While planning the trip, I was hoping to do five safaris to get two sightings. While we could only go for three Safaris, all in the buffer zone, we were lucky enough to get three sightings. I tried to extend my luck to see if we could get any more Safaris which did not happen. …

We had two Safaris booked for the next day, both at the Zarri Peth Buffer of Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve. After the close sighting the previous evening, it would have been easy to expect a repeat performance. But forests rarely operate on expectation. It’s Mama Again The morning drive began in a familiar way—steady, quiet,…

Our first safari in Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve was in the Keslaghat buffer in the evening. By then, I had already adjusted my expectations. All our safaris were in buffer zones. No core entries. No guarantees. Just long forest tracks and hope. When we reached the gate, I realized why getting tickets was difficult. There…

December felt right for Tadoba, but not because of any grand plan. It was simply the window that worked for us as a family. We travelled between 17 and 19 December, 2025 keeping expectations deliberately modest. This was not about chasing zones or ticking boxes. It was about getting the basics right and letting the…

After a soul-stirring day at Ellora and Daulatabad Fort, my second day was to visit the Ajanta Caves,.

My trip to Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad) began with what I can only call a breathtaking plunge into history. Day 1 was dedicated to the magnificent Ellora Caves and the imposing Daulatabad Fort. Both sites left me in awe, not just of their scale and artistry, but also of the stories they continue to tell through…

Beaches are always alluring. Having grown up in Chennai with Marina Beach nearby, visiting the beach has always been a fond childhood memory. After moving to Hyderabad 28 years ago, I visited beaches much less often. I’ve had the chance to see beaches in Goa, Mauritius, and Antigua, so I wasn’t expecting Andaman to be…

When you are in Andaman, you walk through the corridors of Indian history, especially the story of our freedom struggle. You learn how the colonial powers treated those who dared to raise their voice for freedom. Three places are particularly important: the Cellular Jail, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Island (formerly Ross Island), and the Tiranga…

For me, the Andaman Islands have always been linked to India’s freedom struggle. The names “Kalapani” and “Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose” immediately come to mind whenever I hear of Andaman. I clearly remember watching Kaalapani, a popular Malayalam movie based on the life of Veer Savarkar, on its first day in theaters. It was a…

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…
