Mini Switzerland of India - Khajjiar, Himachal Pradesh

Did you know that Khajjiar is known as the Mini Switzerland of India? Are you really aware about the presence of this heaven on the earth? Do you know about this place existing in India? I frankly did not know about this place before I actually landed in Himachal. Khajjiar is a beautiful hill station in the Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. Surrounded by lush green meadows and fresh dense forests #khajjiar in Himachal Pradesh is worth visiting. 


Khajjiar is a rare and an ultimate combination of three major ecosystems which are the lake, forest and the pastures. India truly has a bit of everything that we could dream of, it's beautiful. India tour is incomplete without Himachal, and Khajjiar is a treasure of Himachal's beauty. Wonderful place, truly a Mini Switzerland of India. Or I would rather say, Switzerland is the Mini Himachal.

Our Trip to Mini Switzerland:
We went to Khajjiar in September 2019, wonderful place and truly a wonderland in India. Himachal Pradesh is truly beautiful. I prepared a travel series for my trip to Khajjiar that I have shared on my YouTube channel and also linked below, you may go through the videos - in fact the total series of videos covering my road trip from Chamba to Khajjiar, followed by a complete travel vlog of the beautiful Mini Switzerland, and then the famous Khajji Nag temple tour. Enjoy full ride from Chamba to Mini Switzerland Khajjiar which are definitely the most scenic road in Himachal Pradesh here in the video below:


So as we started our journey for Khajjiar, the road trip was a breathtaking ride. It is the most exotic and a beautiful place that is full of scenic beauties that one would definitely fall in love with. My school teacher taught me about the grasslands in India. And I came here and I felt as if I am there, there at the grasslands of India. Its a wonderful place to be in, truly a Mini Switzerland of India. Or rather I would say Switzerland is the Mini Himachal. India is beautiful!! 

You can feel the freshness, you can feel the beauty, you can smell the greenery, and you can hear the birds chirping with peace. There you may even find rabbits or birds running around you. You can catch hold of them and click as many pictures as you can, they only charge you Rs. 20 for unlimited clicks. The people of the locality are very helpful and co-operative. During our visit to Khajjiar, we found all of them very hospitable.

Why Mini Switzerland?
There are around 160 locations all around the world that resemble the beauty of Switzerland. Khajjiar was brought in the world tourism map by certifying it as "Mini Switzerland". A yellow sign board of Switzerland showing the distance of Khajjiar from the Swiss capital is mentioned in kilometers. Khajjiar is one among those 160 precious locations in the world that bear some or the other tropical and panoramic resemblance with the beauty of real Switzerland. Apart from that, Khajjiar is even referred to as the Gulmarg of Himachal Pradesh. And it's beautiful. You can get a panoramic view of the beautiful dense and lush green mountain peaks. 

Where is Khajjiar Located?
Khajjiar, the beautiful hill station of Himachal Pradesh is located at a distance of approximately 22 km from Dalhousie and 24 km from Chamba. You may call it a small but a beautiful town located very near to Dalhousie or Chamba, the popular tourist destinations of Himachal and all so well connected with Himachal tourism buses and tourist cabs to and fro round the year. Khjjiar falls in the Chamba district of Himachal, and its a picturesque destination attracting tourists for its exquisite charm and magnificent beauty.  

How to Reach Khajjiar?
Khajjiar can easily be reached either by bus or by taxi. Cabs can even be hired online via #MakeMyTrip or similar applications. I personally trust MakeMyTrip for my bookings, be it any hotel booking or a cab booking. Khajjiar is a popular tourist destination and therefore cabs are easily available to and fro for this place. Many people prefer to book complete tour packages for a trip to Khajjiar including few other places as well in the list that are near and around Khajjiar like Dalhousie, Dharamshala, or even Chamba. Khajjiar can be reached from Chamba, from Dalhousie, or from Pathankot. Dalhousie and Chamba are the nearest towns for Khajjiar. It hardly took us 50 minutes to reach Khajjiar from Chamba through cab. Hence, I would suggest that if you are planning for Dalhousie or Chamba then try not to miss this Mini Switzerland - Khajjiar as well #khajjiartourism

Khajjiar Lake:
Surrounded by beautiful lush green mountain ranges and floating island all around, this lake is an amazing beauty. You can see dense trees all around the Khajjiar lake. The ranges surrounding this lake are full of greenery that are evergreen. It is a ring like lake that is beautified by grassy landscapes all around it. Tourists find the beauty of this lake and greenery worth exploring. When the shadows and the rays of the sun fall on these grassy landscapes, they are beautiful to watch and feel. 


