The city is home to the state-of-the-art Mughal Gardens, Shalimar Bagh and Nishant Bagh being the most famous of them.

QATAR GRAND PRIX

Racing trip? I don’t even know what is Grand Prix.
No problem:
A Grand Prix (GP) means “big prize” in French.
In sports, especially Formula 1 (F1), a Grand Prix is a major international race event that happens in different countries around the world.

Each Grand Prix is part of the Formula 1 World Championship.
Races are held on special racing tracks or street circuits (for example, Monaco GP is on city streets, Qatar GP is on Lusail International Circuit).
Drivers compete in high-speed Formula 1 cars for points, trophies, and ultimately the World Championship title.

So when you hear “Qatar Grand Prix”, it means the official Formula 1 race held in Qatar, usually at the Lusail International Circuit near Doha.

Day 1
Fly to Auckland
As it will be a long flight so take proper rest to come out of jet lag.

Day 2
Auckland Sky Tower

Auckland is an incredibly spread out city, We will firstly venture 220 metres up the Sky Tower for a 360-degree view of the city. While you’re there you could get into the adventure tourism spirit of New Zealand and check out either SkyJump (a base jump 192 metres straight down) or SkyWalk (a harnessed walk around the Sky Tower on a 1.2-metre wide ledge!)

Mission Bay
Whether it is brunch, lunch, dinner or social evening drinks, no matter what season or time of day, the Promenade in Mission Bay is always thriving. The Promenade can always be found bustling with people dining al fresco, enjoying the views of the sandy beach, Rangitoto Island and the activities on the harbour. Great spots for dining and nightlife include Bar Comida, Mission Bay Cafe, De Fontein Belgian Beer Café and Ruan Thai & Reef Bar.

Muriwai beach

Muriwai, also called Muriwai Beach, is a coastal community on the west coast of the Auckland Region in the North Island of New Zealand. The black-sand surf beach and surrounding area is a popular recreational area for Aucklanders. Gannets nest there in a large colony on the rocks.

Day 3 Drive to Rotorua via Coromandel Penisula
Coromandel Peninsula

The Coromandel Peninsula on the North Island of New Zealand extends 85 kilometres north from the western end of the Bay of Plenty, forming a natural barrier to protect the Hauraki Gulf and the Firth of Thames in the west from the Pacific Ocean to the east. It is 40 kilometres wide at its broadest point.

Cathedral Cove

From beautiful Hahei Beach on The Coromandel you can walk to Cathedral Cove, where a naturally formed archway deserves photographic attention. From the north end of the beach, a one hour walking track leads along the cliff top and then descends to the Cove. Here a gigantic arched cavern passes through a white rock headland to join two secluded coves. The cathedral-like arch gives the whole area an air of grandeur. The beach is sandy with shady pohutukawa trees along the foreshore – a perfect place for a picnic and a swim.

Tairua
We will take a stop at this small town for tea,The town of Tairua is on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula in the North Island of New Zealand. It lies at the mouth of the Tairua River on its north bank and on the small Paku Peninsula. The population was 1,227 in the 2013 Census, a decrease of 42 from 2006.

We will reach Rotorua in the evening. Sleep early and get a good night’s rest after a long day on the road.

Day 4 Explore Rotorua
Hell’s Gate:
The aptly named Hell’s Gate is one of the most dramatic geothermal reserves you have ever visited. This is because the heat source is very close to the surface of the Earth here: the Earth’s crust is extremely thin in certain places here, so visitors are constantly warned not to steer off the designated paths. There are bubbling sulphurous springs, volcanic mud pools, steaming fumaroles, highly acidic Sulphur baths, a unique cooking pool, and the Southern Hemisphere’s largest hot waterfall. The temperature of the pools ranges from 40 degrees celsius to a whopping 145 degrees. The bubbling lava, hissing steam, inferno pools and unique mud volcanoes will have you marveling at Mother Nature.

Wai-o-tapu Reserve
We also visited the popular Wai-o-tapu reserve, also known as a Thermal Wonderland. Wonderland is the right word because here at Wai-o-tapu it’s possible to see some incredibly colourful manifestations of thermal activity – entire pools of orange, green, and yellow lie next to steaming geysers and dreamy white terraces. These unique natural formations left us completely gobsmacked. I couldn’t get enough of the Artist’s Pallette, a large pool deftly coloured in shades of blue, green, yellow, and orange by naturally-occurring minerals. The intensity of the colours keeps changing according to water levels, the direction of the wind, and sunlight, so I found it hard to tear myself away from it.

