Having waited enough, one day I just booked my ticket and landed in Kashmir. . It was a short trip so I tried to cover few places like Gulmarg, Pahalgam and places in Srinagar like dal lake and Mughal gardens. You’ll get to see beautiful valleys and greenary all around. Overall its a very beautiful place and we didn’t faced any issues. I felt happy to be in ‘paradise on earth’. The whole vibe that I got from the place was beautiful. <br />

From the Latin <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">vagari</em>, meaning “to wander,” this 16th-century word originally meant a wandering journey. Nowadays, “vagaries” refer to unpredictable or erratic situations, but that doesn’t mean the old sense of the word can’t be invoked from time to time.</div>

An Old English word that refers to something that’s both strange and marvelous. It’s a great way to sum up those seemingly indescribable moments spent in an unfamiliar land.</div>

Who hasn’t felt a strong desire to be somewhere—anywhere—other than where you currently are? That’s <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">fernweh</em>, or “farsickness,” and this German word has been described as a cousin of wanderlust, another German loan word.</div>

Another gift from the French, this word literally translates to “drift,” but thanks to some mid-20th century French philosophers, it can also refer to a spontaneous trip, completely free of plans, in which you let your surroundings guide you.</div>

To <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">peregrinate</em> is to travel from place to place, especially on foot.</div>

Similar to peregrinate, this word essentially means to travel over or through an area by foot. So instead of saying that you’ll be walking around London, you can say you’ll be <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">perambulating</em> the city’s streets—much more sophisticated.<span style="box-sizing: inherit; color: red;">Syn- Wayfarer</span></div>

This English word could appropriately be used to describe the Grand Canyon or the Northern Lights. Something <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">numinous</em> is awe-inspiring and mysterious. It’s difficult to understand from a rational perspective, which gives it a spiritual or unearthly quality.</div>

The young and the restless will want to incorporate this word into their lexicon. The adjective refers to those who are constantly moving from place to place—in other words, a nomadic existence. It stems from the Greek word <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">peripatein</em> (“to walk up and down”).</div>

You’re alone in a forest. It’s peaceful. The sun is filtering through the trees and there’s a light breeze. That’s <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">waldeinsamkeit</em>. (Literally “forest solitude.” And yes, Germans have all the best travel words.)</div>

This could be construed as the traditional English equivalent of <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">flâneur, </em>meaning “to wander without a specific aim or purpose,” a <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">gadabout</em> is one who frequently travels from place to place for the sheer fun of it. In other words: a modern-day backpacker.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #1a1c1e; font-family: "Lobster Two", sans-serif; font-size: 2rem; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.38;">

Sometimes, no matter how amazing your vacation may be, you just want to come home to your bed and cats. This Welsh word sums up the deep yearning for home that can strike without warning. As Gillian Thomas put it in an <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/arts/yourvideo/media/pages/gillian_thomas_01.shtml" rel="noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">interview</a> with the BBC, “Home sickness is too weak. You feel <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">hiraeth</em>, which is a longing of the soul to come home to be safe.”</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #1a1c1e; font-family: "Lobster Two", sans-serif; font-size: 2rem; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.38;">

Have you ever seen something so beautiful it made you cry? That’s <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">commuovere</em> in action. The Italian word describes the feeling of being moved, touched, or stirred by something you witness or experience.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #1a1c1e; font-family: "Lobster Two", sans-serif; font-size: 2rem; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.38;">

This Swedish word translates to something along the lines of “place of wild strawberries,” but its metaphorical meaning is something along the lines of a “happy place.” Whether it’s a hidden overlook of the city or your favorite vacation spot that hasn’t been “discovered” yet, <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">smultronställe</em> refers to those semi-secret places you return to time and time again because they’re special and personal to you.</div>

Translating to a “lucky find,” this French word can be applied to that cool cafe, flower-lined street, or quirky craft store that you stumbled upon by chance. Indeed, these are the moments that make travel worthwhile.</div>

In some Spanish dialects, the word <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">vacilando</em> describes someone who travels with a vague destination in mind but has no real incentive to get there. In other words, the journey is more important than the destination. As John Steinbeck described it in his travelogue <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Travels With Charley</em>: “It does not mean vacillating at all. If one is <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">vacilando</em>, he is going somewhere, but doesn’t greatly care whether or not he gets there, although he has direction. I have often assumed this state of being.</div>

However, not everyone can travel without a list of things in hand. With every trip planned; you will gain more experience and learn about the new place. So, if we’re actually looking at defining what a ‘bucket-list’ is, this is what it means….</div>

In simple terms, a bucket list is nothing but a list of things you ‘want’ to do before you die… but then, it also means the list of things you ‘don’t want to’do before you die. Now, that can be tough, isn’t it? So for example, you write down the things you’re always wanting to do, such as bungee jumping, rafting, mountain biking/climbing and so on, but can you write down the things if it concerns social norms or traditions or simply what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. Well, it can be a lot more than what you’d think. I can tell you the who’s, how’s and the what’s of a bucket list to make your life easier. Let’s take this step-by-step, one at a time!</div>

Why do we need a bucket-list?</h3>

The actual key here is to simply write from your mind; the first thought that comes to your mind with no consideration of whether it can be done or not. Just go for it! A famous impression by E.B White once read, ‘Life is like writing with a pen – you can cross out your past but you can’t erase it.’ So, if you don’t write down the moments you wish to spend time with, how would you strike it a past or rather a memorable memory? Thus, by simply writing, it will give you the confidence or encourage to turn your dreams into realities and being honest with yourself is the most important thing.</div>

These quotes are enough for you to begin your journey now. However, another thing what can keep you motivated is, reading. Read what you love about traveling; about the places you’d love to visit or see one day. Start planning backwards, and who knows where your next destination will be. Discussing destinations, upcoming plans with your family/friends circle can help too. Make a choice and accelerate, the path is all yours!</div>

How will a bucket-list help a person?</h3>
<div data-paraid="para-3201" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
Now a bucket-list does not mean a ‘random’ list of things, it has to be what you want ‘to experience’ in life. While you’re thinking of a what to do, where to go, and how to… here are 3 ways how making a bucket-list can help you.</div>
<div data-paraid="para-7728" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Direction in planning</span></div>
<div data-paraid="para-3032" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
While some enjoy planned trips, a few may love the impromptu ones. However, to make any trip successful, you need to have a direction in your thought. So, even if you do not wish to write down your goals on a piece of paper, write it on your mobile phone quickly, so the thought is not missed. Charting your moves, can not only accomplish your desires, but also give you a clear path to follow the experiences you’ve always wanted to have in life. A bucket-list will give you the correct direction, help you avoid the distractions and allow you to keep moving ahead.</div>

</div>
<div data-paraid="para-1424" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Starting small for better focus</span></div>
<div data-paraid="para-1907" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
A list of things you’d like to accomplish doesn’t have to include the best and big things of your life. You can start small to stay focused. And when you’re focused, it’s easy to follow the plan and make an effort to fulfil that. For example, you can start writing your ‘to-do-list’ for each day, week or even month, what we call is a ‘weekly focus’ or ‘monthly focus’. You can pick three-four experiences you want to achieve in this month and work hard to make it happen.</div>
<div data-paraid="para-7217" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Everything has a reason</span></div>

Now, everything you’ve thought about and write down must have a reason and a purpose, to why you want to do this. For example, one wants to do Bunjee Jumping for two reasons: a. overcome the fear of heights. b. Feel the adrenaline rush or feel like a bird. Hence, having a purpose of listing things down will help you determine if you really want to do it or not.</div>
<div data-paraid="para-6757" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
So, do not waste your time in wanting to experience life. Create the moments as per you and experience it to the fullest. While, you’re giving it a thought now, we share some unique ideas of bucket-lists. So, no more procrastinating! It’s important to category your things – here’s how you can start!</div>

While these ideas can give you a start – think through the deepest thing you want to do and write it down. It may differ as per your interest and stages of life. And once you’ve listed them down, follow the steps to understand how you can accomplish a bucket-list.</div>

Accomplishing what you want to do is not rocket science. All you need to do is, prioritize the items listed on your list and schedule it.</div>
<div data-paraid="para-2155" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Step 1: Discover bucket-lists</span></div>
<div data-paraid="para-8979" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
Well at first, (if you’re making a bucket-list to travel), you’d need the inspiration. You can actually consider reading up general travel websites to find insights on a place/thing you wish to accomplish. Since you’ll have special interests, a detailed research which provides resources, information would be helpful in planning your trip.</div>
<div class="text-center" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">
</div>
<h3 data-paraid="para-8541" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px auto; max-width: 100%;">
Step 2: Connect with like-minded people</h3>
<div data-paraid="para-933" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
Whether you’re a first-timer or if you have thought about drafting a bucket-list already, you could ask your family or friends about their lists too. Like I mentioned above, discussing thoughts can actually help encourage and discover similar aspirations and maybe, you could work together on striking those items off your bucket-list.</div>
<h3 data-paraid="para-5267" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.1; margin: 20px auto; max-width: 100%;">
Step 3: Accomplishing and marking it off</h3>
<div data-paraid="para-7137" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; float: none; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 20px; line-height: 36px; margin: 30px auto; max-width: 100%; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; word-break: break-word;">
After you’ve picked up and listed the things you want to do, accomplishing it will need both, time and money. In simple terms, a well-sorted plan, along with substantial amount of savings can be very useful. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><u style="box-sizing: border-box;">After all, it’s an aspirant circle: You plan something new, create a bucket-list, work towards it, save for it and simply accomplish it.</u></span></div>

So, you think about travel all the time. Nothing seems so exciting as the lure of the road. The feeling of being free among unknown lands. Dreaming about travel destinations and how it would be in person. You have googled innumerable destinations and have a bucket list that runs into pages. You are the one who makes plans everyday only to see your friends back out at the last instant. When you actually travel with your friends, you want to do things differently and nobody agrees to see life your way.</h2>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Ok. A fleeting thought of travelling all by yourself has already crossed your mind. You are afraid, scared. What if something goes wrong? What if you don’t find accommodation? What if you fall sick? What if somebody steals your bags? What if? You have contemplated and thought of all the unforeseen circumstances, yet need a final push to leave. </em></span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">1. <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Calm demeanour with a Smile</span> </span>: However tumultuous your heart might be on your first solo travel experience, it is always a good idea to be confident. Not forceful or submitting, just your normal self. <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">You will meet many people on your solo journeys, so don’t judge people based on their appearances</em>. Take your own sweet time talking to them, knowing their stories; you will realise that mostly everyone is friendly. Do not be afraid of anything, let positive things come to you. Smiling is free, so might as well keep it on.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">2. Flashing your expensive phone or DSLR</span> : It does mean missing out on some pictures that you dearly want to click, but it is imperative that you keep your dslr inside until you know the people around. <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">For them, a dslr or a costly phone is a thing associated with the rich.</em> Plus, when you are looking for budget accommodation, prices of the rooms will be invariably jacked up if costly accessories are seen. The hotel guys saw my DSLR once and quoted astronomical prices!</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">3. Pack right (Read : light)</span>: Since you are travelling alone, it is highly likely that you will have to cover some distances by walking. <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">It is very important that the bags you carry not be the reason to slow you down</em>. Carry a big backpack and carry an empty daypack small bag inside it. Then you can establish a base and go for small exploratory trips. Carrying a briefcase or suitcase is not a very good idea if you are solo travelling (Unless it is a luxury trip).</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">4. Research and gather basic Information:</span> We are all looking for unforgettable experiences when we travel solo – whether planned or unplanned. It always helps to know basic details about the places and destinations you are visiting and have a r<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">ough idea about the food, culture, mode of transport, mobile networks, places to stay and expenses involved</em>. If the destination is remote and not easily accessible, you must know beforehand about the means and ways of getting there.</div>
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif;">

