Agra, home to the Taj Mahal is reason enough for a visit, but apart from it there are many more places like the Agra fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Sheesh Mahal, Memtabh Bagh, Wildlife SOS, Tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah.

Pristime and soothing Lansdowne is place to come to for meditation and relaxation. Lansdowne is a small cantonment town in the Pauri Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. It an ideal getaway destination for a laid back holiday. It is one of the quietest and unspoiled hill stations I have ever seen in-spite of it being so close to Delhi and with good motor-able roads. Since it’s maintained by cantonment, it is clean and well maintained too.

Distance from Delhi – 287 km

Tucked away in the Solan District of Himachal Pradesh is a small cantonment hill station, Kasauli. A favorite destination of Britishers, whose inspiration can still be seen in the architecture of the old bungalows and the churches around. Himachal atttracts many tourists but somehow Kasauli remains somewhat eluded and has that old world charm about it. A scenic beauty with amazing weather is an all time favorite.

About Pooja

Hi! I am Pooja. My life is an amalgamation of mundane and that of a digital nomad. The travel bug actually hit me after I completed my education and started earning. It was then I actually started experiencing places than just visiting them. Thus started a zeal to explore to satisfy my wanderlust. After marriage things just worked out better for me thanks to my equally zealous Hubby. Accompanied by our daughter who is ever ready to get out of home, we often set sails on many interesting (and sometimes crazy) family adventures with dreams to travel not to escape life but for life not to escape us.