Khajjiar in September:
We got an opportunity to visit the beautiful Khajjiar in one the best time to visit this place. The months of September and October are I would say the best time to visit Mini Switzerland of India - Khajjiar because these are the months when it is neither too hot nor too cold. It might rain on a few days during these months, but it is not so common during this period. If you want to experience snow and if you can really bear the chilling cold there then you may plan for winters when the place is all covered with snow. However if you planning to visit it for simple hangouts, family outings, picnics these September and October could be a great choice.


There are rabbits, there are birds, and there are sheep loitering around you at the scenic Khajjiar grounds. There are options that you click photographs, in fact unlimited clicks with those cute little Benny or rabbits, or even the birds or parachutes. They hardly charge Rs. 20/- for allowing you to click pictures with these lovely creatures there in the beautiful scenic backgrounds. Passing time there at Khajjiar is not at all a issue. The place is ultimate. And am pretty sure that anyone visiting there would definitely fall in love with the scenic beauties of lush green surroundings and the freshness of the place.

As you breathe there, you can feel the real freshness and the hearth taking smell of the greenery there. The birds enjoy there too, you can hear their sweet voices singing behind you. So if you are in search of some calmness, then yes Khajjiar is a solution. You really have options to eat, stay and rejoice over there for hours or for days! In the vicinity there are options for holiday hotels or resorts where you can spend your vacations with you family while even enjoy the freshness and beauty of the real nature. Online booking are even available, and lots of tourists visit this place again and again.

Khajjiar is a preferred tourist attraction in Himachal not only because of its scenic beauties, calmness and chilled weather, but also it is a preferred place for various activities like horse riding, ball gaming, parachutes, and even trekking. It is a very good place for hangouts, for picnics and multiple activities. And when you come to this place Khajjiar, don't miss visiting the famous Khajji Naag temple there which is very old and historical.


It was built year and years ago by the then King of Chamba. And the temple when you see has a golden dome over it and because of that it is also called as the Golden Devi temple. The Khajji Nag temple is dedicated to Naag Devta and you can even find a lot of snake idols kept inside the temple and being worshiped daily. Further, there are even deities of Lord Shiva and Goddess Hidimba. All in all its a beautiful ancient temple worth exploring. The history of this temple I would be telling you in my next blog so make sure you do not miss giving that a quick read too.

Indeed, a lovely place. Difficult to find a match to this ultimate beauty of Khajjiar, Chamba, Himachal. Himachal is filed with immense natural beauty. It's like a paradise, it is real heaven on earth. Khajjiar would definitely be a great option, a great destination for your holidays. This place is not worth skipping in your North India or preferably Himachal vacation list. Best time to visit this place would be from August to October when the place is cool and comfortable. So, if you are planning to visit India during these months then consider including Khajjiar in Himachal in your list. During the winters, the place is filled with snow and the temperature there would be really low.

Jammu to Katra Yatra Mata Vaishno Devi Train Journey


Chalo bulawa aaya hai Mata ne bulaya hai!! It is told that Mata Vaishno Devi calls us to serve her at this holy place where she resides. Ahead of Jammu, in Katra there resides Mata Vaishno Devi on top of the peak that is visited by multitude of devotees all round the year. Recently I was also called by Mata Vaishno Devi, it was my first visit to Vaishno Devi and Katra and the whole experience was amazing. The scenic beauty of train journey from Jammu to Katra is really mesmerizing. Here in this below video I have shared the scenic beauty of this route don't miss that out.