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">5. Think on your feet:</span> Do on a solo sojourn as you would do in life. It is already evening and your originally planned destination is still three-four hours away. What do you do? Talk to the locals and find out the best possible solution. Looking for a place to stay in the evening is not a very good idea. Y<i style="box-sizing: inherit;">ou must have a faint idea about your end of day destination at the beginning of the day</i>. That’s the rule of thumb in solo travelling. If you are in trouble and a situation turns uncomfortable, scream and shout and let the locals know. They are most likely to help.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit;">8. When in Rome, do as the Romans do</span> : Watch the locals and observe and ask the activities in the destination that you are in. It is fascinating to listen to stories that very few know about. You can ask for recommendations of local delicacies and where to eat them. You can buy clothes, crafts, art based on talks with locals. Keep asking about specific things and they will be the best guidebook you never had. Who knows, you might stumble upon lost treasures!</div>

A sturdy pair of walking and running shoes :</span> Solo travelling means time for aimless walks and introspection. <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Ensure your shoes are properly broken in and are not a new pair, walking on snow can get tricky otherwise</em>. Socks that you wear should be comfortable for walking long distances. Flip-flips are useful for water crossings and should be carried along too. Do not fall down a slope while walking on slender paths.</div>

Very few people you meet actually take the trouble of asking you many questions, be prepared and know how to respond. Refrain in saying that you are a businessman. A monday to friday job is a good answer for what do you do. <i style="box-sizing: inherit;">There is no point divulging important information when you are all alone in an unknown location.</i></div>

Normally, three to four thousand rupees is a good amount to have. A wallet can prove to be easy pickings for pickpockets. Keep everything separately and remember in a foolproof way where you have kept what. <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Fidgety people attract attention, you might become a soft target for someone</em>. Remember, not everybody you meet is a bad person. Never be afraid and keep your guts.</div>

“Travel as much as you can. As far as you can. As long as you can. Life’s not meant to be lived in one place” – This is the ideology of a Travelpreneur.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;"><u style="box-sizing: inherit;">TRAVELPRENEUR</u></span>, I recently came across this word, it’s a new word & sounded like whole new world in itself to me.

When you come across this word, a question might have popped in your head,” what is this new term all about?”, so this article will give you a clear cut definition of this brand-new term and help you become an ambassador of travelpreneurship.</div>

What is travelpreneurship and who is a travelpreneur?</h2>

First let me make you clear about the term travelpreneurship. It is a complicated word consisting of two terms travel and entrepreneurship. Travelprenuership is a location independent enterprise, which can be operated from any where in the globe with a laptop and good internet reception. In simple language, it can be defined as Art of making a living by traveling.</div>

A travelpreneur is someone that owns a profitable business that is NOT restricted to a certain location. Being Travelprenur is not everyone’s cup of tea, very few achieve this sort of enterprise. Formerly it was thought as an IMPOSSIBLE idea as How is it even possible to make a living from just traveling and enjoying life?</div>

TRAVELPRENEURSHIP is a very real phenomenon.</h3>

Here are a few things you need to tick off first.</h3>

<li style="box-sizing: inherit;">How reliant are you on selling a product/service face to face? Can you sell via the phone or a skype call?</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;">Does your business run off a recurring income (subscription) model? This is really important, because if you sales are slow one month, you don’t want to be stuck in a foreign country with no cash!</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit;">How much does your business need to earn before you can make the leap?</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Number 3 is the scariest of them all.</div>

I don’t suggest you go down the travelpreneur route, until you develop what I call an “Expense Habit”</div>

So what is an expense habit?</div>

Put it this way.</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
First off you need to figure out what it will cost you to live in your desired location each week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Include food, rent, any bills, etc. – make sure you are precise in your research.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Let’s say you discover you need to earn $300 a week.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
For the next 10 weeks, save that $300 week (or whatever the amount your research indicates).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
If you miss a week, you have to start over.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Once you can do this for 10 weeks straight, you would have developed an expense habit.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
You can now use your 10 weeks of savings to set yourself up in a new location of your choice (flights, travel expenses, etc.) and each week use the money you are accustomed to saving to cover your new expenses.</div>

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIGITAL NOMAD, FREELANCER AND TEAVELPRENEUR:</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
People get confused between travelpreneur, digital nomad and Freelancer ? So, I would like to make it clear about what is DIGITAL NOMAD? And what is FREELANCING?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Digital nomad is a person who have location independent business. It’s a remote work. They have contract with clients/ enterprise. It is not classical 9-5 jobs, where you have fixed income for the work. But in remote works you earn based on how much time you work.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Freelancing is not a business, it is working for some outsourcing jobs. Here you will have income based on the time spend on working, they don’t have any contract sort of job. Once the work is done you need to find another source to earn.</div>
<div class="medium-insert-images" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px;">

<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Now the difference between all the terms:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
There is a thin line of difference in digital nomad and travelpreneur as both are remote works. The major difference is,for travelpreneur travelling is passion and his life style, but for digital nomad it is a side product of his remote work.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
And freelancing is way different from the both, you might understand the thing. Firstly, it is not an enterprise. It is an outsourcing job.</div>

This is a bit complicated question, but I will make it short, simple and understandable.</div>

As I said earlier it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, you need to face many people from the society, they maybe your friends, family members. You should be confident and prepared for that.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Then comes the relationships,it is really hard to move away from the loved ones, you should make them understand that you are not abandoning them.</div>

Travelpreneurs are not just relaxing, there are such times when they need to work more than exploring to make the product or service delivered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
They need to stay awake for late night or should wake up around 3’o clock because of Time zones. They may be in different time zone and their clients are in different time zone and need to contact them. This is called time zone madness.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
If he don’t work for a week, he will have greater chance of losing his income for those days, this is worse in case of digital nomad or freelancer.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I dared a SOLO trip to MEGHALAYA, one of the most beautiful states of North East India endowed with incredible natural beauty. Well known for Cherapunjjee, the place which receives one of the maximum rainfalls in the world. Meghalaya offers wide lush green valleys, diversified hills, enormous waterfalls and fierce caves.<br />
<br />
Watch my entire journey of little less than a month from Delhi to hitchhiking across Meghalaya, to trekking to Double Decker Bridge and Rainbow Falls, to visiting Nohkalikai Falls, Seven Sister Falls, Dawki, Shnongpdeng, Krang Suri Falls, Jowai, Shillong, Cherrapunjee, Nongkhnum Island and then moving to Nagaland.<br />

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The inclined meadows, craggy terrains, astounding mountains and arrogant hills offer a vantage point for adventure activities – trekking, rock climbing, camping, skiing, snow boarding and Paragliding. The gurgling streams, brooks, and rivers invite you to river rafting, water skiing, and fishing/angling. The lush valley offers a great opportunity to play golf in the summers, while the same valley during the winters turn into the ice skating grounds for the adventure seekers like me . </em><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Houseboats are the floating hotels of this awe-inspiring holiday destination. Carved from sturdy yet light oak and walnut wood, these accommodations offers a unique experience. </em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The right time for Navyug express to reach Jammu Tawi station is 04.35PM. Mine was 5 hours late and I reached hotel at around 9.30PM. It started raining heavily that evening thus barring me from even take a walk down the streets. I made contract with the hotel I was staying in at Jammu that they were going to provide me a car for the entire upcoming journey and also hotels at all the places that I was going to stay starting from Katra. This facility of contracted tour is available at almost all places in Jammu. And this is a lot beneficial as it reduces all the burdens of hotel booking and car renting at such unknown places. Do opt for this and do not try to conduct everything on your own.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The morning started with Local sight seeing of Jammu which included a Kali Temple, a fish aquarium and a few other temples. Then we left for Patnitop, a beautiful hill station which falls in the Jammu Srinagar Highway. I’ve heard several people not visiting this beautiful hill station. It’s a request that don’t miss this hill station. And there are a few sight scenes as well which includes a beautiful park and a Nag temple. Don’t miss the Gol Gappas from that park of Patnitop. It’s chilling cold there. So don’t forget to pack a lot of woollens even if you are travelling in the month of May or June. By the evening I came back to Jammu and stayed in the same hotel. </em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">I left for Srinagar from Jammu early in the morning. It took almost 7-8 hours to reach Srinagar along the Highway. I reached at around 3.40 PM, took rest for an hour or so and then left for Dal Lake. This is useful as it saves a day. Already a lot of places are lined up to be seen from Srinagar. so I decided to save time and took a Shikara to visit the entire Dal Lake, the floating shops of shawls and woolens, of fruits and vegetables as well. The beauty of Dal Lake can’t be explained in words until you visit it. (*Make sure you bargain with the price of Shikara visit for an hour at the Dal Lake). </em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">After getting into the car & getting the download on our way around the city, I reached the Dal Lake & started with a peaceful & breezy boat ride on the Dal Lake on one of the shikaras, which was a good 1.5 hours spent in untouched green water plants growing all across the lake as I roved along, still waters of the lake surface that don’t ripple for hours on end. I just sat back on our shikaras with my eyes shut & floated along feeling the breeze gently whizzing past my ears everytime a light breeze blew into my faces, and saw the sun setting for the first time in Kashmir! The water surface on the lake was dotted with green algae, fungi & wild lotuses with no signs of waves or any splashes on the water! The calm of the lake was unreal, it could make one fall asleep in the wink of an eye & never wake up for hours on end! The interesting aspect of the Dal Lake is the floating markets there!</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Kashmir as a city is under severe poverty & is in need of income earning opportunities, which makes the Kashmir’s resort to making money at any instance! I was swamped with shikaras on the right & left selling silver jewelry & saffron, all through the lake ride. The hawkers were very street smart & extremely shrewd sales guys, who would not back down till they make a sale! The quality of artificial jewelry is commendable, considering the bracelets I purchased for my mother from the boat hawker! I soon rode past the famous Meena Bazaar on the Dal Lake which was infested with Kashmiri pashminas, shawls, woollens, accessories, jewellery, saffron etc.</em></div>

Day 5</h2>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Mughal Gardens -Nishat Bagh, </em>Srinagar</h2>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: justify;">
<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The next day, as Dilawar told me was packed with adventures, probably the most adventures in the journey so far all in one day! We headed for beautiful Mughal gardens – Nishath Bagh. Legend has it, that Mughal Gardens Nishat Bagh; Abode of Pleasure on the shore of the Dal Lake was built by Jehangir for his wife Empress Noor Jehan. It is one of the most vibrant and colourful tourist attractions I’ve seen at the Dal Lake. The garden has vast collection of dahlias, petunias, carnations, roses, sunflowers, lilies & other exotic flowers one can imagine that exist! </em><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">It had a huge influx of tourists & was packed all over the place. It seemed slogging like a favourite among tourists in Srinagar, with visitors in all age groups enjoying the blooms in various hues, lying down & relaxing on the lawns. This place is ideal for a lazy Sunday afternoon siesta, after a long week of hard work in the office! A garden like Mughal gardens would be a complete sell out in Mumbai, considering what few options of entertainment are available to people here!</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">I hurried back to the car for the fear of losing sight of my fellow travellers, only to mean to be the only one waiting in the Innova for them. </em><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">I sighted two carts of Kulfi and sweetmeats, and before you knew it I was busy gorging on a delicious pita kulfi with my fellow travellers & enjoying watching the Dal lake sunset.

