The Roaming Shoes

Switzerland is one of the foremost countries that made way to my wishlist as I took interest in traveling. Thanks to the Bollywood movies which made it look like the ultimate destination of Romance. The alpine meadows, glimmering lakes, delightful lanes and little towns dotted with chocolate-box chalets were enough to make me fall in love with the charming country. Finally on our 5th wedding anniversary, we visited Switzerland for a week and were totally blown away by its beauty. Honestly speaking, it is much more beautiful than what I had seen in those romantic Bollywood flicks. So here are 20 pictures to give you a glimpse of this European gem’s beauty. Have you seen a waterfall in the middle of a town anywhere? Murren – A place where heaven meets the earth Next stop – Paradise, oops..

A historical district just 185 kilometres from Bangalore, Hassan has been on our list ever since we passed through it on our trip to Chikkamangaluru. The windmill dotted mountains, the architecturally elaborate temples and the sprawling farmlands were just too enticing to resist. So on a cool January weekend when we had a hankering to visit something offbeat, we decided to take a trip to Hassan . Though people mostly use Hassan for day trips or as a gateway to other popular destinations like Sakaleshpur or Chikkamangaluru, we decided to stay there overnight and explore the place leisurely. Reaching Hassan There are regular trains and buses that ply from Bangalore to Hassan . Once you reach Hassan, hire a local taxi to visit places of interest. But hiring a car for the whole trip is the best option if you love road trips like us. The road condition to Hassan is excellent and it took us around 3.5 hours to reach Hassan from Bangalore.
