Like many middle-aged couples, we love to try adventure activities, but only if we are confident they are safe and comfortable. We avoid anything that seems too strenuous or risky. With this in mind, we chose four activities to try, and I’m happy to say they were all as adventurous, safe, and comfortable as we…

The next morning was all about Hanuman, our favourite monkey god and experiencing a small part of the Kishkidha Kandam in the epic Ramayana.

Hampi has been in my bucket list for a long time. Finally I made it to Hampi with my wife in early July, 2025. I had many concerns, weather being the most important one. However, to my surprise had a great 3 day visit to Hampi. The weather was excellent. A bit of rain, summer…