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Getting back to hotel Royal Batoo was such a pleasure, that I never wanted our stay there to ever end! The hotel was a beautiful sigh to see, the lights, the decor & interiors in addition to the impeccable service of the staff! Our meal the last night we stayed was especially memorable owing to the fact that they had made this outstanding firni & main course, which has still stayed with me even now! I strongly recommend Kashmiri firni to anyone who travels to Kashmir as dessert without fail, in addition to Kahwa, as your trip is incomplete if you’ve not tasted this! I had a good laugh thinking of the good times</em> <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">I enjoyed at Dal lake on the trip until now & slept early that night as I had to leave for Pahalgam early next morning.</em></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em; text-align: justify;">
<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">I left for Pahalgam bringing an end to my Srinagar visit. It took 3 hours to reach Pahalgam from Srinagar. You will find plenty of hotels in Pahalgam, so there won’t be any problem in hotel booking. But if you want to remain secure, you can book rooms beforehand. After rest of a few hours, I left for local sight seeing. Well, the local seeing can’t be done by any car or so. Only horses take tourists up those hills.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Around 7-8 spots are there up the mountains where the horses along with their keepers take you. Mini Switzerland as they call it-is a really beautiful spot where you will believe to have reached heaven. Another spot is a place from where you can see the entire Pahalgam city. It rained that evening and nothing other than resting at hotel was possible. In case of food, a few restaurants are there including a few Vegeterian hotels which can provide you with satisfactory food.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The next morning I left for the Pahalgam sight seeing which includes 3 valleys–Betaab Valley, Chandan wari and Aru Valley. Well here I would like to mention that if you are making the entire Kashmir tour in a Hired car right from Jammu that would again leave you back in Jammu just like I did, this car won’t take you to those 3 valleys. But you can easily rent private cars to take you there. Firstly I visited Betaab Valley, Encircled by mountains featuring deodar and pine forests, Betaab Valley is a perfect gateway to enjoy the heavenly pleasure of Mother Nature. The sights of colourful beds of flowers amidst the lush walnut and willow vistas make the entire panorama quite stunning casting a spell of magic on this land of eternal beauty. Being a precious jewel of Jammu and Kashmir tourism, Betaab Valley is amongst a handful of Pahalgam tourist places to visit that should not be missed., then chandan Wari- where you can go up the snow with sticks and gum boots which you have to hire from the local shops there and Chandan Wari is the place from where the Ammarnath Yatra starts every year during a particular period, and lastly we visited the Lidder Valley where you can find many shops and carry out your shopping from there if you desire. Dats all. The evening included shopping of woollens from Pahalgam.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">The other tourist attractions are Baisaran. Often dubbed as <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">‘Mini Switzerland’</span> because of its long dark meadows resembling the ones in Switzerland, Baisaran is an eye-catching meadow, located just 5 km away from Pahalgam. The dense pine forest that gives the green carpet look to the meadow provides a contrasting hue to snow-capped peaks of the surrounding mountains. A major tourist place to visit in Pahalgam, a voyage to the meadow is truly a treat for the senses. Additionally, Baisaran is also an ideal campsite for trekkers who want to move further up to Tulian Lake. Accessible through ponies from Pahalgam, this off-beaten track of Jammu and Kashmir tourism offers panoramic sights of the town and Lidder Valley.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Once the tour of Pahalgam was done that night, I retired for the night after a hearty meal & along conversation with fellow traveller. I were ready to depart for Gulmarg the next day & I was set for a new adventure to start! Better known as the meadow of flowers, Gulmarg is a town, a hill station & a popular skiing destination and a notified area committee in the Baramula district of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Gulmarg isn’t at a long distance from Pahalgam. So you can leave a bit late after your breakfast. In the cases of both Soanmarg and Gulmarg Roadside dhabas are available for breakfast in case you leave too early in the morning. The day I left for Gulmarg was a rainy day and it was way too cold. The road to Gulmarg is something I will cherish for the rest of my life. It’s full of tall trees all around. After reaching Gulmarg I rushed into a roadside dhaba- you will find several there and got our hands and legs warmed as they had become numb from the extreme cold. I had Maggi there to relieve myself. There are several shawl shops, woollen shops etc all around. You will enjoy that small market. In Gulmarg, horses are available as they take you somewhere up the hills for seeing the entire beautiful place. A temple is also there for which one has to climb around 200 stairs. The clouds in Gulmarg are always just above your head.It’s really fun as you can touch the clouds.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Gulmarg lies in a cup shaped valley in the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas, at an altitude of 2,650 m (8,694 ft), 56 km from Srinagar. The natural meadows of Gulmarg, which are covered with snow in winter, allow the growth of wild flowers such as daisies, forget-me-nots and butter cups during spring and summer. The meadows are interspersed by enclosed parks and small lakes, and surrounded by forests of green pine and fir. Skiing and other winter sports in Gulmarg are carried out on the slopes of Apharwat peak at a height of 4,267 m (13,999 ft). Many points on Apharwat peak and Khilanmarg offer a panoramic view of Nanga Parbat and harmukh mountains.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Dilawar, the driver for the trip advised me to stay indoors taking into account the climate in Gulmarg, which was -5 degrees. I checked into the hotel & realized how biting the cold was when I entered my rooms! One peculiar thing about the hotel I was staying in at Gulmarg was, it had no guests staying there except for just 1 couple from Chattisgarh & the hotel rooms had no tube lights, only low watt bulbs, which spooked the daylights out of me ! I had no room heater, bed heater, warm water nor did I had decent lights in my room, but the service was Excellent. The hotel staff quickly made the arrangements for me to ensure I am comfortable. But Gulmarg way the only place in the entire Kashmir trip that gave me a sad & spooky feeling, I still couldn’t put a finger on it & say why! I walked around the hotel & chatted with the hotel waiters & more so with 2 young boys in their 20’s. I was shocked to learn they only earn Rs.50 per day & are running their homes on the money! They are also victims of the militancy in Kashmir & are exceedingly unhappy with their lives. The mentor & adviser in me always shows up during times like this & I started giving them suggestions on moving to other state or leaving Kashmir forever, to which their reasons for not being able to do so was unbearably sad!</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Built by the French company Pomagalski, the Gulmarg Gondola is one of the highest in the world reaching 3,979 metres. The two-stage rope way ferries about 600 people per hour to and from Gulmarg to a shoulder of nearby Mt. Apharwat Summit (4,200 m (13,780 ft)). The first stage transfers from Gulmarg at 2,600 m (8,530 ft) to Kongdoori at 3,080 m. The second stage which has 36 cabins and 18 towers, takes passengers to a height of 3,950 m (12,959 ft) on the Apharwat Peak (4,200 m (13,780 ft)). A chair lift system connects Kongdoori with Mary’s shoulder for taking skiers to higher altitude. The high inflow of tourists has had an effect on the fragile eco-system of Gulmarg and activists have demanded tightened regulation to save the environment of the area from over tourism.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">I was taken to a Gondola resort with a long wait for about 2 hours too get out turn to ride. The gondolas were being zipped around on cables with tourists jumping in every 2 minutes, for fear of losing their seat. The guides were also rushing in with them, almost trying to reassure them that they will not be left behind as they have to collect their fee after the ride is done! Once in our gondola began moving smoothly on the steel cable suspended thousands of feet above ground level on, up there! I had mixed feelings, I was unable to fathom I was that high in an instant, it felt unreal! The cable hung on stubbornly to its iron support on air & it kept me safe up there, as I looked down in amazement at the wonder at the vast expanse of greenery of Gumlarg! No matter how many words I pen down on the experience, it is inexplicable – it can only be experienced! The rest of the time spent at the gondola area was relaxed, as I walked around the vast golf course land of the Gulmarg. Situated at an altitude of 2,650 m, it is the highest green golf course in the world. The historic Gulmarg Golf Club was started in 1911 by the British who used the place as a holiday resort. And if that’s not enough, many Bollywood films like Bobby, Jab Tak Hain Jaan, Yeh Jawaani Hain Deewani, Highway, Phantom & Haider have been shot here.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Having enjoyed my Gondola ride & paid the guide an unjustifiable fee I also tried skiing for an hour which was altogether a different experience which i have already shared with you guys in my previous blogs. I then headed back to my hotel to retire for the day! There was this one part of the day that was the worst in Gulmarg & it was mealtimes. The meal served there was of such bad quality, I used to get horrified at the thought of eating there! The food was cold, tasteless & badly cooked, but I never wanted to create a noise about it with the hotel staff considering their situations at that time!

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">I was sad to be leaving Gulmarg the next day, not for one but for many reasons! Dilwar drove up with his effervescent smile & easy demeanour to pick me & drive up to next destination. After tipping them a huge amount, I proceeded for Srinagar again.</em></div>

Rest Day in Srinagar</h2>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">This time around Srinagar was outstanding, as I checked into Hotel Royal Batoo. This is one of the star properties of Kashmir & has the best facilities & services Srinagar has to offer. I was impressed with the well dressed & groomed hotel staff, attentive waiters & the decor of the hotel lobby. The one thing that struck my hard when I entered Royal Batoo was the sofas on the lobby, there were pure silk & the cushion covers were silver & gold colored with beads & studs on them! This may look to be insignificant, but to a traveller who’s just entering a good property after staying in shoddy hotels like the one I did in Gulmarg, anything after that would seem paradise! Checking into Royal Batoo was the best thing that could have happened to me ever since I left Mumbai!</em></div>

I had a sumptuous buffet at the dining area packed with Kashmir delicacies & sweetmeats, after which I headed stayed up all night chatting about my experiences until that day on the vacation!

