  • An evening walk through the jungles 👣💕 . . Since we travel for long and often, accommodations we choose, are as much as important as the places we travel to. At times even more 🤷 . . This place truly lives up to its name. With a fresh water stream in front of the property and a beautiful jungle behind, Prakriti Aalay is full of nature with beautiful rose gardens as well as organic farms around the villas. . . For people who like to stay away from hustle and bustle, I would highly recommend that they take a halt here, in lower part of Dharamshala, before heading to congested and touristy McLeodganj, up in the hills. . . They have a dedicated reading area, bonfire place, yoga rooms, badminton court, bar area and a restaurant that serves excellent fresh food (home made style) . . P.S. - also they have some bikes if you would like to cycle around 🚲 . . #dharamshala #mcleodganj #himachalpradesh #indiantravelblogger #mobilephotography #hiddengems #jungle #freshwaterstream #rosegarden #organicfarms #organicfarm #livinginnature #indianhomestays #incredibleindia #newblogger #travelinformation #digitalnomadlife #remoteworkers #digitalnomadgirls #indiantravelgirl #roadtripindia
  • फलक तक चल साथ मेरे...☕🌧🚗 . . Location: Khadottaa U Point Cafe It's not even a cafe but a typical 'kitli' on the hill side on Khadottaa road. The road is very narrow and ends 500 m before the actual location, rest of the distance you have to hike. . . You may feel that what is there to explore, except the cafe, after driving through such a bad road, but if you are someone who enjoy getting lost only to find hidden gems, then do check out this place. . . They serve maggi, momos, chowmein, tea and coffee. Food is not that great though but it's an experiential place with excellent views all around. . . #indiantravelblogger #dharamshala #himachalpradesh #mobilephotography #indiantravelgirl #instablogger #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadgirls #roadtripper #clouds #indiainmonsoon #silhouette #hillstations #hiddengems #hidden_igers #teapoint #travelinfo #incredibleindia #mcleodganj
  • This was the last, I did something on the name of activity in Banff.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Just when we were about to begin the most beautiful & important part of our #canadatrip2019, which is driving through Banff & Jasper, Kulbir got sick and then later, I got sick. We were tired, frustrated and barely could find time to post updates.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ Nevertheless, we recovered eventually and had a great time for rest of the trip. So I am going to start sharing again from where we left, the other half of the trip. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #lategrams #canadatrip2019 #43daysaway #banff #banffnationalpark #canada #bridge #travelawesome #travelersnotebook #indiantravelblogger #hyderabadblogger #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomaddiary #aroundtheworlpix #aroundtheworld #canada_gram #canada_pic #traveladdict #travelbloggersofindia #workfromanywhere #traveldeeper #globelletravels #globetrotters #travelcouple
  • My journey with alcohol has been interesting. Initially I tried everything and then left everything 🙄. I was a teetotaller for almost 5-6 years. But I just could not stay away from wines😐 I simply love them😍 .⠀ .⠀ Only a few know that I drink, and even fewer are those, I choose to drink with. Mostly, back at home (India) I deny that I drink, because the idea around alcohol there is to get drunk & not drink 😒 .⠀ .⠀ Alcohol is an excuse for many to say or do things that they can get away with later, by saying "I was high". I don't drink when I am happy or sad. Yes, it does help me to loosen up and have a bit of fun. But there is definitely no need to identify alcohol with some specific kind of feeling. It is a thing to be consumed just like any other thing we eat or drink (we don't say that I eat an eggplant when I am sad & a potato when I am happy, you just eat it) 🤷 .⠀ .⠀ You drink to cherish and appreciate the surroundings, people around you and most importantly your own company, in a better & more interesting way. It should be a gateway to engaging conversations, exchange of wisdom & lifetime experiences rather than a vent out to brag or boast or some insensitive behavior. 🙅 . . #winelovers #winelovers🍷 #winecountry #winelover #winewinewine #wines #winenight #winestagram #travelwriting #travelersnotebook #travelerthoughts #writetotravel #traveltowrite #travelwritersofinstagram #traveldiary #newblogger #bloggersofindia #hyderabadblogger #travelbloggersofindia #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadlifestyle #redwinelover #girlswhothink #overthinker #writetoexpress #cabinhouse #canadatrip2019 #43daysaway #femmetravel
