FRANKFURT, RUEDESHEIM & RHINE CRUISEIt was time for my annual vacation with my family in May and I had an interesting challenge as the youngest member travelling was my son who had just turned 6 in April and the senior most member of my family was my dad who was 75. I started short listing destinations and I narrowed down to Germany - a country that offers diverse experiences across all age

DRESDEN & WACKERBATH CASTLEGermany is a land of many gems and Saxony is undoubtedly the hidden treasure of Germany. I was convinced about the same after having attended a presentation by Shireesh Sharma , Marketing Consultant for Saxony Tourism for the Americas. In fact, I would add that no other Indian knows Saxony better than Shireesh and this was further reiterated when I attended his

I arrived at France's second largest city and the capital of the province of Rhone-Alpes, to attend the International Destination Expo(IDE) and was greeted by some very wet weather. In fact it poured most of the day and after checking in at the Hotel Mercure Lyon Charpennes, I headed to register myself at the Cite Centre de Congres (CCC) what is also known as the Palais de Congres to complete my

This May I travelled to Germany with my family and from Frankfurt to Munich I travelled by train. I was highly impressed of the efforts put in by the people of Germany to reduce the carbon emission by using bicycles instead of cars and bikes in most cities and later it didn't surprise me when GERMANY was declared as the GREENEST NATION in 2008 as they managed to reduce the carbon emission by 5.6%

A visit to Masai Mara is a photographer's delight especially for those who love wildlife photography. I created this collage of pictures comprising of a lion who just feasted on a zebra and was marching towards our 4x4 as there was a stream of water nearby and he looked quite thirsty indeed. The other images were that of two cheetahs looking for a prey and my travel colleagues who were with me, I

This amazing picture was taken during my visit to Masai Mara in March this year where two cheetahs were looking for prey in either direction as if they are superimposed on each other. Masai Mara is one of the most amazing places to visit especially during the Great Migration which takes place between July and October where millions of wildebeest and thousands of zebras along with other animals
