Kaleswari Travels

Dark clouds bewitched the mother earth further leading to a heavy downpour resembling like spells cast all over the surface. Amidst all these, there stood a man fighting against the heavy bouldering drizzle with an umbrella in one hand and bucks in another, waiting in the queue, the front of the bus reservation counter to get to his native. With the shuttering sounds of the windows, his voice was not heard to the ticket reservation clerk who asked him to leave.

A Visit 2 AGRA with TG’s Alluring Offer

A place where weather or climatic condition does not influence the thriving tourists in stopping their visit to India’s most beautiful destination known for the intricate carvings of the white-marbled grandeur, Taj Mahal or the captivating architectural archetype of the Mughals, Jama Masjid or the Mughal Emperor, Akbar’s holistic capital also known as the deserted city, Fatehpur Sikri. Agra houses these charismatic heritage sites whose significance is well-known to people of all ages and has further impacted in shaping India’s history right from the classic Mahabharata to the influential Mughal dynasty. Agra has indeed undergone several transitions in its name as well from Agrevana during the Lodi dynasty to Akbarabad during the Mughal reign and finally as Agra during the supremacy of the Marathas.

Though the transitions were not idle, the culture of the city was also not still with different religions flourishing. So, do you not want to visit this mesmerizing land to experience the hidden joy in sight-seeing the rich architectures that are all the traces of the ancient era? Here are some of the top places to visit in Agra that will leave you fascinated:

Taj Mahal

The first thing that comes to every traveler’s mind is to visit this marvel creation of Shah Jahan’s, one of the Seven Wonders of the World; Taj Mahal is also known as an epitome of love that was built for his wife Mumtaz whose body is enshrined in the tomb here. Situated near the banks of river Yamuna, Taj Mahal is marvelously constructed with gemstones by over 22k artisans with verses of Quran imprinted on its walls truly reflecting the Persian and Mughal Architecture. The interior of the Mahal goes hand in hand with the exterior which is impressively decorated with semi-precious stones. Bounded by well-trimmed bushes and water showers, a visit to this place is indeed romantic.

From Delhi: 238kms

Fatehpur Sikri

Of the so many places to visit in Agra, Fatehpur Sikri is one of the ancient places that take us back to Akbar’s reign who declared this city as the capital of the Mughal Empire. Being the capital, the city had undergone constructions of gardens, mosques, utility structures and roads.

Moti Masjid

Yet another wonder of Shah Jahan who constructed this monument on the sloping ground for the royal members of the court. It is also referred to as Pearl Mosque because of its bright and shining feature when sun’s radiations fall onto it.

So, what is it that’s going on in your mind? It’s time that you immediately visit TicketGoose website for making an online booking to visit this place rather than scrolling down the images because the firm has released an Alluring April offer where you get to save Rs. 250 (Rs. 200 in your wallet and Rs.50 instant discount while booking) on your bookings that is valid till end of April 2017 .

A Different Reason to Visit the Northeast

You may have enough reasons to visit this enchanting land referred to as “Northeast India” for reasons may vary from person to person. For most, the region offers cultures — ranging from food, dance, attire as well as the people — unique in themselves as compared to the rest of India. It is true that here, one will get a feel of Southeast Asia despite being in India.

There is, however, another aspect which we often tend to miss out despite the obvious signs. The mist-filled hills of the area may reminds us of Wales, Scotland or the Nordic areas with striking similarities between the former and the latter lot, while the eerie and uncanny secrets behind the mists tend to remain veiled.

It may come as a surprise to many that the Northeast has an equally rich collection of ghost stories as well as tales of black magic and witches, just like Great Britain. Being a big region, it will not be possible for you to embark on a tour to all of these places. However, there are certain locations which will interest you. This, I say, from my own personal experience.

PPIs — Places of Particular Interest:

1. Mayong — Located just 50 km away from Guwahati, in the Nowgong district, this town is famous throughout the region for being inhabited by black magicians. Many youngsters willing to impress people the ‘short-cut’ way seek help from magicians here, who can work ‘wonders’ with their potions as well as amulets to make you ‘spell-bound’. Most locals seem to avoid the town and its inhabitants for their own safety.

