Our previous trip was covered in  part 2 AGRA As a former capital city of the region, Agra is a must-visit Indian location, with the climate suiting winter visits best. It offers an urban landscape filled with fantastic sights and experiences. The majesty of Agra’s past still lingers and is evident in the culture and surrounding architecture, including the famous inlaid marble and red sandstone buildings.

Great things never came from comfort zones Team Apex set out on a journey pan India to see India's landmarks for themselves. In the process, we experienced things that were so profound, we decided to share them via this blog. MUMBAI To travel is to take a journey into yourself. Mumbai is not only the capital but also the heart of Maharashtra. It does not need any introduction. There are the endless things to do and watch in Mumbai.

Team Apex continues to explore India via Gaya and Pune. Our previous trip was covered in  part 3 . GAYA Our journey started for the city which is mentioned in Ramayana as well as in Mahabharata. Yes, we are talking about Gaya – the city which holds an ancient historical and mythological significance. The city is surrounded by hills by three sides and falgu river flows on the fourth side. So, the climate is seasonable in Gaya – in winter, it is too cold and in summer, it is too hot. This Phlagu river never gets flooded as it is considered that MATA SITA has cursed this river. Lord Rama had performed PIND DAAN for his father. That's why Gaya is famous for Pind Daan - it is the way by which the dead attain Moksha. It is believed that no work can be successfully performed without the blessing of ancestors and performing Pind Daan brings the blessings of the forefathers.  The Visnupad temple - located along the falgu river, is dedicated to Lor...
