Bangkok - A city catering to every tourist

Image
                                                                             Bangkok  There are only three kinds of people -  One - who have visited Bangkok,  Second - who are planning to visit Thailand, and  Third - who continue to dream that they will visit Thailand one fine day.  I am the lucky one as I fall in the first two categories.

Ayodhya and Varanasi

 Ayodhya and Varanasi A short but memorable trip comes in the beginning of April 2026.  We started from Delhi Anand Vihar Terminal in Vande Bharat at 6 am in the morning and reached Ayodhya ji in the afternoon around 2 pm. We had a booking at the UPSTD hotel situated next to Ayodhya Railway Station itself with barely 200 meters distance. We took lunch at the hotel and took some rest. I had been to Ayodhya before and knew that the best time to visit temple is either late evening around 8:00 pm or around 6:30 am in the morning. After taking rest, we started for Hanuman Gadhi darshan at around 5 pm, followed by Saryu River Aarti, Ram ki Paidi, and surrounding areas.