2. Silchar — Located 229 km to the south of Shillong, is the city of Silchar, in the Barak Valley region of South Assam. The fertile green plains and valleys around the city are abound with tales of ghosts and jinns. It is believed that in the death of night a tall, shadowy figure often stands with his legs stretched out to the two ends of a road in an extremely threatening manner. He is said to be harmless to those who are fearless. Jinns possessing human beings, when the latter harm disguised entities are common tales. You can take a personal look at exorcisms, if you happen to know experts, or a friend who does.

3. Shillong — There are a lot of haunted places in this hill-station, also known as ‘Scotland of the East’. The city has its roots in colonial days, when soldiers of the mighty British Empire were camped here. A lot of British legacy in terms of culture as well as a church can be found here. The most interesting spot worth a visit here is Beaver Road in Oakland. Try take a walk along the meandering paths late in the evening and you will have a close shave with the ‘other entities’, if lucky. It is said that the souls of Britishers from the colonial era still wander around.

4. Nohkalikai Falls — The Nohkalikai Falls in Cherrapunjee (53 km south-west of Shillong) is the falls you need to visit not only for its natural beauty, courtesy the green pool below it, but also for the eerie story surrounding it. It is said that a local Khasi woman, Ka Likai, committed suicide after her second husband cooked her little daughter for dinner. The woman ate after a long day’s work and uncovered the horror after discovering the little girl’s fingerlings. Nohkalikai translates as ‘Jump of Likai’. It is a tourist destination now.

5. Jatinga — Located in the North Cachar Hills, now called Dima Hasao, district of Assam, this is the supernatural place where even the ones with weak hearts may visit. The ‘mass suicides’ committed by birds towards the end of the monsoon season is an eerie sight. The preconditions for this phenomenon to occur are slightly foggy conditions, winds blowing from the south to north; and the time between 7–10 pm. The ambience will scare you up for sure.

Visit more and you will unravel more here. It has to be borne in mind that such superstitions and beliefs have been fatal at times for locals. Thus, it may not be as funny or curious as you think. However, if you are looking for a trip ahead, you will definitely want to check out on those aspects as well. The locals will be more than willing to help you.You can book your Bus Tickets in TicketGoose.Some of the travel operators providing their services are Jagnath Travels,Paulo Travels,SVR Travels,National Travels and Greenline Travels

Nagpur- Discover what’s left behind!

From Hyderabad: 432km

Maharashtra, a metropolitan city is one of the busiest cities in India that is known as “The Globe of Bollywood”. Don’t just get fooled around on hearing this as there is something more for one to know about it. This state boasts of its winter capital that has an amazing literacy rate and holds RBI’s maximum gold chunks. If you are still wondering, then let me help you, it’s Nagpur, also called as the Orange City and “The Tiger Capital of India”. Once known as a center of Maratha reign is now a state of political importance and a place of the well-known Dalit Buddhist Movement.

Any side you take in Nagpur, all that you get to see is liveability, greenery, health care indices and public transports. Besides being the largest reserves of the tiger in India, it also has a glorious past, making Nagpur a picturesque location. If you are thinking to take a bus from Hyderabad to Nagpur, then either book via SRS Travels or Kaleswari Travels as you need not feel your nine hours journey to be the toughest. Here are few among the many things about this place that would shock you.

There is a double diamond crossing line in Nagpur that is rarely seen at other locations connecting destinations like Howrah- Rourkela- Raipur, New Delhi, Mumbai, and Kazipet. Secondly, Nagpur is an abode to several tiger reserves in the nation thereby making Maharashtra the third largest place of tiger population and so, make your visit to Nagzira Wildlife Sanctuary to experience the adrenaline rush of seeing giant marks of paws on the ground. Next is a fire service college that was started in the year 1956 at the Old Settlement Commissioner Building. This location was chosen as it would be the best place for conducting fire drills. Another point worth sight-seeing is atop a hill that expresses a rich mythological belief; Ramtek Fort Temple, a temple where Lord Rama believed to have taken rest before leaving to Lanka, and thus, this temple is dedicated to Lord Rama.

