    Aside from intensely hummable songs and a desire to suddenly travel to Spain, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara also gave us a completely fresh perspective on bachelor and bachelorette parties. Raise your hands if the movie prompted you and your mates to form a pact to go on a wild adventure before one of you ties the knot.

    Adventure trips and once-in-a-lifetime experiences overtook the usual pub crawls and parties that we’ve usually come to associate with bachelor and bachelorette dos. One such adventure trip recently caught our attention and if you’re looking for an experience that you’ll never forget for a lifetime, have you considered travelling to the North Pole?

    When it comes to bachelor or bachelorette parties, the North Pole isn’t just off the beaten path—it’s on a whole new level. Often called “the last true wilderness on Earth,” the North Pole offers an extraordinary blend of adventure and extravagance, combining the thrill of survival with the allure of luxury. UK-based company Last Night Of Freedom, which specialises in bachelor and bachelorette parties, offers a chance to do just that and more. For £24,999 (INR 27,00,000 approx) per person, this 5-night Arctic adventure promises an unforgettable experience that will set your bachelor or bachelorette party apart from all others.

    The journey begins in Norway’s Longyearbyen, the northernmost town in the world. A private airport transfer ensures a seamless arrival, with a chauffeur ready to whisk you to your hotel. The adventure starts with a hearty three-course meal featuring Arctic specialities like reindeer and whales. It’s the perfect introduction to this icy wilderness, with a Polar Expedition guide previewing the journey ahead.

    Preparation is key in an environment where temperatures can plummet to -35°C. An expert-led gear check ensures you’re equipped for the icy challenges to come. A crash course in Arctic skiing follows, teaching you how to navigate the snow-covered terrain while pulling a sled filled with supplies. Even seasoned skiers will find this training invaluable as they prepare for the unique demands of polar exploration.

    The next leg of the adventure takes you to the Barneo Ice Station, accessible only via a 2.5-hour flight on an Antonov-74 aircraft. This temporary base, built on drifting Arctic ice, serves as your home for the next phase of the journey. Here, you’ll enjoy hot meals in heated tents while mingling with scientists, explorers, and fellow adventurers from around the globe.

    The pinnacle of the trip is the ski trek to the North Pole itself. A helicopter drops you just a few kilometres from your destination, where the true test begins. With skis strapped on and poles in hand, you can traverse ever-changing ice fields, navigate pressure ridges and open water under the guidance of experienced explorers and reach the actual top of the world!

    After camping overnight at the North Pole, you’ll return to Barneo for a celebratory feast of champagne and caviar. This traditional Arctic toast marks the end of your incredible journey before you head back to Longyearbyen. A final private transfer ensures a comfortable return to civilisation, with plenty of stories to share and a North Pole Diploma as a keepsake of your once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