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">From Ardh Quary or half the total road distance,i.e. 7kms you can opt for battery driven autos which are available only during the day time.Also from here you can take horses.I reached Vaishno Devi Temple at around 1:15AM after 5 hour walk. After having the Darshan of Vaishno Devi, I started walking down at around 3:00 AM and reached Katra at around 7:00 AM in the morning. Rested for the rest of the day. In Katra, only veg food is available–be it South Indian food or plain rice with daal and veggies, you will find plenty of hotels for it.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">I would like to say </em><em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Am not ending this blog on a sentimental note & distributing philosophical information on life, but on a more practical note stating that travel is anon negotiable aspect of one’s life; we must take that annual vacation every year to our favourite place. We must invest in “me time” away from our frustrations & chaos of daily lives, it’s crucial to travel alone when we need time to sort things out & need time away from the predictable. The things a holiday does to your mind & overall well being is incomparable to any spa treatment of visits to the salon. On returning from this holiday I can safely say I feel better, more positive & clearer in my head about things and ready to take that one crucial decision I’ve been keeping on the back burner for ages now.</em></div>

<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">So go ahead, take that vacation, go solo, and make an impromptu decision to travel today! It can change your life! Experience it to understand it. Happy travels!</em></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I don’t really need movies to inspire wanderlust in me. But, there are times when a good flick is required to lift my mood. Because for me, to watch a 120-minute something drama is to enter into a world created by someone else.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Though the list of my favorite movies is endless but the top <strong>5</strong>, in no particular order, are as below –</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

It takes you to: Alaska</h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Lesson: Experiences, good and bad, make you who you are.</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Maybe a cliched choice, but who can deny falling for this movie? Music, Acting, Cinematography, Direction – everything is perfect! It can be your all time favorite movie. A true story of young graduate Chris McCandless. After graduating with honors he donated all his $25,000 savings to charity and drives away with his car without telling anyone where he is going. Further he went to Alsaka to live there, he learned everything for survival lived in Alaska and finally died there. How well I connect with this work of art can’t be expressed. I kind of resonate with the story line too. I may not have eluded the society, but I have cut the strings of materialism to some extent, thanks to mountains.</div>

It always motivates me to pack my bag and hit the road.. kyunki dilon mein apne betaabiyan le ka chal rahe ho, to zinda ho tum ????</div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>‘A book lets you travel around the world without moving an inch’</strong></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I completely second this statement but I have rarely come across people reading books that will make them get out of their comfort zone, the realms of their imagination and experience their life on the road. If you have gone through my website, you’ll know that I am mostly on the road with the <strong>least money to spend</strong> (neither I have it nor I focus on having it) 😀</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been asked many times where I get this motivation from, so let me share my secret, it is ;</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">My undying love for people of far off places I have not met and will meet with each of my explorations</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Books that inspire me to travel</li>
</ul>
And because I look forward to seeing each one of you leave that couch and embark on a journey to the unknown, here is a list of my favorite Travel-Inspiration books.<br />

<strong>Think Everest</strong><br />by Anita Karwal and Atul Karwal</div>

A book that will make you feel like you are scaling Mt. Everest. A book that teaches you about willpower and determination.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me set one thing straight, I hated the movie, but I loved the book.The Beach captures what travel was like in Thailand way back in the 1990's.We traveled to Thailand for the first time in 2000 and it was pretty much like it was described in the book.There were still undiscovered coves and beaches and there were probably several drug kingpins running the land. The Beach is a great adventure.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<strong>An Overview Of Rishikesh</strong></h2>
<div>
Rishikesh is pretty much nestled across its two pedestrian bridges – Lakshman Jhula and Ram Jhula – which connect the eastern and the western sides of the city.<br />
If you’re looking for a place away from any movement and where you apparently hear nothing but the sound of the gushing river during the night, then consider staying close to Lakshman Jhula. Ram Jhula, on the other hand, is in the close proximity to some of the most popular Hindu Temples and Ashrams (including the famous Beatles Ashram) and is, therefore, more favoured by the Indian tourists. From these bridges, Rishikesh wends its way along both banks of the river, at the bottom of a narrow valley. The east side is almost free of car traffic, and a walk from Ram Jula to Lakshman Jula takes about an hour and passes through many sadhu huts, parks, and scores of small shops.</div>

Unusually for me, I had little in the way of a plan. I’d searched for ashrams and yoga retreats for hours and become overwhelmed by options. So I abandoned planning completely and just booked my first night at a Zostel on the Tapovan side of Rishikesh.<br />
If you like a bit of peace and quiet and have travelled to Uttarakhand in search of space to reflect, I highly recommend staying in Tapovan – or further out – rather than in Laxman Jhula, which can get a little noisy. As for finding things to do in Rishikesh – from my experience, here, things will generally find you. Taking a quiet stroll to soak up the Ganges air, will inevitably lead you into conversations with strangers, music on ghats by the river and more. For the action driven – Rishikesh offers white water rafting and hiking opportunities a-plenty.<br />
I was happy I chose to stay on this side of the bridge, about 15 minutes walk from Laxman Jhula and the main market drag. Tapovan was quieter, relaxed, but still with plenty of places to enjoy a chai or join a yoga class.<br />

<br />
Shiv Shakti is the best hostel in town, and it’s in the backpacker area, Lakshman Jhula, so you will find affordable eats nearby. Although many people come for the ashrams, if you’re passing through you can still practice yoga and meditate from the many hotels. Rishikesh Valley Hotel is the eco-friendly option with wooden huts and great sustainable choice. Atali Ganga Cottages has the best views in town, and Ganga Kinare Boutique Hotel is the best all-around mid-range and convenient option.<br />

Tips for Finding an Ashram in Rishikesh.</h3>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
To reduce the number of options available to you, you can start by asking the following questions:<br />
<ul>
<li>How long do you want to stay for? Some Ashrams are open for shorter stays (3-7 days, others only accept those staying for longer)</li>
<li>Do you want to focus on Yoga or a Yoga Teacher Training course? Some ‘Ashrams’ are more like Yoga Teacher Training Centres, while other Ashrams do not offer yoga at all – think about how much yoga (asana) you want to practise and look for Ashrams that offer this</li>
<li>Do you prefer to be surrounded by people or in a smaller Ashram?</li>
<li>Are you looking for an Ashram with a rigid schedule, or do you want more time to yourself?</li>
<li>Don’t forget to book well in advance – Ashrams are not usually set up for ‘walk-ins’ and many popular Ashrams get booked up.</li>
</ul>

I fell in love with Rishikesh.<br />
Partly I fell in love with the place: the mountains, the rushing river, the warm sun against the crisp winter air. After the bustle of the desert cities of Rajasthan, Rishikesh felt like a haven of peace.<br />
The air is cleaner, the sun is purer, and people seem relaxed. In Rishikesh I am sure there is the occasional less-than-authentic sadhu, but during my 10 days there I experienced no hassle. Rishikesh seemed generally safe too, although if walking alone after dark do avoid isolated and un-lit areas, and keep your wits about you.<br />
But I also fell in love with how I felt there. There’s something in the air – I found – that gets to you. Maybe it was the daily yoga, maybe it was the spray from the Ganges. Maybe it was the magic of the meditation hall at Aurovalley. All I know is that I felt more relaxed and at peace than I can remember feeling for a long time.<br />
And it’s that feeling that will bring me back here on future adventures.</div>

<div class="left_blog_details">
Indeed the Beatles were successful in putting words to the feelings that one gets in fascinating Rishikesh. The emerald green water, the equally green hills and the shimmering white sand. I thought only Goa could spur such magic but I was completely wrong.<br />
<img alt="Chaurasi-Kutiya-The-Beatles-Ashram-Rishikesh-Uttrakhand-The-Backpackers-Group-Cover" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-434" height="340" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/chaurasi-kutiya-the-beatles-ashram-rishikesh-uttrakhand-the-backpackers-group-cover.jpg" width="700" /><br />
Rishikesh is essentially the first place that the sacred Ganges River exits the mountains and enters the plains of India. In the high mountains, the water travels through forests and remains in clear glory. At this part of the river, nothing of the slush to come is visible. The Ganges’ poor reputation is well deserved once it reaches Varanasi, where riverside cremations and funeral pyres create a thick, polluted river that flows into the rest of the country.<br />
<img alt="6" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-406" height="3264" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/6.jpg" width="2448" /><br />
As an avid India traveler who has covered 16 states in about 3 years of travel (spread over 12 years), I am often asked, “Where is your favorite place?” I always find it tough to answer as I have a LOT of favorite places. Usually, my answer will depend on my mood. With this blog, I am answering the question one favourite place at a time — starting with a small town in north India called "Rishikesh" I find Rishikesh a deceptively powerful place. Its robust, pristine nature, and the fact that it is probably the most easily accessible place in the Himalayas, from the capital city of New Delhi, makes it a fairly beatable tourist destination in the entire Himalayas. A 6-hour journey in a public bus and you find yourself being rejuvenated by the incense wafts on one its many Ganga ghats. The vibe here is both relaxed and reverent. Temple bells ring incessantly, giving almost a musical healing therapy to your ears. The ubiquitous, charming company of yogis, and the never-dying incense wafts in its breeze is nonetheless, always a plus.<br />
[gallery ids="408" type="rectangular"]<br />
There is a feeling in Rishikesh unlike anywhere else. The vibe is both relaxed and reverent — and consequently attracts genuine Hindu devotees and gurus as well as western hippies and spiritual dilettantes. While some may ascribe the increasing popularity of Rishikesh to the booming worldwide interest in yoga, in fact people have been gathering at this confluence of nature since the dawn of time to pray, meditate, chant and imbue the peaceful valley with eons of sacred energy. It’s a deceptively powerful place.<br />
<img alt="way to beatles ashram" class=" size-full wp-image-378 aligncenter" height="560" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/way-to-beatles-ashram.jpg" width="840" /></div>
My favourite spot in Rishiskesh is at the quiet north end, where the sea-green river spills out of the mountains. White sand beaches line the banks, an occasional cow wanders by, and locals, yoga students and hippies gather in small groups to bathe in the chilly, fresh water of India’s most sacred river.<br />
<img alt="rishikesh_lakshman_jhula" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-425" height="720" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/rishikesh_lakshman_jhula.jpg" width="960" /><br />
Just below is the first of two great pedestrian bridges that span the mighty river. Lakshman Jhula is the smaller bridge, but still it teems with foot traffic, scooters and monkeys. Cafes on both sides overlook the river and one of the most scenic spots in town. From here, Rishikesh wends its way along both banks of the river, at the bottom of a narrow valley. The east side is almost free of car traffic, and a walk from end to end takes about an hour, and passes sadhu huts, parks, and scores of small shops and stalls selling cotton clothes, gems, spiritual souvenirs, Hindu religious icons and snacks.<br />
<img alt="IMG_9081" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-410" height="3264" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_9081.jpg" width="2448" /><br />
By the time you get to the other bridge, the big one, Ram Jhula, you are in the thick of the busiest part of Rishikesh. Sprawling ashrams, bustling restaurants, busy temples and statues depicting scenes from Hindu epics and the Bhagavad Gita abound.<br />
<img alt="sadhu baba" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-426" height="510" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/sadhu-baba.jpg" width="825" /><br />
*According to <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/india/uttarakhand-uttaranchal/rishikesh" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Lonely Planet</a>, Rishikesh is one of the most famous destination for international tourism planning a trip to India. Travel to this town and you’ll feel it’s high energy! Rishikesh is divided into two main areas: the crowded and very lively Rishikesh town, where the local bus and train stations are situated and also the popular <b>Triveni Ghat</b> (a popular travel destination, an auspicious bathing ghat and place of prayer on the Ganges), and the riverside communities that are 2 km upstream around Ram Jhula and Lakshman Jhula, where most of the accommodation, <em>ashrams</em>, restaurants and travelers are ensconced. <b>Swarg Ashram</b>, located on the eastern bank, is the traffic-free ‘<i>spiritual center</i>’ of Rishikesh, while <b>High Bank</b>, west of Lakshman Jhula, is a small enclave popular with backpackers.<br />