Day 5 The Thermal Explorer Highway

Today we will drive down to the bustling town of Taupo via the Waireki Terraces.
Waireki Terraces

The chalky silica terraces, surrounding bright blue pools of bubbling water, are one of the most unique things you’ll see in New Zealand. Located below a large hill of silica terraces, the setting of the Wairakei Terraces & Thermal Health Spa is truly spectacular and the views are soothing in themselves. A Poutokowhenua, a traditionally carved wooden pole, arched wooden bridges and landscaped gardens complete the image of a traditional Māori health spa that draws visitors from all over the globe.

Huka Falls

You’ll hear the Huka Falls well before you see the them – it’s the sound of nearly a quarter of a million litres of water per second erupting from a natural gorge and thundering 11m into the Waikato River below. This incredible spectacle is the most-visited natural attraction in New Zealand – it’s hard to tear your gaze away from the endless, mesmerising torrent.

Day 6 Explore Taupo

Lake Taupo (toe-paw) was formed thousands of years ago by a volcanic eruption. Its volcanic character ensures a proliferation of steaming mud pools, silica terraces, and thermal valleys. The Lake itself is the focal point of all activity: its shores are lined with restaurants, cafes, and bars. We will explore this beautiful town, shores of the lake, languorous lunch in the town, and devouring one too many cups of coffee at Ozone Coffee Roasters.

Day 7 Interislander Ferry Terminal Via Wellington

This will be a long day that will take us through some of the most scenic panoramas on the North Island of New Zealand. Taupo’s volcanic environs give way to a sensational stretch of highway through a desert, which in turn swiftly gives way to fields of flowers and vineyards, with towering mountains on the horizon. This part of the drive through the North Island of New Zealand is sure to cast a spell on the most skeptical of tourists – sunlight spills over through the windows as the car glides through villages dotted with picture-perfect cottages, orchards laden with fruit, and bright purple flowers billowing in the wind.

We will leave Taupo early in the morning and have a gorgeous brunch in Wellington, walk around and finally will reach the ferry terminal by 1 pm, will drop our rental car, and check in our bags. Take the 45 minute ferry and then we will have to drop the car off and pick another vehicle on the South Island.

We will go to our hostel/hotel and take rest.

Day 8 Explore Kaikoura
Whale Watching
Kaikoura is a small town located 180 kilometres north of Christchurch and is set in the protective shelter of the Kaikoura Peninsula. It offers a plethora of marine activities of which whale watching is the highlight.About a kilometre off the Kaikoura Coast, the Kaikoura Canyon and 1000 metre deep Hikurangi Trench are formed by a maze of underwater troughs and canyons. The warm waters of these canyons combine with the cold waters of the Antarctic to form an ideal location for a huge variety of marine life.

Which whales when?
Gigantic sperm whales and dolphins inhabit these waters all year round. Migratory humpback whales appear in June and July and orca can be found from December to February. The mammals come here lured by the abundance of easy food and humans get an amazing opportunity to watch these majestic marine mammals at close range.

Day 9 & 10 Arthur’s Pass National Park
This part of South Island is where the fun truly begins for any road trip enthusiast. We will cross Castle Hill, where Maori and European settlers cleared the forest centuries ago. The huge limestone boulders are said to have provided shelter for Maoris. The boulders are unmissable and definitely worthy of a stop. Castle Hill, home to one of the most scenic public toilets in the whole wide world. If it seems familiar, it’s because portions of ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ were shot here.
Castle Hill

Arthur’s Pass, nestled in the heart of New Zealand’s Southern Alps, is the highest pass across the Southern Alps. It will definitely be one of the most scenic places you will see on your road trip through New Zealand. Arthur’s Pass Village, an alpine village surrounded by forests and mountains on all sides.

Just 5 minutes from the village is the spectacular Bealey Valley. You’ll find glacier views, entire fields full of flowers, stunning drives, and forests in the area. It offers a lot of hiking and photography opportunities.

We can(optional) do, walking to the Devil’s Punchbowl Falls. The return loop takes about 1 hour.

We will explore this area for next 2 days. We will literally explore this gift of nature in raw way.

Day 11 & 12 Wakana Via Lake Matheson, Fox Glacier, and Franz Josef Glacier
This will be a long and tiring stretch of 500km so we will be cutting it into two parts and take a break near Fox Glacier.
Wanaka, a resort town on New Zealand’s South Island, is set on the southern end of its namesake lake with views of snowcapped mountains. It’s the gateway to the Southern Alps’ Mount Aspiring National Park, a wilderness of glaciers, beech forests and alpine lakes. Treble Cone and Cardrona ski resorts are near the park. Just outside the town is the outdoor maze and sculpture gallery of Puzzling World.

Lake Matheson

Lake Matheson, near the Fox Glacier in South Westland, New Zealand, is famous for its reflected views of Aoraki/Mount Cook and Mount Tasman. A traditional mahinga kai for Māori people, the lake contains long finned eel as well as being home to many water birds.