It is preferred and I would suggest that you also opt for a day time journey for this route of Jammu to Katra such that you don't miss out the mesmerizing scenes outside your window glasses. The beautiful mountains, valleys, river Tawi, the greenness and the fresh air outside is heart stealing. Everyone and anyone can fall in love with that view that you get in free while travelling from this Jammu Tawi to Katra train route. The pictures and videos that I have shared here are only few samples, but the real experience something really special. 


Jammu to Katra Yatra Mata Vaishno Devi is an all together a different experience, worth experiencing at least once. The scenic beauty from your train window is amazing. Jammu to Katra train journey  includes few stations like Udhampur and more. All its stations are super neat and tidy. Here's a view of the tidy and absolutely clean Udhampur railway station. I was silent station with so many empty benches on its platform and fresh green air around. I didn't find any people around on that platform that day. But the place was really clean and fresh.


How to Reach?
Tourists in Katra come from far off places all throughout the year. Few like me prefer to take the train route, few take flight, while few prefer to travel in bus or any other mode of roadways. All these trains coming to Katra take the route of Jammu and crosses the beautiful Tawi river of Jammu Tawi. Once you reach Katra by train or bus, from there you can either opt for helicopter or take a pony or start marching on foot. The approximate distance from Katra Banganga to Vaishno Devi temple is around 13 km. As soon as you get down the railway station you can hire an auto till Banganga. Banganga is the place from where your Yatra will actually begin, by foot, bare foot, pony, horse or helicopter.

Registration Slip
To get permission to enter the Vaishno Devi temple we first need to complete our registration process which verifies our adhar card and identity whereby allowing us to proceed further in the Yatra and worship Goddess! Yatra registration slips can be attained from the railway station itself. There is a registration counter inside the railway station which verifies our identity and allows us the permit by providing a registration slip, which we need to keep safely until we complete our total journey. 

Katra railway station
When you come outside the exit gate of Katra railway station, you will see the eternal beauty outside in open air. The view of the beautiful mountain ranges right in front of the station exit. And cleanliness must be awarded there, the station was really very neat and tidy, all well maintained must say.
And not only that, Katra is a station that is all powered by solar power. Here in the picture below you can have a look of the solar panels that have been installed in the railway station. And yes, it is not so common at all. Full railway station working on solar panels is a great achievement and a pride for the country.



Jai Mata Di! Mata Vaishno Devi yatra with this train route was a pretty one and an all together a great experience worth experiencing at least once!

Kufri in Summer and Jakhoo Temple Shimla

Planning to go on a beautiful chilled vacation? Be it summers or be it winters, hill stations are always the all time hit destinations to chill out any vacation. Shimla is one such destination. And if you are planning for Shimla then Kufri is something that you cannot afford to miss. Kufri, a small hill station is full of greeneries and fresh air and is really an amazing place - a real beauty worth exploring.  

Recently we got an opportunity to visit #Himachal Pradesh, and we made it to #Shimla and #Kufri. It was a 3 days trip where we stayed at Shimla and from there we visited all places including the beautiful Kufri. Here in this below linked video I have shared my travel experience of the beautiful Kufri as in summers. It was the month of May, end of May in 2019. Yet it was not that hot, it was cold there in Kufri as well as in Shimla.


On way to Kufri, when you are driving from Shimla to Kufri by road, you will find the beautiful Green Velleys #greenvalley that is full of lush green mountain ranges with contrasting colors and shades. That is a beautiful photoshoot point where travellers like us park and have a shoot while enjoying the freshness of shady mountains. The silence, the peace, the calmness and the beauty, it will all steal your hearts.

Best Places to Visit in Kufri:
- Green Valley
- Apple Garden
- Adventure Island
- Naag Temple
and more..

Different sorts of adventure sports you will find here in Kufri, where paragliding was one of my favorites. Apart from the activities, you can also get a beautiful view of the apple garden there in Kufri. When we went to the apple garden in May-June 2019, then we could not see any apples there on the trees but we were able to see some very cute little tiny pieces of them, the baby apples hanging on every apple plant there. July to November were the suggested time for apple there, as told by the local people. We did horse riding there in Kufri, and also saw the amazing potato farming of Himachal. It was all a real beauty. 

