Always going somewhere, just not always sure where
Known as one of the most popular and beautiful treks in Ladakh, I decided to hike the Markha Valley during my time in Leh. Popular because it's easily accessible, the trail is not difficult to navigate and it's one of the few multiday treks in the region that can be done entirely with homestays, rather … Continue reading Trek report: Markha Valley
Srinagar left me feeling like I needed to explore Kashmir a bit more instead of going straight to Ladakh, and so I headed to Aru Valley, a place not even mentioned in my guidebook. Iād hardly seen anywhere so green in my life, and it appeared like a landscape that belonged more in Switzerland than anywhere near India.

My first state in the Northeast was Sikkim, one of the least populated states in India and famous for being home to the third tallest mountain in the world.
They call it Happy Hampi and I could definitely see why. It was a laidback village amidst a bizarre landscape of giant boulders and ancient temples. It reminded me a lot of Petra in Jordan where you werenāt really restricted as to where you could go and you could scramble up boulders and hills to … Continue reading Happy Hampi
When tourists think of southern India they think of Kerala and itās famous backwaters, palm trees, beaches and laidback attitude. Itās the place where you can forget for a while that you are in a country with over one billion people; itās quieter and more relaxed than other places on the subcontinent. I spent a … Continue reading Kerala: Godās own country
