Review- On Kourse restaurant at Karma Lakelands, Gurgaon

I had gone to Karma Lakelands some two years ago. Our stay at the property was so good that we all wanted to re visit. Last time we had great dining experience at restaurant On Kourse. This time also, I wanted to enjoy the same experience. This time I was with my bigger immediate family having all ages.

Ambiance at On Kourse

One special thing that I have observed with restaurants at Karma Lakelands is that they provide ample space for activities for all ages by the dining area. That takes care of all kind of guests. Kids get to run around in the lawns or play table tennis, squash or even Carrom Board.

Even adults both senior and junior enjoy such games. There is a sit out area by the restaurant where nature lovers can sit and delight themselves with the sight of nature.

A restaurant must experience - Under The Neem, Karma Chalets, Gurgaon

Very few restaurants are there in Delhi/Gurgaon that make you experience nature and food together. Isn't it? Nowadays, specially, if you find one, you will be its loyal customer. Something like this has happened with me. I have fallen in love with the restaurant- Under The Neem at Karma Chalets, sector 80, Gurugram. This restaurant blends with nature such that you actually talk to nature while savoring food.

I had gone there with my family which includes all ages. There was not only food for all ages, but also activities for all ages!

It is a unique concept for a restaurant to have activities that too for all ages. This is what their USP is all about. What to talk about their USP! You name it and one is better than the other. Food, Ambiance and service. You will love everything there. The menu is a seasonal one. Following a ‘farm to table’ concept, guests can also take a walk around the vegetable garden right next-door to see where the produce comes from.

Brilliant performance and excellent entertainment at Tjapukai show, Cairns- Australia

During our trip to Australia, we had heard alot about aboriginals. Aboriginals are the actual residents of Australia. Now, Aboriginal population is only 10%-12% of total population in Australia. The initial lifestyle of aboriginals used to be in forests of Australia. As per what I could understand, they used to lead a life similar to aadiwaasis of India. During the trip, we were scheduled to witness Tjapukai Show by Aboriginals in Cairns.

  Tjapukai

The usage of wood, stone etc was very much prevalent at that time. What I noticed in a presentation for aboriginals was that they had features similar to Indians.

When we entered the venue, it was a pleasant feeling. First of all we had some delicious snacks and a special refreshing drink.

Sydney Sea Life, a must experience place when in Sydney, Australia

I had heard a lot about the Sydney Sea Life. We all were super excited to see the aquarium. After completing the round of stunning wildlife, we entered the aquarium. One of the first few sea animals we saw were a variety of sea horses. It was so nice to see them in life for the first time. I had seen them in my science lab classes during school days. Loved this sight.

These were so tiny horses. My kids were thrilled to see them.

As we moved further, we saw a variety of fishes of different colours. It was a different world altogether.

Bhalughat waterfalls, the perfect trekking for beginners - nature walk n falls near Mukteshwar

Have you ever heard of Bhalughat? Well, I was not aware of Bhalughat!! Its a hidden gem- a waterfalls near Mukteshwar. When I visited Parvada Bungalows just a week back, I learnt from the authorities about this falls. They had arranged a trip to Bhalughat for us. Both me and my friend- Meenakshi J Iyer were very excited to visit.

  Bhalughat

This one being unheard by me, I was even more curious specially by the name. It had this name because bears used to come down to this falls for drinking water. It was raining that day when we reached the entrance of falls.

  Responsible Tourism Points

We learnt that there was a trekking for some time. I was a bit skeptical to trek during rain but was also curious and eager to reach the falls as I just love waterfalls. I would slowly and steadily put my foot down on the rocks while ensuring that my foot doesn't slip , it being rainy and muddy. The path was beautiful and laden with lovely flowers all around.

Parvada Bungalows, a destination to relax, rejuvenate and revitalize

Parvada Bungalows, a luxury home stay is situated in Parvada Village just about 5 kms from Mukteshwar in Uttarakhand.

Parvada Bungalows

It took us about 2.5 to 3 hours to reach from Kathgodam Railway Station to Parvada Bungalows. Although, it was very hot at Kathgodam but as we reached the Bungalows, it was a pleasant weather. The whole place was soaked in greenery and fresh air.

Close up

There was serene beauty of hills that was creating hypnotic views. At the entrance itself, I simply wanted to stand . breathe and feel the cool breeze around. The area was so refreshing that I thought my lungs will turn pink soon again. There was a flight of stairs leading upto the temple of Ganesh Ji that further led to the terrace. I was really happy to see the start of the property with Ganesh Ji.

Now, travelers won't worry as Stellar is there for Data Recovery

As a traveler, I click many photos and videos of destinations, hotels/resorts and food. There is a lot of upkeep that I need to do for them. Once I had gone to Nepal and we did Mountain flight. I had taken many photos of Mount Everest and Gauri Shankar peak and many more. Suddenly, I realized that all my photos were deleted. Thankfully, I got my photos elsewhere but till that time, I got paranoid. Recently, I heard about a tool that can recover my photos and videos even after permanently deleting them from my laptop or mobile. I was eager to know about it in detail. Stellar, the Data Care Experts Company had organized an event to help understand about DIY softwares that can help us recover photos and videos that either got corrupted or deleted by mistake.

Hotel Review: Mantra on view at Surfer's Paradise , Gold Coast Australia

After a good research about Australia and the destinations within, we finally decided to choose Gold Coast in the bucket list of Australia sightseeing. Mantra on View in Gold Coast was one perfect hotel which not only provided the perfect accommodation to us but also the view of grand Pacific Ocean.

  Mantra on View

I was really skeptical about the view from our room. This hotel did not deprive us of the divine scenery.

We reached the property in the evening and the sun did not set till 8.30pm. We had a lot of time to roam around.

  Lobby

As we settled in the property, there was some free time to enjoy. The beach was only 3 minutes walking distance from the property. It was easily accessible so would run to the beach whenever we got free time.
