One of my favorite holiday destination is Goa. I had been there about 3 months back, back in January. This trip had 3 people who were all my school friends. There were 3 people named Tarun, Akshay and Amir. This trip was pretty special because we met after 5 years. Furthermore, when we landed in Goa, we explored multiple tourist attractions such as beaches, pubs and many more. There was this particular road which was very famous in Bollywood movies. We had a chance to explore that road as well. We had rented scooties and booked an Airbnb which was the best part of the trip. Furthermore, this trip was pretty special because we don't know when we will ever get a chance to meet each other. Everyone is so focused on their lives right now that nobody has a chance to spend time with their favorite ones. Moreover, we had a chance to talk to a few people around in Goa who were very scared to go paragliding. But then we convinced them to join us in that paragliding and had more fun.

My favorite picnic destination is Gulmarg. It is located in Kashmir. I visited there in my last summer holidays. The best thing I like about this destination is its weather. The weather there is amazing. Moreover, there are many sports activities that we can do in Gulmarg like ski. There is ski because there is lot of snowfall that happens in Gulmarg. Along with this, the culture there is very good. People there are very friendly. Everybody just helps you. Nobody like try to loot you because you are a tourist. Gulmarg is also known as heaven on earth. Along with this, it is also known as mini Suzhalad. When I went there in last summer holidays, I went there by aeroplane. It was also my first experience for aeroplane. Along with all these, Kashmir is located on the topmost part of our country India. That's why there is a lot of snowfall there and Gulmarg is also located in Kashmir that I told you earlier. So, this is the reason why it is the epicenter of the snowfall in India. I really love snowfall so it became my favorite destination.

I would say I am a travel enthusiast. Whenever I get a chance to visit anywhere, I will go there. Recently, we had a trip to Walpare. It is a mountainous region situated on the boundary of Kerala and Tamil Nadu districts. Me and my friends are going for the trip. We started our journey at night. We ride on a motorcycle. We know the ride on a motorcycle through a forest area is very difficult and quite dangerous. However, I enjoyed it a lot. I consider it as an adventurous trip because the journey gives me much thrilling. The most exciting part of this trip was that I was impressed by the driver skill of a local. Next day, we had a trekking. I was impressed by the driver's skill because he drives smoothly through the curvy and terrible roads. At last, we reached our destination, Walpare. It is a hilltop station. We witnessed the breathtaking sunrise, the warm climate and soft rays from the sun makes the ambience even more beautiful. We had a cup of tea from the local nearby shop.

I recently visited Pune which is a city located in the western part of India. I took an overnight train from Hyderabad to reach Pune. I travelled along with my 7 of my friends. So I reached there early morning on day 1. From Pune we took a rented car and drove for 3 hours to reach a place called Panchkani. Panchkani is a hill station located at an altitude of about 1200 meters. It is a cool, chill place. Moreover it has a lot of attractions to see. So we reached there by car and checked into our hotel. After that we went to see the viewpoints which had beautiful sceneries all around, plush green surroundings. It was a once in a lifetime moment. Then we checked into the beautiful stay which had also the views of the greenery and we stayed there overnight. On day 2 we visited Mahabaleshwar which is quite located near to Panchkani. That is also a hill station. Unfortunately our car broke down in the middle of the forest but it was only one physical activity which we enjoyed.

I went to a variety of places in recent times, but my last trip was a little memorable in my life and I feel it very special because we went to Pondicherry which is located in north east side of Tamil Nadu which is renowned for beaches, water bodies, its nature, climate etc. So we went there on last month, last month nearly on 15th I think we went there, it was a fun big trip, we enjoyed and we collected many memories which are cherished throughout the life. I really cherish those moments, we took pictures, we took, we explored different kind of varieties of food over there, we enjoyed there, we danced, we sang songs, we made reels, we took pictures and posted in social medias. I especially feel why its so special for me is because we went by our own with group of friends, couple of friends, so we enjoyed there and we, previously we were going trips with our parents or faculties of the college, but this trip was planned by us and we initiated to go over there and enjoyed there, so there were lot of responsibilities and we were very cautious about the trip.

Last month I went to Prayagraj for Mahakumbh with my family. We went on Friday and our train timing was six o'clock in the evening and that time it was crowded and we boarded our plane in the evening and we reached Prayagraj early in the morning around four o'clock and from station to Sangam we had to walk because the local transportation was completely closed. We had to walk four to five kilometers for the Sangam and once we reached the Sangam we took Holi Deep into the Sangam and I felt grateful that I got that opportunity to perform puja and to took Holi Deep in the Mahakumbh because it happens once in a 44 years and my family was also very happy. After that we had breakfast in Prayagraj. We had local food of there like Kachori, Sabji, Lassi and tea as well and we did a lot of shopping from local markets. I bought a beautiful dupatta and a purse for myself and my mother she bought beautiful Banarasi saree and everyone did shopping. By the time it was three o'clock so we were hungry we went for a lunch and we found a beautiful hotel and there we had a veg thali.

My favorite holiday destination is Goa, as it's the place where most of the people in India do visit. It's not to miss that the beautiful beaches they have, so mesmerizing and tranquil. If you're lethargic, you can just go there and all your tiredness will go. So that's my favorite holiday destination and I'm planning to go again after two months when I have my summer break. My family, my husband and my son, they're already excited to go to Goa because I went there with only my husband and not my son, he's only four years old. So when I told him about the Goa trip, he's so more excited because he loves beaches and during summers around June, July, the weather there is so good that one can enjoy sitting on the beach during, even in the afternoon, because it's not that hot. It's an ideal time to go and visit.
