THE MYSTIC MG ROAD - SIKKIM GANGTOK


In remembrance of Mahatma Gandhi  , each road or street in India is named as MG marg. None of the MG marg gives you a worth of an experience except the one and the only exceptional MG Marg in Sikkim.
Breathtaking is the view of this MG marg at Gangtok , that I fell in love by that instant. The freshness in the air, exotic sightseeing, walk on the new market side of the MG marg , sipping hot steaming Sikkim tea, trying the local Tibetan bread blew me off.

View from my room

I visited Sikkim during the month of April and was living in a hotel named Tibetan hotel located at MG Marg. I can say that the view from my hotel was so exhilarating that I could see clouds passing in to my room and best was the view of Mt. Kanchenjunga. Most of the days it was raining and there was chillness in the air , but literally I was inhaling the pure fresh air. At night our room use to get filled with fog or cloud and my friends would light a candle (even though we had current :P) we did hear the peaceful & mesmerizing sound of silence.

Local Cuisine - Sikkim Tea & Tibetan fried bread
Whenever you visit Gangtok , do take a stroll on the MG marg & try the restaurants which delivers exotic Sikkim Food & also never forget to try the Sikkim Tea (Google for the restaurants at MG Sikkim , there will be a lot of options).

Apparently if you wanna own an apartment in Sikkim , you have to live in Sikkim for 30 years ! How much i miss the simolicity and the peacefullness of that place.. A place you must visit... Sikkim.. :)

BEST SUNDAY BRUNCH IN MUMBAI

Image
Who would like to wake up on a Sunday morning after all the late night partying on Saturday night? We get home very late; and very rarely we sleep in our own homes, and when we wake up and have a look at our clocks, it is either 11Am or 12 Pm. At this time on Sunday starts T HE SUNDAY BRUNCH ...... My Experience with Mumbai’s Sunday brunch is limited only to the Luxury hotels only. Worth is the deal they give - Unlimited alcohol, unlimited starters, unlimited main course, unlimited desserts & the favourite part - Unlimited Espresso’s. Hotel - Taj Lands Ends Restaurant - Vista Price - 3800 per head approx . What’s for the Brunch - The best exclusive deal I ever had on this brunch is the Moet & Chand Champagne along with a Sturgeon / Salmon caviar. For 3000 bucks you get the World class champagne along with caviar. Add to this we can also have an unlimited number of Foei grass.  Then we have the various cold cuts. Ranging from the Oysters, Shellfish, Crabs and

Tea tasting @ Darjeeling : Relaxation & Bliss

Image
My new post will be all about Darjeeling .I had recently been to Darjeeling in the month of April (end of the month). It’s a beautiful place and has immense natural beauty, never ending hills and pleasant weather. Darjeeling is connected to bagdogra airport or the NJP Station only by cabs. You get these cabs on share or you rent one. To rent a cab will only cost you 1000-1500; it will take you 4-5 hours to get there. The Best parts of Darjeeling are the Tea Tasting centres. I am not at all a tea lover, was apparently only a coffee lover, but the weather and the simplicity of the northeast made me taste various kinds of Tea at Nathmulls. It was so relaxing to the mind and body. I fell in love with the place and the Tea!! Hence from here my Love for “ONLY” Darjeeling or you can say authentic tea had started.  Do taste the “First Flush”/ “Second Flush” tea products as they are the most exotic & aromatic of all the Tea’s exquisite products’. P.S Tea with
