I can spend hours next to a dried up river bed. In this case it was only a part of the river that revealed such stones. I am sure during the monsoons all this and much more would be under water. But I love to look at the rocks and pebbles and the stones, so…

Pied Bushchat at Kaudiala
A Pied Bushchat that I clicked at Kaudiala near Rishikesh. I am going to be in the region again. And got such short notice that I have no time to even schedule posts.

The Ganges at Devprayag
I have more than once traveled from Rishikesh to Joshimath and beyond. And I would always marvel at the river going along the road.

The Laptop is at the Office!
Hence can’t upload pictures. I was at Kaudiala again. Did rafting on two days. Did cliff jumping too! Had a lot of fun and now bone tired, but happy and as I took off for a day I have recovered well. Lots of stories to share in the days to come.

Yumthang Valley: Sikkim, We Booked the Tour at Gangtok I sometimes get email queries for information on Ladakh or Sikkim. The most frequently asked question is: “Can you recommend a good travel agent to book the tour through?” The problem is we travel almost like backpackers in India (my blog posts are a testimony to…
