Thailand – For the Street-Food loving Mommy
Thailand can easily be called the synonyms of street food. In fact, Bangkok tops the world as the best city to visit if you are a food lover. Certainly, street food is everywhere in Thailand.

Hampi – For the History Buff Mum
There can be no better place than Hampi to travel with your mom if she is a history lover. Referred to as the ‘Group of Temples’, this historical place’s story dates back to 1500 AD. The quaint place lying amid striking ruins of the past has innumerable boulders around Hampi that are easy to climb. Located on the bank of the Tungabhadra River, Hampi has many tourist attractions like Virupaksha Temple, Vithala Temple and Nandi Statue. This Mother's Day, take your mother on a fascinating journey down India’s historical lane with this World Heritage Site.
Bali – For the Beach Lover Mom
When you are a mother, you have no sick leaves, no privilege leaves and no off days! It’s painful, and at the same time surprising to see your mom work 365 days and 24x7 without any demands and complains. No doubt, motherhood is a thankless job, which is why she needs a break. A break that is made of endless sea and magical sunsets into the horizon. Take her to explore the innumerable beaches and lazy life of this island, the mesmerising underwater world, and don’t forget to capture the picture perfect memory of her gazing at the sunset this Mother's Day. You’ll never see her as relaxed as that moment.

Creative ninja and a true follower of ‘Work, Save, Travel, Repeat’, I love to travel, experience places and bring back stories for a lifetime. Born and brought up in Ahmedabad, I like to visit the same old places, the same cliched tourist spots and destinations, but choose to see the unexplored in the old places. Always inclined towards the mighty mountains in their debate with the beaches!