Apart from Kufri we also went to the famous Jakhoo temple of Shimla, located on the Jakhoo hills, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. It was a Hanuman temple located on the heights of the hill top. We hired a  local Shimla tourism taxi from The Ridge for Jakhoo temple and Kufri. Otherwise there are options for ropeways as well if you only wish to go to the holy Jakhoo temple. The temple is famous because of its holy and heavenly history from the past when Lord Hanuman was on his way to get the Sanjeevani Booti, then he stepped at this hill may be for rest. His footsteps has been preserved here in this temple and worshipped for years. There we can find a big Hanuman statue standing right in front of the temple, and is visible from far off places in Shimla too.

Apple garden, green valley, Jakhoo temple, The Ridge, Mall road, Kufri hills, Himachal, adventure sports, horse riding, and many more such beautiful things are waiting here at Shimla and Kufri. #himachaltourism

Life on THE RIDGE SHIMLA

THE RIDGE, SHIMLA is actually a very large open street situated along the popular Mall road of Shimla. And when you are here, for a while you will not feel like you are in India. You would feel like you are in some other country like Europe or in London because the buildings here are of the British era. And you all must be knowing that Shimla had been the British summer capital once long back. 


You can see visitors spending a lot of peaceful merry time walking along the streets of the Ridge with their family or loved ones. The place is pleasant, the views are fantastic and the whole atmosphere is very happening. The day time look, the evening look, and even the night view is amazing. The most preferred timing for visiting this place would be during the sunset time as the view of the sunset from this view point at Ridge is simply mesmerizing.

Standing at the Ridge you can easily get a whole view of the beautiful Shimla town spread along the hills. And on one hill top you would find a big Hanuman statue right on top of the Jakhoo hills. That is the famous Jakhoo temple that you would see.

The place Ridge is something very unique. You wont find any rickshaw, auto, cars, buses, cycles or any form of public transport over here. And that is one the biggest reasons as to why and how people of all ages come and enjoy the beautiful walk here on the streets so peacefully. 

You would find a beautiful big sized Indian flag waving high right here with the cool winds. It looks really patriotic and beautiful. Apart from this you will find that here at Ridge you get a beautiful viewpoint for Shimla. So simply enjoy the view from here. You will of-course feel very much relaxed and rejuvenated as you walk along the streets of the Ridge and around this beautiful Indian flag waving high with the air.

Ridge is something like a central point for Shimla and it connects most of the major places of Shimla like the Mall, the Jakhoo hills, the Lakkar bazar, Snowdon , Christ church and many more. You can also find a statue of Dr. Y S Parmar, the Founder of Himachal standing right here at the Ridge.

The evening and night view of this place and Shimla is simply amazing and worth exploring at least once in your lifetime. The sparkling, twinkling light on the hills make The Ridge and overall Shimla such a beautiful place to explore and enjoy. 

The months of April to June are considered to be one of the most preferred seasons to visit Shimla or nearby places as during this time the weather is clear and cool. You would be able to see the clear lush green mountains all around you. The beauty of the green valleys and the cooling temperature during summers makes this place a preferred choice for spending your holidays at the Himachal. 

With love,
Simmi

When you go to any place, be it big or small, if you are going there for the first time, then it feels really precious if you try bringing at least one-one gift for each of your family members and for your closed friends and for other near and dear ones as per your comfort. Even if you buy few small, tiny and normal products from that special place, then that's a memory for you and your near ones. Beauty of the product lies in the beauty of that place, Andaman. This is what I believe in. Whenever I go somewhere out to a new place, I try buying a few memories from that place for my near and dear ones. And similarly, I bought few memories from Andaman and Nicobar Islands. I covered them in the above video, my Andaman shopping haul video. 

We bought a few cute little things from Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Few of them are mentioned below:
- Bracelets
- Incense stick holder
- Showpieces of sea shells
- Pearls and jewelleries
- A pen stand made of local wood
- Local clothing, Andaman imprinted t-shirt
- A beautiful white fish design fridge magnet
and more!

