I had visited this resto several times in winter but last evening i didn't want to cook something at home so we planned to visit this resto.We ordered one Masala Dosa(Rs.40) and one Onion rava masala dosa(Rs.50) with two cold-drinks.They served dosas with sambhar and coconut chutney(no other chutney).We liked only masala dosa as onion rava masala dosa was not tasty one.Then we asked for the bill and it was Rs.120 as they charged Rs.30 for cold-drinks(M.R.P.Rs.10 each).After paid bill we returned back to home and its good experience to dinner at Udupi.
This resto is also providing free home delivery in which they charge extra to order sambhar and chutney more than 1 bowl.Its meal timings are 12.00 Noon to 3.30pm,7.30pm to 10.00pm.So go and experience.........

Laxmi Narayan Mandir



Birla temple is also known as Laxmi Narayan Mandir,the enormous temple was built during the year 1988, by Birla Group of Industries, one of the business tycoons of India.Its located in front of Jaipur urban development authority.The Birla Mandir is situated just below the renowned Moti Dungri Fort.Its lovely to see the fort view from the temple as the fort was on height.This temple is constructed to dedicate Lord Vishnu(narayan)the preserver and goddess of wealth, Laxmiji.Birla Mandir is constructed in the finest quality of white marble as its so old but its look new constructed temple,it shines.There is parking facility outside the temple.At the entrance,there are small gifts shops.By going upstairs,the temple is surrounded by lush green gardens.In the middle of lawns there is statues of Lord Shiva and its really beautiful art work.
Then we entered into the temple,we saw statues of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi which were constructed from one piece of Marble,dressed in black clothes having golden work with golden jewellery.Both were looking like alive and as they were talking with their people.I have visited many temples but these idols attracted me a lot.Then we took a round of the god,there were marble painting on the walls and its so nice that its difficult to explain.The artists cut the marble so nicely to show the Hindu mythology.
The window glass has colorful paintings to show the Hindu mythology scenes which is incredible art work.This temple is simply constructed with white marble but this is right place of peace.The view was really beautiful from the temple of Jaipur city. One small Museum is there where we can see the ancestral valuables of Birla family like their clothes,bed,pictures,jewellery,watches etc.It tells that hows luxurious life they lived?Its really a masterpiece in Jaipur that must look by tourist at once.

City Palace forms one of the most famous tourist attractions and a major landmark in Jaipur.Its famous for its rajput architecture work and outstanding art.The palace consists several buildings like Chandra Mahal, Mubarak Mahal, Mukut Mahal, Maharani's Palace, Shri Govind Dev Temple and the City Palace Museum.There is fixed time to entry or exit,its 10am to 5pm and tickets charges too.Its really great experiences to walk around these places.Mubarak mahal which is a costume gallery where we can admire to see attires of royal family.
There is Diwan-i-khas where they put two big silver vessels which are world's largest silver vessels.There is another place which is called Diwan-i-Aam which is showcasing handwritten original manuscripts of Hindu scriptures.
Maharani palace is converted into museum which has a gallery showcasing weapons of Kings time.Its really big and heavy.Today its difficult to pick them as man should be strong enough.There is one temple of Shri Govind Dev which is lovely one.
One portion of city palace is now residential place for king,queen(Rani Gayatri Devi which was famous as most beautiful lady on the earth)and its family.

Maharani market

This market is all around the Hawa Mahal and the products are not good one.They are selling products which have inferior quality and not durable.Its really difficult to identify the right one and bargaining is must there.This market is especially for foreigners.In the back side of Hava mahal there is small cloth market which has good quality products with latest variety.Its difficult to bargain there.

