नेत्रावली। बारिश आ रही है। जून के उत्तरार्ध में ऐसा लिखना थोड़ा अजीब लगता है, लेकिन… मन उछल रहा है बारिश में घूमने के लिए। और इसके लिए याद आता है गोवा का नेत्रावली। दक्षिण गोवा में बसे इस छोटे से गांव को प्रकृति ने खास सौगातें दी हैं। हरियाली, झरने, नदियां सह्याद्रि पर्वत श्रृंखला के इस आशीर्वाद से नेत्रावली एक संपूर्ण पर्यटन अनुभव साबित होता है। नेत्रावली अभी कम जाना-पहचाना है, तो सबसे पहले जान लेते हैं कि वहां पहुंचें कैसे। मुंबई से वहां जाने के लिए सबसे सुविधाजनक विकल्प है रेलवे और सड़क मार्ग। ट्रेन से जाना हो…

पिछले कुछ दिनों में इतनी बारिश हुई… और अब तक अगर आपने मानसून ट्रिप नहीं की, तो फायदा ही क्या? मुंबईकरों को दूर नहीं जाना, तो कोई बात नहीं। पास में भी एक से बढ़कर एक बारिश वाली जगहें हैं। कोलाड उन्हीं में से एक है। पहुंचने में करीब तीन घंटे लगते हैं। झरनों में भीगने, जंगल में घूमने, रिवर राफ्टिंग करने और बारिश के संगीत के बीच गरमागरम भजिए खाने पहुंच जाइए। रायगढ़ जिले के इस छोटे से गांव को महाराष्ट्र के “एडवेंचर कैपिटल ऑफ मानसून” का खिताब मिला है। जानिए इसकी वजह। मानसून में सह्याद्रि की पहाड़ियां हरी-भरी…

By: Ragini Chaubey झारखंड सुंदर राज्य है। खनिज संपदा, घने जंगल और आदिवासी संस्कृति से लैस उसकी धरती है। झारखंड का नाम ट्रावेल के लिए मन में कम आता है। लेकिन, अगर आप बारिश के इस मौसम में यहां जा रहे हो, तो जादू का साक्षात्कार हो सकता है। जादू को देखने के लिए चलते है पतरातू घाटी। राज्य के पाटनगर रांची से पतरातू घाटी ४० किलोमीटर दूर है। बारिश में यहाँ की पहाड़ियाँ गहरे हरे रंग की चादर ओढ़ लेती हैं। घाटी की घुमावदार सड़कें बादलों के बीच से गुजरती हैं। नीचे फैला विशाल पतरातू जलाशय इस जगह को…

Picture this. It’s late evening in Rome. You’re deep into a plate of pasta, wine glasses are being refilled, and someone at a nearby table asks for a cappuccino. Forks pause mid-air. A quiet judgement passes through the room. What just happened? The tourist didn’t do anything illegal. They just broke one of Italy’s many unspoken dining rules. And if you’re planning a trip to Italy anytime soon, you’ll want to know these rules before you sit down at a restaurant. Italian food itself is simple. It isn’t heavily spiced, and it relies on seasonal, local ingredients. But around this…

Most Mumbaikars already know what the Atal Setu did. Before it opened in January 2024, getting from South Mumbai to Navi Mumbai by road could eat up over an hour, sometimes closer to two, depending on traffic at the Vashi or Airoli bridges. Atal Setu, India’s longest sea bridge at 21.8 kilometres, cut that down to roughly 20 to 25 minutes. It became the bridge people pointed to as proof that Mumbai could still build something big and actually finish it. What far fewer people know is that the story did not end there. Right now, quietly, a second piece…

The idea sounds almost futuristic. Leave Mumbai in the morning and arrive in Pune in less than an hour. According to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, the proposed Mumbai-Pune high-speed rail corridor could cut travel time between the two cities to just 48 minutes. The announcement has generated excitement, particularly among frequent travellers who know all too well the long hours often spent on roads and railways connecting Maharashtra’s two largest urban centres. Faster travel is easy to celebrate. Yet beyond the promise of speed lies a more important question. If the project eventually becomes a reality, who will actually use…