It is at this end, near the huge Parmath Niketan ashram, where the nightly <em>aarti</em>(spiritual ritual) takes place at dusk on the <em>ghats</em> (steps), in front of a massive white statute of Shiva in meditation pose. It is an exciting event to take part in: pandits chant and wave oil lamps as the sun sets, and after dark everyone is invited to release small offerings — little “boats” made of flowers and leaves, containing a candle and incense stick — on the strong currents of the black river.<img alt="Rishikesh1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-380" height="600" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/rishikesh1.jpeg" width="800" /><br />
Rishikesh has something to offer for everyone – from those looking for a month-long yoga vacation to the less fortunate, time bounded, adventure seekers. Well, there’s a feeling in Rishikesh unlike anywhere else, and it draws you in.<br />
<img alt="3" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-435" height="2448" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/3.jpg" width="3264" /><br />
So, Here is How I spent my 5 days in the Yoga Capital of the World ?<br />
<img alt="itinerary-day1" class=" size-full wp-image-401 aligncenter" height="139" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/itinerary-day1.png" width="1240" /><br />
With excitement, curiosity and a fascination for all things beautiful, I embarked on a six hour trip from Delhi to Rishikesh. My aim was to explore the place at my own pace without rushing into things.<img alt="zostel" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-381" height="800" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/zostel1.jpg" width="1037" /><br />
I had planned this trip on a shoestring budget and hence did not want to spend a bomb on accommodation. A friend from Delhi had told me about a recently opened hostel there called Zostel. As soon I reached Rishikesh bus stop I started exploring the lanes of rishikesh, getting the spiritual vibes of holy river Ganga flowing by and moved towards tapovan where the hostel is located. On reaching Tapovan I called up the number available on the website and was guided to the hostel. It is located at a convenient place, quite close to the Laxman jhula. It is a cosy, beautiful property, ideal for budget travelers. I was happy to see the concept of backpackers’ hostel and social travel catching up so fast in India. I took a room in their mixed dorm, kept my luggage in one of the lockers and went out to explore the town. After a long journey, I was fairly hungry and wanted to eat at one of the riverside cafes which Rishikesh is quite famous for. The guy at the counter at Zostel told me about a few of them close to the Laxman Jhula.<br />
<img alt="IMG_0179" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-436" height="2448" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_0179.jpg" width="3264" /><br />
So I walked to a cafe called ‘The Office”, that serves the best banana nutella samosas in the entire town, and possibly in the entire state. I had an entire evening to spend, so I decided to sit and read at the Ganga Beach Cafe, which, as the name suggests, is a cozy little place on the banks of river Ganga and then attended Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan<br />
<img alt="IMG_0042" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-412" height="1280" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_0042.jpg" width="960" /><br />
For my very first day in Rishikesh, I happily wandered the town, relaxed in cafe with with river view and caught up on blogging. In evening I attended the Ganga Aarti at Parmeth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh. This is the largest and best known Ashram in the area – set on the banks of the holy river. It accommodates up to 2,000 people at any one time. The Ganga Aarti were beautiful if somewhat marred by the many visitors who it seemed had come predominantly to take photos as opposed to soak up the atmosphere and appreciate the rituals.<br />
<img alt="IMG_E8837" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-427" height="3264" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_e8837.jpg" width="2448" /><br />
<img alt="itinerary-day2" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-402" height="139" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/itinerary-day2.png" width="1240" /><br />
My second day at the place deserved to be an adventurous one and so I decided to try my hand at the sport Rishikesh is known for- rafting. Few Travelers I met there had helped me with all the details and I’d managed to find myself a trainer.<br />
<img alt="7" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-413" height="2000" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/7.jpg" width="2000" /><br />
At 9 in the morning, I found myself at the rafting site staring at the gushing waters and waiting eagerly to meet them. There, I met Tom an expert rafter who would also be my trainer. He told me that we would cover a total distance of 26kms in approximately 4 hours. He taught me some basic signs, which I was supposed to use in case I wanted to communicate with him while rafting. I, along with eight other people, all of them strangers, went on an adventure of a lifetime. As we kept tossing over the white waters, I came into close contact with the power and might of nature that made me revere it even more. During the entire trip we came across several rapids such as Good morning, Three Blind Mice, Crossfire and Club House (as identified by Tom). At many points during the session we felt that our raft would turn upside-down but thanks to Tom’s decisiveness and our meticulous following of instructions, nothing unfortunate happened.<br />
<img alt="river-rafting_bgjy1a" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-415" height="683" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/river-rafting_bgjy1a1.jpg" width="910" /><br />
Tom was an amazing instructor, a rockstar, but he spoke very little. And I am a curious person , so I pestered him to no extent and after much prodding he gave in. I learned that he was basically from England and had been living in India for three months then. He has rafted around the world, in some challenging spots like Zambezi, where getting down from your raft abruptly meant sure-shot death. And then I realized, he too, like Siddhartha from the book I was reading, has a definite goal in mind, and that goal is to stretch his boundaries to the farthest point. It takes courage to get out of your comfort zone and explore dangerous terrains especially when most of the people around you are totally smug and satisfied in the sheltered life they are leading.<br />

The day was physically tiring and my mind was almost saturated with a lot of things. I did not have much energy left to do anything else, so I decided to eat at the <b>Little Buddha Cafe</b>, and it was jam packed with international traveler. This is a pretty, tree-house themed restaurant with a lounge-like vibe – but can get very hot in summers because it is open with no fans or air conditioning. I did manage to get a table, but this place is only worth the wait if you get one of the three / four tables right by the edge of the terrace – overlooking the Ganga. Those are splendid!<img alt="1527054354_1527053398_cafe" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-382" height="720" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/1527054354_1527053398_cafe.jpg" width="960" /><br />
The food at <b>Little Buddha Cafe </b>was pretty average according to me, but then, it is catered for foreign tourists who travel across the town and are the regulars here. Their menu has a variety of dishes like three cheese Salads, bland (VERY bland) nachos and other non-spicy food items that seemed to be a hit. The vegetable platter is famous. Shakes are good, and the staff is friendly. The service though, is slow. I had a light lunch and then went back to Zostel to rest. Once I woke up, I decided to leave to Hill Top Swiss Cottage which i booked for my stay for my further in this city with the hill top view. I had my dinner and After that, I went to the terrace for an impromptu jamming session with the travelers staying there for more than a month. After two hours of continuous dancing and singing, we all were tired and went back to our respective cottages to sleep. I had yet another day in this beautiful place to look forward to.<br />

Ever woke up to the sound of cascading waters? Imagine the chilly breeze kissing your cheeks, you endlessly gazing at trees swaying by with rhythm of chirping birds, tiny splashes of water touching your face now and then and of course the calmly dawning sun. The peace and the connect you feel with your spirit in the moment cannot be described into words here. With the basking sun spanning the horizon and shining on us, the next morning I woke up and spent time in the river playing like kids in the splashing water, snapping some memories and enjoying.<br />
<img alt="IMG_9265" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-417" height="3264" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_9265.jpg" width="2448" /><br />
It seemed as if the place was awaiting our presence when the weather took a toss and the scorching heat turned away its face and drizzles trickled down. After satisfying our tummies and relaxing for some time, we tucked into our trek suits to make way for a short trek to Neergarh Waterfall. Where first 2 kms were just a simple walk crossing the camps and striding on narrow side paths, next 1.5 kms were steep and little hard but the ultimate destination kept our spirits high. Paving our way through camps, steep cuts and turns, twists and jumps, stepping the stones and climbing the rocks, cutting through the lush emerald green hills, we finally witnessed the elegance of nature.<img alt="IMG_9732" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-437" height="1280" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_9732.jpg" width="960" /><br />
We knew we had made it to our destination when the distant sound of water gushing down the hills became clear with each step forward. The excitement and the satisfaction of reaching the final trek point, NeerGarh Waterfalls, bought a deep smile on our faces. Neer Gaddu Waterfall is around 4 km from Laxman Jhula, and about 6 km from the Rishikesh main market. From the Rishikesh Badrinath Highway, there is small hilly trek to reach Neer Gaddu Waterfall.<br />
<img alt="5" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-418" height="2448" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/5.jpg" width="3264" /><br />
On the way back to hotel from waterfall Ashish took us to Bhootnath temple *Mahadev temple to be precise that she asserted the most beautiful and peaceful temple nearby and the best thing was you could capture the whole city from here. True!! You could see the whole ways from here, what I found about this temple is that it had become commercial as it was written that move to next floor for this specific god. Quite funny but learned to never mess with God matters so kept silent. The voice of bells was echoing as I touched it. Still, that kid in me to touch the bell and ring it as many of times as I could were alive. On the rooftop, alluring landscape was representing Rishikesh in a picture. and then We went back to the Ramjhula and sat close to a beach. Did crazy stuff like laying on the stone, posing to the camera so comfortable that nobody is watching us.<img alt="IMG_9590" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-438" height="3264" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_9590.jpg" width="2448" /><br />

