Tucked inside the little lanes of Bandra are these old gems — one little cosy, charming bungalow after every 2-3 concrete highrise. Still standing amidst trees as old as them or perhaps, older, these bungalows are a silent testimony of the times that we have lost to ‘development/concretisation’. We looked […]
We decided to stay at The Fog in Munnar, only because it was some 10 kms away (before) from Munnar town, which we knew would be terribly crowded and polluted. Villa houses turned into a sort of resort, The Fog is located amidst spice farms, in a complete no-commercial zone. Thankfully […]
