These are the places I had been to, while I was studying at BITS. Most of these trips were during semester breaks or/and internships, so I managed to write detailed posts about only a few of them.
I was learning about the different platforms and had shifted my blog many times in the beginning before settling for wordpress, I missed out on posts that I could’ve written. But still, I enjoyed clicking at these places and perhaps would visit them again in future!
Royal Rajasthan – Udaipur
I had the chance to go to Udaipur last weekend. It’s a beautiful city, erstwhile capital of Mewar Kingdom and has been called the “Venice of the East” due to its lake side hotels and forts.

Without any train ticket,…

The Taj Mahal has a rich history dating back to 1630 AD. It’s made out of marble and took 22 years and 20 000 workers to complete. Words cannot do the Taj Mahal justice, its incredible detail simply has to be seen to be appreciated. The Taj is the most beautiful monument built by the Mughals, the Muslim rulers of India. Taj Mahal is built entirely of white marble. Its…
Temples of Khajuraho
A picture can speak a thousand words but one visit to Khajuraho is worth a thousand pictures. The Temples at Khajuraho are known worldwide, they are famous for their rich Hindu architecture, their size and also for the carvings on their walls.
