Idyllic Sunset Cruise in Lake Pichola, Udaipur, Rajasthan

You can never get the most out of Rajasthan in one trip. And Udaipur, a city of many moods and colours and has the grandest, most luxurious resorts and palaces. Over the years, the city, rated as one of the most romantic retreats has drawn honeymooners and seasoned couples in equal parts. But no trip to Udaipur is complete without a sunset boat ride on Lake Pichola. It’s on the pristine waters of Lake Pichola that time comes to a standstill. Enjoy a picturesque view of the city’s havelis, pop the champagne and watch the sun set over Bagore Ki Haveli. The Gangaur Ghat with the triple-arched Tripolia stands as a magnificent piece of architecture at the end of Bagore ki Haveli.

Luxurious Stay in Mountbatten Lodge, Ranakpur, Rajasthan

Escape the hustle and bustle of city for a rewarding experience in the Mountbatten Lodge adjacent to the Kumbalgarh wildlife sanctuary. The luxurious four-suite Mountbatten Lodge is a must-visit for guests staying in Udaipur. Surrounded by wilderness, the Mountbatten Lodge, nestled high in the Aravalli Hills is a throwback to the Rudyard Kipling era, with its high-backed chairs and colonial architecture. Spend your mornings tracking leopards in mobile leopard safaris and enjoy champagne sunsets on the decks at the lodge. Merely an hour’s drive from Udaipur, Mountbatten Lodge is a must-stop if you are passing through Udaipur.


A Day with the Elephants at Kanam Estate, Kerala

There is more to Kerala than just scenic backwaters, elongated shorelines and lush green foliage. Enjoy a day with an elephant on Kanam Estate, a 5-bedroom hotel on a rubber plantation poised midway between Cochin, the backwaters and Thekkady. Take a ride through the surrounding plantations on Laxmi, the 30-year-old resident elephant, and watch her at work, lugging wood through the plantation. Start your day by feeding her breakfast, a bunch of bananas and take a languorous walk through the countryside with her. And while you are in Kerala, unwind with a rejuvenating Ayurvedic spa with your companion.