<img alt="itinerary-day4" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-404" height="139" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/itinerary-day4.png" width="1240" /><br />
I woke up early to give a treat of fresh breeze to my lungs. I walked down to the ghat to have a closer feel of the morning waft. The wind was blowing at much higher speed than I thought. I saw many orange clad sadhus who had nestled themselves some corners on the open ghat last night were performing their daily chores. Some were taking baths in frosty Ganga water while some were enchanting some mantras and simultaneously cleaning the ghat.<br />
<img alt="1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-419" height="2000" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/1.jpg" width="2000" /><br />
I went down on the steps till the water kissed my feet. I parked myself on one of the steps with my feet in water for some time but it was so chill that I had to take them out after few seconds. I spent some time silently adoring the quietude of the surroundings and incessantly travelling river. I looked around for the giant Lord Shiva statue in middle of the river but soon the memories of last year catastrophe which wiped away the certain towns and the statue too grabbed my muse. But I guess people have moved on and the place was returning to its pre-catastrophe charm again.<br />
<img alt="IMG_9183" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-420" height="1280" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_9183.jpg" width="960" /><br />
Soon after that I hired a shared cab to <strong>Neelkanth Mandir</strong>, around 35 Kms from Rishikesh. Neelkanth Mahadev Temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Neelkanth(<strong>Lord Shiva</strong>). The temple is situated at a height of 1330 meters. The entire way to the Neelkanth Mahadev Temple was treat to eyes . it took us 2 hour to offer the prayer as it was very crowded. It was getting dark and we were tired so, we decided to go back to our hotel early and take some rest as the last day in Rishikesh was going to be hectic.<br />
<img alt="IMG_0312" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-428" height="1280" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_0312.jpg" width="960" /><br />
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Last Day</h3>
This day was dedicated to the Beatles. You cannot come to Rishikesh and not visit the Beatles Ashram, especially if you love music. Beatles had visited Rishikesh in 1968 to learn ‘Transcendental Meditation”- which obviously sounds fancy enough to lure them into coming to an obscure place in the Himalayas and settling here for months. After breakfast comprising of milk, fruits and muesli, I went all the way to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Ashram or the Beatles’ Ashram as it is more popularly known, situated at the foothills of Himalayas. <img alt="Rishikesh-2" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-383" height="600" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/rishikesh-2.jpeg" width="800" /><br />
Once there, I realized, one of my favorite Beatles’ song were written in Rishikesh. It goes like this-<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>"Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter</em><br />
<em>Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here</em><br />
<em>Here comes the sun</em><br />
<em>Here comes the sun, and I say</em><br />
<em>It's all right"</em></div>
<img alt="Beatles-Cathedral-Altar-close-up-1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-439" height="2592" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/beatles-cathedral-altar-close-up-1.jpg" width="4608" /><br />
And I couldn’t stop myself from humming- doo doo doo doo doo doo! Coming to this place and not humming a Beatles song is sacrilegious. You should never do that else you might end up offending the hippie gods!<br />
Ok, I was kidding all right, but this does make a great story- pay homage to Beatles at their Ashram and bless your soul!<br />
<img alt="Rishikesh-6" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-422" height="531" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/rishikesh-6.jpeg" width="800" /><br />
Not much of the aforementioned Ashram remains except a wall with amazing graffiti, which was the Beatles gallery once. One thing worth noting is that the Ashram closed down way back in the 90s, but usually the guards are sweet enough to let you in.<br />
<img alt="IMG_9197" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-429" height="3264" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_9197.jpg" width="2448" /><br />
Next I visited the Swarg Ashram, which lies at the ‘ground zero’ of Rishikesh and is known for providing free courses on Yoga and meditation. I decided to do a bit of both. Yoga, as an ancient art form, has many takers all around the world, and this Ashram also was filled with more foreigners than Indians. The entire atmosphere was energetic yet peaceful, something I had not experienced in a long time.<br />
<img alt="IMG_9203" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-430" height="2448" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_9203.jpg" width="3264" /><br />
After trying my hand at Yoga and chanting a few ‘Oms’ amidst stunning backdrop of rolling mountains, I realized my stomach was rumbling and I needed to grab a bite before doing anything else.<br />
<img alt="" src="https://s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/zo-media/blog_photo/old/image02.jpg" /><br />
On my way to Lakshman Jhula, I discovered an amazing café called Café Beatles. It was great, the food was great and so was the ambience. And the music, well it was the Beatles’.<br />
<img alt="IMG_0462" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-431" height="2448" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_0462.jpg" width="3264" /><br />
Yes, it was an eventful day, after which I went back to Hill Top Swiss Cottage for yet another evening filled with fun, music and some of the best people I have ever met. It was my last night at Rishikesh, and I had to make it count. We sang, danced and talked till morning, after which I bade them farewell, hoping to meet them sometime soon in future.<br />
After all ‘hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies’.<br />
<img alt="IMG_0469" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-440" height="2448" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/09/img_0469.jpg" width="3264" /><br />
My days in Rishikesh were phenomenal. It was a journey that enriched me from within and made me look at the world with a totally different perspective. I realized there is so much to live for, so much to explore. My problems and worries suddenly turned miniscule in comparison to the wonders of this world. I am still a long way to go before I become a seasoned traveler but the seeds have been sown and the process has begun. I am falling in love with the world and its quirks.<br />
May be this is what enticed the Beatles into entering an uncertain world of spirituality.<br />

I had every intention of taking advantage of all the adventure activities Rishikesh, India has on offer. Rafting, camping, rappelling, hiking, bungee jumping – not to mention, it’s the yoga capital of the WORLD. With a sizable offering of active endeavors, it’s so easy to keep busy there.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
But during my 5 days in Rishikesh, in uncharacteristic form, I clocked in with a grand total of *zero* of these activities! All I wanted to do was decompress after a week of pure chaos in Mumbai. So I chilled out. I fell into a routine of sleeping 10 hours a night, maybe starting off my day with a yoga class if I woke up in time, having a leisurely brunch with new friends, and then wandering around all afternoon.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">RIshikesh was a breath of fresh air – literally and figuratively.</b> There, I was able to soak up the beautiful scenery and rejuvenate myself before continuing on with my journey through India.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you’re in the mood to relax and take a break from adventure travel, here are 5 ways to chill out in Rishikesh:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="rishikesh india" src="http://frugalfrolicker.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/wpid1275-rishikesh-india-1.jpg" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="rishikesh india" width="765px" /></div>
<h2 style="border: 0px; color: #349cb9; font-family: Lato; font-size: 22px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 35px 0px 14px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;">
1. YOGA, YOGA, YOGA</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Rishikesh is practically synonymous with yoga. You can’t walk down a single street without being bombarded with signs for yoga classes. Hatha yoga is the traditional form practiced in India, but others such as iyengar and ashtanga yoga are also on offer. Normally classes are held around 8:30am and 5:00pm every day and are 1.5 hours long (and often they run over, so they end up being nearly 2 hours long).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you’re a beginner or a casual yoga do-er, you’d probably be fine dropping in on any beginner or open level yoga class. If you’re more serious about your practice, your best bet is to talk to other travelers (ideally those who are in Rishikesh for <u>weeks</u> practicing yoga – there are MANY who do just this!) and see if they can recommend any good classes in town. Some instructors are so popular that you should get to class super early to ensure your spot!</div>

1b. Meditate</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Almost as prevalent as yoga classes, you can complement your yoga routine with some meditation classes in Rishikesh. (I did not take any meditation classes, so I can’t speak much to them!)</div>

2. CAFE HOPPING</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Cafe hopping is one of my favorite activities in general, so I’m always looking to practice it whenever I travel. Rishikesh has all sorts of cafes set along the river, so you could hop around to several different ones and sample the varying drinks and views of the Ganges. Most of them even have free wifi, which was perfect for getting work done (i.e. writing for this blog!).</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
My favorite cafes were located on the south side of Laxman Jhula (the middle of the 3 ‘neighborhoods’ in Rishikesh):</div>
<ul style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; list-style: circle; margin: 0px 0px 30px 21px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Paradise Cafe – (pictured below) has THE BEST view of the Ganges on a platform overlooking the river and bridge. I would sit here for hours and alternate between writing, reading, and looking at the amazing view.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Pyramid Cafe – has really cheap and delicious organic food (and much of it is non-Indian!). It’s set in the hills above the main road, but definitely worth the uphill trek.</li>
<li style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">Pumpernickle Bakery – I was lured here by the amazing(ly cheap) baked goods on display in the entrance, and they definitely didn’t disappoint! There’s also a nice space inside to hang out and read, plus a balcony overlooking the Ganges.</li>
</ul>

3. GO TO THE GANGES</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Ganges is the focal point of Rishikesh. If you don’t go *in* it, at least get as close as you can to it! For an up close and personal experience, you can swim or bathe in the river (though if you’re a woman, it’s probably not a good idea), or go rafting. Rafting trips run constantly each day from sunrise to sunset and vary in length and grade. The quick and easy raft rides just take you through Rishikesh, but other trips start 15-20km upstream. Rafting trips are advertised all over the place in town, so you’ll have no trouble booking one. You can either book just the rafting, or a combination of rafting and camping/hiking/rappelling.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Alternatively, if you don’t feel like getting wet, there is a stretch of rocky beach just north of Ram Jhula (south side). I spent most evenings sitting on the rocks, dipping my feet in the river and reading a book until sunset. Throw in some beautiful golden sunlight and some acoustic guitar, and it’s the perfect end to an afternoon.</div>

4. TREAT YOURSELF TO AN AYURVEDIC MASSAGE IN INDIA</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Massages in general are a must-do in India (given the affordability), but ayurvedic massages in particular are India’s specialty. Prepare to be slathered in all sorts of scented oils! The massage itself focuses on repetitive fluid motions that hit the pressure points, incorporating a bit of yoga as well with the bending of your limbs. I paid about Rs.750 for an hour massage and it was quite possibly the most relaxing hour of my life.</div>

5. WITNESS THE PUJA IN RISHIKESH</h2>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Every night just before sunset, there is a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZB8oTcJ6c8" style="border: 0px; color: #349cb9; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.4s ease-in-out 0s; vertical-align: baseline;" target="new">ceremony on the Ganges</a> down at Swarg Ashram (in Ram Jhula) where people gather on the steps and sing, pray, and chant together. Then right around sunset, some people light a candle and set it down the river as an offering on a little cardboard boat filled with flower petals. It’s best to get there 30-45 minutes before sunset to witness this Indian tradition.</div>

Since it was my first time in North East India, I was excited but also nervous. The only thing I was confident about was safety. A few of my friends who had visited the Seven Sisters said that all the states are safe for Solo/duo/group Travellers. I hitch-hiked to most places and stayed in homes of strangers rather than in Hotels or Guesthouses. Read the details of my journey here –</div>

My initial plan was to spend 30 days in Meghalaya. But because it was too expensive for a traveler like me, I decided to go to Assam on my 20th day! My itinerary for 20 days in Meghalaya</div>

On the first day, I struggled really hard to get to the Delhi Airport and further to Guwahati. My flight was at 8AM in the morning so I had to get up by 6AM. My flat in Delhi is about 40kms from the Airport and instead of taking a cab (what I usually do), I thought of going to the Airport in Public Transport. It was no doubt hectic but also money-saving (cab charges INR 700 & I reached in INR 200) and time-saving (traffic in Delhi is such a pain in ass).</div>

After two hours of flight,I reached Guwahati Airport. Well, my plan was to explore Assam before heading to Meghalaya but that couldn’t happen because of some issues, so I moved to Meghalaya.*uncertain, always*</div>

Just after landing at the Guwahati Airport, I took the shared cab( Swift Dzire) for Shillong which costed me 500 bucks and in case if you want a personal cab it will cost around 2000 bucks.</div>

I reached Guwahati around 2 PM and I immediately booked a seat in a shared cab (without bothering about my lunch) and headed to Shillong. It took almost 3.5 hours. On the way, I asked the driver to stop at Umiam Lake (Bara Pani) for a while. <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Umiam Lake</em> is a huge and beautiful reservoir close to the highway just before 15km from Shillong.</div>

Upon reaching Shillong, I inquired in a few hotels about the stay. Most were super-priced and a few didn’t appear to be good. After struggling for 3 hrs here and there with around 15kgs on my back and 4kgs in front, I broke down. I literally felt out of place for the first time in my life, in the middle of the Police Bazaar, as I saw the sun going down at 7 PM.</div>

I finally took off my bags in an overly-priced Guest House (a bed Dormitory for INR 700). Just so you know, my days are not always happening and sometimes I can’t even have a sound sleep during my travel. I slept without doing much stuff.</div>

I woke up early and went out having lot of plans for the day but soon it all went to flush as I went clueless after being asked ₹2000 for elephant falls which is not even 10km .

Language plays a major role as people in Shillong know neither English nor Hindi, they just know Khasi. After struggling for almost 3 hours, searching lanes and corners of Shillong, I ended up visiting ward’s lake and Police Bazaar which is main maket in Shillong. I was supposed to go to the <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Elephant Falls</em> and <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Shillong Peak</em>, but I ditched the plan as everything was going against my plan, taxis were asking very high prices and I thought to do bit more research for my days here.</div>

Don Bosco Museum, Shillong is a unique fusion of all the sister states under one roof. I was quite surprised to see the art, culture, traditions, and history of all the states with in-depth detail and superb presentation. It took me almost 3 hrs to sink in all the knowledge this Museum had to offer. They also have a sky-walk on the last floor which gives an aerial view of the entire Shillong. I also loved the song which they made on North East. I paid additional ₹100 bucks to take pictures on my phone.</div>

After getting out of museum, I had lunch at this beautiful Bob Marley based themed restaurant “Three Little Birds” just outside the museum, you must try pork momo here with lit Reggae music.

