Top Getaways to Just Chill
Opt for camping and resort stay with family amidst lush
winter greens
PET-FRIENDLY GETAWAYS AHOY!
Region: Pavana Lakeside camping
(Lonavla) and Alibaug’s eco-friendly beach spots (Maharashtra)
The nip in the air is fresh and exciting. Not only do
we (the humans) love it but animals (our
furry friends) enjoy it too. When the weather all around is cool, it is
a good idea to take your pets
along on picnics and camping trips by the lake or beach. We suggest
you check out comfortable camping
options as part of guided
holidays where your pets are welcomed to partake in lake swimming,
under supervision. At the outskirts of Mumbai, a quick drive away is Pavana
Lake near Lonavla. Camping under
the open skies has been steadily gaining popularity here. You could
try it too.
Alibaug in Maharashtra is
reachable by road and is also a ferry ride away from Gateway of India in
Mumbai. Many holiday agencies post weekend
ideas online for resort stay or camping amidst lush green surroundings where pets can join in
the fun as well.
In the North, we
suggest a drive to Mussoorie or Agra. You can pre-check with the
resort about pet policies and
then book. Homestay options are
what most pet lovers swear by, as the home owner is eager to host and also
makes arrangements for the pet to feel safe and happy with ample space for playtime.

DINE BY THE CHINESE FISHING NETS
AND WITNESS THOUGHT INSPIRING ARTWORK AT KOCHI MUZIRIS BIENNALE
Region: Kerala
Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2018 is all set to host 95 art
projects, majority of them by women. Kickstarting on December 12, the Biennale will also
have ‘infraprojects’, a model
that was non-existent in the previous three editions of this contemporary art
event.
The Biennale’s
infra-projects are novel assemblages of artworks put together by
external curators within the framework and spirit of the Biennale.
Five such projects have been included in the Biennale
by invitation of Anita Dube,
the curator and artistic director of the festival. The series of events shall
come to an end on March 29 next year in 2019.
The upcoming KMB has expanded the exhibition model to
include an interactive Pavilion,
which permits visitors to share and initiate dialogue, as a learning
experiment.
