Darjeeling, the queen of the hills, was a place I wished to visit since childhood. I finally visited this beauty in 2017. The hills didn’t disappoint me. Though we rushed through the main sightseeing points between intermittent spells of rain, what was great about the weather was how unpredictable it was. So, while on a…

Assam can truly be termed a nature lover’s paradise! We stayed at a government forest lodge named “Aranya.” We spent our last day of the year (December 31) at the Kaziranga national park and clicked the last sunset of the year at the park. The safari ride wasn’t too exciting, till we spotted what we…

Meghalaya was a treat I will never forget. I literally walked over the clouds and into them. It is a photographer’s paradise. Lush green forests, spotless villages, spellbinding waterfalls, and all of this enveloped by clouds. The best part of the trip was Dawki, the village bordering Bangladesh, with the crystal-clear Umngot River. The living…

Here’s a glimpse of one of my most favourite trips. This was a trip to Pondicherry, made memorable by good food, great friends, and awesome locales! I will remember it for many reasons: shopping for soaps and marble-print stoles, gorging on Creole cuisine, chilling out on the beach, and strolling through the quaint French town….

Since blogs are quite a handful at times, and since many of my friends aren’t big readers, I have decided to post some of my best photos from my trips over the years, from time to time. I will, however, be writing regular blogs on the long trips that I make every now and then….

Nepal happened out of the blue! I was hungry for another country (after my visit to Bhutan last year), and Nepal just happened to be the easiest option available from my hometown, Kolkata. In fact, Nepal does not even feel like a different country. No passport or visa is required to visit the country from…

Hampi was on my wish-list since a long time, long before it managed to grab the 2nd spot on ‘The New York Times Must-See Global Destinations of 2019’ list. However, I will not deny the fact that the ‘NY Times’ declaration definitely reminded me that I should check this destination off my list before it…

I have two major hobbies: travelling and writing about travel. However, of late, I have started enjoying reading about travel, too. A casual search on easy road trips around Bangalore led me to an LBB post featuring a write-up on a beautiful tree house homestay just off Sarjapur and about a 45-minute drive away from…

A new year brings with it new hopes and wishes. My only wish this year, however, is to travel and explore as many new places as I can. My new year’s day, too, began with a short day-trip to a nearby hamlet known as Anthargange, located in Kolar, Karnataka. One of my college friends, her…

Bhutan happened to me out of the blue! Having been vacay-deprived for a long time, I was hungry for a moderately long vacation to some exotic place I had never been before, preferably on the other side of the Indian border. Eventually, I was to make a choice between Sri Lanka and Bhutan. While Sri…
