Gay weekend getaway to Rishikesh, a short gay vacation in India

So the beautiful winters are departing and advent of the dog days is closer. Summer, in most of the parts of India, is as annoying as a nagging boyfriend. Super hot sun, heat from the mechanic monsters on streets  & thousands of people in any place you go making it suffocating and unbearably hot!


Thankfully, there are some places in India where people take shelter from the inferno heat. Himalaya holds a very significant spot in Indian culture and hence people pay visit as pilgrims to Himalayas too . On the foothills of Himalayas is a very beautiful town that holds mythological importance and is a hub of spiritualism. A town where there is so much of diversity in activities.Rishikesh is a small town in Dehradun, Uttrakhand. The town is the gateway to the Himalayas. The holy Ganga flows in Rishikesh. Pilgrims come to the city to take a dip in Ganga and cleanse all the sin. 

Besides the religious facade, Rishikesh also has a very different side. Rishikesh is a favourite spot for adventure lovers. It is a hub for thrilling water sport  like river rafting, Kayaking, waterfall trekking, Canoeing etc.  Rishikesh has a vast natural area where activities like Camping, Hiking, Bungee Jumping, Asia's longest 1 km long Flying Fox, Gaint Swing, Cliff Jumping, Trekking, Rock climbing and Backpacking are also very popular.




Rishikesh  is the Yoga capital of the world and attracts thousands of spiritual seekers every year. Relaxing yoga classes be the Gurus and then adventure on the mountains makes a perfect blend for the most meaningful vacation.



PINK VIBGYOR, the gay tours and travel company, is arranging a weekend getaway trip to Rishikesh after a successful weekend gay trip to alwar. A leisure gay vacation for three days that will include a lot for nominal price. More exact details will be out soon.

6 solid reasons to travel with us.

Why to travel with Pink Vibgyor

Traveling has always been a part and parcel in the world – of lives. Traveling can sometimes transform you spiritually, mentally and even personally. For a short period of time or a longer one. Such is the power of traveling. The visions you see: a stretch of yellow mustard flowers from a distance, massive hills with details in front of you - the sound of river flowing visiting your ears, or feeling the chilly weather around a misty atmosphere; these are the joys you have while traveling.

Dedicated team 

 Pink Vibgyor is a team, a help and assistance to travelling. Pink Vibgyor is a service dedicated exclusively to gay and lesbian travelers. Our team has awesome gay (or friendly) members who work hard to keep up to our fabulous guests. 

Value for money

In other words, we provide gay tours at straight price. Unlike others, we won't add unnecessary services to rip you off! We truly believe in value for money.

 

  

We can bend..... your itinerary

 Okay so this is one important reason why you should travel with us, we offer maximum flexibility in the itinerary. We realize that our clients are super moody and might want to take control over the tour and decide where he wants to go and we totally respect that and are thus adjustable.

Insight experience

 

Gay scene in India is too closeted in most of the cities and good parties and spas are hard to find but we know where to take you, be it a Thursday, Saturday or a Tuesday night. We also introduce you to the local guys of the cities you travel to for some more fun facts and places.

The right ingredient

A normal tour is made a gay tour by adding just the right components of gay friendly operators, hotels, restaurants (ofcourse with the best ratings!) , friendly guides , drivers etc. but overdoing it can make it cheesy. More than the right amount of gayness makes it too gay, which we don't... animate.

We can do it!

 

Our promises are not empty, give us a chance and we'll prove we will fulfill all your demands that  will make your tour to India a sweet memory!

PINK Vibgyor has a background of professionals with years of experience in travel industry and thus making a perfect tour isn't very difficult for us.

Negombo

   Negombo: an escape to beauty and                   serenity

What can be more relaxing and tempting than to have a laid-back holiday around sandy areas of beaches with sea-shores and the most enjoyable climate? Beaches have the unique quality of attractiveness that can mesmerize you; the windy atmosphere, the sounds of the sea shore, fishermen, ships and boats are all the attractive features that beaches possess. The beach of Negombo extends to far off with the stretching sands, almost seeming to end at a puzzling point. Along the coast, the beach continues to unfold its appeal showing off the beautifully bending palm trees; the trees seem to stand all concentrated as one. The beach going unquestionably quiet is only distracted by the occasional sounds of the rushing water. As you stand facing the beach, the water, simply clear washes your feet; you just feel the things surrounding you – everything is just tranquil.

Negumbo is ideally convenient as a place to reach, as the airport lies just at a distance of 10 km. Once you drive off from the airport to the city, you will easily find accommodations to stay, restaurants and places to just explore or hang around.

Most of the places in Negombo are filled with the remains of the colonization, starting from the Portuguese and Dutch houses to administrative buildings.

The Dutch fort is located on a narrow strip of land between a lagoon and an inlet of the sea. You will just find the ruins of the fort at the moment, but it brings a very interesting aspect of exploring the place more in a certain way. The main remnant is a standing structure, and the main gate gives entrance to a tunnel that opens into what was once the courtyard. The places in and around are fascinating to just look around and explore. Along the list, the churches in Negombo are other places of interest; St. Mary’s church with the ceiling frescoes is one place to be visited in this city. It’s been said that the church’s construction was started in 1874, completed after almost 50 years in 1922.

