    Exploring the gems of Gujarat – Adalaj, Modhera and Patan

    poserontour / August 11, 2019 / 2 Comments

    During my second Gujarat visit, I finally got to catch up on the things I’ve missed. When I told people first about Gujarat, often the reactions are something like “Gujarat? What do you want THERE?” The clearly have no idea what they’re missing out on! Do check out my blog on day 1 of my trip!

    The morning of day 2 started with a shock: it wasn’t possible to book any Uber or OLA Outstation cabs on such a short notice! The earliest was 4 or 5 pm. I had done it from Delhi to Agra in the past with only 1 hr in advance and simply assumed it would be like this again. Luckily, Russell had randomly spoken about it to our first cab driver the day before and taken his number. He was still free and able to take us on such short notice. Phew!

    Exploring the gems of Gujarat – Ahmedabad

    poserontour / August 10, 2019 / 0 Comments

    Two and a half years back, I did my very first solo trip: an unforgettable roundtrip through Gujarat. Exploring Ahmedabad with its stepwells, mosques, temples, and Old City, the Jain temples on the mountains in Palitana and Junagadh, the beaches in Diu and Mandhvi, the temples in Somnath and Dwarka and the Great Rann of Kutch in the Thar Desert. As amazing as it was, two places were still missing: the Sun Temple in Modhera and Rani ki Vav, a stepwell in Patan. Little did I know that they turned out to be the absolute highlights in the whole of Gujarat which nobody should miss!

    Welcome to Delhi – A short guide for firangs

    poserontour / June 15, 2019 / 0 Comments

    I always had the intention of writing about my experiences in India – New Delhi in particular – and to give all those firangs (foreigners), who are fully new to India, a bit of a crash course. After we just recently welcomed our new French flatmate and I got to know about such basic issues, I thought it’s high time I get started 🙂 So here you go, a short overview of all the basics you need in the initial days.

    The Love Story of Sultan Baz Bahadur and Rani Roopmati

    poserontour / May 1, 2019 / 2 Comments

    Let me tell you the love story of the Sultan of Malwa, Baz Bahadur, and the singing shepherdess Roopmati who should become his queen. It’s not only a story of a royal wedding without motives like lust or a political alliance, but also of a tie between Hindus and Muslims.

    It’s a wonder that there’s no movie with Deepika and Ranveer yet. I guess death by fire was more dramatic than poison, otherwise, Padmaavat might have become Roopmati instead. So let’s get started!

    On the Road to Kasol: Exploring the Enchanting Journey

    poserontour / April 20, 2019 / 0 Comments

    This trip should be titled “most unprepared trip in the history of this Poser”. Since I didn’t move my bum out of bed anymore after coming back from my 24 km trek, which left me fully sunburned, I neither knew the bus timings to Kasol nor did I get money to pay the hotel bill.

    A Hike to Solang Valley: Following the Cotton Candy

    poserontour / April 19, 2019 / 1 Comment

    I woke up to a clear blue sky and a warm sun – which already made my day (not knowing yet that I would curse it later and beg for some clouds to appear).

    The first and most important thing to do before starting my hike to Solang Valley, was to finally wash my hair! The hotel didn’t have a hair dryer and the thought alone of drying them in the cold air made me fall sick.

    Jogni Falls: A Magical Waterfall and Endless Apple Orchards

    poserontour / April 18, 2019 / 3 Comments

    I must’ve slept for 10 or 11 hours straight – fully deserved if you ask me. Since there was only a rather short hike of maybe 12-14 km to Jogni falls on my agenda, I felt that I had all the time in the world.

    Around 10 am, my phone rang and the hotel guy asked if I wanted breakfast. Ok fiiiine, one reason to finally get up. After getting ready and just locking my door, one of the hotel guys randomly came up and unexpectedly brought my order – great! Breakfast on the balcony it was then 🙂
