BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I am embarking upon an amazing food trail which will see me pass through India, Nepal and China. My dream to visit such remote places is finally coming true. But not even in the wildest of my dreams, had I thought that it would be the epic Kailasha Mansarovara Yatra Trek. I see it as nothing less than a blessing by one of my favourite Lord Shiva. This trip is presented by @Madhuban foods in association with @ScoutMyTrip . I will be representing Travel Pals. What makes it special is that I will be on an unprecedented Sattvic Food Trail, which makes it a trip tailor made for me. Both vegetarianism and adventure is close to my heart and the very core of my being! I had quit meat at 14, at a tender age, on ethical grounds. As an adult, environmental issues generated by meat has only made my resolve stronger. Both vegetarianism and Sattvic are same and yet different. Not many people understand what Sattvic actually stands for. It is an ancient Hindus dietary tradition designed to aid spiritual and physical well being of humans. We will find out more! You can follow my journey on social media as I criss cross through 3 countries. And also watch out for an exciting contest coming up.

This is offbeat travel at its best. I fell in love with Bandipur. This is not to be confused with the Bandipur of India. Bandipur is a secluded haven, situated in Tanahun district of Nepal. A far cry from the whirligig of the bigger cities of Nepal, Bandipur is great for those who seek a bit of aesthetic, quiet, great organic food and a bit of adventure. Travelers mostly come to chill in Bandipur. However, for the adventurous souls, there are many trekking trails which start right from the Heritage area of Bandipur. Towards the end of the heritage area, look for a sign board which clearly mentions the trekking trails and the direction. In case you are confused, feel free to ask the ever helpful locals or the café owners and shopkeepers. Expect to make your way through agricultural fields and cute little villages. You will find some tea houses on the way. There will also be long patches which will be deserted.

Did you know about the offbeat destination of Nepal called Bandipur? It is a well kept secret popular amongst western and Europeans backpackers. Overshadowed by more known places in Nepal, Bandipur is unperturbed by lack of attention, for it is loved by few who care. Despite the lack of publicity, the charming Bandipur holds on to its own. I am sure in next few years it will be a much sought after hot destination favored by the discerning travelers from across the globe. Quaint minimal huts gave way to scores of well preserved ancient buildings. Few Nepali locals were replaced by hundreds of Europeans dressed like a true blue bohemian. Expensive western cafes competed with Nepali shops selling cheap sil rotis and samosa. As so many things vied for my attention, I realized I had discovered a very special place. A Nepal which I didn’t know existed!

Goa, the smallest state of India, is tucked into the south-west coast of the country. Despite its smaller size, it offers a wealth of experiences. Thanks to tourism, the state is now one of the richest. Tourists are drawn by the 80 miles of coastline and the Indian culture with a Goan twist. Get ready to enjoy the culture and history of Goa. All you need to do is start planning and look for the right Goa hotels for a comfortable and affordable stay. Find the best deal and book your hotel well in time to avoid any last minute disappointments. Explore the dizzying array of sights and activities Goa is well known for. I have been to Goa 10 times till now. When I was in Mumbai I used to make an impulsive trip to Goa every year. Now having shifted to North India, I miss that liberty of traveling to Goa on a whim, but I still visit Goa whenever I have an opportunity. No wonder, it is one of my most favourite states in India! Check out my new blog on Goa.

New Blog: Did you know that @travelspice_com can help you save a lot of money when you book luxury hotels in Indi? In case you are looking for a fab weekend getaway from Delhi with young children or elderly parents or spouse, Travel Spice can help you save a lot of money. I tried a very useful app called Travel Spice recently for my stay at the Clark’s Awadh in Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh, India). It is a centrally located 4 star property and a name to reckon with! Thanks to Travel Spice, I was able to book a room in the hotel at more than half the price. You would wonder how is it even possible! It is no magic! What Travel Spice does is that it utilizes the vacant rooms in a hotel in a way that both hotel and the guest benefit out of it! Do check out travelspice.com and pls click the link in bio to read the details in my blog too. ________________________________________________ The view from my #SoulWindow is pocket friendly! ________________________________________________ https://asoulwindow.com/2018/06/28/how-travel-spice-helps-you-save-money-and-avail-discounts-in-top-luxury-hotels-of-india/ ________________________________________________ #TravelSpice #IncredibleIndia #UttarPradesh #Lucknow #Luxury #Travel #TravelBlogger #Pool #SwimmingPool #India #TravelPicture #Backpacker #BudgetTravel #SoloTravel #lonelyplanetindia #TravelBlog #TravelBlogger #positiveetimess

IS MELBOURNE SAFE TO VISIT? My new blog is about safety tips for Melbourne, especially the CBD area and the North Richmond area. It is a hub of the heroin crisis of Melbourne and hub of many beggars and homeless. As a traveler, you must watch out for anti social elements, drug addicts & syringes which can get very uncomfortable & dangerous at times. I love bringing unsaid stories to you which do not make it to the glossy travel magazines & utopian travel blogs. This blog will inform you of the underbelly of Melbourne, I knew nothing about. Until I embarked upon my first international solo trip to Australia. Excerpts Beastly growls started getting wilder, alternated by massive unabashed farts (the kinds which release poop with it). I thought I had bought a ticket to a civilized so called first world! I thought his face will appear from the slit and he will bite me. Or pull my legs and chew it. I had imagined him as a Wolverine reincarnate. I had had enough! I did not even start my business and got up. I zipped my pants, picked my backpack and left the mess that my cabin had become; thanks to the little gifts I was welcomed to Melbourne with. As I emerged out, I had a quick glance at the cabin of the Wolverine. It was still locked. I could not see the long claws. I didn’t have the patience to see. The growls and farts had grown bolder. It was the first day of my first international solo trip and this is how it started. This will always be my memory of my first day in the so called ‘world’s most liveable city.’ Read my blog for full story.

Travel and music go hand in hand. But often I have to let go of music because it's raining or I am at the pool. But then I have #UltimateEars #Wonderboom wireless speakers! Being waterproof, they work perfectly with #BigSound even if I swim with it! Come rain, come storm. Now I know how to have fun by the poolside with music on!
