Revving up one road at a time
SkyPark Observation Deck is part of the SkyPark atop Marina Bay Sands. A visit is less about ticking off another attraction and more about taking a moment to understand the city’s layout from above. Look out over the bay, pick out familiar buildings and notice how closely the waterfront, business district and green spaces fit…
A stream of water arcs from the Merlion into Marina Bay, with the illuminated towers of the city rising behind it. This familiar scene is the reason many travellers make their way to Merlion Park Singapore—but the appeal goes beyond the famous photo. The waterfront is a lively place to pause, watch the bay, and…
At Gardens by the Bay garden, a walk among flowers can turn into a dinosaur encounter, a Disney character hunt and an evening beneath glowing Supertrees. That mix made our visit feel less like a quick garden stop and more like exploring several different worlds in one place. The photographs from our visit capture its…
Durga Puja is returning to Swarna Shilpi Vivekananda Kali Mandir in Hyderabad this October. The festival is scheduled from Friday, 16 October to Wednesday, 21 October 2026 at the temple in the Narkuda–Shamshabad area. The six-day programme includes daily puja, Pushpanjali, bhog and aarti.

The Natural History Museum in Thiruvananthapuram is a brilliant stop for curious children and adults. It is inside the Museum and Zoo complex, close to Napier Museum. You can see specimens, skeletons, fossils, birds, models, and displays that make science feel far less like a school chapter. The museum has been open since 1964. It…
Napier Museum is one of Thiruvananthapuram’s best stops for history lovers. Even before you enter, the building grabs your attention. Its colourful walls, steep roof, towers, and leafy setting feel unlike a usual city museum. Inside, you will find bronze images, old coins, carvings, lamps, musical instruments, and royal-era objects. It is a compact museum,…
Kanakakunnu Palace is a calm heritage stop in busy Thiruvananthapuram. It sits on a small hill near Napier Museum and the city zoo. Red brick walls, open lawns, tall trees, and cultural evenings give it a special charm. This is not a palace you rush through with a checklist. It works best as part of…
Varkala is known for its cliff views, beach walks, and cheerful cafés. But a good stay can make the trip feel even better. Villa Luca by Elixir Cliff gave us that slower, greener side of Varkala. The property sits at an elevated spot, so the view from the top is one of its nicest features….
A Varkala trip is often planned for cliffs, cafés, and beach sunsets. Yet, one of its calmest experiences sits quietly near Papanasam Beach. Janardanaswamy Temple is an ancient Vishnu temple where faith, sea air, and Kerala’s old-world charm meet. We stayed close to the temple, so we walked there from our hotel. That made the…
Thiruvananthapuram Zoo is one of the best family-friendly places to visit in Kerala’s capital city. It is green, old, spacious, and located right beside the famous Napier Museum. But here is the thing most people do not realise before entering: this is a big walking trail. You will walk a lot. So plan like you…
