Let it be.........

Road trips always excite me, doesn't matter where I am going, what I am driving or who is accompanying me ;) This time, I got a handful of few of my relatives in the town so I thought of showing them the nearest #HillStation around the Bangalore city.  If you have guessed it right, its Nandi Hills :D Just around 70KM away from the home, with no traffic on the bypass roads around the Airport and a perfect place for a breakfast makes this spot an ideal for a morning breakfast ride. I had to look alternate options for SUV vehicle as my #NightFurry (Grand i10) wasn't happy to accommodate 7 seaters. The first most option came to mind was #ZoomCar. It took hardly 10 minutes to book a #RedDevil -Mahindra Scorpio, which cost me around 2000INR for 24 hours with a maximum of 120KM of free fuel. I opted for home delivery which was 300INR, but it made sense to me as I was nowhere in the mood to take an Uber at 6AM to pick the Zoom Car :p The vehicle delivered at sharp 5:30A...

Breakfast ride organized by DSK Benelli Whitefield. DSK Benelli is on roll as they added another showroom in the list, by inaugurating DSK Benelli Brindavan Motors in Whitefield (Bangalore) a few months back. The new showroom welcomed all the #Benellians to celebrate the #BondWithBenelli by organizing a breakfast ride to Kollar last Saturday morning. The ride started around 7 AM from DSK Benelli Whitefield to the Adiga restaurant situated near Kollar with measuring the distance around 50KM. I joined the ride to let my "EVA" make new friends :) Deepak Kamath mostly known as #Armstrong among the biking community were invited to join the ride on his 600GT to share his experiences from the legendary record-breaking rides from the past with a preview hint from the upcoming adventures. A lot of experiences and stories shared on the top of crispy dosa and cup of coffee. After we left the place, I made sure the #302R siblings had ano...

007 Double-O-seven : Bond ..James Bond.. :) If you are a fan of James Bond or even not, you will be a fan of the James Bond island in Phuket for sure. Here is a small video of my trip : I would suggest not to purchase this tour from hotel or airport as its very expensive. You can save money by booking the trip online by signing up here: https://www.klook.com/invite/Q161Z The package includes: -Hotel Pickup from main locations -Boat Transfer -Life jacket -Lunch (veg and non-veg options with unlimited cola/water) -fruits as the snack at end of the tour There is two kind of options: -Speed Boat transfer  -Big Boat transfer The first option can be bumpy sometimes because of rough see but it takes less time.  It took around 1 hour from the pier to the James Bond island by the Big Boat. We had the first stop for the Kayaking at  Phang Nga Bay , where water is not so clean but kind of muddy. The most exciting par...

Best Places to see in Phuket in 5 days :) If you are planning to visit Phuket for a week and didn't plan your itinerary yet? Don't worry, let me help you with a quick itinerary for 5 days to cover the best places in Phuket :) Day 1: Big Buddha and the Tiger Kingdom I would suggest booking your flights to Phuket so that you reach by 9am-11am. The airport is very small so you should be able to get the luggage within 30 mins and off to your hotel in a fly. It may take 30 mins to 1 hour to your hotel based on location, I stayed at #WyndhamGrand hotel at Kalim ay which is hardly 40 minutes from the Airport. If you choose to stay near Patong beach/Bangla road, it may take 1 hour from the airport to the Hotel. After you checked in the hotels and get time to refresh with a quick shower. I would suggest finishing Lunch at the hotel or nearby restaurant before heading out. It takes around 40mins-1 hour to reach Big Buddha from Patong beach, I would su...

if you are transiting at Hong Kong airport with more than hours, instead of spending lazy hours at Duty-Free Shopping I would suggest to take time out for a trip to Big Buddha at Ngong Ping. You can apply online for Hong Kong Visa on Arrival (for Indian residents), just fill the form online and take a printout of the confirmation. http://www.immd.gov.hk/eng/services/visas/pre-arrival_registration_for_indian_nationals.html Its free of cost will save your pages on the passport as compared to pre-approval Visa like other countries. While I was coming back from the USA I had a stay at Hong Kong airport for 12 hours, so after getting fresh at the airport I quickly queued up for the immigration. I had to present the printout for the Visa application, valid passport for the next 6 month and immigration for. The Immigration process was quick and took hardly 10 minutes to finish. I exchanged around 20 USD to HK Dollars as few places (like Bus Transport) you need cash money ...
