My dream…………

Travelling India

Where?

South

India?

Desert?

Dilwalon ki

Dilli?

Or All?

Goa?

India is a place where one can find a lot of variety, diversity. Be it extreme climates,

different geographies, different cultures, different flora and fauna, all co exist. Some

are famous for their beauty, some for their weather, some for culture and the list is

unending.

Since long, I have dreamt of exploring this diverse country. Now, I want to live out

this dream through Godrej LOUD.

The Dream

However, I have shortlisted 6 places I would like to visit to live out my

dream.

These include places known for fun, beauty and uniqueness. Two of

them are not very popularly known but are very unique.

I have taken into consideration that I have to manage my college side

by side and I have to fulfil this dream in the next 1 year.

I would like to travel by air most of the time as it saves a lot of time

and fatigue, amking travel more enjoyable.

Moreover, during these trips, I would like to stay in good hotels, some

of them may be expensive as well.

Since I am cutting short on the number of places, I would like to live

out loud, and try to travel like a king.

Uniquely unique…

Dilwaalon ki dilli

It has a variety of monuments, some of the most

expensive malls, great hotels and places with great

street food.

Though I have been to most of the popular places in

Delhi, I would like to visit 2 places in particular-

Agrasen ki Baoli and Toilet musem.

Reasons:

None of these places are really popular but still these

places are one of their own kind and I am yet to visit

them.

Even many Delhiites are unaware of these places!

Agrasen ki Baoli

Agrasen ki Baoli (also known as Agar Sain ki Baoli or Ugrasen ki Baoli),

designated a protected monument by the Archaeological Survey of

India(ASI) under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and

Remains Act of 1958, is a 60-meter long and 15-meter wide historical step

well on Hailey Road near Connaught Place.Baoli or bawdi, also referred to

as baori or bauri, is a Hindi

word (from Sanskrit wapi or

vapi, vapika).

Water temples and temple

step wells were built in ancient

India and the earliest forms of

step well and reservoir were

also built in India in places like

Dholavira as far back as the

Indus Valley Civilisation.

Amazing, still unknown!

Toilet Museum

Ever wondered what a museum dedicated entirely to the history of toilets would be

like ?

Yes, there’s one in Delhi!

Sounds incredible?

See it for yourself:

Seeing is believing!

The Rann of Kutch

The Rann of Kutch, also known as the Great Rann of Kutch (there's a

Little Rann of Kutch as well), is a remarkable place to visit in Gujarat. It's

the world's largest salt desert, measuring over 16,000 square

kilometers. What makes it even more amazing is that it's underwater

during the main monsoon season in India. For the remaining eight

months of the year, it's an enormous stretch of packed white salt.

Reasons to visit:

1. It is a “one of its kind “place.

Extreme weather/Desert Safari

JAISALMER

GOA..

Goa, is one place which is synonymous

with fun. It has exotic beaches, ancient

churches and lots more where one can

hang out and … Just have fun!

FUN

Scenic beauty and New Cuisines

•Kanyakumari, Tamilnadu

These two places are famous for their scenic beauty. Plus, south India has a

cuisine entirely different from the northern part of the country where I

come from. Here, I would also like to try out the different cuisines of

South India such as Pongal and Talpakatti Biryani.

I would like to try out this cuisine in its original style!

After all, nothing beats the original, however good the copy may be!

Kanyakumari

Kanyakumari is the southernmost tip of the Indian mainland.Amidst the sea there are two rocks known as ‘twin rocks’ both contributing to therich Indian heritage with the monuments of swamy Vivekananda and SaintThiruvalluvar.
