Finding peace in Rishikesh: A journey of the soul

Our family trip to Rishikesh was very special because we went there for my niece’s naming ceremony. It was a joyful occasion where we met many relatives, enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of the town, and created beautiful memories together.
We traveled to Rishikesh by our own car, which made the journey comfortable and fun. Instead of staying in a hotel, we stayed at my brother’s house in THDC Colony. This made the trip feel even more homely because we were in a familiar place with family.
The naming ceremony was the main reason for our visit, and it was a wonderful event. Meeting so many relatives after a long time was the best part. We laughed, talked, and shared stories, making the gathering full of happiness. Celebrating together reminded us how important family is and how such moments bring us closer.
Apart from the ceremony, we also explored Rishikesh. One of the most amazing experiences was attending the famous Ganga Aarti. Watching the river glow with diyas, hearing the priests chant, and feeling the peaceful energy of the place was something we will always remember.
We also visited a Gurudwara, where we felt a sense of calm and peace. The atmosphere there was quiet and relaxing, making us feel refreshed. Another fun part of the trip was spending time at a local beach. The cool water, fresh air, and beautiful surroundings made it a perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature.

The weather during our trip was just perfect. It was neither too hot nor too cold, which made all our outings enjoyable. The pleasant breeze, the sound of the river, and the peaceful vibe of Rishikesh made everything feel even more special.
The most memorable part of this trip was reuniting with all our relatives. In our busy lives, we don’t always get the time to meet everyone, but this trip gave us the chance to sit together, talk for hours, and relive old memories. These small yet meaningful moments made the trip even more beautiful.
Looking back, this journey to Rishikesh was not just about attending a family function. It was about spending time with loved ones, feeling the spiritual energy of the place, and appreciating the little joys of life. Whether it was watching the Ganga Aarti, visiting the Gurudwara, or simply chatting with family, every moment was special.
Rishikesh, with its peaceful surroundings and positive energy, was the perfect place for such a beautiful gathering. This trip will always hold a special place in our hearts, reminding us of the love and happiness that family brings.

Traveling with friends is always an adventure, but when you have a guide who’s also an amazing photographer, it becomes truly unforgettable. This is a story of how my two friends and I took a fun-filled trip to Agra and had the time of our lives at the Taj Mahal. Visiting Agra had been on our minds for a long time. One weekend, we finally packed our bags, started our journey from Delhi, and set off for a day filled with history, laughter, and incredible photos. As soon as we arrived, Agra’s charm pulled us in. The lively streets, the aroma of delicious street food, and the excitement of seeing one of the Seven Wonders of the World made the trip even more special. But the best part was meeting a guide who turned our experience into something extraordinary. At the Taj Mahal entrance, we met Raj, a young and passionate guide with a talent for photography. He greeted us with a big smile and said, “Not only will I tell you the best stories of the Taj, but I’ll also make sure you get the bes...

Winter vacations are always special, but this time, my family and I decided to ditch the usual chilly destinations and head towards the warm and vibrant city of Pondicherry. Instead of taking a train or flight, we opted for a self-drive road trip from Bangalore, which made the journey even more exciting. With our family members packed in the car, good music, and endless conversations, the trip had already begun on a high note! Instead of booking a hotel, we decided to make our stay more homely and booked a private villa for three days. It was a perfect decision, as it gave us the space and comfort to relax together as a family. We even had our personal cook, which ensured we got to enjoy homemade meals whenever we wanted. However, being in Pondicherry, a city known for its rich food culture, we couldn't resist trying out different cuisines at some of the famous cafes. Pondicherry is known for its beautiful blend of French colonial architecture, pristine beac...
