Things to do in Dharamkot: Top tips from a solo traveller

Standing on the crest of a hill overlooking McLeodganj, the tiny Himachali village of Dharamkot is to travellers and backpackers today what McLeodganj was some years ago – a tranquil haven offering a welcome respite from the bustle of more touristy towns. You visit Dharamkot for the views and stay for the vibe. I stayed in Dharamkot for two weeks in October, and by the end of the trip, I was wishing I could stay there forever.

Well, I couldn’t stay forever but I hope to go back again someday. T

Travelling to Bir: Himachal’s offbeat gem

I didn’t know a lot about Bir till last year – popular tourist narratives around the must-visit places in Himachal tend to center around destinations like Manali, Shimla, Dharamshala, and others. I had heard about the town but didn’t really know what I was missing, till I travelled there after visiting Dharamkot. After travelling to Bir and staying for a week, I want to share my experience with others who might be looking for offbeat places to visit in Himachal Pradesh!

The Best Time To Visit Shillong And Cherrapunji: Monsoon!

One part of India that I had not visited at all in my years of travelling, was the north-eastern states. I finally broke that jinx by visiting Meghalaya, the predominantly tribal state carved out of Assam in the 1970’s. After my wonderful trip to Meghalaya in the height of the rains, I am now convinced that the monsoon is the best time to visit Shillong and Cherrapunji, the two most important places to see in Meghalaya.

Weekend In Landour - And Why I Can't Wait To Go Back

Sun-dappled paths lined with fir trees; endless green vistas ending in a horizon of snow-capped mountains; cottages with English and Irish names; birdsong that you can actually hear, all through the day. When I close my eyes and remember Landour, these are the first memories that come to me. I spent a long weekend in Landour in the spring and came back completely head over heels in love— blown away by the beauty of the tiny cantonment hill station, and the relative quiet I was able to find there.

Note to a 16-year-old Introvert

Just some of the things I would like to say to my 16-year old self, with the benefit of years of hindsight…

1. Don’t worry about what people think of you. The ones who are worth the worry, won’t judge you. The ones who do, aren’t worth it anyway.

2. The world’s ideas about wrong and right will keep changing. Follow your own moral compass.

3. If something is worth doing, then it sure as hell is worth doing well.

4. Life is too short to waste time doing something that doesn’t bring happiness.

A lot of new bloggers get discouraged and give up, because they have not done any groundwork before starting a blog and don’t really know what to expect. Because I don’t want that happening to you, here’s a checklist of the things that you should know.
