I am back from my attempt to trek through the Annapurna Circuit Trek. Attempt because I had to give up the trek at Ledar (4200 meters). I was perfectly fine and looking to move to the high camp at 4800 but the weather was not. Anyway it is a long story and will be told…

Skies from a Trek in Uttarakhand
This is a picture from my trek in Uttarakhand in 2011. I sometimes get nostalgic about those open spaces. This post is part of Sky Watch.
The Tickets to Nepal are Booked!
So as I said earlier I just booked the tickets to Nepal and everything else seems to be falling in its place. I once again asked the good folks at Above the Himalayas a lot of questions before finalizing my trip. Puru Timalsena the owner has always been super helpful to me and it was…
Longing for Some 10 KMPH Days Again!
This time when I came back from the Kuari Pass trek, I felt totally disconnected from my day to day life. Now, two and a half months later, I can barely remember the trek. Life is flashing past me in a whirl of activities and I feel overwhelmed at times. Then, I know it is…

My First Trek: Sar Pass (Himanchal Pradesh)
My husband and I took a trek in the Indian Himalayas from May 17 to May 27, 2003. I still dream about my Sar Pass trek, it was so incredibly beautiful. As I am writing this, I can see this one is going to be really long! Have patience with me. My husband has trekked…
Goa in December with a Difference
Along with my husband and two nephews, I trekked in Goa, in the month of December through YHAI. The photo is of the Devil’s Canyon and it is from an era when I did not have a digital camera. Goa is a fabulous place but gets too crowded for words in December. But by trekking,…