Most of the products I picked from Corbyn's Cove beach, few from the Port Blair airport, and few certified jewelleries from the Sagarika Government Emporium. We found that the best shop to purchase authentic and certified stuffs that meet the desired quality expectations specially on the pearls and other precious stones, jewelleries. The products over there are quality checked and they meet the quality standards. Top Things to Buy in Andaman and My Shopping Haul | Andaman Shopping Haul | Beach Shopping #haul #Andaman #PortBlair

Port Blair is famous for its iconic cellular jail and its beautiful sunrise and sunset points at the sea ports. You could find beautiful white star corals and several other unique sea shells here in Andaman beaches, however it may be noted that we are strictly not allowed to carry them with us outside Andaman. Airport authorities wont allow this in any circumstances. 

Corbyn's Cove Beach of Port Blair is one of the prominent sight seeing attraction point here in Andaman, with pleasant blue sea waters, water sport activities, and lush green palm trees all along the coast. It is one of the best places for visitors to come and relax their evenings and enjoy the water sports, cool breezes, and the lovely sunset.

In 1943, which is even much before India's independence, freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose visited Andaman and he hoisted this beautiful Tricolor flag on this Indian soil for the very first time in memory to declare Andaman & Nicobar Islands free from the rule of Britishers. And till today, this flag over here and this place stands as a great memorial. It has been named as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Memorial and is today one of the key tourist attractions in the city of Port Blair, Andaman & Nicobar Islands. #PortBlair #BestPlacesToVisit  #AndamanTour #AndamanIslands #TravelVlog

Kolkata to Port Blair Flight View Fly With Me to Andaman & Nicobar Islands

Andaman & Nicobar Islands are one of the seven beautiful Union Territories of India. As per the records, there are a total of around 572 islands in Andaman, which is really a grand number. So many islands in one beautiful territory, it definitely looks super amazing. Andaman & Nicobar Islands are the most beautiful islands of India must say. Andaman Islands are well renowned for their amazingly beautiful palm lines and the shiny white sand beaches. The water looks crystal clear and aqua blue green in color. 

Here's an amazing aerial view of the beautiful Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Let's fly inside dense clouds and above those beautiful aqua blue green sea and islands. We took a morning Spice Jet flight from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata, West Bengal to Veer Savarakar Airport in Port Blair, Andaman & Nicobar Islands in March 2019. Kolkata to Port Blair Flight View ✈️ | Trip to Andaman 🏖️ | The Most Beautiful View | Fly With Me | How it Looks from Inside #AndamanTour #KolkataToAndaman #FlightAerialView #PortBlair


This is certainly a must watch video if you have not seen Andaman in your life. These islands are simply amazing. I realized that the best time for travel to Andaman is from September to March. Summer and rainy seasons need to be avoided. You get a really beautiful view from inside the flight itself. The travel from Kolkata to Port Blair via flight is an awesome experience, worth treasuring. 

We recently got an opportunity to visit this beautiful place that is really worth exploring at least once in your life. We took a direct flight from Kolkata to Port Blair. The only commercial airport for the Andaman & Nicobar Islands is the Veer Savarkar International Airport located in Port Blair, Andaman & Nicobar Islands. We chose Spice Jet for our travel, though there are several other direct and connecting flights too from Kolkata or even from few other places like Chennai and more.

SELL AT COST HAUL starting ₹4/- | MY CHEAPEST HAUL EVER Unboxing & Review

Sell At Cost Shopping Haul Unboxing and Review

A lot of you guys here must already be knowing about this Sell At Cost app, but in case you are not aware about it then this blog and the attached video is for all of you. Here you will get to know about this newly launched site, their lovely product offerings, such an affordable price options and more. 

Here is my latest haul video of #SellAtCost This is my cheapest haul ever starting Rs. 4 only. Unlike Club Factory, Sell At Cost app is a new shopping destination with really cute and affordable range of products. Be it jewelleries, kitchen essentials, home decor, clothing or more. So go check out the video and am sure you will get an idea about their offerings, product ranges, quality and pricing. They are just amazing.


