Taxi service in Delhi

Delhi, the capital of India is one of the most sought after tourist places for domestic as well as foreign tourists. People from all over the world flock here throughout the year to admire the heritage and beauty of the city. 

If a person is planning to visit Delhi, he should not only book hotels but should also book his taxi. There are many companies that provide taxi service in Delhi. Olacabs are one of the best cab service in Delhi. Meru cabs and taxi for sure are other taxi service providers. 

If you search Delhi cab service you may find lots of cab service providers in Delhi but not all of them will provide good service. Since safety is one of the prime factors before choosing a taxi service in Delhi hence I will recommend people to go for trusted brand rather than going for a cab which provides cheaper rates.

Generally, any taxi service in Delhi charges you between Rs.11/km to Rs.15/km. You should try to find a good taxi service with the best price. Always keep emergency numbers, numbers of the taxi office and taxi drivers. Most of the cabs are GPS enabled but still you should confirm the details before booking a taxi service.

There are also private taxi owners who provide taxi service in Delhi, you can book them at your own risk. They can provide you cheaper rates and you can bargain with them also. They also give you the option between ac and non-ac taxis.

Once you have fixed your taxi service, you can plan your travel itinerary. There is a Delhi government's travel portal which will give you the details of all the tourist places in the city. Since the Delhi is a huge city, you should try to cover all the destinations in two or three days. 

For example, you can travel all the places in South Delhi on first day and then the remaining places including purani Delhi on the second day. By doing this you will manage to travel more places and will also be able to devote good time to each and every place. 

Some of the good places that you can travel in south Delhi are Qutub Minar and Chattarpur temple. On the second day you can visit the Akshardham temple and purani Delhi.

To enjoy the city of Delhi properly, my suggestion will be to book your taxi service in Delhi in advance so that you don't face any problems and can focus your attention in enjoying the city.

Visit Melbourne

What do you know about Melbourne ? If someone would have asked me this question few years back then I wouldn't have had much to answer except a few friends testimonials,who went there to study, that the city has a wonderful life.

As I started my blogging journey, I came across many travel bloggers and learned about many fabulous places in Melbourne which a person can visit. I also followed a blogger who used to post about random places and random people in Melbourne, which gave me a greater insight about the places in the city.

While going through the blogs, I also came to know about a dedicate website, Tourism Victoria website , to help people who want to visit Melbourne and Victoria.  From the day I have visited their website, I have become more intrigued about knowing more about the city. I am listing down few of the places which fascinated me - 

Philip Island - The place which attracted me the most about Melbourne was Philip Island. Australia is known for its bio-diversity and we find some really unique flora and fauna there which can't be found in any other place. I am an animal lover and this is definitely one of the most attractive place for me. Experience wild life personally would definitely be an amazing experience. 

I have never got the chance to see penguins in there natural habitat. It would definitely be a great experience if I get to see them.

Melbourne Cricket ground - I think there can't be any Indian who would want to miss experiencing MCG in person. We are a cricketing nation and we worship our cricketers. We also love all the cricketing facts and stories. Hence it is a must to experience MCG.

St. Kilda Road - This place is the heart of Melbourne's culture. It has national gallery of Victoria and arts centre market. 

Flinders quarter - This place contains bars, design stores, writers' studios, galleries and boutique fashion outlet.This is the home foe Melbourne creative elite. 

Rod laver arena - This is another place no sports enthusiast would like to miss. This place is the mecca of tennis where Australia open is held every year.

The weekend anniversary trip to Singapore with skyscanner

14th July is a very special day for my family as this is the day my father and mother got married. They haven't been able to enjoy a holiday  in long time because of their work commitments and their family responsibilities which they take very seriously. So, this year I planned to give them a surprise by planning a trip for them so that they could have some relaxation time.

Since both of them have their work commitments, I knew the trip has to be just a weekend getaway. They applied for leave on their anniversary well in advance so that they could spend some quality time with each other.I thought the best place for the weekend trip would be Singapore. It's picturesque and friendly for travelers.

So, I went ahead and called my travel agent. He got really surprised when I told him that I want to book the tickets for next week only. Instead of booking tickets he started giving me advice that I should have booked them in advance. I again asked him, will he be able to plan the trip, hesitantly he said he will give me a call back in an hour.
