This is Gorakshep, the last stop before Everest Base Camp Trek in Nepal. And what a trek it was! It was at an altitude of 5149 m or 16860 feet. For me that is crazy high. My sleep and food both were messed up! But it was worth it all.

Doing Nothing at Joshimath
Have you ever wondered that it is really difficult to find a budget hotel in India that is clean? I am talking about 1500 rupees per night kind of places. They only come your way if someone recommended you a clean one. After my 10 hour of ride to Joshimath, I stayed at Kamet (name…
And I am Back from Valley of Flowers
From Valley of Flowers, I am back to the plains again! I trekked 50 kilometers in 4 days. Of course my pictures do no justice to the place. I was wondering what makes me walk 50 kilometers in 4 days, 25 of which was uphill. Of course the nature is part of the answer. But…
Walking Along Some Beautiful Paths
More commonly known as Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, I walked for a few hours before going the rickshaw way! This was in middle of nowhere at Jaisalmer Rajasthan.

Pictures from KL Bird Park, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
On my last day at Kuala Lumpur, I had an evening flight to catch. My original plan was to hang around the Petrona’s Twin Towers but I gave that up after a while. There were a lot of branded shops around and I didn’t had a ticket to go up. I had taken the metro…
Baiguney, Sikkim with Club Mahindra’s conCLAY
When I heard about a possible visit to Baiguney with Club Mahindra I was excited. I had been with them to Coorg before and it was a wonderful experience. Over email exchanges I tried to figure out the idea behind conCLAY. All I could gather was that they wanted us to share some of our…
I am Like a Broken Record- EBC EBC EBC EBC is all I can Really Say Even Now!
These days all I can think of is my trek to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal. Everyone talks about how difficult it is to reach Namche Bazaar but thus is what I thought after reaching Tengboche! “Gradually after the rest I stumbled across Tengboche and to my lodge. It took me six and a…
