Finally, nearly 8 months after our amazing trip to Sikkim, I decided to pen down this guide. I had written about snowfall in Sikkim and a couple of pieces about my favorite locations in Sikkim earlier. However, writing a detailed travel guide is a lot of hard work. Like most travel bloggers I was let […]
Yes, we did it. A Bangalore to Kolkata road trip covering 2000km in 3 days. The crazy duo topped their madness yet again and made this seemingly impossible one-way trip. Let me begin with a strong disclaimer. This is a travelogue where I share the story of our journey with you. In no way should […]
What an interesting title, I thought when I first found the book on Blogchatter Ebook Library. This was one of the first books that I downloaded to read, but somehow I managed to read it this week itself. This book by Payel Dutta, is an anthology of anecdotes from her travels around the world.

Gingee is an ancient fortified town located in Villupuram district in Tamil Nadu. It’s surrounded by three lofty citadels which you can explore on a day trip from Pondicherry. Rajagiri, Krishnagiri and Chandrayandurg […]
As we drove through the road with the sea on both sides, light showers in a hot sunny day added a spark to the surreal beauty of nature around. This was our trip to the ghost town of Dhanushkodi – one that made a permanent space in our minds for times to come. Here in […]

Agumbe Ghats in the dense rain forest located in the Shimoga district of Karnataka. Geologists call it the “Cherrapunji of the South”, owing to the heavy rainfall throughout the year. This ecological hotspot is not your usual tourist destination. But it’s raw natural beauty makes it one of my favorite offbeat places to visit in […]