Now people who don't know about this app, let me just tell you that the name of this app is 'Sell At Cost' and it is somewhat similar to Club Factory or i Wish applications and shopping portals. The one difference is that other apps add on the shipping costs, taxes and other charges or hidden costs in their displayed price from the beginning while here it gets added up after you checkout, and hence the displayed price on the product will seem extremely low which is actually the cost price but not the selling price you may say. And this is the key specialty of this Sell At Cost application. Everything here you will find at the cost price.

Sell At Cost categories:
#Jewellery
#HomeDecor
#Clothing
#Beauty
#Electronics
#Handbags
and more..

The Sell At Cost app has been recently launched on 26th February 2019. I recently downloaded the app from play store and added several random products in my cart. The product ranges are very interesting and it wont let you go off without filling your cart. So I ordered few cute little things from the app which got delivered recently. I shared all the products that I shopped for in my recent video. 

I bought the following items from this site:
- Fridge Food Container Hanging Mesh Storage Bag @ Rs. 26/-
- Refrigerator Portable Storage Container @ Rs. 37/-
- Cake Silicon Scraper @ Rs. 15/-
- Silicon BBQ Oil Brush @ Rs. 10/-
- Eye Shadow Brush @ Rs. 10/-
- Ginger Garlic Slicer @ Rs. 11/-
- Adjustable Jewelleries Storage Box @ Rs. 7/-
- Flower Shaped Stainless Steel Egg Fry Molds @ Rs. 9/-
- 3 Pieces Set Strong Glue Hooks @ Rs. 10/-
- 7 Pieces Flower Design Colorful Tea Costers @ Rs. 4/-

I bought a total of 16 products at Rs 156/- only, but then it added up its shipping cost which was Rs. 345/-, then a tax of Rs. 73/-, and therefore I got a total bill of Rs. 574/-. So before placing your order don't forget to check out the shipping charges. Otherwise the site and the product ranges, and its quality and everything are very good. I personally liked this Sell At Cost app and wish to order some more from its next sale. Buying few random cute stuffs of Rs. 200/- or Rs. 400/- makes a sense here. After all they are so so cute that they really steal your heart. And for the products that I received from this site, as listed above, I admire their quality too. So go give it a try and share your feedback in the comments section below or on my video page. I will more than appreciate that.

Sandhya Maha Aarti at Brahma Sarovar, Kurukshetra, Haryana

Brahma Sarovar is a sacred water pool in Thanesar, Kurukshetra that attracts a lot of tourists, visitors and devotees every day towards its beautiful evening Maha Aarti that is performed daily around the beautiful glowing gorgeous lake side in front of the Mahadev temple that is situated within the Brahma Sarovar lake. Brahma Sarovar is considered to be a divine and a sacred place by Hindus and is genuinely awesome.

The below video is a small Maha Aarti video glimpse of the beautiful aarti at Brahma Sarovar, Kurukshetra. I personally got an opportunity to visit the place recently and I found that the Maha Aarti was something that can blow off your hearts. It was simply amazing. So please watch the below video and share your feedback with me. I hope you will love the Aarti and its beauty too.


Kurukshetra is considered to be sacred itself because it is the Mahabharat City Kuruksehtra. Brahma Sarovar is one of Asia's biggest Sarovar. The Maha Aarti is performed on the banks of brahma sarovar daily in the evening during the sunset time. It includes the Om Jai Jagadish Hare aarti, the matra chanting and Kurukshetra Maha Aarti. Loads of people and devotees gather here daily to attend this divine and beautiful pleasant aarti. 

Geeta Jayanti festival is organized once in every year on this Brahma Sarovar premises. Lots of people gather here to take privilege of the Geeta Jayanti Fair or Mela. Unlike the Maha Aarti performed on the holy banks of river Ganga in Haridwar, devotees even are able to have a glimpse of the similar pattern Maha Aarti at Brahma Sarovar Lake located in Kurukshetra district of Haryana.

