The North beckons! Posted on July 7, 2010 It’s been a while since I headed North. A few years in fact. I still have some vivid memories skiing down the lovely while slopes of Auli. And roaming around the gallis of Dharamasala in search of the perfect momo and of course visiting the Indian abode of HH The Dalai Lama. It’s time to go back! This time I head towards Manali and will make my way towards Leh, all depending on the road conditions. There have already been a lot of reports about the excessive rain and snowfall this time around. But then, that’s the fun of travel and adventure. Some amount of unpredictability – the plans are all well laid but we don’t quite know what will happen until we get there! The travel will extend towards the end of July and I will try and keep my twitter updated wherever I have signal. But I intend to fully enjoy a signal free life 🙂 Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print India & Around Living Sports & Adventure Travel
V-Day has become V-Scary Day! Posted on February 14, 2007February 14, 2007 Following my post yesterday, there have been more interesting (and predictable) developments in the Indian public space. People in the city of Jaipur are advised to indulge in private displays of affection instead (this is very much Indian culture, btw) and make loads of babies. It’s good for the country,… Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on X (Opens in new window) X Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Print (Opens in new window) Print Read More

Worst ad ever? Posted on April 26, 2006April 26, 2006 Or at least in a long, long time. I had a similar reaction when I saw the Pepsi campaign a few months ago, where they had lips on women’s navels that were mouthing the Pepsi theme. It was positively horrific. Later, they realised it and changed some bits of it.

That is the most beautiful adventure in Leh. I biked around Leh 2 years ago – the best adventure ever, my blog’s header image says it all. If you haven’t decided a place to stay in Leh, I can suggest shanti guest house, a lovely hotel 1.5 kms from main market, away from the hustle and bustle of this small town.. Rs300/- day and wonderful hosts. http://www.bcmtouring.com/forum/hotels-guest-houses-jammu-kashmir-ladakh-f48/shanti-guest-house-leh-t11674/ Reply
I was in Delhi this morning and was watching news of Punjab, Manali and other areas being cut off due to heavy rains… Hope the situation improves by the time you reach Reply
I have been hoping to make a trip to Leh for long… Have a wonderful, fun-filled, adventurous and safe trip! Reply
