You don’t have to be a trekker for this. Need not have climbed great mountains. No prior experience required. Two weeks of jogging (2-4kms) everyday and regular exercise and you are ready. This is the minimum. Kuari Pass is one of the easy treks covering about 30-35kms in a span of 4 days and is the […]
Biking solo to Sariska-Bhangarh-Alwar!
Biking is not about speeding at 100 miles an hour, sharp turns, fancy bikes, branded gears or displaying flamboyance. To ride is to feel the warm rays of the sun, the wind brushing against you, a sense of freedom, never ending roads and mental inactivity or sometimes the other way around. Long roads, contrasting barren brown […]
All about Pushkar and the ‘grand mela’!
There are two ways of looking at things. Either you try to see behind walls; have admiration for the smallest of things, embrace the new and feel and experience the vibe around you or else you are indifferent and can interpret most things as obvious with hardly any element that surprises you.

Trekking solo in India unlike the west, remains unknown, untried and unthought of and hence looked at with raised eyebrows, weird faces emitting amusement and scepticism; and also sometimes with an acknowledgement for some kind of […]
Valley of Flowers and enchantment- “The monsoon trek”
Valley of flowers is not just a trek, it is a walk amongst the floating clouds; a surreal experience of a slice of heaven. With the valley blooming with a plethora of colours on one side, the snow clad mountains on the other and the alluring river dividing them, the scenery is picture perfect. Add […]

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity. – John Muir And the numbers are only going to get better. Gradually, there has been an increase in the number of people taking up treks in India and learning that […]
Why is travelling so important !
10 hours of work, 8 of sleep and the rest lost in between. Is this what you were looking for or imagined to spend your days like? While the oil may not have spilt for many of us, we have but forgotten to notice the Persian tapestries and the garden that the Master of Gardeners […]