Thus, there are several other places that would surely behold your eyes. So, if you are planning a visit to this heart-warming destination then, I would suggest you book your travel at TicketGoose.com (leading online bus ticket booking portal) coz every perfect visit requires an ideal journey and with TicketGoose, avail the comfort in booking and travel like never before.

Traveling this summer? Take a Look at these!

How is it going to look when people around you are busy taking snaps with their hats on but you, engaged in looking after your luggage? Summer is on its way and there are millions out there to choose a destination as a step towards rejuvenation but will it be fair enough to be sweaty throughout your travel and weary carrying loads? So, the planning stage for your trip is going to be crucial, influential and a pleasurable part of an experience as well but rather than reaching out for guides for your support just scroll down to see what best can you avail from the write-up.

Before your trip, quite a few accessories are worth arranging, to name some; your travel ticket, clothing, debit or credit wallet, valuables, medical and personal needs and, so you might be wondering how to put a whole lot of luggage in a small suitcase? The answer is simple, discard what is not much important than the rest like razors, soaps, shampoos, bathroom slippers coz these will be available in the deserts as well. Jokes apart! Pack your clothes; pants/shorts, tops, swimsuits, jackets, scarf, socks and towels in airless baggies or clothes compressors as these occupies most of your space and, for smaller miscellaneous stuff like ear plugs, gadgets, and medicine, use mesh bags or packing cubes.

Once when this is done, it means half of your packing is already over and if there is something to concentrate on, then it is going to be packing a hand luggage to keep your wallet, travel related documents and papers, your refreshing kit and a hand towel. But one suggestion, you can have all these in a backpack itself.

Wait, did I forget something. Yes, please do carry an umbrella or a hat to break away from terrifying sun’s rays. At last! All I have to say is, “Go light, simple and sporty” because at the latter half of your travel I don’t want you to feel “I should have packed light”.

Unknown yet Amazing Facts about Goa

Goa, no less than a paradise is known for its pristine beaches, crystal clear water studded with lush greenery around and the most sportive spot of the nation gathering millions around at all season of the year, but there is a myriad of incredible aspects hidden in a pint size walnut that might leave you startled. We know that Goa is the richest state, the smallest yet the most literate state and a place loved by tourists for spending their weekend getaways as a sense of rejuvenation and realm. Goa- steeped deep in History, its culture is truly unbounded and international. So, let’s take a shot glimpse of what can flabbergast you;

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Goa? Yea, you are right, Bars. A small state like Goa has a huge number of licensed bars with number outranging to 7000. If licensed includes this many then what would be the total tally of unlicensed as well. Astounding isn’t it? But it’s prevailing. Now, looking onto our second aspect, it is the non-decomposing body of St. Francis Xavier;

When the Portuguese ruled Goa, St. Xavier, in the year 1542 started his mission of spreading the gospel. He tried to instill the faith of Christianity in one and as part of his duty, went ahead to introduce Christianity in China. His trip continued from place to place and on a visit to Macau, he died and from where his body was brought back to Goa in the year 1553. His decomposing body now remains the world-famous Basilica of Jesus Church. The third aspect embraces of the abundant ecosystem spread over the state with 275 species of birds and 40 different types of animals and reptiles all protected in the wildlife sanctuary of the state.

Asia’s only Naval Museum exists in Goa with six others in the world. The museum displays the aviation history displaying contemporary aircraft, helicopters, a giant ship called Lockheed Super Constellation and other famed aircraft.

These are all just a few amongst the many existing here, to name some, its temples, first English and medical school, two-wheeler taxi and the rest.

Secunderabad – The Twin Brother of Hyderabad

Both nationally as well as internationally, Hyderabad is most famous as ‘twin cities’. Yes, the other twin is called Secunderabad. It is not as historic as Hyderabad, but is home to the Hussain Sagar Lake, which practically divides Secunderabad from Hyderabad.

