That’s how I found myself boarding a flight to Serbia—a country most travelers overlook but one that ended up giving me an experience richer than any five-star resort. First Impressions of Belgrade I landed in Belgrade, the capital city, with zero expectations and a hungry heart for discovery. And the first surprise? Kindness. Pure, unexpected kindness. Within minutes of getting off the bus, a local noticed me struggling with directions. "Are you lost?" he asked gently, and then walked me all the way to my hostel without asking for anything in return. Belgrade feels like a city caught in time: Communist-era buildings standing tall next to modern cafes. Street art exploding with emotion. An undercurrent of music and rebellion in every alley.

Tucked away in the sunburnt dunes of Rajasthan, about 20 km from Jaisalmer, lies a ghost village with a chilling past — Kuldhara. Once a prosperous settlement of the Paliwal Brahmins, this place now stands eerily silent, its crumbling homes whispering stories of betrayal, curses, and mass disappearance. The History of Kuldhara — In Short Kuldhara was established around 1291 AD and was once a thriving village known for advanced irrigation and trade. But one dark night around the early 1800s, the entire population vanished overnight — nearly 1,500 people — leaving no trace behind. The reason? As legend goes, the powerful and cruel Diwan of Jaisalmer, Salim Singh, wanted to marry the village chief’s daughter. To protect her honor, the Paliwals decided to abandon the village completely. Before leaving, they cursed Kuldhara — that no one would ever be able to settle there again. And till today, that curse seems to have held true. Why is Kuldhara Famous? Kuldhara is one of India’...

 History of Jailsmer - Jailsmer city Rajasthan India. Long ago, in the heart of the vast Thar Desert, a brave ruler named Rawal Jaisal sought to build a kingdom that would shine like the sun. In the year 1156 AD, he discovered a yellow sandstone hill that glowed golden at sunrise and sunset. He knew this was the place destined for greatness. There, he founded the city of Jaisalmer, naming it after himself — “Jaisal’s Hill.” At the center of the city, he built the magnificent Jaisalmer Fort, rising like a golden crown from the desert. Protected by strong walls and high towers, the fort became home to warriors, traders, and artists. For centuries, Jaisalmer thrived as a trading hub between India and Central Asia.