Other places to visit in Negombo include the very large fish market called ‘Lellama’ and Muthurajawela marshland. In Muthurajawela marshland, a

variety of mangroves and other types of flora like medicinal plants are found along with various types of birds, fish and butterflies.

Besides all these places of interest in Negombo, the city is all about the beaches - take a leisurely walk, sit back, relax, sun bath or take a dive; the beaches are what makes Negombo special.

What's that we want, Freedom!!

The 6th Delhi Queer Pride was hosted on 24th November and the streets of New Delhi was filled with the echo of a question, "Hume kya chahiye?" "Aazadi!!" - "What's that we (queers) want" "Freedom".
The freedom to be what we are, the freedom to love who we want without stigma and prejudice.
In spite of those prying eyes and intimidating stares, the LGBT members kept their head high and celebrated the pride at its best.

It was flabbergasting to see the number of attendants and supporters with some serious slogans in hands as well as some fun gay men in perky apparel.

The celebration was grand and cheerful. as gay as it could be. Drags and lipsticks danced cheerfully and the sassy dressed just perfect as Divas.
People in colourful costumes flaunting their sexuality marched towards Jantar Mantar. They danced to drum beats and shouted slogans like 'My mother thinks my girlfriend is a lesbian', 'fifty shades of gay' and 'Keep your laws off my body'.

Typically talking about India, it was a very relieving site to see the family supporting their gay boys and friends cheering their lesbian girl-friends. Though there are many of them who are to unleash the masks and even a lot many to come out of the denial and the community members and activists are really working for it. Gay guys are much more confident now than before and more cheerful.

Old Delhi and Jama Masjid

So, there are many things to do in Delhi; Delhi has many characteristics as a place, offers traditional aspects, delicious cuisines, nightlife and many places to see. Some of the places in Delhi look beautiful and remain charming ever.

Every few distance you travel in Delhi takes you to a different world where the scene and the lifestyle become very dissimilar from one another. As you see Delhi and gradually explore places, Old Delhi comes along at some point – locating at the heart of the city. Traveling to Old Delhi comes across with a lot of excitement, fun, and a

sense of alertness thinking of what you would see and do when you reach there. Old Delhi covers the areas of Chandni Chowk and Chawri Bazaar; you can reach there by the metro service or any other transportation. Your walks on the streets of Old Delhi will widen your eyes where you will see a kind of unfamiliar scene, as you will start thinking about the place deeper.  Rickshaw pullers, street foods, restaurants, hawkers and people come in numbers here – you will be amazed and thrilled at this time. Your day in Old Delhi will come with a price; looking around the massive and maddening bustle, walking on your feet, your exploration of Old Delhi will be without question laborious. But there is something about Old Delhi

that no one would deny – the essence, of olden times, nostalgia, and the beauty hidden under a surface that you can see gauzily. Trying to tell you stories, and unveil itself from the thin scarf, Old Delhi will show you some parts of its face, and amidst the scene inside the place you will hear a narration and feel a distraction. There are houses on the side of the streets that dates back to ages, some of the glasses of the doors and windows on the upper floor shining with sections of translucent green, blue and red. It does not come difficult to imagine Mughals residing there once.

At the beginning of the Chawri Bazaar road is the Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India. The area around Jama Masjid is covered with shops, people, noise and rush. Tall it stands you will see the minarets of the mosque from a distance. You will definitely want to see the inner area of the mosque, but there could also be a chance you would think of passing it – don’t do that.

The compound of the mosque spreads wide and big, and there stands the mosque – beautiful, massive and charming. Remove your shoes at the entrance of the mosque; this is the regulation given before you enter the mosque. Once you enter the compound of the mosque – there is it, right in front of your eyes. You will find people visiting the mosque for prayer or just hanging around – local people: family and friends, and travelers. The minarets of the mosque stands tall and just looking up in the sky and finding it there is a beautiful sight. Right across the opposite of the mosque in the compound leads to another passage, and from this spot you could see a panoramic view of the Red Fort. The courtyard of the mosque can hold up to twenty-five thousand worshippers where on every Friday noon, the masjid holds mass congregation prayers of muslims. Jama Masjid began its construction in 1650 and was completed in 1656, foundation taken by Shah Jahan.

If you are in Old Delhi, don’t leave the place without feeling delicious in your mouth. Known for flavorsome Mughlai cuisine, food is one of the souls of Old Delhi – numbers of food corners near Jama Masjid or anywhere 

around as restaurants or street shops. The food here is pretty much tempting with the aroma, texture and the delicacy when brought before you. Karim’s restaurant is located just by Jama Masjid and it is a famous restaurant particularly known for its delicate food and taste. The restaurant offers a menu with a variety of items, all delivering flavor and taste. History lies as a backdrop of the restaurant – it dates back to 1913.

Old Delhi is all about seeing, moving and experience; several other spots also lie in and around its areas like Red Fort, Mirza Ghalib’s haveli, Razia Sultan’s tomb, and Begum Samru’s palace which now stands as an old and weary building. Old Delhi is nothing but one of the rare places that you would find; with history and fascination it is an occasion - you will go back home with pictures and images in your head.
