To put it in the words of Jane Wilson-Howarth, “The mountains were so wild and so stark and so very beautiful that I wanted to cry. I breathed in another wonderful moment to keep safe in my heart.” Our first journey to Spiti Valley was in October 2017 and I was completely mesmerized by the […]

To put it in the words of the Lonely Planet, “This slender coastal strip is defined by its layered landscape: almost 600km of glorious Arabian Sea coast and beaches; a languid network of glistening backwaters; and the spice- and tea-covered hills of the Western Ghats, dotted with fiercely protected wildlife reserves and cool hill stations […]
Prini Peak – Experiences From A Self-Sufficiency Mountaineering Course
Perhaps everyone dreams of it, but not everyone is lucky enough to traverse the paths unexplored.

Everything You Need To Know About Kumara Parvatha Trek
Quite stereotypical, but people like us who live in the Northern part of India usually correlate the term ‘trekking’ to the Himalayas, and we actually can’t think beyond that. For us, it’s obvious that we’ll get to see the snowcapped peaks, feel the chills as the wind blows, and sip on a cup of steaming […]
The Most Romantic Himalayan Trek : Journey To Goecha La
Goecha La, definitely, is unlike any other quintessential Himalayan Trek. A high mountain pass (approx 4940 mt or 16,207 ft) in Sikkim, this is known to be ‘The Most Romantic Himayalan Trek’. It often serves as the base camp for the Mountaineers aiming to scale Mt. Kanchenjunga, the world’s third-highest mountain. I’ve always been intrigued […]
