I am an intrepid traveller. Travelling has been my passion since school days. Hailing from the steel city of Rourkela in Odisha, I always had an opportunity to plan out my holidays with my family to exotic destinations that are rich in history and heritage in India. Looking back, I have also taken up trekking in Chauragarh hills of Pachmarhi, Shatrunjaya Hills of Palitana, Vaishno Devi or the Muktinath temple in Mustang Valley in Nepal and Lalang Waterfall in rainforests of Tioman Island in Malaysia. I have penned down the Odisha destinations in Pick2Move-India Travel planner brought out by Sampan Media Limited, New Delhi. I have compiled a travelogue themed- “Journeys across India” published by Best Books, Kolkata. I generally take up travel to pen down travelogues, know the art and craft of the faraway lands and of course, I do travel reporting for leading English dailies of India.

Lexis Hibiscus Port Dickson


Redefining luxury in South-East Asia

A magnificent, one-of-a-kind luxury property on the Straits of Malacca is quite unbelievable. I happened to visit the property sometime in April, this year and I was completely bowled over indulging in the world of luxury at Lexis Hibsicus Port Dickson snuggled on Pasir Panjang beach in the coastal region of Negeri Sembilan. Opened in 2015 from the house of indigenous Malaysian hospitality brand- Lexis, the property is shaped in the form of Hibiscus flower and in contemporary times has set a new benchmark in the world of luxury with the largest number of water villas and swimming pools.

An hour drive from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) brought us to Lexis Hibiscus that is easily accessible by North-South Expressway. On reaching the property, we were taken away by the picture-postcard views of ocean-front villas stretching out from the beach for over a kilometre to the sea. There are glitzy interiors, fine-dining restaurants, luxury suites, spa and outdoor entertainment areas.

  The iconic property boasts of about 639 pool villas and 552 sea water villas, each of these pride in having its own swimming pool and steam room that form the USP of the hospitality group. The hotel has added another feather to its cap by having glass panel on the floor of each room that provides views of underground marine life.

The luxury haunt has six food outlets- Roselle Coffee House, Umi Japanese restaurant, Horizon Deck, Wave Dining, Coralz Bistro and Captain Lounge.  There are a host of adventure activities on the beach like kayaking, boat riding and water skiing.  The property has its own heliport and offers cruise on the Straits of Malacca.