Secunderabad is famous for its railway station — which happens to be one of the major railway stations in the city. In fact, it is quite arguable that the station is the most biggest and important in the city. The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) is located at a distance of 36 km from the Secunderabad railway station. Cabs depending on the driver you choose can easily bring you in for a fare of Rs. 600. Airport buses too ply on this route regularly, though the airport bus stop is a kilometre away and may be a bit difficult for a newcomer to find.

Secunderabad Station (Courtesy — Deccan Chronicle)

The railway station as well as the adjoining bus stands and a bus depot, walk-able from the famous Clock Tower (built by the British in 1896), make it into a real travel hub of the city. There are no areas in the city to which buses from Secunderabad do not ply. One of the reasons why I love to make it to Secunderabad is to catch a bus with readily available seats when I intend to head to the historic Charminar. One is reminded of the horrors of crowded local trains of Mumbai if he or she dares to take a bus from other areas such as Mehdipatnam or Nampally to Charminar.

Clock Tower

Just to spice things a little bit, one of the best Biryani restaurants of the city is located exactly in this location. You don’t even have to walk much. It is just that you reach the station or the bus stand and there you are in front of the Alpha Hotel. Some say that some of the best Pulao dish (a North Indian variant of the Biryani) is only available here. Innumerable eateries are also available in the area. If you have enough time, you can take an autorickshaw for a fare of Rs. 30–50 and head to the Sindhi Colony for some fabulous North Indian delicacies such as chaat and mithai. In cases of emergencies, the famous Yashoda Hospital is also present in the area.

The boarding points for intercity buses are just opposite the railway station and the city bus stop. Many counters of top operators such as Kesineni Travels, VRL Travels,,Meghana Travels,National Travels,Madurai Radha Travels,Greenline Travels,Universal Travels,ABT Travels and others connecting Hyderabad to Mumbai, Chennai, Pune, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and others are all located here.

Ride to Andhra to Clebrate Ugadi

Ugadi or Yugadi in Sanskrit means “beginning of the new age”. The first day of the lunar month, Chaitra is considered to be the auspicious day for the festival’s commemoration. It is a day marking the start of the New Year for the people of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka where this fiesta is celebrated with extreme entertainment and vehemence. It also greets the start of spring with new leaves and buds blooming beautifully thereby creating a spiritual festive mood amongst all. This day signifies two myths; some say it is the day Lord Brahma, the creator of the world started his creation and few others believe the day to be the incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Matsya Avatar.

Be the reason be blended over mythological views, Ugadi gathers the huge attention of people and media as well. Preparation for this festival is planned a week before its commencement with houses cleaned, traditional dresses purchased and with other necessary items procured for decorating the residences. On Ugadi, people wake up before dawn; give a massage to their body and head with Sesame oil and post bathing, starts decorating the entrance of their houses with fresh mango leaves as Lord Kartikeya and Ganesha were very fond of mangoes and tying it on the doorway depicts prosperity and well-being.

This day is also marked by social merriment by preparing delicious dishes and greeting their neighbors with it. In Andhra Pradesh, edibles like Pulihora, Bobbatlu and Ugadi Pachadi are made. The Ugadi Pachadi is nothing but Chutney of six basic delicacies comprising Neem flowers, Jaggery, Green Chilli, Salt, Tamarind and tender Mango seeds each signifying a feeling or emotion with neem flowers denoting sadness, jaggery- happiness, green chilli- anger, salt- fear, tamarind- disgust and mango seeds- surprise. Later, people gather and sit around to listen to Panchanga Sravanam where the elderly will read the almanac.

Some visit temples as well to pray for prosperity and happiness in the New Year. If you are planning to site this festival to know more about its celebration and to get yourselves involved in its rhyme, I suggest you head towards Vijayawada or Hyderabad where it is commemorated with huge zeal and fervor. So, make your bookings only with ticketgoose.com!.Travel operators providing Services to these places are Parveen Travels,Patel Travels,SRM Travels,KPN Travels and SRS Travels.