Fox Glacier

Fox Glacier / Te Moeka o Tuawe is a 13-kilometre-long temperate maritime glacier located in Westland Tai Poutini National Park on the West Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. It was named in 1872 after a visit by then Prime Minister of New Zealand Sir William Fox.

Franz Josef Glacier

Franz Josef Glacier (Kā Roimata ō Hine Hukatere) is one of the steepest glaciers in New Zealand, descending from its origins high in the Southern Alps deep into the lush native rainforest of Westland’s National Park. It also moves faster than your average glacier at around 50cm per day. This creates some truly incredible features in the glacier such as ice caves, tunnels, seracs and crevasses; all of which are constantly changing and evolving so no two days are ever the same.

Day 13 & 14 Drive to Queenstown
Queenstown is a short drive from Wanaka but it’s one that takes ages. That’s because you will feel compelled to stop and take photos every 2 minutes. We will take the Crown Range route to Queenstown – this is the highest main road in New Zealand and it’s a beautiful drive. This drive offers a bit of everything – glistening lakes, ice-capped peaks, and stunning roads.

We will explore Queenstown today and take a stop for night.

Day 15 & 16 Milford Sound
Today we will drive to Te Anau and will explore this little base town for Melford Sound.
Milford Sound was referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World by Rudyard Kipling, Milford Sound is a fiord in the southwest of New Zealand’s South Island. It’s known for towering Mitre Peak, plus rainforests and waterfalls like Stirling and Bowen falls, which plummet down its sheer sides. The fiord is home to fur seal colonies, penguins and dolphins. Milford Discovery Centre and Underwater Observatory offers views of rare black coral and other marine life.

Mirror Lakes

One of the highlights of the Milford Road, the Mirror Lakes are world-famous for their beauty and the way they reflect their surrounding scenery. Stunningly scenic, on a calm day they provide breathtaking reflections of the Earl mountain ranges opposite. Thousands of tourists visit the Mirror Lakes every year in search of the perfect photo op. However, they’re also a habitat for many animals, including some of rarest birds.

Optional Cruise( Will share details)

Day 17 Otago’s Wineries & Scenic drive
Pinot Noir flourishes in the Central Otago, with a variety of stunning expressions being crafted in the numerous sub-regions.The region is also renowned for producing excellent aromatics, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.Historically noted as ‘pre-eminently suitable’ for winemaking (Bragato, 1895), the region’s first Gold Medal was for ‘Burgundy’ in Sydney in 1881.

In short, a road trip through Namibia is an adventure that will fill your senses and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. So pack your bags, hit the road, and let the magic of Namibia unfold before you!

PS: TBT is on its Continent Cover 0.2 trip, which covers 15 countries and 60 days from 24 April to 22 June. We will be coming to Namibia from South Africa. You can join us for South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania or Morocco as well—WhatsApp at 9029099709 for more details.

Namibia Road Trip Itinerary(Activities) :

Day 1 (20-May): Windhoek
Day 2 (21-May): Kokerboom Word
Day 3 (22-May): Fish River Canyon
Day 4 (23-May): Sesriem
Day 5 (24-May): Swakopmund/Walvis bay
Day 6 (25-May): Spitzope
Day 7 (26-May): Cape Cross Seal Reserve
Day 8 (27-May): Windhoek

Highlights

Spend time in one of the world’s largest and oldest deserts (43 million years)
Enjoy free time to explore incredible landscapes near Sesriem Canyon
Relax in two picturesque towns on the Atlantic (one with German history)
Spend a night at Spitzkoppe, an outdoor paradise known for hiking and climbing
Pick up authentic African goodies at the Namibia Craft Center

Day 1: Windhoek

Welcome to Namibia! Upon arrival at the Hosea Kutako International Airport, it’s time to pick up a rental car and proceed to your hotel in Namibia’s capital city, Windhoek—a great base to begin your road trip adventure. This tidy and modern city has a western flair that mixes nicely with urban Africa’s colors, sounds, and tempos.

Christuskirche (Christ Church)
Parliament Gardens
Alte Feste (the Old Fort)
Heroes’ Acre, the monument is situated outside of the city on the B1 highway. You can visit it on the way to Ketmanshoop
Gibeon meteorites at Post Street Mall
Independence Memorial Museum

Day 2: Drive from Windhoek to the Namib Desert

After breakfast in Windhoek, you’ll begin the drive to the Namib Desert (211 mi/340 km), one of the oldest and largest deserts in the world. In fact, the Namib stretches far and wide, covering large swathes of land in Namibia, as well as parts of South Africa and Angola. The distinct arid climate supports a diverse number of plants and animals, some of which are found nowhere else in the world.
Once you reach the desert, you’ll be making your way to the Sesriem area, a small settlement close to the southern end of the Naukluft Mountains. You’ll drive over the Khomas Hochland highland region along the way as you head west toward the great escarpment. You’ll then descend this escarpment via Namibia’s highest mountain pass, Spreetshoogte, to enter Sesriem in the central region of Namibia.

