List five things you do for fun.

Daily Writing Prompt

I quite like WordPress’s daily writing prompt that came up on my home page. I’ll get straight to the prompt topic before I get distracted (as I usually do and start writing about something entirely off-topic) and so here’s a list of five things that I do for fun.

The Timeless Beauty Of The Himalayan Hamlet Of Nako

Tucked away amidst the rows of dusty brown mountains of the Himalayan ranges, is the hidden hamlet of Nako – a timeless beauty. Perched at an elevation of about 12000 ft, this rustic village is located in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. The tiny village is situated at a surreal location in the trans-Himalayan region, close to the Indo-China border. Its remote location makes it less-visited but absolutely rewarding.

Up Close: Watching Asian Koel

Koel, a member of the cuckoo family, is commonly sighted in India. Having heard their melodious sound/calls since childhood, I wouldn’t pay too much attention to these birds (I confess) until I started appreciating nature more than I used to and also as I developed some interest in ornithology after coming across too many interesting birds on my travels.

Travelogue – 24 Hours in Amritsar

More often than not, we plan a perfect itinerary for our travels, spending enough time to detail out the routes, places to visit, accommodation, ticket bookings, etc. All this is to ensure a hassle free travel, surely. But sometimes fate is up to a mischief; we overlook a trivial detail and are up for something we didn’t plan.
