“Nahi haal e Dehli sunane ke qabil
ye qissa hai rone rulane ke qabil
Ujade luteron ne wo qasr is ke
jo the dekhne aur dikhane ke qabil
Na ghar hai na dar hai raha ik Zafar hai
faqat haal e Dehli sunane ke qabil” – Anonymous

Old Delhi is known for its finger licking street food and amazing architecture. Old Delhi is the perfect example of Mughal architecture. While taking a stroll through the lanes of old Delhi you realize that every wall has a story to tell.
The nearest metro station is Chandni chowk, we started our journey by taking off at the Chandni chowk metro station. You will see these small lanes with vendors selling their stuff. Chandni chowk is also famous for its cloth market They have amazing range of wedding dresses.

OLD FAMOUS JALEBI WALA

Entering the market, the first thing that you will see will be this small shop that was established in 1884 known as old famous jalebi wale. Their amazing jalebis and samosa are the perfect way to start your food journey.

PRICE: 50 bucks for 100grams (roughly a piece).

DAULAT KI CHAT

Throughout your street food tour, you will see these small vendors selling this dish called “Daulat Ki Chat”. It is quite famous in old Delhi, so I had to try them. I bought a plate for 50 bucks but did not like the taste of it whereas my friends were enjoying it. Daulat Ki Chat is a milk-based dessert that is available only in winters.

PRICE: 50 bucks

GOLE HATTI

One of my friends suggested this place and thank god we listened. Golle hatti has some amazing cholle bhature and palak cholle chawal. After a long walk, we had our dinner at gole hatti. They have seating arrangements as well. The taste was amazing.

PRICE: 60 bucks for cholle bhature and 70 bucks for chawal cholle palak

GIANI’S DI HATTI

No food walk to Old Delhi is complete without the delicious rabri faluda from Giani’s di hatti. I am such a big fan of this rabri faluda and the price is also quite affordable. The taste is worth every penny.

PRICE: 90 bucks

What visitors mean by “Rishikesh” is the area of Laxman Jhula and Tapovan, a few miles north of Rishikesh town itself. Two bridges span the vibrantly emerald Ganges that runs between the cliffs here: the Laxman Jhula Bridge and the Ram Jhula Bridge.
Around 4 AM the driver came to pick us in Innova, I and my family loaded the luggage and it was super chilled as it was the month of December.
We reached Namastey Midway near Meerut and had our breakfast in the McDonald’s
Namastey Midway was so clean and there were lots of outlets, restrooms were really clean.
Then we headed towards our destination, we crossed the holiest place in India, Haridwar.
We finally reached our destination, checked in Phoolchatti Resorts, Rishikesh. The view was so breath full. We had our breakfast, played cricket, badminton and sat near the river. After dawn, we enjoyed the movie which was playing there on the screen and had our drinks.
The next morning we went for paintball and trekking to the fall. We packed our luggage and went for river rafting. As it was closed during the heavy flow in the river, we didn’t get the chance to do river rafting. After that, we went back to Delhi and around 09:00 PM we reached our place.
Places you should visit- Namastey Midway (Muzaffarnagar), Phoolchatti Resorts(Rishikesh)

Those of you who are from Delhi already know about the Happiest Food Festival called Horn Ok Please. I visited this fest on 16th of November and absolutely loved the vibe. The fest was held in Jawahar Lal Stadium.
Horn Ok Please is known for the massive range of food outlets and its ambience. This time they had a gaming zone as well, carousels and bull rides were the main attraction and were quite popular among the crowd. There were waiting lines outside the gates and after waiting for almost two hours we entered the fest but it was worth the wait.
The first thing that I tried was this combo called “GRUB TUB” which had 1 cheeseburger with some peri peri fries on top of a soda cup. It was for 500 bucks and because of its unique presentation I couldn’t resist buying it.
Taste: 3/5
After the grub tub, my next stop was these potato twisters worth 200 bucks. I did not like the taste of it as the potatoes were soggy and not cooked properly.
TASTE: 2/5
One of my Favorites was this outlet called cheese and chill that had amazing range of pastas and fries. I ordered ALL IN ONE PASTA and it was delicious. Totally worth the price. They costed me for 220 bucks.
TASTE: 5/5
No food festival is complete without milkshakes and momos, so my next stop was to find some amazing milkshakes and momos. I ordered my milkshake from milkshake and co and they were one of the best milkshakes I ever had. Milkshake was for 220 bucks but was worth every penny.
TASTE: 5/5
Live Music by SURYAVEER was making the fest finer. I finished my day with some beers from Bira’s outlet.
If you are planning to visit this amazing food festival and then don’t forget to try milkshake and co.’s milkshakes and cheese and chill’s pasta.

So I went to this amazing holy place famous for yoga, Rishikesh. This place has really good vibes and feels so religious. This city is in the Himalayan foothills beside the river Ganges.

Let’s start the journey. So it was around midnight when I and my three friends reached the bus stop at Lal Quila and we were super excited. We booked a sleeper class A/C from www.redbus.in

The bus finally arrived and we loaded our luggage and went to the bus, trust me it was our first time in the sleeper class and it was really good. We 2 slept so comfortably and it was so cool look outside from the window while lying in the bus.

In the morning we arrived at Nepali Farms which was on Haridwar- Rishikesh highway. On that that our luck was so terrible that day the Auto Walas had their strike so there were no autos, basically no public transport. So we decided to book an Ola, the price shown for that was 700 rupees. We decided to wait for some time and ask for a lift. Only 2-3 cars stopped out of like 50? But none of their route matched our destination. Then we called a taxi and in 600 rupees we finally reached our destination, our cottage named ‘Hill Top Swiss Cottages’ we checked in the cottage, it was so premium, so peaceful.

HILL TOP SWISS COTTAGE

We all sat in the balcony and enjoyed the view of that place. We went to our rooms and changed and decided to go for Ganga Aarti, we all got ready and clicked out some pictures and when we stepped out from our room the rain was started. So we decided to wait for the rain to end but time by time the rain started heavily so we decided to wait for the rain. When the rain finally stopped it was around 9 PM though we missed our Aarti so we all decided to go for dinner. The weather was so fresh and good, we went to the Tat café which was a river eye.

VIEW OF GANGES FROM TAT CAFE 

We sat on that balcony and enjoyed our food. We ordered some Falafel, fried rice, paneer tikka and all.

FALAFEL HUMMUS PITA

RICE WITH PANEER TIKKA AND ASSORTED VEGETABLES

The place was peaceful and the view was super mesmerizing. We then went back to our cottages, the rain started. We were walking towards our cottage then rain was just not stopping, we ran to the cottage and we all were super wet.

DUE TO HEAVY RAINFALL WE STOPPED AT A SHOP

We changed our clothes and wished our friend a very happy birthday and partied all night.

The next morning when we woke up in the hills, unfortunately, packed our luggage and check out from the hotel and went for breakfast and decided to go in auto from there to Nepali Farms.

STILL FROM THE RESORT

I suggested let’s try the restaurant Bhoj Mantra , we sat and when we saw the menu, it was super expensive, so we decided to leave from there but I forced everyone and we order a lot of food, when we asked for the bill we all estimated a particular amount. One said 4000, another said 3000, another said 3700, I said 2700, but the bill was only for 1700. We decided to give the money and surprisingly we went to that place because we thought it’s someone else’s bill. But when we were going out I saw some pastry over there and decide to have some.

We had ivory region pastry and trust me that was the best pastry I ever had. Then after that we did auto and went for our bus stop, we sat in the bus and off to Delhi.

We bring nothing to Delhi but lots of memories.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