Day 3: Tour the Sossusvlei Desert

Today, you’ll take part in an early morning excursion that travels along the path of the ancient Tsauchab River into the Namib Sand Sea. The adventure highlights the Sossusvlei Desert, including Dune 45 and Dead Vlei—all surrounded by red dunes in the southern part of the Namib Desert.
In the afternoon, you’ll have time to enjoy the landscapes and views around Sesriem Canyon, carved into the Tsauchab River over millions of years, resulting in a narrow gorge of just over a half-mile in length. At the foot of the gorge, which plunges over 100 feet (30 m), are pools that replenish after a good rain. Sesriem derives its name from the time when early pioneers tied six lengths of rawhide thongs (“Ses Rieme”) together to draw water from these pools.
Day 4: Drive from Sesriem to Swakopmund ( German-influenced town of Swakopmund)

Today, you’ll make the drive to Swakopmund (224 mi), a coastal city facing the Atlantic Ocean.
As you depart the Namib Desert from Sesriem, continue north along the eastern boundary of Namib Naukluft Park. You’ll then pass through the small settlement of Solitaire and onward via the Gaub and Kuiseb canyons. Continue across the gravel plains of the Namib Desert toward the country’s largest coastal town, Swakopmund. If there’s time, you may wish to travel to Swakopmund via the erosional feature of Moon Valley and see Namibia’s ancient plant species, called the Welwitschia mirabilis, which is endemic to the Namib Desert.

Day 5: Explore Swakopmund & Walvis Bay 9Sand dunes near the town of Walvis Bay)

Today, you’ll have the entire day to explore Swakopmund, and another picturesque coastal town nearby called Walvis Bay at your own pace. Though Walvis Bay doesn’t have the same charming German architecture as Swakopmund (thanks to the British), you can find a new waterfront development, great food options, and beautiful dunes that jut up against the Atlantic.
You can also sign up for one of the unique experiences in the area, like the Dolphin Cruise, which sets sail from Walvis Bay Harbour. This is ideal for travelers who’d like to get up close to dolphins, as well as Cape fur seals and flamingo colonies. In addition, there are more desert day-trip excursions to choose from, like quad biking or dune boarding.
Day 6: Drive from Swakopmund to Spitzkoppe (Unique rock formations of pink granite in Spitzkoppe)

This morning, plan on an early departure from Swakopmund as you make your way to Spitzkoppe (112 mi/180 km). You’ll first head northbound through the National West Coast Recreational Area toward the small fishing town of Henties Bay. If you have time, make sure to stop in Cape Cross and say hello to the Cape fur seal colony here (this is also the place where the first European set foot on the coast of Namibia in 1486.)
Leaving the coast, you’ll continue toward the region known as Spitzkoppe, called “Matterhorn of Namibia,” which consists of a group of bald granite peaks between Usakos and Swakopmund in the Namib Desert. The granite is more than 120 million years old, and the highest outcrop rises about 5669 feet (1,728 m) above sea level. Prepare to be wowed: The peaks stand out dramatically from the flat surrounding plains and beckon outdoor enthusiasts. The highest peak is about 2,200 feet (670 m) above the floor of the desert below, while a minor peak—called the Little Spitzkoppe—lies nearby at an elevation of 5,197 feet (1,584 m).
Day 7: Drive from Spitzkoppe to Windhoek

After breakfast, grab your camera and take advantage of the morning light. This beautiful area is a hikers’ and rock climbers’ paradise, and the view from the top of the peaks is an incredible reward for the effort to get there. For history buffs, organized guided walks are available where a guide will take you to view some of the numerous rock art sites, explaining the stories captured in the ancient drawings.
When you’re ready, make the drive back to Windhoek (174 mi/280 km) for your last night of the trip. If there’s time left in the afternoon, feel free to visit any museums, craft stalls, and restaurants that you may have missed at the beginning of your trip. Of course, you can find plenty of options for places to sit back and sip an ice-cold beer.
Day 8 : Depart Windhoek

It’s time to say goodbye to Namibia! After breakfast at your hotel in Windhoek, depart for the airport with enough time to return your rental car and board your flight home. Safe travels!

Songkran culture and traditions are also prominent here, where many would visit the local temples to make merit and take part in special ceremonies. Afterwards, you can catch lively cultural performances, as well as attend festive street parades and beauty pageants.