Hotel King(Jaipur)


This hotel & resto is located in mid-way to go Jaipur.Its outlook is quite beautiful,having parking place,lawns etc.Its fully air-conditioned having sitting capacity of almost 70 to 80 people at one time.It includes one gift shop and a small bar inside.We ordered one Masala Dosa(Rs.50)and one special Thali(Rs.100).They served sambhar,dosa with coconut chutney and bhindi vegetable,dal,rice,butter naan,shahi paneer,papad with vanilla ice-cream.We really enjoyed our lunch as its really tasty.They served food nicely in sufficient quantity and the prices were also reasonable(including vat).
Hotel King has also hotel facility as nearby there is wildlife santuary.There is one small confectionary shop,one ice-cream shop,cafe coffee day,Reebox shop,Pepe jeans factory outlay shop located at outside the hotel.They appointed a man to clean the cars as free customer service.
We had lunch there but when we were coming back from the Jaipur,we wanted to have dinner there but now its in opposite direction and the next turn was almost 2km.away so we didn't go there.Well so i want to mention that don't miss and must visit that place.

Hava Mahal


Jaipur is a fascinating city but to make the city fascinating, it has great palaces,Hava Mahal is one of them.When we reached there,i clicked its picture from outside and its really amazing as its looking like "a big jhorka" designed on the road.It has pink color and all other buildings near to it were also pink color.That's why Jaipur city is known as "The Pink City".We bought two tickets(Rs.10each,Rs.50 for foreigners) to enter.At the entrance,there was some govt. offices.Some floors were permanently closed for tourist.
The upper floors were reached through a ramp rather than the regular stairs.So we went through the ramp and the view was really beautiful.The interior design was similar to outer look and its nice.It has several small windows and from it we can see the street view.There are some stories behind this monument as why its constructed?Some believe that it was a viewing gallery for the ladies of the royal household who Sitting in the cool, airy interior of the Hawa Mahal,so they could watch the goings-on below while remaining hidden themselves.We also spend some time there,felt the cool wind,appreciated the architect work and viewed the street way from the windows.

Chowki Dhani




Chowki Dhani,this place helps to develop Jaipur tourism and its culture.They just try to give you a chance to feel Rajasthani culture by spending some hours there.I heard a lot about this place so we decided to visit this place.I am sharing my experience with you which make me happy and full of fun.As we reached there we saw a place which having complete traditionally rajastani design decoration.At the entrance/exit,we saw a small Ganesh temple there then a small girl welcomes us by putting Tilak on our forehead and said,"Ram-Ram Sa".There we saw a coupon counter where a person(dressed in Rajasthani clothes)gave us tickets to enter.
Entry fees:-Rs.300 per person,Rs.150 per child
As we entered into the place,it was just like a small village in Rajasthan.The ground land was full of sand which realised that we are walking in a dessert area.The place having small huts under which several activities were going on like dancing,playing games,food places etc.We decided to enjoy the evening to be part of that village.We saw:-

1)Dance stages-There were two-three dance stages at the different destinations of the village where artists were performing rajastani folk dance and they were also inviting the audience to be part of it and if you have interest to learn few simple steps of dance its really a good chance to learn and fun.You must give them few rupees as token of love.

2)Animal Rides-There were camel ride,elephant ride(Rs.20),bullock-card ride and horse-ride in Rs.10 each.We enjoyed camel and elephant ride.It really royal feelling to ride on elephant.When camel stood and sit down,its quite different feeling with a little fear but its complete fun package.

3)Games stalls-We found games stalls like rifle shooting,dart throwing,bow and arrow,ring throwing,boll throwing and magic games selling etc.We can play in Rs.5-10 each.We played almost all games and i won a Nail-paint in ring throwing.

4)Kids rides-There were two hand-driven marry go round(big-small)which are now only available in some small fairs as its replaced with electronic rides.

5)Eatables stalls-As we were wandering,we saw some food stalls under small huts like snacks shop having Aloo tikki,gol-gappe,burf ka gola,pop-corn and kulfi etc. in nominal rates.I tasted gol-gappe,burf ka gola but i really don't like the gol-gappe.
They are providing free water and Jal-jeera and its really tasty.There were one pan ki dukan and one shop which were selling spices,churans,mehndi etc.

