Swing right from Solan town in Himachal Pradesh and take the temperamentally winding road to Dakpathar near the Asan barrage. You will come across a cluster of dhabas that sell chicken curry, delectable enough to make any city chef turn green. There is a break in the road, and a narrow crooked path steeply tumbles down from the ridge where the eateries are, down a broken elevation that debouches on a flat stretch of land nurtured by the Yamuna.
Spend time with rabbits, horses, frogs, birds and even tigers!
Animal lovers of Singapore, gather up! There’s a saying by French poet Anatole France that goes, “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”
We couldn’t agree more! There’s just something about animals that warms the heart and evokes feelings of sentimentality and love. They inspire compassion, loyalty and contentment, and are just your all round happy pill!
If you have a pet, shower your love on it and give it extra dollops of hugs and smooches. If you don’t, here are some spots you can visit to interact with animals. (Want to do more? Consider volunteering at these worthy animal welfare organizations .)

You might be wondering, ‘Why are there admission fees to Sentosa? It’s not a park or attraction per se?’ Well, think of it this way — this entrance fee includes all the monorail, bus and beach shuttle rides that you will likely use to get around the island.
For those looking for ways to save on entrance fees, you’ll be glad to hear that to encourage more visitors to the island, Sentosa has waived entrance fees regardless of your chosen method of entry from now till March 31, 2021 — more reason to start planning a beach day.

Scientists carrying out investigative work on honey have revealed crucial data about the feeding habits of honeybees. There has been a considerable shift in wildflowers available to the pollinators.

Researchers made use of genetic tools to determine which particular plants the honeybees visited in the rural regions. This was compared with a specific study conducted in 1952, and the big shifts observed were significant.
White Clover Disappearing Fast, Honeybees Seek Alternatives
In the 1950s, the pollinators principally gathered nectar and pollen from white clover. But today, white clover is one of the plants facing extinction. For this reason, the honeybees seek alternatives such as Himalayan balsam and oilseed rape.