Sri Lanka: Swim With Whales
2025-04-10 08:00 - 2025-04-16 17:00 | srilanka, Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka: Ancient Civilisation
Endless beaches, timeless ruins, welcoming people, oodles of elephants, rolling surf, cheap prices, fun trains, famous tea and flavorful food make Sri Lanka irresistible. Sri Lanka’s 2000-plus years of culture can be discovered at ancient sites where legendary temples boast beautiful details even as they shelter in caves or perch on prominent peaks. The charming island nation of Sri Lanka is located in the Indian Ocean, southeast of the Arabian Sea. Blessed with a rich history of over 3,000 years, it is one of the most important Buddhist centres in the world. Rising above its conflicted past, the country has emerged stronger and is in the midst of a huge wave of development. Connecting its villages with urban towns, the country offers travellers an intriguing mix of natural beauty, culture and spirituality.

Ye sab thik hai par swim with whale ka kya?
For several years, Sri Lanka has been able to boast of being the world’s top location to spot Blue Whales and Sperm Whales as they travel a long distance to warmer feeding grounds in the Bay of Bengal. Sperm Whales, Blue Whales, and pilot Whales appear off the eastern coast of Trincomalee.In March and April each year, blue whales migrate through the warm, clear coastal waters of Sri Lanka. When this incredible event occurs, we are there to meet them.
You can swim/snorkel with the largest mammals on earth in their natural habitat. With up to 100 feet long and upwards of 200 tons Blue whales are friendly giants whose diet is composed nearly exclusively of tiny shrimplike animals called krill. The sperm whale is the largest of the toothed whales and can easily recognized by its massive head and prominent rounded forehead containing the largest brain of any creature known to have lived on Earth.
With the help of expert guides, we will put you right in the path of the largest animal that has ever lived, observing the whales as they briefly slip by under the surface.
You plunge into the water in front of a behemoth and float above it or free-dive down to its eye level as it glides past. You feel like an insect next to its unimaginable bulk. Perhaps you see a glimmer of recognition; a slight flick of its eye in your direction. After a few tantalizing seconds, the whale mysteriously dissolves back into the deep blue void, surfacing 10-12 minutes later for another few breaths before diving again.

Dates: 10-April -16-April

Arrival at Colombo and transfer to Nuwara Eliya

Upon arrival and going through the immigration process we’ll drive to our very first destination of this country, Nuwara Eliya. Often referred to as ‘Little England’, this genteel highland community does have a rose-tinted, vaguely British-country-village feel to it, with its colonial-era bungalows, Tudor-style hotels, well-tended hedgerows and pretty gardens. Indeed, Nuwara Eliya is one of the most favoured cool-climate escapes for you. Check in at your hotel here and relax for a while before heading out to the most iconic place to spend the evening here, Gregory Lake.

DAY 02: 11-April
Hike to World’s End and walk endlessly through the gorgeous tea plantation

After getting up early in the morning and having our breakfast we’ll start a hike to the world’s end. The Horton Plains plateau comes to a sudden end at World’s End, a stunning escarpment that plunges 880m. The 9.5km round trip takes a leisurely three hours and the view from World’s End is unencumbered. After that, we’ll walk the most famous tea plantation and can also visit the tea factory for a tea-tasting session.

DAY 03: 12-April
Nuwara Eliya to Mirissa via Ella
After waking up to the beautiful view and having our breakfast we’ll drive along the most scenic roads in Sri Lanka. We’ll visit Ella and take photos in front of the most iconic 9-arches bridge before reaching our destination for today, Mirissa. Fringing two sandy bays separated by a rock island reachable at low tide, Mirissa feels hidden away compared to Sri Lanka’s other busier resort towns. Mirissa’s beach and nightlife make it a popular tourist destination. Throw your bags as soon as we reach our hotel and head directly to the beach to crack open a coconut, slip into a hammock and rock gently in the breeze, and allow the hours, to slip calmly by.

DAY 04: 13-April
Whale watching at Mirissa and Party in the evening

Today we’ll spend a day watching the peaceful, gorgeous and totally harmless giant, Whale from a boat ride near Mirissa. Later in the evening, we’ll party on the beach or in our hotel where we’ll be staying.
If you are not doing this activity then Mirissa has allot to offer, we can explore the city.