Unlike other days, today was a little planned. I went to the Gym first and soon after I went out with my backpack. I had to find another place to stay before I head to Smit-Laitlum. And again, I ditched the plan and moved to Smit with the bags.</div>

I took a bus to Smit. Then I had to wait to get a ride to Laitlum as no bus goes beyond Smit. I waited for half an hour to get a ride! Indeed, hitchhiking is a game of patience. I finally got the shared taxi which drove me to laithlum canyons.</div>

After spending almost 3 hours; reading a book, clicking photos and listening to music, I started walking back in hope to get a ride to Smit. But guess what? I got a free cab ride by the couples straight to Shillong!</div>

Finally, I’ll see the place I always read about in my books during the school days. I had no idea about anything in Cherrapunji except the Double Decker Root Bridge. Also, I was worried about my stay in Cherrapunji after the struggle in Shillong.</div>

I boarded the bus from Bara Bazaar, Shillong to Sohra (Ticket for INR 80). In the bus, I asked a few people if they knew any cheap stays in Sohra, but nobody knew anything. So it became obvious that I will have to face a hard time in finding a good stay option.</div>

I finally managed to get a cab for 1700 bucks which took me to several view point, all were awe-inspiring, Meghalaya known to be abode of clouds which I realized why. The view was surreal.</div>

The other point was Wahkaba falls, there is a small trek to reach this waterfall , it was beautiful but then i was quite upset as all the waterfall in Meghalaya were dry*i felt miserable thinking how beautiful i would look in monsoons. He then took me to Ram Krishna Mission was which a school and a museum, it was not much of significance as all thing out there were all which you can find in Don Bosco, so you can skip it if you have been to Don Bosco before. I also covered Eco Park which was just like any other park, Apart from the fact that it’s the origin point of Seven Sister falls.<img alt="IMG_1660" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-219" data-attachment-id="219" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"iPhone 6","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1521376734","copyright":"","focal_length":"2.65","iso":"32","shutter_speed":"0.001984126984127","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="IMG_1660" data-large-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_1660.jpg?w=1000?w=768" data-medium-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_1660.jpg?w=1000?w=225" data-orig-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_1660.jpg?w=1000" data-orig-size="960,1280" data-permalink="https://asvinsamadhiya.fashion.blog/2018/08/05/my-20-day-solo-journey-in-meghalaya/img_1660/" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_1660.jpg?w=1000" srcset="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_1660.jpg 960w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_1660.jpg?w=113 113w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_1660.jpg?w=225 225w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_1660.jpg?w=768 768w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></div>

My last point to cover was Mawsmai Caves which was truly amazing. This place is mostly called as Krem Mawsmai which means as – ‘<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Krem</em>’ meaning ‘cave’ in Khasi, and ‘<em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Mawsmai</em>’, meaning as ‘Oath Stone’ is a relatively easy cave for beginners to navigate. The cave is 820 feet long which is lit up with halogen lamps, which are awe-inspiring, spine-tingling and mysterious.<img class="size-full wp-image-176" data-attachment-id="176" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="img_7631" data-large-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_7631.jpg?w=1000?w=768" data-medium-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_7631.jpg?w=1000?w=300" data-orig-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_7631.jpg?w=1000" data-orig-size="768,576" data-permalink="https://asvinsamadhiya.fashion.blog/2018/08/05/my-20-day-solo-journey-in-meghalaya/img_7631/" sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_7631.jpg?w=1000" srcset="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_7631.jpg 768w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_7631.jpg?w=150 150w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_7631.jpg?w=300 300w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></div>

Though the caves are very long but only a distance of 150 meters is open for tourists, while the other section is closed. The caves are made of limestone and the mysterious environment inside that spellbinds the visitors, the moment they enter the caverns. The entrance is well lit, but as one enters further inside, the eeriness and the mystery starts unfolding. Try finding out Dragons, I found out many of them.</div>

Around 6 AM, I woke up and saw it was raining outside. Can’t tell you how hopeless I felt in that moment! I was in no mood to pay a hefty sum for another day in Sohra. So I decided to leave. In just 15 mins, I packed my bags and went to keep it at the reception as it was too heavy for me to carry. But the receptionist said, “No, I can’t keep your bag.” I was shocked to hear that! I couldn’t sink in the fact that I will have to carry my bag 3500 steps down to Double Decker Bridge and then back up till Tyrna Village. I gave it a thought and then reminded myself that nothing in this world can break my determination. Yes, it was going to be a tough task but I knew I could do it.</div>

After taking a shared taxi to Sohra market from my the homestay, I hitchhiked all the way to Tyrna Village (Starting point). From there began the 3500 roughly hewn stone-steps. I had to gather the courage to finally start taking the steps down. That moment, a solo French Traveller came and asked if I need any help. I smiled and said no. He said, “You are so strong to even think about doing this.” And it gave me all the strength and energy I needed!</div>

I was too tired to continue and wanted some rest. I asked him to keep going and that I’ll catch up soon. He left, and I was all alone in the jungle.

Then about 15 minutes later, I started again and didn’t stop till Nongriat. I kept telling myself, yes I can do it. Though several times during my trek I thought I should have never brought my backpack , could have kept it somewhere. It took me 1 hour to climb down but the view of the trek was truly alluring.I trekked through the wild to reach famed Root Bridge.</div>

I finally reached Serene Home stay, Nongriat (a village 1 km before the Double Decker Root Bridge), they said they don’t have any any space and now I had to find another place to stay ,After struggling for 1 hour in that village, I found Nongriat Guest House where I dropped my bag and went to the Double Decker Root Bridge. It was a relief to finally see the living root bridge, I was captivated by its beauty and how it has been there still firm and strong even after 100 year, though it wasn’t as fascinating as the other living root bridges and cable bridges on the way. But after the struggle I had to go through, it felt so damn good. Without wasting a second ,I took a dip into the natural pool and had a great time.I spend an hour, experiencing natural fish spa/pedicure by fishes in the water which was so relieving. All the pain through trek of 3500 steps was worth it at that moment.</div>

Around 4 PM, I decided to trek to Rainbow Falls. It was mildly raining and the sun was playing peek-a-boo, so chances of seeing a rainbow at the Rainbow Falls were high. After an hour-long trek, I reached Rainbow Falls with a bunch of other people. It was breathtakingly beautiful! This waterfall was a sight to behold even without a rainbow. But the day proved to be lucky and just in 10 mins, I could spot a Rainbow (which went off in no time). It felt so divine and rejuvenating after a day full of pain!<img alt="IMG_3788" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-278" data-attachment-id="278" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"iPhone 6","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1521785572","copyright":"","focal_length":"4.15","iso":"32","shutter_speed":"0.03030303030303","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="IMG_3788" data-large-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg?w=1000?w=1000" data-medium-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg?w=1000?w=300" data-orig-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg?w=1000" data-orig-size="1080,809" data-permalink="https://asvinsamadhiya.fashion.blog/2018/08/05/my-20-day-solo-journey-in-meghalaya/img_3788/" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg?w=1000" srcset="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg?w=1000 1000w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg?w=150 150w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg?w=300 300w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg?w=768 768w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg?w=1024 1024w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_3788.jpg 1080w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></div>

Then on my way back to Nongriat, I saw nobody around. I thought of taking a dip in the natural pool for a few minutes which turned into hours. I was a little too late and it is not advised to be out in the jungle alone after dark. But I thought a few minutes won’t hurt, so I went in. And I can’t tell you how refreshing it was to be in that natural pool with the wilderness around.It was like staying forever moment.</div>

Just as I came out of the pool, I felt as powerful as a bullet train and reached back to Nongriat minutes after sunset. At night Charlie,caretaker of that Guest house served us dinner.

I had overexerted my body the previous day so I wanted to rest and just enjoy the beauty around. I decided to rest in Nongriat for a day and just relax. This was probably the best decision I had made in my 20 days in Meghalaya.</div>

I took bath in a natural water pool just near the homestay. Then a sunbath near to a water stream, followed by book reading with sounds of birds, waterfalls and storm clouds.

With a heavy heart and pain in my legs , I decided to leave with all my bags. Mental strength had to come to the rescue because I had no physical strength. Two things broke me on my journey back to Tyrna; a) Realization that humanity is on the verge of its death and, b) how people are running after money in Meghalaya (not generalizing but this is what I experienced).<img alt="IMG_2751" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-227" data-attachment-id="227" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"2.2","credit":"","camera":"iPhone 6","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1521543756","copyright":"","focal_length":"2.65","iso":"32","shutter_speed":"0.0047169811320755","title":"","orientation":"1"}" data-image-title="IMG_2751" data-large-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_2751.jpg?w=1000?w=768" data-medium-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_2751.jpg?w=1000?w=225" data-orig-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_2751.jpg?w=1000" data-orig-size="960,1280" data-permalink="https://asvinsamadhiya.fashion.blog/2018/08/05/my-20-day-solo-journey-in-meghalaya/img_2751/" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_2751.jpg?w=1000" srcset="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_2751.jpg 960w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_2751.jpg?w=113 113w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_2751.jpg?w=225 225w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/img_2751.jpg?w=768 768w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></div>

It was a fight between my mind and my body, but I managed to reach Tyrna after climbing 3500 stairs.Then getting a ride till Sohra was easy. The guy from Qatar gave me lift, he was really helpful and dropped me at a hostel, cheaper and better than the last I stayed in. I just crashed on the bed without food like I was dead!</div>

Owner of the Hostel I stayed in advised me to visit an Offbeat Cave *i don’t remember the name , so I took a shared cab immediately. The cave is not in its natural state completely. Lights have been installed and there are stairs inside it, but it is a good experience altogether.</div>

From there, I got a ride back to Sohra after waiting for about 15 mins. On my way, I saw a waterfall from distance and asked the driver about its name. He said it was Seven Sister Falls and I immediately got off the car and asked him to continue his journey. I really wanted to spend some time here, at this fall, without bothering about how I will go back to Sohra.<img alt="NohsngithiangFalls1" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-230" data-attachment-id="230" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="NohsngithiangFalls1" data-large-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/nohsngithiangfalls1.jpg?w=1000?w=631" data-medium-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/nohsngithiangfalls1.jpg?w=1000?w=300" data-orig-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/nohsngithiangfalls1.jpg?w=1000" data-orig-size="631,382" data-permalink="https://asvinsamadhiya.fashion.blog/2018/08/05/my-20-day-solo-journey-in-meghalaya/nohsngithiangfalls1/" sizes="(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/nohsngithiangfalls1.jpg?w=1000" srcset="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/nohsngithiangfalls1.jpg 631w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/nohsngithiangfalls1.jpg?w=150 150w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/nohsngithiangfalls1.jpg?w=300 300w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></div>

I spent almost an hour clicking photos, making time-lapse and adoring its mesmerizing beauty, though the waterfall wasn’t in its best form.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #6a6c6e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Then I waited for half an hour to get a ride but I couldn’t manage one. Thankfully a guy approached me and asked where I wanted to go. I said Sohra and he said he can take me along but he will go to the Eco Park first. I agreed and went with him (I lost my Gorilla Pod in this process). The car had 3 tourists from Telangana and they were equally happy to help me out. We went to Eco Park and were supposed to go to Nohkalikai Falls, but he changed his mind. It wasn’t in my initial plan to visit Nohkalikai Falls because there are no shared taxis to it (hire taxis cost INR 400 for 4 km), but I wished to make it happen.</div>

