Recently I travelled to India with my husband and two kids for our vacation. It was a three week trip, well now I wish we could have extended it and had some more time. First we landed in Mumbai and visited the much talked about Marine Drive, must say that the residents of Mumbai are lucky to have such a beautiful gateway in their own city. My kids simply loved it, me and my husband indulged in some romantic talks, while the waves splashed and kids played on the shores. The next day we visited Gateway of India, Hanging Gardens, Juhu Beach, magnificent Elephanta caves and Chatrapati Shivaji Museum. After an entire days tour we retire to one of the well-known restaurants to try some local seafood cuisine and must say it's the best that I have ever tasted. The next day we visited Mahabaleshwar a quaint hill station, it is beautiful and peaceful.

There we visited Venna Lake and Shiv temple and Pratapgad Fort. We also visited Panchgani another hill station. Next day we flew to Delhi. Here we visited the all the magnificent historical monuments like Purana Quila, Humayun's Tomb, Qutab Minar and Red Fort. The next day way saw the more modern architecture like the Jantar Mantar, Parliament House, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Akshardham temple and Craft Museum. We also visited some of the most well known flee markets and got some great souvenirs. We are very happy with the warm hospitality that we received. The citizens are very friendly and helpful. There is so much to see that we have already planned our next visit to India and the places to see. We are greatly thankful to Vfmtravels for making us experience such a wonderful country.

Me and my partner visited Goa and Kerala for our second honeymoon. This time we chose India, as we have heard so much about its splendour and beauty. Goa and Kerala indeed proved it true. First we landed in Goa and headed for Calangute beach and stayed there in a wonderful resort. The next day we headed for the Baga beach for surfing, sun and sand. We got involved in various kinds of water activities and took breaks in between to catch up with some cooling off drinks. We got the best tan of our lives. In the evening we headed to a nice country restaurant for soulful music and delicious Goan food. Must say the food was awesome such fresh seafood is too good. The next few days we hopped from one beach to the other like the Baga, Candolim, Anjuna, Bogmalo and Colva beaches. The experience was awesome.

After refreshing Goa we visited 'God's Own Country' as Indians love to call it Kerala. Must say they are right, the backwaters are breathtaking. We stayed at Bekal in a rice boat for two days then shifted to a hotel. After two days we visited the magnificent unsullied hill station Munnar, the beauty of this hill station is yet untouched by the hoards of tourist. The greenery of the tea plantation is very soothing to the eyes. And here also we were not at far from delicious food the seafood here was mind-blowing. India has a magic which needs to be felt by only visiting India. We are already planning our next vacation to India

I would like to share with you the wonderful experience I had on my last vacation to India. Me and my friends opted for the much talked about Golden triangle tour i.e. Delhi-Agra-Jaipur-Delhi. It was ten days trip and we had great fun. First we landed in Delhi and experienced the grandeur of the capital city. Our travel agent took us to all the important historical monuments like Purana Quila, Humayun's Tomb, Qutab Minar and Red Fort. The next day we left for Agra and must say that it is one of the best symbol of love that any man has ever created, Taj Mahal was magnificent. The pristine white monument is a must visit in ones lifetime. Our next stop was Agra fort, again a glorious monument of historical significance. India is a country which very well portrays the opulence that the dynasties enjoyed.
