So this is my bucket list of Travel
The places in this picture are, Manali, Paris, Uttarakhand, Mathura and Jaipur. I love these places in which I never go for any foreign trip but I have a dream to go to Paris once in my life. Let's begin one by one each place.

It is a dream destination for everyone in India during Winter. There are many places to visit in Manali like Hidimba Devi Temple, Sholang Valley, Mall Road, Rohtang Pass, The Great Himalayan national park etc. These places are famous for trekking, paragliding, snowboarding, wildlife spotting, worshiping and many more adventures. Manali is like heaven in winter, so beautiful and adventure place, must visit.
moving to next place......

I have a dream to go to Paris once in my life, I am mad about this place and this is always in my bucket list from many years. Maybe my dream comes true soon, I never had a foreign trip but if I have a chance then I'll choose to go here without any confusion.
The Eiffel Tower, it is the sign of love, romance and art. Whenever I see this tower in movies, my heart melt for it. I have few knowledge about it. So it is 1083 ft. tall and designed by Gustave Eiffel. The best time to visit this tower is Early morning and late evenings for perfect view.
This is all, I know about the Eiffel Tower. If anyone has some knowledge about this then please share with me.

This is the place where I found peace, I visited here many times and this is still in my bucket list for every year. Kusum Sarovar is situated in Mathura (Govardhan), Uttar Pradesh and this is a very beautiful place to visit. It is the place of where the Lord Krishna born and it is the place where Goddess Radha & God Shri Krishna spent time together. So this can be called the symbol of love. I love to visit here because this is a spiritual place and gives me peace. The best time to visit here, early morning and late evening. But I can sit here full day. People visit this place for peace, photography like Pre-wedding photoshoot, film-shooting, etc.

This is the place of Lord Shiva, in Uttarakhand. It is one of the holiest shrines in India, a destination that blends spirituality and natural beauty of mountains. This is a hilly area which attracts thousands of devotees and adventurers every year. The time to visit this temple: May to June & September to October. Avoid the monsoon months like July-August due to heavy rainfall and potential landslides.
I put it in my bucket list because I am a devotee of Lord Shiva, I wish to experience the nature and want the blessings of Lord Shiva by seeing his "Jyotirlinga". I will plan to go here in October, the best time to visit.

This is the last place in my bucket list for 2025, I visited Jaipur in July, 2023 and this was the best time I ever enjoyed. I loved this place and want to visit again not only Hawa Mahal but the whole Jaipur also.
Jaipur is called Pink City and I loved the Rajasthani food, last time I ate the Rajasthani thali and I loved it, so the places and foods attract me to visit here. Now I want to share some information about Hawa Mahal, there is a lots of windows in this palace. There are 953 small windows which is called 'Jharokhas', which allow air to flow freely. This palace is built in the fusion of Rajput and Mughal architectural style.
This palace is built for the queens of Maharajas, they saw their husbands from the Jharokhas when the Maharajas win the battle. So this is all about I know about this palace.
So these are the five place in my bucket list for 2025. In which only Paris will be forwarded for next year or maybe I have chance to visit there. I suggested to all the people, visit these places once and you loved it.
I described all the places according to my preference and it is not intended to hurt any religion and caste. I did not want any criticism or disrespect of any kind for anyone. Some images are the original images shot by me and rest pictures are from sources which I have mentioned.
I would like to invite my friends @arjuskrwr @shivijadon @divyanshi to participate in this contest and support me.
I hope you will like my entry and Thank you so much for visiting here!
Thank you @damithudaya once again for this contest.
Thank you very much for your participation!
You have chosen many wonderful destinations. India is known for its natural beauty and marvelous creations. I have read about Manali, and Hawa Mahal, Jaipur, and thank you for sharing a good idea about the other places as well. You have structured your plans very realistically, and Paris may be also possible, right? Who knows?
I hope you can achieve your travel goals pretty soon! Good Luck!
Thank you so much.
Yes, you are right. It may be possible and I hope it comes true soon.
I don't know why this user mentioned steemcurator. While posting, whether new or old, there's a law that govern this system, you can invite your friends to participate, not by tagging curators. Please take note. Secondly, you did not follow the markdown styling guide, the alignment of your post is not well recognized. I can't even predict if it's center, left, right or justify alignment that you used. When posting next time, try to use any of this alignment, it makes your work to look good.
I love the way you narrate your explorations.
You talked about this Jaipur is called Pink City and I loved the Rajasthani food. Can you please explain what Rajasthani food is all about. Mostly for me, a typical Nigeria that wants to build interest in this. Thanks.
Sorry for that, I don't have any idea about not to mention the steemcurator,it was unintentional. I apologise for that. I also appreciate you for your suggestion. I will pay fully attention to the format of my post to ensure they meet the required standard in future.
Thank you for your guidance and support.
There is a category in Rajasthani food like Dal Bati Churma(this is the signature dish of Rajasthan): Wheat baked balls(Bati) with Lentils curry(Dal) and sweet crumbled wheat(churma)
Gatte ki Sabzi is like gram flour dumplings put in yogurt-curry.
Rajasthani Kadhi: This is tangy in flavour with gram flour dumplings.
Bajra Roti like Millet flatbread and Garlic Chutney.
Mostly they use spices and garlic in each dish.
The food is really delicious. And it is not only just about taste but it reflects the hospitality and tradition of the state. If you ever get the chance to visit India, You should try Rajasthani Cuisine once and I am damn sure, you won't regret it.
I hope this clears things up.
Thanks
