A mini guide how to visit Keukenhof Garden

 









Keukenhof Garden, called Garden of Europe, 79 acres of a tantalizing tapestry of tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths with a rhapsody of colors, is a dream and beyond borders cause of its idyllic beauty. And people visit across the borders to experience nature's splendor.  A stunning display of colors and meandering small canal-like waterways makes the park pure magic. It is one of the most visited destinations during the tulip season. However, being one of the popular destinations makes it crowded. A few tips can ease your trip.










Here is my mini-guide
Keukenhof is Less than an hour from Amsterdam and many other cities in the Netherlands
✦Transportation or How to visit
Take the Keukenhof Express bus 858
( Schiphol Airport) , Bus 852 ( RAI), Bus 850 ( Haarlem) & Bus 854 ( Leiden )
If you are taking TraIN
Take a train from Amsterdam
The nearest stations to Keukenhof Tulip Garden are:
1. Lisse
2. Hillegom
If you are renting a bike, 
rent from Keukenhof/Lisse/ Hillegom
✦ 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍: The Tulip season typically starts in March until early-mid May(weather dependent)! But the best time to visit is mid-April when the flowers are best. However, it depends on the year and the weather.
Opening Hours: Keukenhof is open seasonally between March 20 and May 11, and the opening hours are 8:00 am to 7:30 pm
✦How to Get the Tickets. You can get the tickets from Kekunhof’s official website. or any other website
Adult =20 Euro
children between 4-17= 9Euro for
children under 3= free for
Tips: Getting tickets a week or 2 weeks before always helps you to get your desired or convenient time slot. Also, guaranteeing your entry at the gate is quite difficult as too many people in the lines.
Parks get crowded after 10 am. Getting the ticket earlier than 10 or later in the evening can surely help avoid the whirlpool of crowds.
Wearing comfortable shoes is a must ...as it requires walking and sometimes gets a little wet or muddy.
You need at least 3-4 hours to explore and enjoy the park
The Garden has a cafeteria/food hall since it’s crowded bringing food and water surely makes your job easier.

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 jus...

Jurun...an assamese beautiful pre-wedding ceremony

  Indian weddings encompass many beautiful ceremonies and traditions. In Assamese culture, Jurun is a pre-wedding ceremony. It usually occurs a day or two before the wedding day, sometimes even on the same day of the wedding. A tradition where the groom’s family, especially women, visit the bride's family to present the wedding trousseau (Mekhela chadar), jewelry, some makeup, and accessories. In my belief, a tradition that welcomes the bride to her new family with gifts, love, and blessings.  On the day of Jurun, Aam Dali godha (A stringed mango leaf) is a tradition and is tied over the door. It is believed that it will ward off all bad energy and bring good luck to the newlyweds. Usually, jurun happens in the morning or before noon. The goom does not accompany the group. Before going to the bride's home, the groom and his family get blessings from the people who gather for the jurun. Another tradition associated with Jurun is filling two small bell metal vases (called l...

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 ...