DAY 05: 14-April
Daytrip to Galle and Transfer to Hikkaduwa via Unawatuna
We’ll check out from the hotel after having our breakfast and drive to the Dutch capital of the country, Galle. A Unesco World Heritage Site, this historic city is a delight to explore on foot, an endlessly exotic old trading port blessed with imposing Dutch-colonial buildings, ancient mosques and churches, grand mansions and museums, Galle is a jewel. From there we’ll drive to our next destination today Unawatuna Beach and then finally rest at Hikkaduwa for the day. We’ll enjoy snorkelling here at Hikkaduwa Beach.
DAY 06: 15-April
Hikkaduwa to Colombo
Today we’ll drive to our last destination, Colombo. The commercial capital of Sri Lanka, Colombo city has plenty of gifts to offer you that will leave you breathless. This city is very popular for holding the old and new culture as well as the history of the country very carefully. Besides, this city also comes with exciting nightlife as well as some world-class restaurants, which attract numerous people every year in this city. Furthermore, this city has been an eighth-century port, which houses different administrative and financial offices that are relevant to the travellers. Also, these offices are considered as the finest part of the colonial structures. We can also spend our evening shopping for our friends and family at the famous Pettah Market.

ANTARCTICA EXPEDITION 2024 && 2025
2024-12-01 08:00 - 2024-12-11 17:00 | antarctica, Antarctica
ANTARCTICA

Discover the Antarctic Peninsula, where endless white mountains roll to the horizon and massive glaciers churn icebergs into the sea. Here, nature reigns: penguins teeter along the shore, seals loll on ice slabs, and humpbacks and orca whales break the water’s surface. Travelling with a team of experts aboard the state-of-the-art cruise encounter this otherworldly place close-up, gliding around enormous tabular icebergs by Zodiac or kayak, and walking along beaches peppered with penguins and seals.
Just Pay 50k and Book a slot and the rest you can pay in Instalments.
Before We go forward, let’s understand what kind of cruise goes to Antarctica:
1. Why Antarctica?
I mean why not, in the lower part of the world, the South pole, a place which plays a major in the world’s weather and the topmost for most of the traveller’s bucket list?
2. From which country to start the journey?
Argentina is the closest port to Antarctica so major cruises start from Ushuaia. Else Chile also provides cruises but those are costly so try for Argentina only.
3. What type of Antarctica trips are there and what is the difference?
Luxury Cruise Line :
ANTARCTICA has two types of cruises, one is luxury cruise lines, where you travel with >1000 people and live like in a luxury hotel but
No landing on Antarctica
No zodiacs
Days range from 10-14
cost: 5000-6000$
these cruises are cheap and take you to Antarctica and you see it but cannot touch it .
Expedition Cruises:
These cruise lines are small ships and Carry 100-200 max on one journey. These are not too much luxury or if they are they charge you a bomb.
Unlike Luxury cruises these cruises allow you to
Land on Antarctica
Camping for one night
Kayaking in Antarctica
Whale watching (close calls)
Hike on Antarctica till the Penguin colony
Cost: 10000-13000$
so here you can see the major difference between these cruises, the major is costing part and most of the travellers focus on cost only.

Daywise Itinerary
DAY 1 | ARRIVE IN USHUAIA, ARGENTINA

You will begin your journey in Ushuaia, a small but bustling port town at the tip of South America. This Argentine town
is an ideal gateway for you to explore the southern extent of Patagonia while preparing for your adventure ahead. Get active in the mountains or enjoy handcrafted chocolate at a café in town.

DAY 2 | EMBARK

DAYS 3 & 4 | CROSSING THE DRAKE PASSAGE

What makes the Drake Passage so infamously rough is the fact that currents at this latitude meet no resistance from any landmass, anywhere on the planet. Coupled with the area’s propensity for high wind, a crossing of the Drake Passage can be quite the adventurous exploit.

DAYS 5–8 | SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS & ANTARCTIC PENINSULA

Many parts of the peninsula were named by different countries, usually based on the names of the various explorers involved and this gave rise to some disagreements. It was not until 1966 that the name Antarctic Peninsula was finally internationally agreed but the northern part is still known as Graham Land and the more southerly section as Palmer Land. During the Second World War Britain set up bases here later followed by research stations.

DAYS 9 & 10 | CROSSING THE DRAKE PASSAGE

DAY 11 | DISEMBARK IN USHUAIA

You will arrive in Ushuaia in the morning, which allows you to continue your adventure onward or catch your flights home

Varkala & Alleppey Road Trip
2024-08-01 08:00 - 2024-08-04 17:00 | Kerala, India
Varkala
Perched almost perilously along the edge of majestic 49ft- (15m) high red laterite cliffs, 31 miles (50km) northwest of Trivandrum, Varkala has a naturally beautiful setting that has allowed it to steadily grow into Kerala’s most popular backpacker hang-out. A small strand of golden beach nuzzles Varkala’s North Cliff area, where restaurants play innocuous music and shops sell elephant-stamped trousers, silver jewellery and cotton yoga-mat bags.

