As travelling the world is my passion and especially exploring new places is an art but if you are visiting Europe then definitely you can't afford to miss Switzerland. If you are planning to head for any Euro trip it's a must to include Switzerland in your travel bucket because it's amazing snow-capped alps, landscapes and turquoise lakes will give you an excellent charm and beauty of that place. Well, my Euro trip started in August 2018 with 2N/3D days in London and another 2N/3D day in Paris but after covering London and Paris we headed towards Switzerland by travelling towards Zug. Though a 15 day Europe trip requires 2.5 Lacs per person if you are only visiting Switzerland for 1 Week then the estimated budget can be more than 1 Lac for a single person. But I preferred a combined Euro tour as I wanted to cover other countries too including Switzerland.

What made me fall in love with Switzerland?
While travelling from Zug to Interlaken I saw the scenic view of landscapes with the amazing view of the brook passing between the valleys which made my heart melted towards Switzerland. The train journey from Interlaken to Jungfrau made me saw an enchanting view of snow-covered swiss alps with dark clouds which made me feel so relaxed and it also erased my body stress making me feel more energetic. All these made me a fan of this place and attracted me to come again more and more.

Places Visited By Me:
1) Interlaken: It's the most amazing place in Switzerland with some beautiful parks covered by big trees and fountains though this place is the most beautiful place in Switzerland with a very limited population. This place is known for Bollywood movies shooting and it's a hot spot for the DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge) movie shooting you can see Shahrukh Khan and Kajol posters in the shooting hotspots there. This factor made more excited to visit this place as I wanted to see the places where DDLJ was shot.

2) Interlaken -Bern-Jungfrau Rail Journey: this rail journey was the most amazing the amazing experience as the cogwheel train covered beautiful places like Bern which had the most picturesque view of the snow-covered swiss alps with dark clouds, droplets of rain and hail this made the train journey more enjoyable and refreshing. The train finally dropped us at Jungfrau top of Europe station which is the highest station in Europe with an altitude of 3466 Mtrs which is highest in Europe. The Jungfrau railway line was built way back in the late 19th century.

3) Jungfrau Top Of Europe: It's the highest point of Europe with an altitude of 3466 Mtrs with an average temperature of -7 degrees throughout the year. This entire place is covered with snow-capped glaciers. Even in the month of August which is the summer month the temperature was below -2. It has amazing places like the Ice palace where the entire sculptures and even the floor is made of Ice. Jungfrau has also got places like snow park where you can enjoy skiing. There is also a place called Alpine sensation where you can see the sacrifices made by the people while constructing the Jungfrau rail. You can also view the great Aletsch glacier from Jungfrau which was the most unique experience for me that I'll cherish for a lifetime. This place has also got an awesome chocolate shop where you can buy mouth-watering Swiss chocolates which are manufactured here only.

4) Mount Titlis: Then after returning back to Zug we visited Engelberg which is famous for another peak called mount Titlis which is located at an altitude of 3238 Mtrs above sea level we entered mount Titlis through ropeway from Engelberg. This place is somewhat similar to Jungfrau which is covered with snow throughout the year. You can view the amazing Swiss alps here this place has also got a very big snow park where you can have fun with snow or enjoy skiing with snow dance which is damn fun.

Then finally the after Mount Titlis we moved towards Luzern for some shopping and viewed the beautiful Luzern lake there and from Luzern, we went to Innsbruck in Austria for our stay in Austria. But these 3 days stay in Switzerland gave me a lot of memories which I'll cherish it for a lifetime. As a travel blogger if you are planning to visit Europe then you really can't afford to miss "heaven on earth" Switzerland. The entire Euro trip is incomplete without Switzerland.
