Adventure Island, New Delhi - India

We went to this one day picnic spot in month of May, when its pretty hot in Delhi. The place was easily reachable being near Rithala Metro Station. It was a decent drive apart from the normal Delhi traffic which we are anyways used to. We parked the car conveniently and got our tickets from the counter. A huge bridge across an arificial lake welcomed us. It’s a large open space with lots of fun filled activities for children. We went with our cousins. My kids already started enjoying the ambience. There was another interesting thing awaiting- Chhota Bheem brand shop starting with all kid's games, toy weapons to cycles and what not. It was around noon that we entered the amusement park.

Golden Temple, Amritsar- India

Amritsar – home to the “Golden temple “. I was blessed to visit this holy city with my family in August, 2013.  We boarded Amritsar Shatabdi express  to Amritsar in the morning from Delhi. All of us were eager to visit this religious and historic place.

Well , as we reached Amritsar station by noon , we saw a replica of the golden temple at the station itself.

We had checked in a hotel which was a walking distance away from the Golden temple to be able to reach the holy place multiple times without any hassle. This time we did not book any package stay with meals to enjoy Amritsar street food. There are restaurants and hotels to cater to all budgets. After relaxing for a while , we went  to Golden temple complex in the evening. Sikhs visit this holy shrine from all over the world.

Sarovar and Golden temple

The cool wind was blowing as we started walking around the sarovar. In the evening, reflection of gurudwara in holy waters was a spectacular sight. The upper floors of the temple were covered in Gold by Maharaja Ranjit Singh – giving its spectacular view & the English name.

Pratapgarh farms, Haryana- India....one day outing

We went on a day’s picnic to Pratapgarh farms near Jhajjar when our family friend told us. The drive was nice and scenic as well as the place. It was not difficult to reach as we had people and signboards guiding us. You will have to go via Badli to reach Jhajjar. 

We went there in February which was a comfortable weather because the farms are open and one can enjoy under the sky. Best time to visit is between October and March. Rest of the year will be hot in summers and there can be swamps during rainy season which can make the drive and visit both uncomfortable. Last stretch of road is muddy and difficult to drive..............We then started our joyride with ethenic games like pithoo , Archery, Dart and Air gun shooting.

Archery

Tried our hand at Gulee Danda. This was followed by Camel, Bullock Cart and Tractor ride. Kids were very happy to enjoy these rides in the greenery.
