People and Places, Zanskar

The incredible people of Ladakh, helping and guiding us to safely wade through the intimidating Zanskar River. Frozen during the winter, the river used to be the only means of connecting the valley people of remote Zanskar Valley with the rest of Ladakh.

George Everest House Near Mussoorie

It was a beautiful morning that made me want to hike to some place but not too far, as I had a bus to catch that would take me back to Dehradun that evening. I ate a good breakfast, packed a small, light, day bag and set off to visit Sir George Everest House.

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.

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.

Monsoon Travel to the Royal Town Of Rajpipla in Gujarat

I thoroughly enjoy travelling to offbeat places. There’s isn’t much said or known about such places which adds to thrill of exploring a new land without any preconceived ideas or notions.  It’s like sailing into the uncharted waters, but you need to have an open mind to travel to the lesser known places for they might or might not turn out to be what you expect.

Mornings in the Mountains

This is how mornings in the Himalayan mountains look like. This is how the views outside your tent look like when you step out of it, after spending a night of nonstop snowfall, in the middle of nowhere (quite literally) oblivious to the gorgeous peaks and glaciers all around you.

Dhanushkodi – The Ghost Town of India

I was very young when my parents along with some family friends had planned a visit to South India. Until then I had only seen that part of the country on maps. And of course, I had no idea then that I would eventually move for studies & work (& live – it’s been a decade now) in one of the cities down south.
