If heaven is anywhere beyond kashmir - its there!!!!!

Hey guys and gals,

Well Kashmir we all know is the most beautiful place on earth. But, due to our dear neighbours has been toiling in blood and gore and violence - so much so - that kids are now not even aware of the beauty of Kashmir and are only concerned about PoK and the border clashes etc. Our generation even may not have even visited Kashmir (apart from Jammu and Vaishno Devi) as an adoloscent.

In any case, my article is not about the troubles of Kashmir, but of this amazing place I had good fortune of visiting. Its called Tanjhung Rhu and its located in Langkawi (Malaysia). Wow - it is the most amazing resort that you can conjour up in your head.

All rooms are mini-suites - the one I stayed had an amazing bed at a raised level, a sunken sitting area. And best of all the sitting area had window shutters to open into the Bath area - with a beautiful and large bath tub.

The experience is amazing. They take care of little details. For example, I had a slight cold (terrible considering I could not savour any of the good wines they were offering) and wanted room temperature water. Now in Malaysia - they know two types of water - hot and cold. Water at room temperature eludes them. In any case after several iterations they got it right. That was the first meal. After that at each meal - I would get my room temperature water at any of the resort's restaurants without even mentioning it!!!!

The view is breathtaking. It resides amongst 100 acres of lush green forest. they have a beautiful beach shaped like a crescent. Its white and the water is blue and very clean. At low-tides - you could walk around 500 meters into the sea. The experience is amazing.

And if you are like me who enjoys a glass of wine with a good cigar and some music - lie around in the deck facing the RHU - oh it is breathtaking.

Anyways - no words can describe it - go see it yourself.

However, this comes at a hefty price which promises to blow a hole in the pocket. Thats why the Indian travel agents do not know of this wonderful resort.

Hope you guys make it there and enjoy it as much as I did.

Cheers

Piyush
