The Himalayan pilgrimages are more than snow covered peaks, rushing water streams and untouched trails.

#Flora found here is a delight to watch.

On the way to #KinnerKailash , between 2,500–4,500 metres, found these tiny alpine wildflowers blooming quietly and fearlessly.

It’s a gentle reminder that the most beautiful things in life don’t seek attention—they simply bloom in silence.

युग-युगांतर तक अमर रहें कारगिल के वो वीर सपूत

“Small aim is a crime; have great aim.”
~ Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

Honoured to visit the ‘House of Kalam’ in Rameswaram few months back, the home from where big dreams took flight.

This house doesn’t just preserve the history, it symbolises that greatness can emerge from the humblest beginnings.

Remembering Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam on his death anniversary 🙏

Life in the hills looks beautiful on camera, but reaching home safely is never taken for granted during extreme weather conditions.

In a heartbreaking tragedy, 13 people lost their lives on the spot after rocks fell onto a moving Tata Sumo on the Udaipur, Lahaul – Pangi (Killar) road.

The ears fell in love before the eyes did… 
#SoulfulSounds

The gentle chime of a village temple bell echoes beneath a centuries-old deodar.

Here in #DevbhoomiHimachal, divinity arrives with the melodious sound of deodar breeze, drifting over the slate-laden roofs of ancient multi-storeyed temples.

Faith is not always spoken. Its is fully experienced, less expressed and least explained.

Pack In, Pack Out ♻️

Spent 10 incredible days in Kashmir & Ladakh.

While travelling, camping & hiking in the mountains, we made only wonderful memories & left no trash behind to add to the mountains’ burden.

We collected all the waste we generated each day, carried it with us in garbage bags & disposed of it only at designated collection points\bins only. #CarryMeBack

#ResponsibleTourism is the need of the hour, it is no longer a choice.

The Himalayas are very beautiful & too fragile to bear the burden of human negligence.

From one ‘Jot’ to another on same day …..

Travelling across Jot (2880m)Chamba, Himachal to Padhri Jot (3050m), Bhaderwah J&K .

Height, terrain, people, culture, borders change but one common thing is desi Khoya Barfi. #UnitedByCuisines

Talk with locals over Chai Barfi on these beautiful landscapes is some unique and wonderful experience.
