Delhi feels like Palampur right now! I remember how cold it was at Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. If you take out the view, NCR feels like it right now! And there are so many people without warm clothes. What do you think of the various drives for collecting warm clothes? Or do you prefer to…

Chokling Monastery Prayer at Bir, Himachal Pradesh
In December I was traveling solo to Palampur in Himachal Pradesh. I had a great time. I would usually take the local bus to a nearby place and then take it back towards the evening. In the evening I would have a gajar ka halwa, chai and sometimes dhokla before heading to my hotel for…
Clouds at Sunrise, Palampur, India
This happened on a very cold day at dawn. I should have logically been fast asleep. I did not put any alarm to get up at sunrise. I also watched a lot of movies on TV the night before! And yet my eyes opened on its own and the view from the window at Palampur…

Beautiful Indian Women
It is only when I get out I realize how stereotypical is the definition of beauty around me! Particularly in the ads and movies. I am no street photographer! I am a big chuha when it comes to clicking strangers. But I don’t know what I liked about these women that I had to click…
What is there to See in Palampur?
I was once talking about a hill station I visited for which I was full of enthusiasm. It was slightly far away from a bigger well known spot in the hills. And I was asked, “So what is there to see?” The question caught me by surprise! For me the biggest draw has always been…
A Short Trip to Palampur in Himachal Pradesh
I had a fabulous one week in Palampur. The details will start pouring in. But let me start with their mere bus stand and a lowly puddle! It happens only in Himachal Pradesh I think! I had a gala time. I stayed at the Holiday Home Hotel a lovely home based accommodation. And the full disclosure…

I would be traveling solo to Himachal in a few days! I am so looking forward to it! I have not too much planned, want to take it slow and do nothing apart from walks and clicking pictures. I am also tempted not to schedule too many posts but then let us see! Tomorrow may…
