I could have never imagined that I will be called up again by Allah the Almighty towards his home and mercy only after a year of performing Hajj. Availing 9 days VIP Umrah package of Niku Adventures in January 2019 was indubitably an unforgettable trip of love, passion and strengthening ties with my creator.

We moved in a group of 40 people and landed in Jeddah, wearing Ahram, a symbolic dress of obedience. Afterwards we headed towards Makkah in luxurious transportation, reached to Swissotel  Makkah, a five-star hotel in the close proximity of Masjid Al Haram. Leaving the luggage in hotel, i stepped towards Haram with my family; my heart was pounding hard to face Kaaba, the most sacred site on the earth.

I was excited about the first supplication as heard that the invocation made at first sight of Kaaba gets accede.  Later on, we performed Tawaf, Nawafil, Saee and other rituals.

After spending 3 mesmerizing nights in Makah, we headed towards Madinah, a place of ultimate devotion towards our Prophet (pubh) .  There we stayed in Crown Plaza Hotel, hardly a few minutes distant from the gate of Masjid e Nabwi.

Passing time under the striking green dome, sighting dusk and feeling cold breeze in Madinah was an out of the world experience. Fortunately, I got multiple chances to offer nawafil in Riaz ul Jannah, the green carpet which is spiritually a part of heaven. Guided Ziarat to the holy places like Ahad Mountain, Islamic Museum, Garden of Salman Al Farsi and dates bazaar were also the cheerful moments for me and my family.

Allah had made the whole journey easy for us. Alhamdulilah!

It’s a myth that Thailand is all about go- go bars, parties and just night life. Thailand has much more to offer along with the above mentioned features. Back in 2010 when I visited Bangkok only for a company offered training, I returned back with the ugliest image of Thailand. Well it was not the fault of Bangkok but mine choosing the wrong hotel at the wrong place i.e. The famous NANA area.

‘Let’s find some beautiful place to get lost’ I’m still in the spell of silent beauty of dark night of old Bukhara streets. There wasn’t anything amazing than to walk in the old city late night while discovering the history and observing the appealing antichretic in the streetlights. I never felt so comfortable and secure as was in Uzbekistan.  It was wonderful experience to enjoy the busy and night life of Tashkent than to enjoy the peace and silence with Uzbekistan cuisine. The most surprising and welcome part of the cuisine was incredible salads, fresh tomatoes and cucumber salad that served almost every sitting and the whole grilled chicken, vegetable shish kebab, fries, bread and sparkling water was something beyond expectation.
