The Top Ten Instagram Posts for 2015

Posted on December 30, 2015December 15, 2017

I joined Instagram quite late primarily because I started using smartphones quite late. I clearly remember I was in Finland with the (then) Nokia for their Lumia 1020 Promotion. My friends from Nokia actually created the Instagram account for me! But I am hooked now. So these are myΒ top ten Instagram posts for 2015 by the number of likes.

10. Kerala Backwaters, India

Double the joy!

A photo posted by Mridula Dwivedi (@mridulablog) on Dec 9, 2015 at 11:19am PST

As I am new to Instagram I have been posting pictures from all my trips and not just those that were taken in 2015. This was from a trip to Kerala backwaters in 2013.

9. Christmas Cheers at Radisson Delhi!

Christmas Cheers with @radissondelhi

I went to Radisson for lunch at their Thai Restaurant Neung Roi but I found a lot of Christmas Cheer too!

8. Sunset at Cavelossim Beach, Goa

Goa Magic

I was supposed to be in Rishikesh for a family vacation. Chhavi and Seshadri are there. But I got a lot of cold, so I stayed back, they went. And in the end the family vacation count is still stuck at lousy one for 2015! Goa was the only family vacation we managed this year!

7. Homegrown Sunset!

The backyard sunset. I used to think I would watch a lot more sunsets if I quit my job. Six months after quitting I still see the occasional one!

A photo posted by Mridula Dwivedi (@mridulablog) on Dec 7, 2015 at 10:41am PST

Homegrown sunsets can be nice too! I thought I would watch more sunsets if I quit my job. It has not happened till now!

6. Beautiful Batal, Lahaul and Spiti

Β 

Mountains and I, a love story!

A photo posted by Mridula Dwivedi (@mridulablog) on Dec 20, 2015 at 8:31am PST

Spiti will always remain special for me! This was Batal, I will always carry a bit of it in my soul.

5. The Dot on the Forehead of Qutub Minar Complex

A dot on the forehead of the Qutub Minar Complex.

A photo posted by Mridula Dwivedi (@mridulablog) on Dec 13, 2015 at 8:37am PST

This was a chance photograph. I had no idea the sunset would provide me an opportunity to click the dot!

4. Pheriche, Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal

I left behind a piece of my heart there!

A photo posted by Mridula Dwivedi (@mridulablog) on Dec 6, 2015 at 10:38am PST

Everest Base Cap trek in Nepal has been my trip of a lifetime. It was so difficult, it was so beautiful! Pheriche was amazing, also because it was easier to breathe there

3. Sunset at Maafushi Island, Maldives

Once upon a time when I earned a salary and I could take international vacations!

A photo posted by Mridula Dwivedi (@mridulablog) on Dec 8, 2015 at 10:41am PST

As far as the beaches go Maldives it the most beautiful place I have visited. And it can be done on a budget.

2. Green Field, White Field, Uttarakhand

Β 

When we went to sleep in a green field and woke up in white!

A photo posted by Mridula Dwivedi (@mridulablog) on Dec 4, 2015 at 8:53pm PST

This is Talhauti in Uttarakhand. We went to sleep in a green field and woke up in a white one!

1. Stilt Fishing, Sri Lanka

A stilt fisherman in Sri Lanka, it is extremely touristy though.

A photo posted by Mridula Dwivedi (@mridulablog) on Dec 16, 2015 at 8:45am PST

The most liked photo of 2015 on Instagram is the Stilt Fishing from Koggala, Sri Lanka. It is beautiful to watch but it is quite touristy too!

PS. I got the idea for this post after reading a similar post on Desi Traveler!
