Where is the best place to watch the sunset near you?

January 31, 2023 / Srishty / 5 Comments

I signed up for Bloganuary sometime ago, not knowing how the prompts are going to be so much about questioning your existence. Haha! This is why I avoided writing a post on Bloganuary prompts until now, but here’s one that’s quite tangible while also being subjective.

Who doesn’t love watching sunsets? I am no different, but I should also mention that I am no chaser of it. Hence, I won’t say that I have a list of best sunsets, but I would like to dedicate this post to all the sunsets that I have been blessed to witness. 🙂

I would mention a few that I can think of from the top of my mind.

Starting with the National Capital Region of Delhi, where I live (well, Gurgaon), albeit its a pollution laden one I cannot help but find romance in the Delhi evenings. There are a lot of greens around and in a city with so much busyness, it still is a relatively calm time if you are not stuck in traffic, of course. If you are part of the office traffic, then f*ck your life. Sorry, but no sunset can make that day better. 😀

Focusing on different sunsets that I have witnessed, I am reminiscing about sunsets from the beaches of Goa, nothing comes close to how beautiful beach sunsets are. Funnily, I am a mountain person and I can’t recall a mountain sunset as a standout. I am not sure why that is and I feel like a fraud (like I have ditched mountains or something). Just for the record, I have also been to the Andamans, but the beach sunsets standing out for me are still from Goa. Maybe, I wasn’t at a beach during sunset in the Andamans.

I also want to mention those “sunset points” in tourist places like from the forts in Rajasthan. They might not be serene like beach sunsets, but they are picture perfect beautiful.

Typing about this made me remember that Kutch Rann sunset, I mean, can you imagine a white desert all around you and a sun setting there? Linking my post here on my visit to the white desert of Kutch.

Found a mountain sunset while searching for images, I am not a fraud after all 🙂
Found another gorgeous sunset among my images, the bridge next to my home in Berlin 🙂 oh man, why did I not think of this!

A special shoutout to another “sunset point” since its from a special trip. Rahul and I started our wedding prep with a mindset that we are not going to plan a honeymoon since a) we were too involved in our wedding prep so didn’t want to take up an additional planning activity (its quite common for people in India to leave wedding prep to their families), b) we had taken multiple trips together already, a whole lot of Europe covered together already :). However, as the wedding drew closer, we decided to plan a getaway to Seychelles and right before booking the tickets, our travel agent made us notice that Rahul’s passport was expiring. 🙂 Hence, we changed that plan to a small (really tiny actually) hill station in Gujarat, Saputara. It was a very regular chill place to be, nothing out of this world, but since it was technically our honeymoon, I think the “sunset point” we hiked to deserves a mention. 🙂

What are some of the gorgeous sunsets you have seen?

Visiting my husband at Google office, Ggn
Nothing like logging my meals, these are mostly dinners. Some are from months ago:
#throwback to Nainital
I'll keep doing Banaras reels till I can
Shaadi content
Jim Corbett
Sights from the ancient, holy city of Banaras || महादेव की नगरी काशी
Jasmine tea, some weirdly tasty coconut rice, an American diner to accommodate international visitors🤣 and loads of cribbing about work😇
My Banaras Food Diary: When anyone asks me about Banaras (or sometimes even when no one's asking), I just love to tell people how good the cafes were. I don't think i had even a single meal that was below average or that was not unique in its own way. Here's all the places i ate at:
