PARO TAKTSANG - PARO

It was the 6th of May when i was at Paro, a valley town situated at the western part of Bhutan. Just arriving there on the day before made me feel at ease with its serene environment and a rather unique landscapes.

JAIPUR - THE PINK CITY

 Jaipur is the capital and the largest city of Rajasthan, India. It is also polpularly known by the name of "Pink city" due to dominant colour of the city which is pink.The city is also known for its arts and crafts, which is unique and colourful.

For his visit, Maharaja Ram Singh of Jaipur commanded to paint the entire city pink since the colour symbolises hospitality.

My three days stay there was very fun and interesting. I got to...
