Borobudur Temple at Sunrise, Indonesia
The originally suggested time of departure for our group to Borobudur (near Yogyakarta, Indonesia) was 3.30 am. I groaned loudly when I read that WhatsApp message. And then the members of our group argued for an even earlier start at 3.00 am because they wanted nice pictures of the sunrise! Have you ever met a…
Dolphin Watching and a Trip to Pigeon Island in Trincomalee, Sri Lakna
My Srilanka trip was in June 2016. Sometimes I feel what I can remember about a trip after 4-5 months is actually what the trip was about! I hardly take any notes on my trips. I reconstruct them more through the pictures I click. But I clearly remember the day when I went Dolphin watching…

Living in a Tree House at Wayand, Kerala with Pepper Trail
I have done three back to back trips recently Philippines, Indonesia and then living in a tree house at Wayanad, Kerala with the Pepper Trail.

Paraw Sailing at Sunset in Boracay, Philippines
I first read paraw sailing and thought it was a misprint for parasailing. But they are two distinct activities and both were there on my Boracay itinerary. Paraw Sailing at sunset in Boracay is a lot of fun. It was a first for me too. Our guide Jun made a lot of hue and cry…
Raja Ampat, Indonesia- This Must be Paradise
How does one even start describing a place like Raja Ampat? Words, and particularly mine, feel so inadequate! Pictures might do some justice but ever since I have come back, I am plotting to go back, either to Raja Ampat or Komodo, which I hear is even more beautiful. However, I refuse to believe that…
