Mesmerising Switzerland

No wonder so many Indian movies are shot in Switzerland, the place sure has breathtaking beauty! Most of you would know what to expect when you go there, we've already seen it enough in movies, not to forget in 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' which may be one of the best marketing the country could have asked for! 


AtJungfrau, the highest point of Europe, all you see is Indians. And the starting point for the cable car, a small village between two lakes, called 'Interlaken', is sometimes dubbed 'Indialaken':) So I can't understate the popularity of this place amongst Indians. And believe me, you get what you expect for or maybe more there.

Geneva was where we landed from London. The city has two attractions, banks and watches! You see clocks installed everywhere within the city (is actually quite a funny sight)! And the second thing you see everywhere are the bank billboards. We cycled a bit in Geneva, next to the lake. Nice cycling track,and this small part of the street is fasinating.The plan was to cycle upto Lausanne, but that never happened. Instead, we drove up to Interlaken. The drive is scenic, green hills, blue skies, lakes, and the typical quintessential small wooden houses.

Interlaken is a small village between two lakes, and the youth hostel there is a recommended place to stay. Food may be tough to find, if you land up late, the only vegetarian option left for you may be bread and butter:) There are couple of adventure sports options there: canyon jumping and sky diving among them the most interesting.You can take the cable car to Jungfrau, we didn't do that, so dunno what the expect.

and this is where we jumped into the canyon from...)











Most girls would understand this and guys wont, but if you can buy the cowbell that has been made famous by the movie DDLJ, its sweet, and a good hang for your door when you are back, believe me:)