Alleppey
Alappuzha – most still call it Alleppey – is the hub of Kerala’s backwaters, home to a vast network of waterways, over a thousand houseboats and an important coir industry. Wandering around the small but chaotic city centre, with its modest grid of canals, you’d be hard-pressed to agree with the ‘Venice of the East’ tag, and, sadly, at research time a hulking new highway flyover was marring the beauty of Alleppey’s popular beach.
Day 1
Land in Kochi
Kochi to Varkala Drive about 4hours (160kms)
Reach Varkala, enjoy the Varkala Beach and Cliffside cafes and shopping

2024-02-23 08:00 - 2024-02-26 17:00 | puri
JAGANNATH – PURI

Puri: Lord Krishna’s heart:
The Puri temple is also famous because many legends believe that Krishna’s heart was placed there and the material that it is made from damages the heart so they have to change it every seven years. The temple is sacred to all Hindus, and especially to those of the Vaishnava traditions.

Jagannath: Lord Ram’s family deity

Both the Ramayana and Mahabharata also mention Lord Jagannath. In the Ramayana Lord Ram tells Vibhishan that Jagannath is the family deity of his Ikshvaku clan. Then Vibhishan is said to have composed a hymn praising the god and even today there is a ritual in the temple called ‘Vibhishan bandana’.

Travel Buddies is going explore one of the most mysterious and religious places in the world.

Specialized for Parents, You with your parents and 60+ solo travellers!
Why us?
We have been travelling and organizing trips since 20144, have been to 65 countries and explored most of India. We are starting this kind of trip because our parents also want to travel, we know what kind of hotels they need, what kind of food they need and what type of slow pace trip they need.
Itinerary:
Day 1: Bhubaneswar – Beaches of Puri
Day 2: Shree Jagannatha Temple
Day 3: Chilika Lake cruise and dolphin
Day 4: Explore the market, fly back

Day 1: 23 Feb
Land in Bhubaneswar and travel to Puri (60 km)

Check in and take some rest, today we will go slow and explore some nearby places in the evening.

Puri Beach, also known as Golden Beach, is one of the finest coastlines in East India, bordering the Bay of Bengal. It is often flocked by devotees visiting the beach for a purification dip who come to Puri to pay their homage to Lord Jagannath. The beach is also renowned for the sand sculptures made by internationally-known sand artist Sudarshan Patnaik.

Lokanath Temple is an ancient temple located in the Puri town. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, it is one of the most important Shiva shrines of Odisha. The unique feature of this temple is that the Shiva linga is always submerged with water. It can only be seen on Pankodhar Ekadasi, before Shivaratri, when the water is comparatively clearer.v
Lighthouse.

Stay in Puri

Day 2: 24 Feb

Jagannath Temple Aarti
Dwarpitha and Mangal Aarti at 5 AM(optional)

Jagannath Temple (9am)

It took three generations’ worth of time and effort to brick up the humongous walls of the famous Puri’s Jagannath Temple located in Odisha. The temple is of utmost importance to the Hindu devotees as it is one of the Char-Dham Pilgrimages. It also serves as a mighty historical structure built about millennia ago, in the year 1078. Millions of people visit Odisha to gain Lord Jagannath blessings.
The temple is famous for its annual Rath Yatra which is witnessed by millions as the three colossal chariots carry the deities. The English word Juggernaut shares its origin from this annual parade. But that’s not the sole speciality of the place! Some enigmatic activities without any scientific explanations have caught the travellers eye worldwide.

Mystery of the temple:
There are two mysteries present at the pinnacle of the temple in the form of the Sudarshan Chakra. The first oddity revolves around the theory of how the hard metal weighing about a tonne, just got up there without any machinery just with a human force of that century.
The second is one deals with the architectural technique related to the Chakra. From every direction you look, the Chakra looks back with the same appearance. It’s like it was designed to look just the same from every direction.

Raghurajpur Craft Village
It goes without saying that consider your trip to Puri incomplete if you skip the visit to Raghurajpur Craft Village, as one of the best things to do at Puri at night is considered to be shopping. Buy the world-famous Pattachitra paintings at prices which are a steal. The paintings are on treated cloth or dried palm leaves or paper. Evenings since late-night remain fun-filled and completely exciting.

Sunset :
This is one of the most prominent points of interest around the city of Puri. The beach is enveloped within a forest cover, adding an exotic element to it. Travellers make it a point to visit this beach for unlimited fun and entertainment. Mahashivaratri festival is celebrated with great fervour at the temple nearby and is visited by thousands of devotees during the festival.

