Morning Tales
Mornings are always delicately beautiful., there is a sense of calm before the day finally begins to take its grip on us. In India mornings can present some of the best travel experiences. From its northern areas to down south, there is always something extraordinary to do in the mornings. Now not many people are in the habit of waking up early, but if are sincere about gathering travel experiences, then it is a necessity.
A Heritage Walk in Delhi
The sprawling Lodhi Gardens is one of Delhi finest green spaces, and mornings here are just perfect. Especially if it is on a winter day. Delhi winters can be charming for many reasons, but here is one that really captures the heart of this ancient city. Lodhi Gardens is home to Mughal tombs, most notably that of Ibrahim Lodhi, and walking here in the early hours of the day can really make you fall in love with the city. It is a tryst with history, and an almost personal one.
Chinese Breakfast in Kolkata's China Town
The only China Town in India is located in Kolkata, and that pretty much makes it highly important for you to set your alarm. While there are other shops here, the market in Terreti Bazaar really comes alive on Sunday mornings when Chinese street breakfast is served by the numbers. From bao, to dumplings, fish balls, and more, there is a host of things to try, and you may not be able to have these anywhere in India at this price.
Sunrise over God's Own Country in Kerala
Kerala's natural splendour needs no introduction, and we are talking about a particularly coveted beach experience. Pick any beach in the state, and watch the sunrise over the vast waters. It is therapeutic to say the least. Kovalam certainly takes the cake for being one of the most beautiful beaches, so you might want to try experiencing the beauty of the rising sun here. But if you have a houseboat to yourself, we would say that it pretty much takes care of thsi momentous experience.
Take a Hike to See Mount Kanchenjunga in Darjeeling
It is a ritual for any and every visitor in Darjeeling. You have got to take a hike up to Tiger Hill in the early hours to see the first rays of the sun fall on the mighty Kanchenjunga. The experience is nothing short of magical, something that will remain with you for the rest of your life. Plus, the cold weather makes it all the more beautiful, it is really an experience of a lifetime. Kanchenjunga is undoubtedly the protagonist of your Darjeeling tour.
