Turkey in November! No, it's not that freezing but I believe that its is the best time to visit. Overall, Climate in Turkey varies from region to region. Especially in the beach resorts of the south, the best time to travel is between June and September. Those wishing to avoid the holiday rush and the oppressive heat may prefer to travel in spring and autumn.

 

This was my third trip to Turkey and the first two ones where just in and around Istanbul but this time we touched almost known city for the reasons to get taste of history, architecture, shopping and of course the glittering night life to show some moves on the dancing floor. Hence, 10 day in November 2018 were selected to take a group of 35 people which was managed by our company NIKU Adventures and I must say that every day and every city we stopped over was full of adventures and fun with amazing people on board in this family group

 

The whole trip was designed to cover Turkey’s main touristic cities/places while giving our travellers a lifetime opportunity to visit amazing Cappadocia to experience fairy chimneys and underground city. The initial days were spent in Izmir to experience beautiful beach, the ancient city of Ephesus and to experience mineral rich thermal waters flowing down from white travertine terraces in Pamukkale. The trip last four days gave a chance to our travellers to stay in Istanbul, which is home to the iconic Hagia Sophia, the massive 17th Century Blue mosque, Topkapi Palace which was former home of sultans and not to forget the famous shopping from Grand Bazar.

 

The main highlight of the trip was a three nights and four days stay in Cappadocia, where unusual rock formations that have further been carved into underground cities, churches and cave houses gives you a mesmerizing experience. Some of these rock formations look like mushrooms and they look so enthralling that one can’t take away eyes once spotted.

 

Turkey is almost unmatched in its affordability, especially for the packages in the western and southern coasts. There are still large price differences for accommodation depending on high or low season. Turkey is not just a country but a whole world within itself and not including it in your travel calendar during your lifetime, I bet you are going to miss heaven on earth.

Blessed with beaches, forests and all of nature’s bounty, Malaysia, in many ways, lives up to its reputation of being ‘truly Asia’. From the clash of history and modernity in glittering Kuala Lumpur to the rich cultural heritage of Penang and the pristine white beaches of Langkawi.

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.