  • 👆This is on #day23 of our #canadtrip2019. We are halfway through the trip🤘 and By now.... ✨ ✨ You are done getting dolled up in all those dresses and looks you wanted to have your pictures in 🙄 ⠀ ✨ ✨ Last thing you want to do is taking pictures...because you are piled up with so much that you don't know what to do with what you already have🙇🏻‍♀️ ✨ ✨ Your intestine & skin is agitated and bursting with all kind of problems because of changes in weather, food and water. No more you want to hide it or correct it with any make up or skincare 🙅 ✨ ✨ Any opportunity of internet connectivity??!!! First thing you want to do is connect to friends & family back at home and not the digital ones. ✨ ✨ You have started missing your favorite pillow, that cozy blanket and that close friend who love you just the way you like it.👯 ✨ ✨ Probably you have got sick, at least once, that too during the most important & beautiful part of the trip. Your are just able to travel around and still paying for it.🤷 ✨ ✨ No place or destination is anymore good or bad, they are just various places that you want to experience to their fullest🚶 ✨ ✨ You want to take detours, no matter how costly it might get financially, physically or emotionally just to discover something that no one might have ever before 🚐 ✨ ✨ Probably you want to give up & feel like why are you even doing this and have already decided this is the last trip, no more travel lifestyle. But still you will gather yourself up and do it all over again because it is now that you have truly become a traveler, otherwise you were just another tourist. 🛣️ .⠀ . #longtermtravel #43daysaway #nofilters #nomakeup #longtermtravellers #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadgirls #travelwriting #travelwriterslife #travelthoughts #traveldepression #newblogger #hyderabadblogger #travelbloggersofindia #roadtripcouple #romads #globecouples #travellifestyle #remotelife #globelletravels #roamtheworld #borntoroam #worldnomads #travelstories #travelersnotebook #sheexplores #sheisnotlost

  • Strolling through the beautiful landcsape of the port city of Vancouver . . I feel of all the cities I have been to till date, Vancouver has the most beautiful landscape ever. You have it all ....port, ocean, lakes, mountains, waterfalls, rivers, snow, and what not ....just right there. . . Also the city is very well planned and infrastrcuture accomodates the nature so well without disturbing the environment. I just wish the public transport was better and reliable, otherwise all in all a great city with mutliethnic groups so the cultural side of it is also very interesting. . . Because of multiethnic groups, there is lot to explore in food & cusines. And not just that, BC people are super health conscious. So you have all those great organic, vegan stores here if you are a foodie and don't want to compromise on health. . . P.S. - The car scene is also great...be it vintage, off road 4W drives or the luxury segment. Way affordable than back in India 😁🙄. If you are fond of driving......Vancouver is the place to be 👍 . . #vancouver #vancouverbc #vancouverisland #vancouverfoodie #vanouverlife #vancouver_canada #canadatrip2019 #43daysaway #indiantravelblogger #indianbloggers #indianphotographers #mobilephotography #travelwriters #indiantravelgirl #indiantravellersquad #digitalnomadgirls #digitalnomaddiary #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadsofindia #damestravel #womenwhowander #womentraveler #denimshorts #travelootd #longlegs
  • So by now I have been to good number of cities that has Graffiti culture, but what is special about Graffiti in Canada (especially eastern Canada) is that how there is 'control' over this chaos. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ What I mean is that the chaos of this art form is very well synchronised with other elements of the city which is often not the case in other cities (mostly european cities like Lisbon, Lagos, Berlin etc.).Graffiti in Canada is also with so much emotional appeal that it almost allevates the aesthetic appeal of a place rather than assaulting it.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ I understand that Graffiti is an art form from our modern era and hence deserves a place and recognition in our cultural history, but I believe it should be done in such a way that it blends well with whatever we have created till now as humans and not abuse it. And Canada completely exemplifies that. ⠀ .⠀ ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #ottawa #ottawatourism #ottawaontario #bywardmarket #bywardmarketottawa #graffitiphotography #graffiti_art #graffitigers #travellerthoughts #travelwriting #traveljournal #indiantravelblogger #indiantraveller #roadtripcouple #theacademictraveler #indiantravelsquad #hyderabadblogger #writersofig #travelwriter #canadatrip2019 #43daysaway #longtermtravel #slowtraveler #canadalife #denimjacket #reddress