6)Shops-There were few shops having rajasthani clothes,bangles,necklaces,gifts etc.I was interested to buy a bandini suit from there but its little expensive as the min. range was Rs.1250.

We saw magic show,puppet show,snack-theatre magic show,rope-walking show.Few girls were sitting there to put mehandi on hands in little amount.Most of the foreigners were happy to get this.
Some astrologer were sitting there and they forecast about your life by reading your palm.They were just telling basic things.They were charging Rs.21 each.It also great fun to play in maze.

Now its time to have dinner and we were really crazy to eat as its world famous that Chowki Dhani is a place where you can enjoy Rajastani food in unlimited quantity.I enjoyed the same experience in Rajdhani Resto in Noida but its quite different to it.Whatever i heard,its quite same like the waiter will serve food even you deny.Firstly their was sitting arrangement on the ground and its really a big line and you will enjoy your food with many people.We got one paper tradional plate,6 paper bowls with 2 glasses.We had garlic chutney,aloo-onion ki sabzi,gatte ki sabzi,kadhi,sarso ka saag,sweet churma(made in pure desi ghee),butter,makki ki roti,jawar-bajre ki roti,malpua,rice,khichdi(serve with desi ghee and bura),papad etc.Its really tasty but how much a person can eat????They serve food in unlimited quantity in a humble way which make dinner time lovely.We can demand any variety of food.We ate food with fun and its really a wonderful experience there.

We made plan to travel England for 10days in which we divided our two days to visit London.We planned to visit Tower Bridge,London eye,Millenium bridge and Maddame Tussad.firstly we visited Tower Bridge which is a combined bascule and suspension bridge in London,England over the River Thames.Tower Bridge is sometimes mistakenly referred to as London Bridge, which is actually the next bridge upstream.Its nearest underground station is Tower Hill.When we were there its day time and its looking beautiful and colorful.But we couldn't see it complete as its halfly renovated that time.But lucky we got a chance to see it opened and closed and that experience was quite excited.Its really a wonderful experience as we were able to see that a big ship was passing through that bridge.The ship was so big that once time it was hidden behind one of the pillar of that bridge.I heard that most of the people don't get a chance to see it opened and closed.We spend one half there and enjoyed a lot.



We also enjoyed to walk on the walkway where we felt cold wind.From this point,we could feel the height of that bridge and the design,interior was great.We clicked some pictures there and kept that memories with us.

Shubham Valley Resto in DWARKA

People who are fond of south-indian food must visit this place.As we were new here,i had come to know that this resto has delicious south-indian.So we decided to celebrate New Year night dinner there.As it's new eve,so in every place you would find crowd there,same happened here.But after waiting half an hour we got place to sit.Luckly we were four members so its easy to get place because its difficult to get arranged for more than 4.The ambience was good but it was so much noisy that time.Well as it would expected so didn't matter,i was curious to take a bit of food. Then we ordered Rava masala dosa,Ghee masala dosa,one uttapam and one jumbo dosa.I really enjoyed my rava dosa with sambhar and chutnies.Rava dosa contained masala and red chutney spread in the inner side of dosa My friends were also happy to eat there.Waiter served sambhar one more time.I love to eat sambhar hot and sour which i got there.They served it hot and if you need more,you can easily get it faster.The prices were almost Rs. 75 to Rs.100.After enjoying dosas we wanted to have some delicious.So we ordered ice-creams that i feel its quite costly.As its Rs.80 for kesar pista,tutty fruiti so on....but it was really tasty.I will like to order it some another day too.So we ended our lovely day with tasty food.


Its not end of my journey.That food invites me another time....and now i had visited several time that resto.Most of time i got noise and crowd there but its may be a compliment for this resto.But i never think to taste any other food as i feel that at this place i can get only wonderful and delicious south-indian food.I was discussing about this resto with one of my friend.She also enjoyed south-indian food,she had tried north-indian too but she really don't like that food.So i would advise go and order south-indian food now but if somebody like north-indian then plz tel me.....so i get courage to order that food.