Stay in Puri

Day 3: 25 Feb

Konark Sun Temple

Sun Temple of Konark, built in the middle of 13th century, is a massive conception of artistic magnificence and engineering dexterity. King Narasimhadeva I, the great ruler of the Ganga dynasty had built this temple, with the help of 1200 artisans within a period of 12 years (1243-1255 A.D.). Since the ruler used to worship the Sun, the temple was considered as a chariot for the Sun God. Konark Temple was designed in the form of a gorgeously decorated chariot mounted on 24 wheels , each about 10 feet in diameter, and drawn by 7 mighty horses. It is really difficult to understand, how this huge temple, every inch-space of which was so wonderfully carved, could have been completed within such a short time. Whatever that might be, the konark temple even in its present ruined state, still a wonder to the whole world. Great poet Rabindranath Tagore wrote of Konark: “Here the language of stone surpasses the language of man”.

Chilika Lake cruise /Boat ride (OTDC Ferry ghat):
Today we will go to Chilika Lake to experience the beauty of Lake Chilika and try our luck to see dolphins.
Chilika Lake, located in Odisha is a pear-shaped saltwater lake spreading across around 1100 square kilometres. It is the largest saltwater lagoon in Asia and the second largest in the world. Connected to the Bay of Bengal by a 32 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres wide channel, the exact location of Chilika Lake is in the middle of coastal Odisha.v

Allarnath Temple (if we have time )
Lord Alarnath temple in Brahmagiri, around 25 km from Puri, is not a big tourist destination but a famous religious place for all Krishna devotees. It is explained that in Satya Yuga, Lord Brahma came and worshipped Lord Vishnu here on top of a hill. One day Lord Vishnu appeared and said, “I am very pleased with your worship. Make a four-armed Deity of Me holding shankha, chakra, gada, and padma (conch shell, disk, club, and lotus). The Deity should be made from a piece of black stone. Also install a Deity of Garuda”. Lord Vishnu also said, “This place will be called Brahmagiri (Brahma’s hill) because you have worshipped me here”. According to mythology, the rulers of Alwar in Rajasthan had established the temple here. The temple was later known as Alwarnath or Alarnath.

• DEHRADUN TO SANKRI/KOTGAWN (1,920 M): 187 KM DRIVE IN 8 HOURS

DAY:02
• SANKRI TO JUDA KA TALAB (2,774 M): 4 KM TREK IN B3 TO 4 HOURS

We leave early from Sankri post breakfast and start trekking towards Juda Ka Talab. The path from Sankri to the base camp is a happening one. With kids on their way to the school and local village women starting their daily errands and chores, the trek starts from the village crossing another village, Saud, before you reach the trail that leads to Kedarkantha. The trail takes you into the pine forest and starts to climb sharply until you reach a ridge after a while. On the ridge, the trail evens out and widens. The density of the forest makes the walk very cool for the sun is not able to penetrate through the thickness of the pine and maple trees. You will finally reach Juda Ka Talab, which is a small lake famous for three landmasses floating on it. For the night, we come by the lake and enjoy the dinner under the gleaming presence of billions of stars!v

DAY:03
JUDA KA TALAB TO KEDARKANTHA BASE CAMP (3,429 M): 4 KM IN 3 HOURS

Moving past Juda Ka Talab, a trail takes you deeper into the dense pine forests. Continue walking and you will finally hit a meadow dotted with shepherd’s huts. After climbing another thousand feet, you will reach the destination of the day – Kedarkantha base camp. It takes about 2-3 hours to complete this part of the trek. The trail from Juda Ka Talab till the base camp is indescribably beautiful and mesmerizing. It is the perfect location for photographers and nature lovers! The base camp is colder than the summit because of lack of insulation. Even from the base camp, the famous peaks of Uttarakhand are visible at a stretch, making it the perfect spot to camp at.

DAY:04
• KEDARKANTHA BASE CAMP TO KEDARKANTHA SUMMIT (3,810 M) AND
BACK TO SANKRI/KOTGAWN (2,713 M): 8 KM IN 5-6 HOURS

This is the day you’ve been working hard for! The trek from the base camp to the summit is not a long one. On reaching the summit, your jaw is going to drop and your eyes will not blink. The Kedarkantha summit is marked by an arrangement of stones with a Trishul that points to the sky. The summit offers an astonishing 360-degree view of the peaks of Uttarakhand and the Chaainsheel Pass and Kailash ranges of Himachal.From the top, you can also see the Har Ki Dun valley below. The story behind Kedarkantha is an interesting one. The name literally means the throat of Lord Shiva (Kedar refers to Lord Shiva and Kantha means Throat). The legend has it that this peak was supposed to be the original Kedarnath temple but Lord Shiva, who disguised himself as a cow hiding from the Pandavas was disturbed during meditation by the villagers. The interruption made him change his location from this peak

DAY:05
SANKRI TO DEHRADUN: 187 KM DRIVE IN 7 TO 8 HOURS

Going back home always feels great. But the drive will not make it easy for we take the same alluring road back to Dehradun. The landscape slowly changes from pine forests to wider roads as we head back towards Dehradun, finally opening up into the bustling city life.v
