How does one begin to describe :
a land of endless contrasts,
a land of bewitching beauty,
a land of tough terrain & majestic mountains ….. and more? I could exhaust all superlatives, all adjectives so I’ll simply describe LADAKH as the place which you fall in love with the minute u set your eyes on it. Ladakh itself means a land of thousand passes. It is at an average altitude of 10000 feet & is a high-altitude, cold desert. It’s bounded by the world's two mightiest mountain ranges - the great Himalayan and the Karakoram. It lies athwart two others: The Ladakh and the Zanskar range.
And that is the most enchanting aspect of Ladakh that the mountains are ubitiquitous. |

May is a month I will remember as the month I lived two exquisite musical evenings and also accomplished a certain thing-to-do I have been wanting to.
I never make New Year resolutions. Of course May isn't exactly the month to talk about New Year resolutions! But the point I'm making is that I have an idea of goals I must accomplish in a certain timeframe but they are never subject to a certain December day! And one of the things I have wanted to do this year was to travel alone. I am not a loner or an introvert. Anyone who knows me, will, I’m sure not choose these words to describe me. But since I am passionate about traveling and I truly live every moment of each journey I undertake, I wanted to just have some space for myself.
And after waiting for so long, I got that chance this May. I traveled to Prague with my friends and it was awesome fun. But for me the highlight of the trip was when I took off to Vienna all by myself. My friends were to join me few days later.
And while on my way to the train, I decided to head to Bratislava instead before landing in Vienna!! Bratislava was a charming surprise and a really pleasant, quaint little town.

WHITE WATER RAFTING
River rafting in the dazzling white waters of the Himalayan Rivers is the best in the world, with great rapids that challenge the body, invigorate the mind and the spirit. There are many river-rafting regions here which suit both professionals as well as amateur rafters.
The magic behind white water rafting is the extreme and never-ending thrills in the untamed rivers.
It’s that inexplicable feeling of incredible peace found in the act of flowing with the astounding current of the river.
One of the most magnificent white water rafting experiences one can have
would be on River Beas.
The Beas River, one of the four major Himachal Rivers, rises from Rohtang Pass and flows through the Kully valley. Beas has, right from Manali till Jhiri, close to Bajaura in Kullu district, become a favorite among the river rafting lovers. On this 20 kms stretch, there... Adventure Travel Read More... |

A love story that reaches its crescendo with a lover declaring , "And I find the greatest peace in knowing that together one day we will be phosphates of calcium" is not really the run-of-the mill line one would usually expect from a wife to a husband. |
