The Bhardwaj Life


Being one the of the warmest year-round cities in Canada, Kelowna is a like a little slice of heaven in the interior of British Columbia. We decided to drive to Kelowna from Calgary during the May long weekend to enjoy the mountains, wine, and the Okanagan Lake.

My husband and I love anything adventure and took the chance to go rafting on the Elk River with Mountain High Adventures in Fernie, British Columbia. The 4 hour drive from Calgary is a delightful drive through the mountain scenery. We met our friends and set up camp for the evening at one of the local campgrounds. In the morning we headed to the meeting point and boarded a bus that would take us to the river.

I may have been one of the few people on Earth not to have a desire to go to Paris, well, that changed after my Husband and I had roughly 24hrs to visit the city. We decided to take a more leisurely pace and had lots of fun!

1. Take an Abra Cruise
A traditional way of crossing from Bur Dubai to Deira are the beautiful abra taxis. The crossing lasts approximately 5 minutes and costs 1AED. Otherwise you can hire a private charter, we paid 60AED for a 1 hour cruise along the creek during sunset. Make sure to walk through the Gold Souk when you're on the Deira side of the creek!

My husband and I visited Yellowstone National Park in the summer of 2013. We were lucky enough to have time to enjoy 2 days in the park plus 2 days for travelling. Definitely a must for anyone who has the chance to visit this spectacular National Park! Scroll to the end of the page for our Yellowstone vlog!

1. Safdarjung Tomb
My favourite monument in Delhi (perhaps, because it was my first "attraction) is Safarjung Tomb. It was the first tourist attraction I visited in Delhi so it will always whole a special place in my heart. Built between 1753-1754 bu Nawab Shuja-ud-Daula, the son of Safdarjung, it's now located on Lodhi Road. Safdarjung tomb represents the last phase of the Mughal style architecture being built in red sandstone and buff stone and follows a similar pattern of Humayun Tomb. Located inside are two graves - those of - Safdarjung and his wife.

Chandni Chowk is one of the oldest and busiest markets in Delhi established in 1650 by Princess Jahanara, the favourite daughter of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The market is located in Old Delhi near landmarks such as Red Fort and Jama Masjid. I hadn't been there since our first trip to India in 2013 and finally convinced Hubby and MIL to come along with me. We took the metro from South Delhi and got off at the Chandni Chowk station.

On my first trip to India over 2 years ago I spent countless hours researching on what to bring to India. Soon after arriving I discovered everything I had passionately packed could be found in any local market or mall. Here are my tips on things you DON'T need to bring!

Today Hubby and I decided to get out of the house and go for lunch in Khan Market. We stumbled across The Loft, the quaint 3rd floor of a Chinese restaurant called Soy. We order 2 pints of Foster and the Non-Veg Crostinis Platter which came with Grilled Chicken and Mascarpone, Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese with Exotic Caper Berries, and Onion and Bacon Marmalade with Rocket Leaves. OMG! What a wonderful treat! We will defiantly be going back for the cheap beer, great service, and awesome food.

After leaving the nightmarish traffic of Bangalore we headed to the more peaceful Pune for a quick 4 day visit with Family. With kids in tow we spent the first day at Adlabs Imagica Theme Park, halfway between Mumbai and Pune. Chachi (Me) and Chacha (Husband) had immense fun chasing around the little ones and experiencing all the rides. Best part - no long line ups!

As a side trip from Bangalore we decided to go to the district of Coorg in Karnataka. I had read and heard many great things about the area and it was suppose to be amazing during Monsoon season! We took an A/C Volvo bus to Kushal Nagar, upon arrival at the bus station the owner of Iyris the Home Stay picked us up and escorted us to his home.
