Ravishing Revelstoke, British Columbia


My husband, Manoj graduated from Revelstoke High school and during our courtship he use to talk a lot about his years spent in Revelstoke. I was quite eager to visit this town and last year i got this opportunity to spend some days in Revelstoke. I found this town simply ravishing. Set amidst mountain ranges Monashee and Selkirk ,this town is skier's paradise. Railway museum of Revelstoke is one of its kind. The town also offers variety of adventure sports like Hiking, mountain biking, rowing, snowmobiling, river rafting. However,what i enjoyed most was my stay at Canyon motor Inn and visit to BC Hydro's Revelstoke Dam, one of North America's largest and most modern hydro-electric dam. Columbia river running through the town provides such a tranquility to the soul that you feel like visiting the town again and again.

Picturesque Penticton, British Columbia


One of my favourite places in British Columbia's Okanagon valley is Penticton. It's a nice little peaceful town with spectacular natural beauty. It is cradled between lake Okanagan and Skaha. Before I visited this lovely place, I thought it to be a sleepy little town but to my surprise Penticton had a lot to offer in terms of tourism and activities like golfing , hiking , mountain biking, scooter rides, fun water activities etc. You can rent vacation homes, condos, cottages or ready to stay RV's and enjoy serene beauty of Penticton. If you happen to visit Penticton in summers then you can relax lying by the beach and reading a book, eating an icecream, having a picnic, simply sunbathing , playing games with friends and family like beach volleyball, or gaze up at the clear blue skies and take an afternoon nap. One of my favourite places for lunch in Penticton is Saltys beach house, which is a caribbean style restaurant with some mouth watering dishes . If you are looking for a place to escape from craziness of busy daily lives then consider visiting Penticton.

Beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia

It's almost been a year since I have been living in Kelowna and I am completly in love with this beautiful small urban city with a population of about 105,000. If you are a nature lover, I can guarantee that you will love this city. The beauty of Kelowna British Columbia is absolutely enchanting because it is surrounded by green forested mountains merging with lush orchards, vineyards, and golf courses overlooking the sparkling waters of 82 mile long Lake Okanagan. Downtown Kelowna has lot to offer, from fine dining to quiet walk by lake. If you are looking to shop i will suggest Orchard Park mall although Kelowna doesn't offer much in terms of shopping. Kelowna does have some cool restaurants like Moxies, WhiteSpot, Bouchons Bistro, East Side Marios etc. If you want some tongue tickling East Indian food go to Daawat or Chutney. The best place for vegetarian Chinese food is Lake Tai. If you like golfing you will enjoy playing golf at the lovely golf courses that Kelowna has to offer. My favourite is the Harvest golf club. All in all Kelowna is one of the most mesmerising and peaceful cities in the Okanagan. If you are fed up with fast and stressful big city life then come to Kelowna.
