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 ...

Las Vegas is known for its lively casinos, rocking nightlife and as the party place, but you can do plenty other action stuff too. Here is a small video from my trip: If you have 1 day to spend in Las Vegas, I would suggest below itinerary: 9AM-11Am: Las Vegas Strip: Have a heavy breakfast before you head out to las vegas strip. You can easily spend 2-3 hours by roaming around the strip taking photos with iconic hotels and casinos. 11AM-2PM: Exotics Racing: if you like speed and adventure, then don't miss this opportunity to drive a supercar on the race track. Doesn't matter if you have any previous experience or not, you will be given proper experience and guidance. Find more details here: http://kapilricky.blogspot.in/2018/01/las-vegas-is-known-for-its-lively.html 2PM-5PM: Hoover dam: It's a nice drive to Hoover Dam from the vegas cit which hardly takes 1 hour. You can enjoy for 1 hour by taking a lot of pictures with this landmark if you have 1 hour...

Vegas is filled with a lot of options for nightlife activities, for the daytime, i would recommend a trip to Hoover Dam or Grand Canyon. This time, I picked the Hoover Dam as I check out around 11AM and my flight was around 6:30PM so I had plenty of time to kill. It just takes around 1 hour to drive to the Dam from the Vegas Strip, the last few kilometers are really fun to drive with curvy roads and amazing view on both side.  Most parts of the road have to speed limits so I would advise being cautious while enjoying the drive. You have to go through a security checkpoint where random checks will be done on the vehicle, no need to panic though and calmly support the officers. The most important part is to make sure you do not carry any weapons, flammable liquids or any sort of dangerous substances.            You are allowed to drive on the top of the dam to go towards the other side of Arizona state, it's just a normal 2...
