Unbelievable!

The Nethravathi trek in Karnataka is overflowing with crowds even on a weekday.

Recently drove from Udupi to Kasargod.

The difference in NH 66 road quality between Kerala and Karnataka is night and day.Kerala has smooth 6-lane access-controlled highway.

Karnataka gets barricades, chaotic U-turns, and terrible entry/exit points. #NH66

The impact of the Middle East conflict can be seen in the tourism industry of several countries. During our visit to Seychelles, we noticed fewer tourists than expected.

One reason was the cancellation of many flights operated through the Middle East.

A challenging yet thrilling trek we recently undertook near Bengaluru. With rains and a rocky ascent, every step was an adventure. An unforgettable experience!
