How To Get To La Digue?
1. Fly into Mahé. Most international flights arrive at Seychelles International Airport (SEZ) on Mahé, the country's main island.
2. Mahé to La Digue (via Praslin) We took the Cat Cocos high-speed ferry from Mahé. The journey lasted about 1.5 hours, with a brief stop in Praslin, but no need to change ferries.
Pro Tip: Book ferry tickets in advance, especially during peak season. Opt for the upper deck for sea breezes and ocean views, but pack light - lugging big suitcases over La Digue's sandy paths isn't ideal."
1. Explore by Bicycle - La Digue has almost no cars - just a few electric buggies and the occasional ox-cart. The best way to get around is on bicycles that you can rent right at the jetty.
2. Visit Anse Source d'Argent - Named as the most beautiful beaches in the world, Anse Source d'Argent delivers on every front - Blush-pink sand, towering granite boulders and shallow, turquoise lagoons

...You'll have to take the Tequila Express
Tourism used to be a simple equation. You went somewhere, checked out views, temples, eateries, and soaked in whatever else the place had to offer. But, now, sights and shopping aren't enough. You need a side of spectacle. Think vibes, curated playlists, mood lighting, the right Instagram filter. And if you've got extra dosh, throw in a themed train ride - with a tequila bar - that could make a mariachi weep. Hop on to the Tequila Express. This isn't some novelty name - it's a real train chugging across Mexico's agave-covered terrain. First launched in 1997 to kickstart 'tequila tourism', it took a break and is now back - refurbished, refuelled, and ready to serve 1.2 mn tipsy tourists a year. And this isn't just transport. It's a full-blown rolling fiesta connecting Guadalajara with Tequila, Mexico, complete with enlarged windows, soft lighting, piped-in mariachi music, and flat-screens flashing tacos and distilleries - basically, Agave Netflix while you sip your third shot before noon. Meanwhile, rival trains like the Jose Cuervo Express charge even more to wobble through the same cactus-studded scenery. The best bit? Tequila is now a Unesco World Heritage site. So, yes, getting sloshed on a train officially counts as cultural enrichment. Moral of the story: It's not where you go, but how you sell the ride. Just add lime and call it heritage. Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea. Everything 'e' won't make you a millionaire. Just look at e-pharmacies Are Indian banks staring at their worst in 7 years? How Uber came back from the brink to dislodge Ola Will Royal Enfield's back to the future strategy woo GenZ?

