Agra, one of the most attractive tourist destinations because of its many splendored Mughal era buildings, most notably The Taj Mahal- One of the Seven Wonders of the world , Agra Fort and Fatehpur Sikri, all three of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites , is a symbolic city of love! The trip to Agra was totally unplanned, I was in Gwalior for some official stuff, got free early in the morning and had to spend around 8-9 hours in Gwalior with nothing to do in the unknown city, I was with my cousin and trust me we are very good at planning such excursions!

© Monish Shrivastava | All rights reserved. GOA!!!! The very first name which comes to everyone's mind when thinking of a place to travel within the boundaries of India, that too a road trip? The icing on the cake, I suppose.  This is how I saw Goa through my lens. Travelling from Pune, I took an astonishing road trip via Kolhapur and Belagavi, into the hills and down to the ocean! Situated on the western coast, Goa is the smallest state of India. Goa is one of the most startling destinations, innumerable beautiful beaches, scenic historical monuments and a lot more to offer. Imagine not being a part of the trip until the last 7 days and suddenly getting a call from a friend, discussing a trip planned to Goa. Yes! Like a typical Bollywood movie plot is what my story is.