Runway1 AEROPLANE Restaurant, Ambala and New Delhi

You all must be imagining that how can a aeroplane be parked inside the town on a national highway? Yes, yes, yes you are right, it is a real aeroplane, a real aircraft that is parked here and is now open for common public for fine dining. This beautiful real airbus, located in Ambala and New Delhi is an actual aircraft that has been turned into a fine dining restaurant and is now named as Runway 1. 

Well, let me tell you, Runway 1 is the name of a beautiful restaurant that has been opened inside an unused aircraft. It was junked by Air India and then lately turned into an eatery, a fine dining restaurant. Yes it is actually a real aircraft  but it is no more functioning as travels. It has been converted into a restaurant. It is a beautiful invention must say. And this beautiful invention is worth exploring. 

The Runway 1 aeroplane restaurant is parked on the following two locations:
- National Highway (NH1) Ambala Kurukshetra stretch, Ambala, Hayana
- Rohini Adevnture Island, New Delhi, India

So, if you have got bored up with your regular restaurant dining then don't miss out to explore this lovely aeroplane restaurant, head towards these real aircraft and get that real feel of on-boarding, check-ins and seating in any beautiful flight or aeroplane. Get a totally different experience all together. Come lets get into the restaurant and check out its ambiance, food and experience. Recently I got a chance to visit this Runway 1 aeroplane restaurant located in Ambala and I really loved the whole aeroplane theme and structure. 

The look and feel from inside as well as from outside was awesome and really gives you a feel as if you are actually boarding some flight. Runway 1 is a real aeroplane that has been turned into a fine dining eatery, a beautiful restaurant. Recently we went there and we really loved the whole experience of this aeroplane restaurant. It is located in Ambala Kurukshetra NH1 and also in Rohini Adventure Island New Delhi India. I loved this experience so much that I thought of sharing this experience with my audience through my blogs and videos. So I recorded few things there, compiled, and prepared a short but detailed video regarding this Runway 1 aeroplane restaurant, its menu, food, boarding, seating, tickets, DJ, play areas, parking and many more. So please check out the below video which covers all of these aspects in a beautiful way. I am sure you will enjoy watching it. It's amazing.


I hope you enjoyed the walk inside the aircraft with me through this small video. For more of such beautiful videos or contents, please go to my YouTube channel "Indian Youtuber Simmz" and Subscribe it. Subscribing is totally free. Join my journey in blogging, vlogging, and exploring India in a much better way by subscribing the channel.

After watching the video you must have got the real idea as to how the actual experience of this restaurant is. Wasn't it like a real aeroplane experience? Seriously the runway and the parked real aircraft was amazing.

Before we board this flight, the Runway 1 aeroplane restaurant, we need to take our tickets from the counter and collect our boarding passes. Similar to boarding any flight, we need to show our boarding passes here also to get permission to enter or board the aircraft restaurant. They charge Rs. 200/- per person for the boarding passes. This Rs. 200 gets adjusted in your food bills later on. You may either pre-book your seats through telephonic contact numbers available online, or book directly online through booking websites, or plan up a sudden hangout and book your tickets from the Runway 1 counter, anytime. It is a real fun experience. 

The prices of their food were neither too high nor too low. We ordered man-chow soups, pahaadi chicken, grilled fish with lemon butter sauce, Beijing chilly chicken and some plain naan. And must say we loved each of these items. They were really fresh and yummy. I loved the way they presented the food on the table with real fire and decorations. You can see the presentation in my above video. 

We went there to celebrate my Mom's birthday. We had taken a read velvet cake with us from outside, and the restaurant easily allowed us to cut the cake and even served us the cake slices in different quarter plates generously. The service of this restaurant was good. I personally didn't face any problem or complications here. Everything was smooth and pleasant. Light music was being played inside, the restaurant was fully lighted and also seemed neat and clean. 

So why waste your money on bulky expensive flight tickets if you only wish to take a feel of the luxury aeroplane dining? Right?? 

With love,
