We have carefully curated this newsletter to ensure it becomes your go-to resource for all things hospitality-related. Whether you are an industry professional, an avid traveller, or simply passionate about the art of hospitality, this newsletter will be your gateway to a world of inspiration, knowledge and unforgettable experiences.
Ah, the joy of October! It’s that beautiful time when the city lights seem a tad dimmer, and the call of the mountains, well, it becomes almost irresistible. It's like nature herself is sending out an engraved invitation, each leaf and twig beckoning us to step into a world where WiFi signals are replaced by the melodies of rustling leaves and flowing streams.
Jim Corbett National Park
In the heart of Uttarakhand, Jim Corbett National Park is more than a retreat; it's a playground for the soul. October blesses it with a climate where the sun plays hide and seek, and the nights whisper the tales of the wild. The tigers, oh those majestic beings, roam free and wild, painting a picture so lively that even the most exquisite cameras may not do justice. And if you’ve an ear for the avian symphony, 650 species of birds are ready to perform live!
Mussoorie
A touch of snow, a dash of sun, and a whole lot of green - that's Mussoorie wrapped in nature’s embrace. There’s a waterfall named Kempty, not empty of course, filled with the melody of gushing waters. The trek trails are not just paths; they’re passages to heaven, especially the one leading to Lal Tibba, painted with views that make you question reality.
Lansdowne
Quietude finds its voice in Lansdowne. Here, the mountains and oak forests aren’t just sightseeing spots; they’re silent storytellers of tales untold. The weather in October? Think of a well-brewed coffee, warm, soothing, and absolutely invigorating.
Nainital
The ‘City of Lakes’ becomes a portrait of serenity in October. It’s a shopping spree set amidst the echoing beauty of peaks and waters. Here, every temple and viewpoint is a bookmark in the traveler’s diary, a moment frozen in the awe of nature’s spectacle.
Ranikhet
The ‘Queen of Meadows’ wears her greenest gowns in October. It’s a place where orchards aren’t just trees but the bearers of nature’s bounty and where colonial buildings stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time, echoing the days of yore.
Kasauli
Nestled amidst pine and oak, Kasauli is where serenity finds its melody. Visit the Sunset Point where the golden hues dance to the tunes of silence or step into the historic embrace of the Gurkha Fort; every moment is a postcard from nature.
Gulmarg
Snow finds its haven in Gulmarg. In the lap of Himalayas, the ‘Meadow of Flowers’ blossoms under the pristine white shroud, making every view a canvas painted in heaven’s hues.
Chopta
In Chopta, every peak has a tale, every temple an ancient song. It’s a gateway to the ethereal, where Trishul, Nanda Devi, and Chaukhamba peaks stand as sentinels of the divine.
Shimla
The crown jewel of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla is not just a destination; it’s an experience. It’s where the colonial echoes meet the modern hustle, where every street is a stroll down the heritage lane.
Auli
Chill takes a whole new meaning in Auli. October here isn’t just a month; it’s a spectacle of frosty delights, where peaks like Nanda Devi make a silent yet grand conversation with the skies.
Pahalgam
In the heart of Kashmir, Pahalgam is an ode to serenity. It’s where valleys echo the silent songs of the majestic mountains, where every dawn and dusk is a poem recited by the skies.
As we prepare to fold this enchanting catalogue of destinations, let’s embark on a silent pact. A pact to tread lightly, laugh heartily, and embrace these pristine abodes of nature with the respect and awe they command.
So, grab that backpack, pull out those untouched trekking boots, and let's commit the most wonderful crime - stealing moments of sheer bliss from the hands of time. And remember, the mountains are calling. It’s rude not to answer, isn’t it?
