Nidhivan which means "Forest of Tulsi" is one of the sacred forest sites of Vrindavan. It is situated in the Mathura district, Uttar Pradesh, India. Nidhivan is considered as the most prominent site dedicated to the pastimes of Hindu deities Radha Krishna and their gopis. 

It is considered to be the holiest place in the country where God literally has an abode. Such speculations leave us in an enigma! There is no smoke without fire. There is some root to this mystery which is still unknown to all. Post the evening aarti, no priest or devotee is allowed to step into the premises. However, not all facts are available at our disposal. 

There is no sighting of any animal or bird post 7 PM either because it is said that they elope from the area as well. Not just this, but Nidhivan has a unique surrounding. It is flanked by unusual hollow trees that are short heightened and the branches are twisted downwards and lie in tangles. The Tulsi plants also stand in pairs. Nidhivan garden closed at 5 p.m. for the public. According to legend, In every night Krishna came here and dressed and adorn Radha Rani with his own hands at Rang Mahal inside the temple. Inside, you will find several ornaments and makeup items near the bed in Rang Mahal temple. And During the night divine dance takes place in Nidhivan all trees become gopis and dance with Lord Krishna and Radha Rani.

Goa is popularly known as the party capital of India. The breezy beach parties, intoxicating Feni and delicious seafood, beckon tourists from across the world. While, beaches, parties and booze always make it to your to-do list in Goa, let’s remind you that the smallest state of India, is much more than this. From tropical spice plantation treks, guitar making workshops, to fascinating museum visits,there are many things to do in Goa beyond beaches.

Wander through Fontainhas, Goa’s Latin Quarter

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Fontainhas is a charming town that exudes a colonial-era vibe at every nook and corner. Visitors can wander through the cobbled streets and gaze at the traditional, colorful Portuguese houses and structures. Two of the most beautiful attractions are the Chapel of St. Sebastian, which is known for its pristine white facade, and the Maruti temple that rests on Altinho hill and offers an unbeatable view of the town. The other sight that makes quite the impression is the Gitanjali Art Gallery that houses impressive artwork from the 1950s to ’90s. It’s recommended to stay at least for a day in one of the many Portuguese mansions-turned-boutique hotels and experience authentic Goan hospitality.

Explore the Old Goa

Founded in the 15th century, Old Goa is one of the most historic cities in Goa. The city was abandoned in the 18th century due to a widespread plague in the area. However, what stands today are the beautiful churches that were developed in the 16th century under the Portuguese rule, and are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Some of the most impressive ones are the Basilica of Bom Jesus, which is a true archetype of Baroque architecture and holds remains of St. Francis Xavier (well-known Spanish missionary); the 16th century Se Cathedral that stands out with its giant bell, called the “Golden Bell;” and the Church of St. Francis of Assisi. To stroll around Old Goa is to enjoy a mix of Baroque and Portuguese styles of architecture.

Marvel at the historical forts

Goa is home to several forts that play a crucial role in its history. Some of the most prominent ones are the 17th century Chapora Fort that offers panoramic vistas of the sea and beaches nearby; the Aguada Fort, which was established in 1612 by the Portuguese, and its highlight is the 19th century lighthouse within it; the Terekhol Fort, which now functions as a heritage hotel and also houses a 100-year-old church; and the 16th century Reis Magos fort that is famed for its breathtakingly beautiful views of the Arabian Sea and Mandovi river, as well as the gallery that display works of the famous cartoonist, the late Mario Miranda.

The World is marked by a vast stretch of diverse topography, and when the mercury plummets, there is no shortage of places in this South Asian country to explore. During winter, several places  are enhanced by a blanket of glistening white snow, whilst many more boast a blend of pleasant and fresh weather accompanied by mild sunshine. 

True winter lasts from December to February in Prague, with January being the coldest month. Snow is rare in December, but temperatures are often below freezing for most of the winter. While this might sound unappealing to some, the truth is that visiting Prague in winter has many advantages.

Except for the second half of December – when lots of tourists come around to see the Christmas markets – winter is a cheap time to visit Prague, as hotels offer great deals, and flights tend to be cheaper. When it does snow, Prague transforms into a fairy-tale town, its red roofs covered in powdery white. Plus, winter means smaller crowds and a great opportunity to discover the magical cobblestone streets almost on your own.

Pangong Lake, also known as Pangong Tso, lies calmly at a breathtaking elevation of 14,270 feet. Interestingly, the lake is 12 km long and marks itself between the laps of India and China. Rather, 60% of the portion is stretching in the neighboring nation and this excites every traveler to be here.

The surreal clean blue waters are actually brackish or salty in nature and this feature doesn’t let any aquatic life survive in the same. Moreover, the temperature range between -30 to -10 degrees make even this salty lake freeze with thick ice sheets, which is quite opposite in case of salt ridden water bodies.

This picturesque landscape location enhances its beauty with the arrival of migrating birds every year and attracts many travelers in search of adventure, photographs, bird-watching and chilling experience. Pangong has another unique and catchy feature; when it acts like a chameleon and changes its color from blue to green to even grey at times. The brackish water of Pangong attracts the migratory birds every year during winters in Ladakh.

Ta Prohm Temple is a very popular part in a typical Angkor tour. It's the only major stop that wasn't fully reclaimed from the jungle. Many of the walls and structures have been smothered by huge silk-cotton trees and strangler figs, which grow over, around, and through the ancient stone blocks. These trees both hold the ruins together and cause them to collapse.

A visit to Ta Prohm really gives you the feeling of discovering something hidden and truly ancient, giving you a real Indiana Jones vibe. The area served as a filming location for the 2001 movie, Tomb Raider. While other Angkor temples were digitally altered, Ta Prohm’s appearance was largely unchanged in the film.

Built from 1186 and originally known as Rajavihara (Monastery of the King), Ta Prohm was a Buddhist temple dedicated to the mother of Jayavarman VII. It is one of the few temples in the Angkor region where an inscription provides information about the temple’s dependents and inhabitants. Almost 80,000 people were required to maintain or attend at the temple, among them more than 2700 officials and 615 dancers.

Ta Prohm is a temple of towers, closed courtyards and narrow corridors. Many of the corridors are impassable, clogged with jumbled piles of delicately carved stone blocks dislodged by the roots of long-decayed trees. Bas-reliefs on bulging walls are carpeted with lichen, moss and creeping plants, and shrubs sprout from the roofs of monumental porches. Trees, hundreds of years old, tower overhead, their leaves filtering the sunlight and casting a greenish pall over the whole scene.
