Few Days in delhi with new vw car and then on a trip with Pam.

Sorry for late post, did not have time and when had time was thinking about how to get the website work as some crazy virus took over website and google god will now allow anyopen to open website but finally the site works again www.adventureholidaytours.com After my last trip i got my new VW car and its a nice decent car, i loved it and as well as Pam my other guest from canada loved it as well and thought it was awesome way to travel around india :-) You can also give a look to Pam's blog its  http://pamkocz.tumblr.com/ we had such a wonderful time together, she spend two days in village area then another two days in rishikesh which was really nice and we also did the caves and that off road i always do. This was a bit hard for pam as she doesn't like heights very much but we managed and she loved it all. It was actually a very similar trip to the last one that i did with Michelle and her daughter Kim, just the difference was i was dropping Pam in amritsar as her husb...

Shimla and toy train ride + Going back to Delhi

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...

Rishikesh to dehradun and around.

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 ...

Back on another nice trip with Australian Mom and daughter

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 ...

Bikaner to Mandawa.

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 ...

Jodhpur to Bikaner and Bikaner :-)

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,...

Udaipur - Jodhpur

Enjoyed some swimming in the pool and now watching some south indian movie :p rest day haha....... Later dinner and tomorrow to Bikaner :-)
