lovely cousin sister, she is the boss of the family and manage to keep it all under control. Aussies loved it as i guess things here are so different and not even close to what it is like in Australian villages i guess. After this visit i took them to their hotel but they wanted to come back again to meet Jyoti and get some henna design made on their hand. I stayed in the village with lekhu the driver who ...

Today was a bit hard on me as didn't sleep well, probably coz the bed was too soft, I love hard bed :p.... We had beautiful breakfast in our beautiful restaurant and the guy serving us was nice too so the beginning of day was definitely going to be interesting as all the other days.. Good that roads today were all empty and smooth, loved these smooth roads during this time traveling, going to miss it when driving up north really. I love driving but these roads were so much like when I was driving around Europe or turkey....so boring but we made it to point where I woke up as the holes started and it gave me feel that we are closer to the end of the trip :p haha... In Mandawa the second time now and it was lovely time the last time I was here and it was a lovely day today as well in here. Very quite city with not much honking..going to miss it when in Delhi tomorrow. We made a little walk and later I washed my car in the garden of this beautiful hotel we were staying at , feels ...

As had nothing much yesterday so thought to combine yesterday and today :-) Yesterday was very boring drive from jodhpur to Bikaner as no offroad, and you know how these straight roads drive me nuts or banana as sue says haha. Bikaner is great the first great thing was our hotel. We arrived from boring ride and then straight away in swimming pool after check inn :-) felt like this entire hotel is for us as there were no other guest. Love swimming really. After wonderful swim we drove in the city for some nice dinner and yes it was a very nice dinner at one of the hotel roof top, we had butter chicken and a few papaya lassi, papaya lassi is awesome.. Then later drove back to the hotel and after wonderful sleep, had wonderful breakfast and then sightseeing time finally. We drove to junagarh fort which is cool, must visit. Bikaner is a nice place and fort was one of the main attraction and later we drove 30km from here to see the rat temples , believe me it was a real experience,...

Day started as usual, waking up anytime and then after quick shower breakfast at most beautiful place :-), love this restaurant and people as well, as they all smile and I love it. Started the trip and TomTom took a short cut which was off-road for about 100kms and it was very nice, glad i go with tomtom's suggestion as otherwise it wouldn't have been so interesting, there were some mountains as well and i love these mountain roads, now after long drive in jodhpur. Enjoyed some swimming in the pool and now watching some south indian movie :p rest day haha....... Later dinner and tomorrow to Bikaner :-)

A beautiful city to spend time in after all the long distance traveling. Had nice breakfast inn hotel, fruits omelette and potato parantha, by the way I have been trying to control diet so my stomach is not terribly out by the end of this trip haha so had no paranthas for a few days. Today car had rest and I just took a tuk tuk. with sue and went to the market near city palace but wasn't too tempting as it was very touristic and we ended up walking around some local markets which was nice and interesting for sue, later we had nice lassi in one of the restaurant where we could just sit and do people watching which is always interesting in India ;-), I llove it ..... We also sat near the lake and saw some kids swimming in the lake, and they were really having fun. Its a beautiful calm city depends on how you see it and who you are with :-) Now back in hotel after a nice chai tea at hotel restaurant. After a little rest going for nice dinner :-) wonderful dinner after wonderful ...

Nice breakfast at lemon tree hotel, sometimes luxury isn't bad ;-), chicken sausage reminded me of some previous trips out of India where I loved it. Left about 9am and was a bit caos to get out of the city with a bit of traffic but after about 30-40mins we were out on mmain roads again good roads, love them and probably going to miss it all when I go to village home  again and roads there are not so good but love the view of Ganges while taking the off road to village ;-) Today as well I saw changing scenery and already thinking about starting some tours of this area as my drivers and me myself would love doing it as its interesting and roads are amazing with always something interesting going on. It took me a while to find hotel in Udaipur as internet on phone stopped working but still made it,, there was a very kind man who told me to come behind him , he was on his tuktuk kind of thing and he showed me the way:-) we have some really wonderful people here who just go out ...

Started the day with omelette and some nice hot shower. I love driving and glad that I am indian and not afraid of any traffic, otherwise it would be difficult. Today the traffic was a bit mad as Surat is probably the biggest city that I have been in almost 3/4 weeks, took some time but we made it to highway which was clean and clear same as in Europe, awesome when you don't have to change the gear as in north you change gear often. Loved it and later after arriving in Ahmedabad took sue for some sightseeing and visited some nice very local market, nice I enjoyed it. In the evening made a little walk around the hotel and went to law garden for some food and it was awesome same as in Thailand how they have open restaurants with chairs outside. Was really nice dinner and now back for some sleep. Tomorrow to Udaipur, getting closer to the end now as sue will be flying back home on 9th April, enjoy your evening.
