Indian passport holders need to get a tourist visa to enter Vietnam, weather they are entering for a day or a month. There is a common misconception that this can be done only through a travel agent. There are popular websites directing visitors to another travel agent’s website (case in point this MMT article: https://www.makemytrip.com/blog/vietnam-visa-for-indians). […]
The austere, grandiose site of Hampi was the last capital of the last great Hindu Kingdom of Vijayanagar.

“Most of the time, beauty lies in the simplest of things.” – Winna Efendi We felt this quote coming true in Luang Prabang, a small town located in the country of Loas. This town with a population of 55000 and area of hardly 8 sq. km had more to offer than many of the big […]
Last updated on: 19th January 2019. Visiting Auroville was a very different experience from our usual holidays. I am sure I would have called it life-changing if I stayed for a longer duration. We visited for 5 days for the first time and again for a week 2nd time and the experience is hard to […]
Wayanad in monsoon is mesmerising. We were there in September first week and enjoyed the rains on and off on this hill station.

My husband and son are vegetarian and most of the tourist friendly locations have decent options for vegetarians. So Philippines should ideally be an easy destination for vegetarians or vegans.

We are headed to Singapore again this December and I have been looking for ways to save money. We are not backpackers or budget travellers, but I do my research thoroughly to see if we can save some money during our trips. After all, every penny saved can help us plan one more trip 🙂 […]
