#baadabeach #kumta
Instagram post 17852709382709133 When I first arrived in Kumta, I didn’t know what to expect. I mean, it’s a small town in the Uttar Kannada District of Karnataka that not many people know of. I mean it’s not as popular as Gokarna or Murdeshwar that surrounds it. I mean, it’s not even on anybody’s blog or as a must-visit destination in Karnataka. Right? Hmmmm...Well, that’s about to change my friend. Because Kumta is the new beach heaven!!!😍❤️
.

When I first arrived in Kumta, boy, did I not see it coming, that I was going to fall in love with one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches that I’ve ever seen in my life - the #baadabeach Heck! What is this? The coastal strip of Karnataka has some of the best beaches in the world!!! And I’ve been missing out on them cos here I am, exploring the world 🙄 Nonetheless, it’s never too late, is it? We always find the grass to be greener on the other side only to find that the grass has always been lush on our side. And now, my visit to Kumta has put me on an unstoppable conquest to discover the best hidden gems of my home state - Karnataka!!! Woohoooooo. .

And you will be in awe as I upload more and more pictures of what I discovered in this beautiful little town, called Kumta. Yes, Kumta, is going to be your next travel destination on your bucket list! 😎
.

Welcome to Karnataka. .

Instagram post 17845114639776447 Traveling is not cheap. It comes with a cost. You have to pay for your flights, hotels, local tours and food and sometimes this can be quite hard on your pocket. For example, if you want to stay at a luxurious hotel, you might be spending more than what you would if you were staying at a hostel. This is why, I try to get my favourite hotels to sponsor my stay so that it can alleviate my expenses. And one such hotel that I worked with is @rhythmlonavala .
.

I never really planned to go to Lonavala, but I got a chance to work with @rhythmlonavala. And this is when I packed my bags and headed to Lonavala. Many of my travels have been due to free stays and I would be lying if I didn’t say that free stays compel me to actually travel to a place that I wouldn’t have cared about otherwise. And one such place is Lonavala. I discovered the history, culture and the amazing Maharashtrian food at this little city. And not to forget, the world famous chikki 😃😋
.

And I want YOU to visit Lonavala. Which is why, I spoke to the team at @rhythmlonavala and created a small giveaway so that YOU can stop finding excuses to travel and use the 1 N free stay we’re giving away, to plan your next trip to Lonavala! And this is no ordinary hotel, it’s a luxurious 5-star hotel with lipsmacking food and great hospitality - perfect to satisfy your fetish for luxury in an environment friendly setting. .

So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and participate in the contest and visit Lonavala asap! All you have to do is:

1. Follow @rockandsolo and @rhythmlonavala 
2. Tell us what is your idea of an ideal vacation and tag 5 friends in the comments below. .

You never know you might be the next winner 😉 All the best!

I am so excited to begin work for my next video which showcases an integral part of Bengaluru in a way that you’ve never seen before. My goal is to show you the unseen, make you experience the unfelt and inspire you to discover what’s underneath all of us. And I hope you’ll like it!
.

Also, Happy Kannada Rajyotsava! I don’t think there’s a better way to celebrate this day than to begin work on my next video that I mentioned above. Jai Karnataka!
