Costs & Budget

3 lacs (excluding flights and hotel stay)

Daily Budget (approx)
100 euros daily

Major Expenses

• Flights: Booked Lufthansa First Class from NYC to Berlin via Frankfurt
• Stay: Grand Hyatt Berlin & Mandala Hotel in Potsdamer Platz
• Food & drinks: Local foods
• Activities / entry tickets: Museums, Flying Planes, Biking, Bus Tour, Berlin Wall, Boat ride

Accommodation
Stayed at Grand Hyatt Berlin - approximately 100 euros daily rate
Definitely good hotel and great breakfast (huge fan of their french toast)

Stayed at Mandala Hotel - approximately 700 euros daily rate
Boutique hotel compared Grand Hyatt, spacious and cozy - I rented their top suite for a week which was expensive compared to Berlin average.

Transport
I rented Mercedes car but parking was nightmare for a week. Finally, I gave up and started using bike and train. Used uber on going on dates or night out.

Food & Experiences

• Currywurst and döner are a must - simple but iconic
• Flew Plane over Berlin city to add hours for my PPL, instructor was great
• Tried a few cafés in Mitte, great coffee culture
• Amazing indian food at local restaurants - shout out to "Amrit"
• Berlin is huge on Museum and Arts
• Berlin nightlife is on another level if you’re into that (clubs run till morning)
• Walking around the city itself feels like an experience - history everywhere

Overall Thoughts
Berlin feels very different from typical European cities - less polished, more raw and expressive. If you like history, culture, and a bit of chaos, it’s 100% worth it solo.

Happy Travels! ✈️

I booked solo trip to experience Mountain Climbing and Trolltunga rock (bucketlist for decade). I booked climbing with guide using company - https://www.trolltunga-active.com

Landed in Bergen airport (west norway) via London, rented SUV car and had lunch in downtown + scenery before heading towards Odda. I spent first night in Odda by one of prettiest Lake Cabin, followed by early reporting to base at 7am.

What followed was experience which I'll never forget in my life - climbed 3000 ft mountain via Ferrata and gears / ropes. Whole thing took 12 hours toll on body in cold snow and dark. This one tested me mentally and physically, but am glad I survived to tell this story!

Enjoy pics from my experience!

I got into IV drips and peptides since last 3 years along with gym - makes great combo to stay on top of your health before fat and old age creeps on.

Your 30s are when your body quietly begins to shift - growth hormone drops, collagen production slows, recovery takes longer, and low-grade inflammation starts building. Peptides work by signaling your body to do what it used to do naturally - repair tissue faster, produce more growth hormone, rebuild collagen, and protect cells from aging. Starting in your 30s means you're working with a system that's still responsive, making it the ideal window to maintain your baseline rather than play catch-up later.

Anyone else into IV drips and Peptides here?

I (US citizen) booked solo trips to meet my friends in different cities (born & brought up in India). I been doing solo trips all around US, South America and Europe but this was my first time in India 🇮🇳

Mumbai to Delhi on private jet 🛩️ Beechcraft King Air B200.

My friend lives in Delhi who helped me tour around Noida, Gurgaon, and Delhi. Also met lots of friends in Delhi.

Then jumped to private jet 🛩️ Falcon 2000 towards Bangalore and landed at HAL airport. Stayed at Conrad hotel in Indiranagar - enjoyed company of friends for couple nights before traveling to Tirupati via car 🚘

I booked VIP Break Darshan via Travel agent which was easy n breeze.

Looking forward to more trips in India 🇮🇳

Mine is Lamborghini Aventador!

Also, if someone could identify exact model of my Rolls Royce in first picture - I’ll send you cash price of 500 INR to first person - Let’s go!

End up going to Tirupati for VIP Darshan 🙏
