We came back from our short trek in Himachal Pradesh yesterday. My neighbor Anita and her daughter Kashwi joined Chhavi and I on this adventure. As both the kids are less than ten we picked up an easy Himachal Pradesh trek. Ramakant ji have been our guide in Himachal Pradesh since many years. The added…
The Journey to Manali
The journey to Manali may be a little tedious but nothing extraordinary. We started from home at 4.00 pm from Gurgaon for Vidhan Sabha metro station.

The first experience that comes to my mind was staying in the Levi Spirit Villa (picture above) in Lapland,…
Performing Animals- What Can a Tourist Do?
First off I use the words traveler and tourist interchangeably, so take your pick. In our travels we sometimes come across a situation where we end up interacting with performing animals. I have to admit I became conscious of the issue only gradually! I derive a lot of pleasure from visiting national parks. I have…