5 Bollywood Movies That Will Awaken The Travel Bug In You
When was the last time you took a trip? While our friends on Instagram may be posting international trip pictures every week, some of us have even gotten unaffected by those, and do not remember the last time we booked a train or flight ticket. If you are in the same boat (and not hopping on a real boat), you need a little inspiration to hit pause on that routine, pack a suitcase and just go on that trip. Vacations are often seen as a luxury but mean so much more than that. A single trip has the power to change your life completely. Don't believe us? Well, if you believe in the magic of storytelling, here are five beautiful, fun and heartwarming travel-inspired Bollywood movies that just might awaken that travel bug inside of you. Here Are 5 Travel-Based Movies You Should Watch To Get Inspired: 1. Swades (2004) This is your sign to watch 'Swades' if you have not already seen this wonderful movie. The Shah Rukh Khan-starrer film is considered to be one of his finest by fans and critics, and yet an underrated film often forgotten, since it is devoid of stereotypical Bollywood masala. The travel aspect in this film is also unique - the protagonist, Mohan, is a modern man, an NRI working at the technological forefront of NASA in the US. The film explores his journey back home, to the villages of India, and an internal journey that completely changes his perspective towards life and one's own country. 2. Jab We Met (2007) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shamira Fanclub 👩❤️💋👩 (@shahidmirafb) One of the most fun Imtiaz Ali movies, 'Jab We Met' revolves around Geet (Kareena Kapoor) and Aditya (Shahid Kapoor), where a missed train brings them together on a long and adventurous journey to Geet's home. The story captures how spontaneous travel and meeting new people can completely transform your life, and sometimes, also bring love. 3. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' is a through-and-through travel-based film, with every intention to encourage you to plan a trip with your closest friends, face your fears, laugh out loud, and even shed a tear or two. The film stars Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin in key roles. It's one of the films fans love rewatching and continues to inspire every single time to hit the play button. 4. Queen (2013) Another travel-based Bollywood film we love is 'Queen', helmed by Vikas Bahl. The film follows the journey of Rani (Kangana Ranaut), a simple girl from Delhi's Rajouri Garden, whose fiance (Rajkummar Rao) breaks up just a few days before their marriage. Heartbroken, Rani decides to go on her honeymoon all by herself, and the trip to Paris and Amsterdam teaches her how to find her independence, courage, self-love and confidence. The film has unconventional characters you will fall in love with, and it will leave you with an urge to go on a solo trip and find yourself. 5. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) View this post on Instagram A post shared by yeh jawani hai diwani (@yeh_jawaniii_hai_deewani_) One of the most popular Bollywood films among the youth, 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' shows how "topper" Naina's (Deepika Padukone) attitude towards life changes when she takes a leap of courage and goes on a trip to Manali with a bunch of strangers she only knows by name. On this trip, Naina learns how to enjoy life and not take things too seriously - a lesson we all need from time to time. She creates lasting friendships and even finds the love of her life - Bunny (Ranbir Kapoor). On the flip side, the film also explores Bunny's love for freedom and travel, as he takes a job with a travel show and lives his life to the fullest - living in new countries, meeting new people, and exploring new cuisines. The film will make you fall in love with travel, and also help you draw a line to not use it as an excuse to escape life and things that mean the most to us. Watch these fun and beautiful Bollywood movies and after that, maybe call your friends to plan that trip you always wanted to.

Inside Rahul Vaidya's Cannes Trip With Disha Parmar And Daughter Navya
Last Updated: Rahul Vaidya, along with Disha Parmar and Navya, who are staying at Cannes Carlton, were seen relaxing in the garden. Since tying the knot with Disha Parmar and welcoming their daughter Navya in September 2023, Rahul Vaidya has been delighting fans with glimpses of his family life. Currently in Cannes for a wedding performance, the singer offered a peek into their heartwarming getaway. Staying at the picturesque Carlton Hotel, Rahul, Disha, and little Navya have been making the most of their time, unwinding in the grand garden, exploring the city, and soaking in the wedding festivities. Dressed in elegant traditional Indian attire against the scenic European backdrop, the family looked nothing short of radiant. In the first photo, Rahul is seen happily lifting his daughter, Navya, on his shoulders, while Disha smiles for the camera. Other pictures capture sweet moments of the couple enjoying their time with Navya, at the wedding venue, visiting tourist spots and even during their flight. A few pictures show the trio exploring different places in Cannes, such as a cosy coffee shop and the scenic port area. In one of the pictures, Rahul is dressed in a bright red kurta and pyjama, which he paired with white sneakers and black sunglasses. Taking to Instagram, the singer wrote, 'A lil bit of Cannes." In an earlier interview with ETimes, Rahul Vaidya, speaking about how his daughter, Navya, has changed him, said, 'I have become calmer and more mature as a person. Another thing that has changed is that earlier, Disha and I used to take impromptu vacations, but now we can't. Our holidays are planned and now we have our baby with us. Of course, it is a lot of fun. We plan to move into the new house by this year. We are looking forward to it." The singer feels lucky to have Disha Parmar by his side, as she takes full care of their baby. He says her support allows him to give time to his work without worry. He shared that there are moments when their daughter looks around the house, calling for him and even kisses his photo when she misses him. Thinking about those little things makes him emotional and brings a smile to his face. Rahul Vaidya is currently seen in Laughter Chefs season 2, alongside Abdu Rozik, Elvish Yadav, Abhishek Kumar, Samarth Jurel, Ankita Lokhande, Vicky Jain, Kashmera Shah, Krushna Abhishek, Mannara Chopra, Sudesh Lehri and Rubina Dilaik.
