“It’s amazing how life experiences, sometimes, leave a strong impression on us. They force us to change our lives forever,” I remember someone telling me once. And I happened to live that statement in 2015 after my first-ever solo trek from Gangotri to Gomukh. At that time I had no idea that I would soon quit my job to travel the world. As they say that life experiences aren’t something to be denied but to be celebrated, I think I happened to celebrate my experience so stro

Travelling alone has its own benefits. It gives you the control to plan your own itinerary and do what you want. Spending days in solitude also makes you more eager to chat with locals and team up with them to make your journey more interesting. And that is exactly what happened to me when I was on my solo Deo Tibba trek attempt. If you are new on this blog, I want to tell you that I am a full-time Indian travel blogger who quit his job in 2016 to travel the world. I have done many solo

I found Bhutan a rather charming and fascinating place. No matter how worldly and materialistic your approach towards life is, if you travel Bhutan with an open mind, their philosophical and idealistic culture would force you to contemplate on some of the most confusing questions concerning human existence. In Search of Happiness During my visit to Bhutan, and in search of happiness, I happened to spend a chilly evening with a couple of friends I met in Thimpu. They shared with me a uni

My solo travel in Bhutan is one of the most highlighted journeys I have ever had. For a period of nearly 20 days, I travelled over 5 cities, doing a big loop. I entered from Phuentsholing and exited from S. Jonghkhar to India. And it is not just me for whom travelling solo in Bhutan was a highlight. Not much is known of this country, and even less is heard about. And that’s what makes it a place to discover! Is It possible To Solo Travel In Bhutan? Many people find it hard to trave

It has been almost a year since I’ve been travelling (I quit my job last year in March 2015) after quitting my job and living like a nomad. A great many things have happened to me all this time. From meeting unknown friends to spending nights on slatted benches to hitchhiking on the world’s most dangerous roads – I went through it all. And in the process, I’ve learned many great life lessons. Travelling has allowed me to accept new cultures, new ideas, as I opened myse

But before I start with these Nongriat, Meghalaya photos, I want to add that I revisited this place in January 2021. I was startled to see how impacts of Overtourism has killed Nongriat, in Meghalaya, in addition to a few other places. Where last time I found local families there too welcoming and heart-warming to be true, this time they were too busy to even speak to. Kids were busy selling fake ‘natural honey’. The root-bridge was slowly dying. You can read more in this Nongriat Isn&

Before you read the original article, I want to tell you that I revisited Nongriat in January 2021 and was totally startled to see its state. The impact of overtourism has almost killed the place. Where last time I found local families in there too welcoming and heart-warming, this time they were too busy to even speak to. The root-bridge was slowly dying too. You can read about my recent visit to living root bridge in Nongriat. So don’t visit this place under any false impressio

Before I travelled to Shillong, I expected it to be one of those regular holiday destinations in India. I expected that the market there will be no different than Manali Mall Road. And that, it will be all crowded and confusing. Though it is true that it was crowded and confusing, there was more to it than just crowd and confusion. It turned out that in only a couple of hours I fell in love with this place. I loved its vibe, the local crowd, and the super cheap food. And because there w

These 16 Majuli Island photos are your complete doze of a virtual visit. But before we see these Majuli Island pictures, a little introduction, perhaps… My first sight of Majuli Island (as you see in the photos below) was on a humid afternoon in June. I took an 11:30 am morning ferry from Nimati Ghat in Jorhat to Majuli Island. As I got there, I saw wave upon waves of tourists pouring out of ferries, before they all took shared jeeps and buses and made their way deeper on the islan

Their names have escaped me now but I vividly remember that interesting and equally memorable conversation I had with a young Indian couple from the Fort Kochi, in South India. I was waiting for my appointment with an immigration officer in Thimpu — to extend my tourist permit while backpacking in Bhutan when all of a sudden this distinguishably affable couple appeared in front of me. Our conversation started with one of those moments when you meet another traveller from your home count

Ever tried hitchhiking in India? I once did it from Leh to Srinagar and it was a wonderful experience. Contrary to what most people think, it is easy to hitchhike in India. People in India are moreover very helpful, especially in mountains, so finding lifts in India is often no problem. I have always loved hitchhiking in India, and this is for two reasons: one, it makes my journeys cheaper; and two, it allows me to meet some of the most helpful and interesting people out there. For examp

I remember the first time I travelled on my own, I had no intention of doing it. I was desperately looking for a partner – calling, texting everyone I knew, hoping someone would tag along. But I found no one. It seemed everyone was busy sorting out their lives, or perhaps saving their holiday to celebrate the new year at the crowded beaches of Goa. To hell with, I had to leave alone. And I think it was the best thing that happened to me. No, I am not saying it out of ego. I am saying i

What’s that one thing that curbs people from travelling? The near-universal answer… Money! I mean, why would anyone want to spend their life sitting in a cubicle or attending boring corporate meetings when they can rather travel and explore the beauty of this world. It is because of money. People think they cannot travel if they don’t have regular money inflow. Though it’s a different story that most people don’t accept it and end up saying, or perhaps believing, that i
