5 Places to visit in Tulum



Tucked away on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, Tulum is a piece of a dream. You are spiritual yogi, honeymooners, history buffs, or art aficionados, Tulum will serve you the best of all possible ways, be it a private resort with pristine beaches, architectural wonders, and street arts to culinary delight, you got covered by Mexico's hottest boho-chic town Tulum. This boho-chic Mexican city Tulum was once a sleepy town but with the influx of social media influencers, entrepreneurs, and then investors now Tulum is Mexico's hottest destination. Food is prepared to perfection, the music flows to the greatest DJ's tune, and boutiques are full with one of a kind finds, sparkling white sand, beautiful blue water, and cascading jungles adorned this beautiful land. Here are my top picks: 







  1. Tulum Ruins: A few miles from Tulum town, tucked away in natural beauty, this site is different in that the ruins are situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Located at the very end of Tulum’s northern beach, Playa Paraiso Azulic. The breathtaking view of the ocean and, on the contrary, the rustic and earthen character of the ruins make it spectacular. It features some of the best-preserved ruins in Mexico, which was destroyed 20 centuries ago. It is a rustic place of towering pyramids, stunning temples, and columns. A few facts: 1. Be ready to walk and wear comfortable shoes 2. Visit as early as possible to avoid the crowd and the hot sun. 3. Always wear a hat to avoid sun damage. 4. Carry water bottles as it's hot and humid once you go inside. There are no shops to buy water bottles. 5. Mask is required here. 6. Try to avoid Sundays, as the entrance is free for Mexican residents on Sundays, so it can get extremely crowded.



  2. Sfer Ik: On your Tulum trip, visiting the Sfer ik Museum inside the Azulik Resort and Hotel adds a kind of experience totally different from what Tulum offers. An alluring architectural display biophilic design created by Eduardo Neira or Roth. Upon entering, you must take your shoes off and leave them at the door and no professional cameras are permitted, only phone cameras are accepted. This whimsical place was created with sheer imagination without any sketch or blueprint. Harmony with nature and modern human vision is only used and is made with locally sourced materials and craftsmanship. Mileage of spirituality and sheer relaxation Sfer IK is a charming retreat to visit. 




  3. Grand Cenote: The prettiest and the most popular cenote in Tulum. It’s easily accessible by taxi. About a 5-minute ride from town. You can make it an all-day activity whether you want to do snorkeling or swimming in gorgeous crystal clear water. You can totally score some cool Insta-worthy pictures. It opens around 8.15am, and you can avoid a considerable crowd visiting closer to opening time.




  4. Laguna de Kaan Luum: Rarely crowded, I feel Laguna is one of the hidden gems in the southwest of Tulum. Relax on the hammock, go snorkeling or swimming, or jump from the wood board. Clean, crystal clear blue water to rejuvenate or take some great pictures. This place cost 300 pesos per person.






  5. Ven a la Luz sculpture: When consciousness and creativity come together. Popular artist Daniel's 33-foot-tall sculpture Ven a La Luz in Tulum is made out of rope steel and greenery. Unfolded to the public in the 2018 festival called "Art with Me" to raise awareness of the Tulum.

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able         A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well.       A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection.       An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top.  The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid just like pomegranate. Nowadays imitation Assamese jewelry are als

Keeping it simple-random things about me

Hello my dear readers, how are you all doing? Summer vacation has just started here on the east coast. My kids are having a gala time. I can't tell you how time is flying. My time is all occupied by them. Taking to them, playing with them, take them to the library, reading stories and most importantly cooking their favorite food. Hence thought, I'll keep it simple and straightforward. It has been more than a year now, and I have shared so many things about my life, travel, fashion, etc. Today I'll share a few random thoughts about me. 1. My favorite color - Navy blue, peach and off-white. Not that I don't wear any other color, but those colors are readily available in my wardrobe. 2. My favorite outfit - In western I love to wear a crisp white top and blue jeans. I know very casual. In Indian, I love sarees. Mostly, I love handwoven and handwork ones. I love salwar kurta too. You will find more solid colors then prints or patterns in my wardrobe. 3. Am I fitnes

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday  and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but
