Dreamway, Morni Hills

Title – Service with Smile Rating – 4 (Very Good) Stay in a Hotel is not always about Luxury, Big Rooms or Lavish Infrastructure, sometimes its about how  you are getting serviced by the Staff & Attendants of the Hotel.. specially when you get Service with Smile, you feel delighted... This review of mine is solely dedicated to the Staff of the Hotel who were very humble, polite in attitude and above all, Smiling... Hotel Dreamway is situated on Chandigarh Morni Road and is approx. 45 kms from Chandigarh (5 Kms ahead of Morni). Hotel has its own parking and the same is not an issue. 9 Rooms with attached Washrooms, open Lawns, open Restra and beautiful view are highlights of the Hotel. Its just on the road so locating this Hotel is not a challenge at all. As mentioned earlier also, staff was very Polite and smiling throughout. I asked for Bon-fire and they arranged it in no time. Fire in chilly weather was icing on the cake, Enjoyed a lot. Come here for ...

Hidimba Devi Temple, Manali (Landmark Review)

Title – The most visited Tourist Spot of Manali Rating – 4 (Very Good) Hidimba who was wife of Bheem and mother of Ghatotkach has this temple after her name which is situated in Manali and is one of the most visited tourist spot of Manali.  There is hardly any tourist who visits Manali and does not pay his obeisance here. Situated amidst the huge and tall Trees, this place is a peaceful and important point from religious point of view. Walking distance from Mall Road is just 15-20 minutes and one can reach here easily and feel holy charm of this place. There are few Dhabas situated in the vicinity of this place from where one can have snacks, tea, coffee and other things to eat. A nice place and a must visit place when one visit Manali...

Essel World, Mumbai (Landmark Review)

Title – Essel World mein Rahunga Me, Ghar Nahi Jaunga Me… J Rating – 5 (Excellent) Known worldwide as Paradise for Kids, this place without doubt is actually a Paradise but not only for kids but also for teenagers and adults. World class swings, amazing rides and pure ambience with songs playing all around the premises of Essel World makes you feel as if you’re somewhere else and not in this World. The place is away from hustle and bustle of Mumbai and peacefully located on shoreline of the Gorai Beach . To quote an example, when you go from Bangkok City to Coral Island on a ferry ride, the same way, you go from Gorai Beach to Essel World after ferry ride of 15-20 minutes (cost of ferry ride is 50 Rs. per head to be paid at the ticket counter of Essel World). Being there is a lifetime experience and you become a Kid again automatically and run here and there for rides, swings and dance to the tunes of bollywood songs (such is the charisma of the park). I literally en...

Hazi Ali, Mumbai (Landmark Review)

Title – N ice, Peaceful and Distinguished Experience Rating – 4 (Very Good) Visiting Mumbai would be incomplete without paying a visit to this historic mosque called Hazi Ali, not only for its religious reasons but also for its appearance in a number of bollywood movies and great architecture, so we decided to have a glimpse of it on 24 th Oct. 2015. On reaching there, we observed lot of waste products, bottles, waste material, polythene bags were lying along the path that was leading to the mosque and we got upset that such a beautiful and important shrine is not maintained at all by its management committee. Smell of non-veg that was being served in the Dhabas near shrine was also upsetting. It’s only after reaching the mosque, we took a sigh of relief as the campus area of shrine is well maintained and the same was clean and pure. The Dargah is very beautifully made and is one of the precious and old monuments of the country. You get peace of mind and can witness Qw...

Juhu Beach, Mumbai (Landmark Review)

Title – The hub of Masti, Pao-Bhaji and Golas Rating – 3 (Average) On the evening of 23 rd Oct, 2015, we decided to go to Juhu Beach , Mumbai, our first destination to explore during our Mumbai Tour. Juhu beach is located on the shores of Arabian Sea . One of the most popular tourist attractions and favorite place for shooting of bollywood movies. Juhu beach is one of the most famous beaches of Mumbai from tourism as well as commercial point of view. Lot of people visit there every day. It’s the main tourist point with beach side eatery shops where one can enjoy Pao Bhaji (starting from Rs. 90 per plate), Paani Poori, snacks and Golas (starting from Rs. 40/- per Gola). The beach was over crowded due to some Pooja and immersing of Idols was going on there but that’s also something that we witnessed during our visit and enjoyed watching them performing their rituals and worships. The sad and disheartening part was that the beach is not maintained at all and due to high...
