The Magical Experience of Staying in a House Boat in Kerala

March 8, 2020 by Khushboo 19 Comments

Kerala Houseboat

The stillness of the backwaters of Alleppey and the soothing hum of my houseboat as it languidly moves through the canals are a stark contrast to my mind that is abuzz with thoughts. I am trying to reimagine the times when Kettuvalams (the original houseboats of Kerala) would take long arduous journeys to transport grains, […]

Your complete guide to Jatayu Earth’s Centre 2021: Everything you need to know

December 16, 2018 by Srikanth Chakraborty 20 Comments

Indian folklore, dance, drama and other art forms are deeply influenced by mythological beliefs and they play an important part in creating India’s cultural imagination. The oral tradition of folklore being narrated and local drama troupes enacting stage plays have declined since the 1980s with the advent of television media. As a child of this […]

The Chinese Fishing Nets of Fort Kochi, Kerala

August 26, 2017 by Khushboo 18 Comments

“What are those curious looking entrapments all through Fort Kochi?” I asked myself as I took a stroll through the shoreline early in the morning. With the breeze merrily playing with my hair and a cup of coffee that set me back by Rs. 10, I sat on one of the many benches that dotted […]

About Munni of all Trades

We remember the day seven years back when were travelling in a Mumbai local trying hard to come up with a name for our blog when struck us; Khushboo was always called a Jack of all Trades. The name stuck (with a slight modification, of course) and Munni was born. Six years, over 100 collaborations, lakhs of readers and several awards later; our love for blogging continues to grow. We continue to write on an eclectic range of topics from the funniest autorickshaw signs that we have spotted in Mumbai to how to bathe an elephant. We are true blue Munni of all Trades and we hope to continue on this joyride with our fellow Munnis and Munnas. Read More

The beautiful sunrise that paints the sky in different hues of pink and orange, the gorgeous attire adorned by men and women alike and the different art forms that locals are striving to keep alive are some of the things that make Kutch special. Rann Utsav celebrates the exuberance, charm and beauty of Kutch.  The Rann Utsav festival is a four-month-long festival across the largest saltmarsh known as Rann of Kutch. Beginning on November 1st, 2021, the festivities will continue until February 20th 2022.  The organizers have several day trips throughout the day that help you explore the region. From art villages to mandirs, Kutch has a lot to offer for every kind of traveller.  There is live music, cultural performance and art demonstrations throughout the day. Ask the reception for the schedule so that you don't miss out on anything.  Enjoy joy rides in their colour golf carts and autos that will take you throughout the arena.  Are you an adventure lover? You will love their Skyzilla zone where you can enjoy ATV rides, paramotoring and more.  While at Rann Utsav, don't forget to enjoy Gujurati cuisine in the dining area and also in the little food stalls peppered across the arena.

Save this post an #Offbeat Andamans trip: Part 3 Save this post an #Offbeat Andamans trip: Part 3  After spending blissful days at Long Island, it was time to return to Port Blair. Since we skipped Havelock and Neil, North Bay Island was the best option available for scuba diving and sea-walk.  After a rushed breakfast, we drove to Rajiv Gandhi Sports Complex to book our tickets. Booking through an agent is not required though we do recommend pre-booking your activities in advance. After a quick hour-long stop to Ross Island, we were finally at North Bay.  Abuzz with excitement and nerves, we took the glass boat ride which cost Rs. 1000 per head. It was strictly ok and I would honestly recommend skipping it. You can have a much closer look at the corals while diving or going for a sea-walk.  Some refreshing coconut water later, we were all set to learn scuba diving. Now, I had already consumed whatever information I could find on the internet to "learn" scuba diving but at the end of the day, what your instructor says is sacred. Follow instructions and you will be fine.  It was a good experience overall but I feel it was too rushed for first-timers. Srikanth was able to do it in his first attempt, I failed after three attempts and decided to go sea-walking. I found Nemo of course, spotted a bunch of corals and was enthralled by the underwater acrobatics performed by my co-diver.  BTW @lemontreehotels is of course is the best place to stay while in Port Blair. Gorging on the delicious food at Citrus Cafe is just what you need after an exciting day of watersports and diving.  Do you have any questions about Andamans? We are always happy to help.  #andamanadventure #andamansea #andamanandnicobarislands #andamanlifestyle #andamanislands #andamandiaries #exploreandamans #wonderful_places #dslrofficial #ig_myshots #natgeotravel #instagoodmyphoto #mumbaitravellers #munniofalltrades #mumbaitravelblogger
Save this post an #OffbeatAndamans trip: Part 2 A Save this post an #OffbeatAndamans trip: Part 2  A 30-minute ride through mangroves led us to Long Island. As our boat bumbled along, we enjoyed conversations with locals who gave us some useful tips on the islands we must visit during our speedboat rides.  Sumai Reef Resort (INR: 2600 per night) which has 6 beautiful tents named after local fishes was our abode for the next couple of days. We stayed at 'Parshe' fish tent.  The only other place you can stay at Long Island is Blue Planet which is closed for repairs.  Cheerful chirps and calm greeted us wherever we went. I am not exaggerating when I say that we had entire islands to ourselves. The beauty of our stay at Long Island was in the fact that we could cover most of the island on foot, stop over to strangers' houses for a chai and a chat and make friends wherever we went. Over two days, we hired a speed boat to travel to Lalaji Bay, the other end of Long Island, Guitar Island and Merck Bay. I also got a free lesson in driving a speed boat which I did not crash. Yes, it is as thrilling as it sounds :)  Stay tuned for Part 3 of our #OffbeatAndamans trip  #andamanadventure #andamansea #andamanandnicobarislands #andamanlifestyle #andamanislands #andamandiaries #exploreandamans #wonderful_places #dslrofficial #ig_myshots #natgeotravel #instagoodmyphoto #incredibleindia #munniofalltrades #mumbaitravelblogger
Save this post an #OffbeatAndamans trip: Superla Save this post an #OffbeatAndamans trip:  Superlatives fall short to describe the beauty of Andamans. We wanted to be away from the maddening crowds and spend a quiet week amidst nature. Middle Andamans proved to be perfect for an idyllic vacation.  We started our journey at Port Blair staying with @lemontreehotels and pampered ourselves with a quiet romantic dinner. It is the best place to stay when in Port Blair and is less than 200 meters from the airport.  The next morning we set off on a 6-hour long road trip to Rangat, a quiet town that is home to four beautiful beaches. The locals have started eco-tourism initiatives to ensure the place remains pristine. We visited Aamkunj beach, Dhani Nalla beach, Morrice Dera Beach and Ram Bageecha beach.  We had beaches to ourselves wherever we went. We could swim, run around or simply bask in the sun and enjoy the uninterrupted views of the sea.  We stayed at Bliss Holiday Resort, small boutique property abundant with coconut trees and flowers.  Our next stop was Long Island and I will tell you all about it in my next post :)  #offbeatandaman #andamans #mumbaitravelblogger #munniofalltrades #beautifulandamans
