Travel guides are one of my most favorite activities to do. It keeps me calm and it helps me wind up unwind from the usual work routine I always do. One such experience was when I went on a long car ride to Calcutta which is in Uttar Pradesh in the southern part of India. I went with 4 of my friends. It was really hard to gather them all and plan a trip but I am quite good at it so I pulled it off easily. We packed all our bags, we took all the stuff which we wanted. The itinerary was quite high because it was a trekking trip and we had to get all the stuff for campfires and whatever cooking and stuff. We packed everything, we took our car, we filled petrol and set on the trip to Kandikota. It was quite adventurous because the roads were not as good as the highways. The adventure was never ending. We were all on cloud 9 and excited about the trip. Finally, it was almost dawn when we reached the place. We started to put up our tents and lit the campfire. We started to cook the meat which we got from the local shops to cook dinner. We started the preparation. The preparation was going really fine until it was cloudy and started to rain. The winds were very dusty and strong. Since we were at the camps, it was quite some scary experience what we faced but it was a memorable trip for every one of them. We also went on night rides.

A long car journey I went with was my cousin sister and we went to Masuri which is a hill station located somewhat 4-5 hours from Delhi, the capital of India, which is where we started the journey from. We planned the journey because we wanted a weekend getaway and we hadn't had a vacation in a long time. Also, I like spending a lot of time with this sister. I have known her closely for the last 15 years and one day when we were chatting we realized we hadn't been on a trip together so we were very excited for this trip. In addition, we had to talk to our family, convince them and there were some constraints but eventually we made it. It was, to be very honest, a very thrilling and exciting experience. We had a great time. We went around the hill station, we sat in cafes, we had cozy dinners. We also visited the market, we got some souvenirs and overall we spent a great time together. After that trip, we planned to go on more trips together.

I went to Amritsar with my family. It was me, my sister, my father and my mother. It was a long trip of 10 hours and we had to cover about 850 km in our car. We did a lot of things when we were in our car. After about 2 hours, we stopped somewhere to have juice. Then after 2 more hours, we all were very hungry, so we wanted to eat something. And then we stopped at a restaurant. We ate parathas, we had some chai because it was the morning time and we all wanted to have a good breakfast. It was an amazing experience because me and my sister did not have any idea about the trip we were going to. We all thought that we were just going to a park because our parents never told us that it was not a short trip but a long journey to Amritsar. Amritsar is one of the best places I have ever gone to and I used to tell my parents that I want to go there because of which they planned this trip for us. It was an amazing experience. We all were listening to different songs in the car, we all were talking, we all were laughing, we all were very excited for the trip as it was the first time for all of us that we were going to Amritsar. We were all very excited and happy to be together on this journey.

One long car journey I went on was when I was going to Mussoorie with my friends. It normally takes around 5 hours to reach Mussoorie from Delhi but there was so much traffic in spite of us starting our journey at 5 in the morning that it took us 10 hours and we reached at around 4 o'clock in the evening. We reached there and we stayed at this beautiful wooden cabin from where you could see the skyline underneath clouds. It was really pretty. In Mussoorie, we didn't stop travelling there because it was so crowded and we had to travel for every activity we had planned which was trekking. So we went to this George Everest mountain where we had to trek for 4 hours to reach at the top of this hill and it was beautiful. You could see the clouds and then of course the mall road. It's like even if you're tired, shopping can cure everything and it was a 12 minute walk from our hotel. We used to go till the end of the mall road from library chowk till the parking stand and there's a lot to do there. There's variety of food especially momos which is my favourite food as well. From there, we also went to Kempty fall which is this great water body which falls down from a tree.
