My Manali Trip Begins: The Journey From Pune to the Mountains

Every Mountain Trip Begins With Excitement

I've always been excited about visiting the mountains. There's something about them that holds a special place in my heart. Even though I haven't traveled to many places yet, every mountain trip feels magical to me.

This time was even more special because I was finally going to one of my favorite destinations—Manali. The moment the trip was planned, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Every day, I found myself counting down, waiting for the day to arrive. I was so excited that I could hardly wait.

Finally, the day was here!

There was just one small twist—my train wasn't from my hometown, Pune. It was from Mumbai, so the journey actually started before the real trip even began. Taking a bus from Pune to Mumbai was the best option since it was both convenient and budget-friendly.

As expected, I packed my bags at the very last minute. No matter how much I promise myself I'll pack early, it somehow never happens! Once everything was somehow squeezed into my bags, I rushed to catch my bus.

With two bags by my side and a heart full of excitement, I finally started my journey towards Mumbai. Sitting by the window, watching the city slowly pass by, it finally felt real.

The adventure had officially begun.

Time to go back, Spent half day in Kolhapur 29 March 2024

Our Malvan trip ends here. We had breakfast and then headed to Kolhapur, and later Pune. Initially, we had a train scheduled for the night from Kolhapur to Pune, but it got cancelled. Therefore, we decided to stay in Kolhapur for a day. Since there were no buses available directly from Malvan to Kolhapur, we opted to go to Kankavli first, where we could find buses to Kolhapur. We arrived in Kolhapur in the afternoon, checked into the hotel, freshened up, ordered misal, which we thought would be spicy but turned out to be good, and then proceeded straight to the Mahalaxmi Mandir. Due to it being Friday, there was a large crowd, and we ended up waiting in line for about 20-30 minutes. After having our darshan, we returned to the hotel as it was already 8pm. We had a light dinner at the hotel and then went to sleep, as our bodies needed to recharge after thoroughly enjoying our time in Malvan. Xoxo ❤️ Gujjugirl

A Cozy Night at Si Nonna’s: Pizza, Croquettes, and a Surprisingly Heartwarming Gelato

Recently, I visited Si Nonna’s again. I hadn’t planned on going back, but it just happened. It was a very cold night, and I was craving pizza, so we decided to go there. This time, we ordered pizza number 4, which consisted of fior di latte mozzarella, ricotta cheese, blue cheese, aged parmesan, homemade jalapeño salsa, homemade cherry tomato confit, fresh basil, and EVOO. We also ordered mozzarella and jalapeño croquettes. First, the croquettes arrived. They were okay, but not great. The filling was small, and there wasn’t enough of it, so I wasn’t particularly impressed. Then, our pizza came. We added a little more olive oil and tried to do a cheese pull, but it didn’t work out as expected. However, the taste of the pizza was really good — flavorful and satisfying. Although we were pretty full, there’s always room for dessert, right? I saw gelato and decided to try some. I ordered Sicilian pistachio gelato. It turned out to be delicious — so tasty from the very first bite. I stil...
