Live Like A King In India (At Least For A Day Or Two)

India’s surely 1 of those countries the place its sheer magnitude is at times really hard to get your head about. Take for example the truth that in 1947 the nation was comprised of 565 princely states, most of which was residence to their own extravagant palaces.

What, you say, not material with shacking up in a hostel for your total trip to the sub-continent? You are in luck. A lot of of these estates have opened their doors and provide vacationers the probability for a tiny royal remedy of their personal (we can dream, right?). Beware, your budget will have to be able to withstand a hit of at least a handful of thousand bucks.

There are a couple of exceptions. Consider for illustration Udaipur’s Lake Palace in Rajasthan, where for about $400 a evening you can shack up in 1 of the country’s most iconic buildings. (Bear in mind how Anthony Bourdain boated out here in his India episode for a martini nightcap?)

For something a little far more landlocked, the nearby Umaid Bhawan Palace, the 26-acre, 347-area behemoth — explained to be one particular of the  biggest residences in the planet — also doubles as a hotel for people ready to invest the $400 a night.

For the rest of us nestled up in nearby hostels, a lot of palaces are open to the public, like Agra Fort. Just northwest of the Taj Mahal, this UNESCO World Heritage web-site is only a handful of bucks to get in, and a fantastic way to see what it was like to be a Mughal leader in the 16th century (the solution is: superior).

The Amazing Punta Banda Peninsula in Ensenada

If you visit the port city of Ensenada, chances are you are going to be offered a tour to La Bufadora, a famous blowhole located on the Punta Banda Peninsula. For many, La Bufadora has become one of Ensenada’s top attractions.  As a consequence, it is a bit difficult to take off the entire area out of the “tourist trap” list. However, I believe Punta Banda is worth well a visit due to its natural, rugged beauty.  You can find cliff vistas, sea stacks, and small coves.  On a sunny day, the place is just gorgeous. On this article, I want to cover the area from the touristic and non-touristic perspectives.  I’ll let you choose how you want to visit. About Punta Banda Ensenada is located in the Todos Santos (All Saints) Bay.  The southern portion of the bay is delineated by the Punta Banda Peninsula, a finger-like strip of land. Almost at the tip of the peninsula (at the end of the paved road), you are going to find La Bufadora, a feature described as a marine geyser or tidewater bl...

30 Things to do in Nuremberg, Germany: The Ultimate List!

Looking for things to do in Nuremberg, Germany? This list has you covered with everything from the touristy musts to quirkier offbeat finds. Enjoy! I’ll be real: Nuremberg is a place that’s   easy to fall for. This world-famous city, located in the north of Bavaria, is every bit the fairytale dream so often linked to  Deutschland : candy cane half-timbered facades, an epic castle on a hill, dangerously munchable gingerbread, and a glittering Christmas market to boot. But as with most amazing cities, the true magic of Nuremberg comes from its dynamic layers. Lurking beneath those photogenic facades is a dark past intertwined with war, genocide, and centuries of tumultuous history. It is precisely this duality that makes Nuremberg one of the most fascinating cities to visit in Germany, and one that you can keep visiting again and again. So, what is there to do in Nuremberg? It turns out, plenty of things. Below you’ll find a roundup of my favourite things to do in ...

How to do the Kjerag hike, Norway

Planning to do the Kjerag hike and take one of the most incredible pics of your life? You’re on the right page.  Kjerag (the mountain) and Kjeragbolten (the boulder) has became very popular over recent years, especially because of social media, and nowadays thousands of Instagrammers from all over the world come to do the Kjerag hike and get the daredevil no-photoshopped picture. On the top of Kjeragbolten, Norway. After spending one and half day in Olso in the beginning of August of 2015, I took a flight to Stavanger. There are plenty of flights from Oslo to Stavanger, and prices can be as low as 25.00 euros. As I was by myself and not planing to rent a car, I opted for this city as a start point to my hikes in Norway because during the high season there is a bus from Stavanger to Kjerag (Øygardstøl). After a 50min flight, a bus from the airport to Stavanger’s terminal, and a 15min walk I arrived at the hotel. I just checked-in, drooped off my stuff and went to explore ...
