Fort Kochi Attraction- My Solo Kerala Travel Guide on a Budget – #GodsOwnCountry

One of the widely visited cities in Kerala, separated by water-ways from the main city Kochi, Fort Kochi still has the 19th century European look intact in every corner of it (only seeing men wearing the mundus will bring one back to India); Fort Kochi is historically well preserved and upgraded to tourist friendliness and vibrantly painted on the white lucent alleys. And the very best way to explore the town is by foot. Get onto light clothes and comfy sneakers or slippers to explore the place by walking and the rainbow town will amaze you.

Biennale Art Exhibition- Fort Kochi, Kerala Travel- 2019

I didn’t have any idea of what Biennale meant or was or could be, till I went to Fort Kochi and a heart full of gratitude to my host, who mentioned the word ‘Biennale’ to me. Biennale is an International Art Exhibition held worldwide at different times and on an alternative year basis. Artists across the world can take part in it, and whats more.. tourists, aesthetes across the globe travel to attend such events. (And I just didn’t have a clue about it!!) Every possible existing form of art is showcased on this 4 months long event. This biennial event is silently herculean, apart from its actual showcase forum, i.e. the Aspinwall House there are 12 other venues where artists can project their creativity.

My Solo Kerala Tour- Trip to Kerala aka #GodsOwnCountry on a Budget

The Southernmost state of India, #Kerala is dominance of Grue. Lambent of parti-colours have forgotten their boundaries here, reflection of blue and green have been brushed liberally all across the tarpaulin region. Kerala is not my first time visit, 4 years ago when I had been here, I had made up my mind for many revisits and this is the first of it.

Kerala is not about loud excursions, running with suitcase and camera at the same time, golloping some edible tummy fillers or sleep till the scientifically notified general quota (which is 8 hours) allows; rather #Kerala is all about, being Echidnas, stretching in slow motion, sleeping till late morning, curl up at the beach with a book and beer and keep a distance from foster chemicals, and puff up the tummy by slurping wholesome Southern savouries.

Jaipur Travel Guide on a Budget- @ Rajasthan Tour

The travel distance between Pushkar to Jaipur is about 3 hours by road. Jaipur, also named the Pink city, is the capital city of Rajasthan and the busiest city of this state. Even a must visit city for many first timers to Rajasthan, especially who come for the golden triangle trip (Delhi-Agra- Jaipur) to get a hint of Royal Indian culture. But let me be very clear that an only visit to Jaipur cannot be enough to get the flavour of this vivacious state in India. Jaipur can be a tiddly glimpse of the saga which can be to- some- extent the brief trailer and this I am saying after a long 10-12 days tour of the state (even this 12 days were very less to see the majors)

After Ajmer Sharif, the journey to Pushkar takes another 1-1:30 hours. By the time we reached out hotel, it was half an hour left for A.M. to take to take over. For sure the entire days strenuous touring, needed for some comfort food and a soft and cleanly done cozy bed.

Pushkar is a small town in Rajasthan, very famous for its 1 week long yearly camel fair. A huge sand clad fair ground gets alive during the fair season, otherwise that same place looks like a deserted stadium for rest of the year. Now-a-days camel ride or camel cart rides are widely available here as well just like Jaisalmer, only I doubt about the evening dance show. Apart from this, the prior attraction is Lake Pushkar after which the town has been named.
