Traveller Hoots

An email notification popped up! Glanced at the phone and a small voice in my mind read the notification subject - Bangalore Blogger's meet - Jan 12th - organised by Thrillophilia. Quickly opened the email with excitement to view an invitation to the blogger's meet. I was overjoyed and thrilled to be a part of Blogger's meet. It would be a great opportunity meet the fellow bloggers in the community to reach them in person and exchange the travel interests. The intention of the meet was the revelation of the renewed identity of Sterling Holidays . I had noticed Sterling resorts during Goa vacation planning. The Sterling resorts at Goa looked beautiful and had definitel y impressed me. Thus, I looked forward to attending this event and explore more on the rebranding of Sterling Holidays. On 12th Jan, I reached the Fortune Select JP Cosmos late by 30 minutes i.e 6:30pm. Hurrying up! It was my first visit to this 4-star hotel located in the heart of the city. I just glanced

Post monsoon is the best time for bike rides. The woods would be greener and climate would be a bliss to ride. It's the time to be over the hills and far away from the chaos of the city. Upon a suggestion this weekend, we decided we would plan for  SRS hills trek Ramanagara . The place is just 65 km and 2 hours away from Bangalore along the Mysore road.
