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….
Antarctica Ahoy?
You might wonder why I have put a question mark after Ahoy? I will tell you the tale if you bear with me. It started at Baiguney with Club Mahindra’s conClay. I heard Dr. Priya Venkatesh talk about her expedotion to Antarctica with 2041. I was hooked. So I decided to apply for the 2013…
Paths I Took!
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. We came in a vehicle but then climbed a small hillock for the view around. This is of course something I don’t tire talking about, my recent trek to…

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!
And this time my excuse is the account of the Everest Base Camp Trek that has appeared at Gonomad. It is ideal for those who thought my day to day accounts were just a bit too long to read. Here is a short quote from the article- Gradually after the rest I stumbled across Tengboche…
