These mountain quotes are going to instil in you the love for climbing mountains and travelling them.

And then, in just a matter of a few minutes, it gave a […]

Plan the Ultimate Backpacking Trip Across Canada! This guide is loaded with tips on how to traverse this massive and diverse country on a budget. I traveled for three months from the colorful West to the East’s sweet towns, and I cannot wait to tell you what you should consider doing or not doing in

The first time I travelled from Delhi to Chitkul was 4 years ago. I was on a 9-day solo Delhi to Spiti Valley motorbike trip. My recent trip, on the other hand, took place in August 2019. On this trip, I was travelling with a friend and we were travelling from Delhi to Chitkul by

If Dawki River is one of Meghalaya’s top tourist destinations and Meghalaya is proud of it, then let’s be honest, tourism in Meghalaya is going in wrong direction! Like most tourists, my original fascination with visiting the Dawki River was also quite obvious. I was riveted by those Instagram photos with a boat floating above

The very process of how to plan a Europe trip from India can feel daunting. From applying for visas to shortlisting destinations to following a strict budget, there is a lot to plan. When I was thinking of my first-ever backpacking trip to Europe, I was quite doubtful too. I had limited money and was

Update March 2025: To my surprise, Sajla water has become very popular of late. There are Maggi shops right in the waterfall area. Earlier, it used to be just pure nature.  The first time I visited the place, in 2021, I spent about an hour there without seeing a face, but this time, as I
