Bird watching is a late hobby of mine but it is one that is going to stay with me. On many trips, I just do not get time to click any birds. Not so at Hail Himalayas. I saw many and managed to click three birds, two of them for the first time. I saw this…
Necklaces at Dilli Haat
For this lazy Sunday I once again post a picture I clicked at Dilli Haat. Once again it is the colorful necklaces that are on display. I hardly ever wear one, so I never buy one, but clicking them is always a high priority! You get such a variety of necklaces on display that you…
Colorful Flags and a Blue Sky
All my travel plans are in a flux. I was supposed to travel to Thailand (with Tourism Authority of Thailand, would have been my second trip too) this Sunday but that trip was put on hold yesterday. So I cooked up new plans in a jiffy. All the flights closer to the date are now…
Jangchub Rabtanling Monastery
What do you do when go and search on Google and find only your own post on the topic? I searched for the Jangchub Rabtanling Monastery near hail Himalayas and found my own post looking back at me! So I go ahead and talk more about it. I don’t know why I agreed to get…
The Waterfall Trek with Hail Himalayas
I love walking, there is so therapeutic about it. To me a nice holiday always includes a walk. And the holiday with Hail Himalayas (on invitation) was super nice because it included a trek to a waterfall. It was a nice, clear day with blue skies. While walking it is also never too cold. Jeevak,…
Love Story
All great love stories are complicated. If you have any doubts look around you, look at the literature and recall the legends. Could you find one that was uncomplicated? Remember Romeo and Juliet? What about Heer and Ranjha? Even the run of the mill Bollywood ones aren’t without love/hate sagas. You get the point? It…
Night Sky at Hail Himalayas
I tried my hand to click the night sky at Hail Himalayas this time. The night sky had about a million more stars at Hail Himalayas than I see in the cities. In the city sometimes I have to search really hard to find even a few stars. I have always been fascinated by the night…
Hail Himalayas!
Hail Himalayas is a phrase that any mountain lover will identify with. But it is also an adventure camp near Shimla. I spent the last weekend of 2013 with them (on invitation) and I had a great time. On the Chail road as soon as we took the detour to nowhere I knew it was…
The Sokha Angkor- Siem Reap, Cambodia
I stayed for only one night at Sokha Angkor, Siem Reap. And yet I liked it a lot. It is a luxury hotel in Siem Reap, quite close to Pub Street and not too far from the Angkor Temples. The lobby was impressive, we were a group of about 30 checking in (but as we…
Kaleidoscopic Skies
What do you do when you run out of pictures for sky watch? I tried to play in the backyard. I tried with the sun burst first. I was getting OK pictures but nothing that I wanted to post. If you want to click the sun burst make sure to get the sun peeping out…