So, I got off at Sohra and waited in hope to get a ride to Nokhalikai Falls. The possibilities were negligible, despite that, I thought of giving it a try. In the end, I got a Royal Enfield ride till Nohkalikai Falls and back to Shillong. What a lucky soul I am!</div>

I woke up early and left for Dawki with my backpack and handbag. I took a shared taxi from Baara bazaar to start my journey to Mawlynnong – Asia’s Cleanest Village (though it wasn’t in my plan).As I reached the village, I could feel the air clearing up. Breathing in the pure,fresh air, I walked around, talking to the locals and exploring the place. With bamboo dustbins and ever-cooperative villagers, I could really see why is place is known for its cleanliness. It surely is worth a visit but no stay option for a budgeted traveler, as it’s way too expensive.</div>

Then we went to India-Bangladesh Border. It gave such friendly vibes as if it’s just a state border.I clicked few pictures with the Lieutenant of Bangladesh Army and he was really cool. I sat in No-man’s land between India and Bangladesh for some time and then headed towards Dawki which is a located right on the highway and is in fact a dirty town. So,It made sense to me to go to a small hamlet by the name of Shnongpdeng to experience the beauty of the pristine waters of Umngot river. Shnongpdeng is 7 kms away from Dawki and is accessible by a rough road, shared taxis are available.<img alt="1524407978_img_2917" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-263" data-attachment-id="263" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="1524407978_img_2917" data-large-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/1524407978_img_2917.jpeg?w=1000?w=960" data-medium-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/1524407978_img_2917.jpeg?w=1000?w=300" data-orig-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/1524407978_img_2917.jpeg?w=1000" data-orig-size="960,720" data-permalink="https://asvinsamadhiya.fashion.blog/2018/08/05/my-20-day-solo-journey-in-meghalaya/1524407978_img_2917/" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/1524407978_img_2917.jpeg?w=1000" srcset="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/1524407978_img_2917.jpeg 960w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/1524407978_img_2917.jpeg?w=150 150w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/1524407978_img_2917.jpeg?w=300 300w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/1524407978_img_2917.jpeg?w=768 768w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; height: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></div>

I reached Shnongpdeng around 6PM and straightway took a dip in Umngot river , water was so clean and cold, I kept swimming for an hour and came out of water by the time of dinner. I felt refreshed and energized by that cold water. I volunteered to help Fabiano*tent owner to prepare food and we had dinner together. I sat for few hours outside my tent, next to river,looking at bonfire and water,the perfect view which i used to picture everyday. I wanted to stay there forever, It was feeling of belongingness as I belong to that place. I soon asked my thoughts to calm down and slept.</div>

I woke up early as I wanted to experience the sunrise turning Umngot river into golden lake. The view was so surreal and within moments it started to rain and without wasting any second, I took the my clothes off and went into the water, it was something unbelievable. I being an adventure enthusiast, I jumped at the opportunity to try Cliff-jumping and Snorkelling. I asked Fabiano to come along with me and he took me on boat to the spot for cliff jumping. I was afraid initially but as soon i jumped all my fear were gone,I enjoyed it like anything & kept jumping from a higher cliff as it’s my daily task. While the experience was exhilarating, and slightly unnerving, the view of the valley spread around me was simply stunning! I too tried snorkelling which didn’t turned out to be a good experience*may be next time. It was hell of an experience which I don’t want to share. We came back to tent by evening, I had dinner and slept early as tomorrow it was going to be a hectic day.</div>

(There are a few homestays in Shnongpdeng, most are cute structures made of bamboo and stand on a stilt, prices charged are around 400-700 Rupees.

Quite fortunately, my trip was right in time for the Khasi Festival, a popular harvest festival in the state. With the people all adorning native costumes. the festival involved a dance with unmarried women(virgins) forming an inner circle an men making up the outer circle, signifying how they protect their womenfolk. I had great time witnessing the festival,though they didn’t allow me to be the part of it.</div>

I woke up early and went to gym as I couldn’t do it for few days*never miss working out no matter where you are . After working out, this really good guy from the gym gave me lift in his car to Railbong point from where I got the cab to elephant falls. It just took ₹10 bucks and 20 minutes to reached Elephant falls , it was one of the beautiful falls I visited. It has 3 view points on subsequent 3 stages. I clicked few pictures and came out to get a taxi for Sacred forest, I had to wait for an hour as its not a regular taxi route but then I finally got taxi to sacred forest which is in quite countryside of Shillong.</div>

As soon I reached the forest the view was unrealistic, I felt the purest air on earth,breezing,touching me softly. I got numb for the moment and i didn’t want to waste any second to get inside the forest so,I quickly found a guide for the trek as the forest is said to be not safe to go alone. <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">And I stood at the edge of a forest in the village of Mawphlang in the East Khasi</span> Hills of Meghalaya, trying to get rid of negative thoughts before entering. It was great feeling as this was no ordinary forest, you see, but home to a protective deity called <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">U Ryngkew U Basa</em>, revered by the Chief and Elders of the village to protect it from all harm. If anyone enters with bad intentions, they face dire consequences. A sacred grove or <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Law Kyntang</em>, this forest has stood for at least 1,000 years and one of the reasons the forest still survives is because cuttting down any tree or branch here is taboo. Nature holds much significance in traditional Khasi culture and the spirit of conservation is deeply embedded in the people through a complex social matrix of religious beliefs.</div>

The forest also serves as an important ritual site for the people of <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Hima</em> Mawphlang who perform various thanksgiving and blessing ceremonies in the area. This has evidently been going on for a while, attested by scattered mounds of ritual stones and menhirs, some of which are over 900 years old!

The three cities of Agra, Jaipur and Delhi are the most popular tourist destinations in the country. As a result of this, all of them are connected up by roads and rail. This makes travelling from one to another incredibly easy. The name ‘Golden Triangle’ comes from the way in which the cities look on a map. If you drew a line in between each of them, you would end up with something triangular in shape! There is about 250km of distance between the cities.<a href="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/bf574-india-golden-triangle-map.jpg" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit;"><img border="0" class=" aligncenter" height="208" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/bf574-india-golden-triangle-map.jpg?w=320&h=208" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" width="320" /></a>One of the main reasons as to why people engage in Golden Triangle Tours is because of the relative ease of getting from city to city. Many tour companies will enable you to cover the whole lot within a week if you are pressed for time, but a couple of weeks are probably your safest bet if you want to cover everything as a traveler.<img alt="IMG_20170228_155830-ANIMATION" class=" size-full wp-image-304 aligncenter" data-attachment-id="304" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="IMG_20170228_155830-ANIMATION" data-large-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170228_155830-animation.gif?w=1000?w=548" data-medium-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170228_155830-animation.gif?w=1000?w=169" data-orig-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170228_155830-animation.gif?w=1000" data-orig-size="548,972" data-permalink="https://asvinsamadhiya.fashion.blog/2018/08/26/backpacking-the-majestic-golden-triangle/img_20170228_155830-animation/" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170228_155830-animation.gif?w=1000" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></div>

In my opinion, one of the highlights is seeing just how different the cities are from one another. Yes, they are all very touristy as a result of their location, but head to Delhi and you have a bustling metropolis at your fingertips. Head to Jaipur, and you are surrounded by Deserts and traditional Asian Bazaars. Agra is more historical in appearance, with it being the home to the <a href="http://www.shalusharma.com/personal-experience-of-visiting-the-taj-mahal/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit;" title="Personal experience of visiting the Taj Mahal">gorgeous Taj Mahal</a>.

During your <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">Golden Triangle Travel</em>, you are going to live a wealth of experiences that you cannot do outside of India. Although, of course what you do depends on whome you tour with. All of them though will provide you with a dedicated tour guide. Perhaps your favorite experience will be shopping through the traditional Indian Bazaars and picking up a couple of local wares, or maybe you want to ride an elephant all the way up to the Royal Palace, the choice is yours, but one things if for certain, this is going to be a true adventure for you.<img alt="IMG_20170219_170825" class=" size-full wp-image-305 aligncenter" data-attachment-id="305" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-description="" data-image-meta="{"aperture":"2","credit":"","camera":"Lenovo K6 NOTE","caption":"","created_timestamp":"1487524105","copyright":"","focal_length":"3.59","iso":"195","shutter_speed":"0.020003655868146","title":"","orientation":"0"}" data-image-title="IMG_20170219_170825" data-large-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=1000?w=577" data-medium-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=1000?w=169" data-orig-file="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=1000" data-orig-size="2608,4632" data-permalink="https://asvinsamadhiya.fashion.blog/2018/08/26/backpacking-the-majestic-golden-triangle/img_20170219_170825/" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" src="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=1000" srcset="https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=1000 1000w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=2000 2000w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=84 84w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=169 169w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=768 768w, https://asvinsamadhiyafashion.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/img_20170219_170825.jpg?w=577 577w" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 100%;" /></div>

There is a plethora of different ones out there, each offering a slightly different experience. Honestly, going on one of these tours is likely to be one of the most exciting things you have done in your life and for good reason too. The culture is unbelievable, the scenery unbelievable and you really will get to see the best of India within a short period of time</div>

The majority of people who head to India with tourism on mind head to the three cities that makes up the Golden Triangle, Delhi, Jaipur and Agra. This is mainly due to their close proximity to one another, and the fact that these locations are geared up already to accept tourists. If you are lucky enough to go on one of the many golden triangle tours, then you will be able to visit all of them! One of the thing that surprises many people is how vastly different these locations are, and that is something that I wish to take a look at. Let’s take a brief glance at the various cities in the triangle.</div>
<h1 style="box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; color: #1a1c1e; font-family: "Lobster Two", sans-serif; font-size: 3.6rem; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.38; margin: 0.67em 0px; text-align: center;">

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
Quite rightly, the majority of golden triangle tours are going to start out in the capital of the country. This is probably one of the most developed locations within India, with huge buildings as far as the eye can see. It is probably also the one which caters to tourists the most. Huge mosques dominate the area, many of which have been standing for hundreds of years in their full glory. I find that Delhi is probably one of the best locations in India if you are searching for the perfect blend of modernness and a bit more of a historical approach.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
My favourite place to head here would be the ‘Old City’ quarter, which has a very traditional Indian feel to it. I find that one of the best things about Delhi is that despite it being a tourist location, you never really feel like a tourist. There are far too many people here, and it is most likely you will bump into other Western tourists. This is also probably one of the best locations on the tour to shop for Indian items. For a more British feel of the area, head to New Delhi, which is a stark contrast to the rest of the city?Delhi, the capital of India is a mind-blowing sensory over load. Loud, brash and in your face it gives you a glimpse into the chaos, crowds and pollution of this giant of a city, here we took the time to see some of the <a href="https://drifterplanet.com/places-to-visit-in-delhi/" rel="noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">best attractions in Delhi</a>.</div>

Agra</h1>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; padding: 0px 0px 1.5em;">
The next stop on Golden Triangle Tours is normally Agra. This, despite being a tourist city, feels much more like a massive village. It really is a massive contrast to Delhi. Amongst the many historical sites that reside here is the most famous building in India, the Taj Mahal. This delightful memorial is probably the most tranquil location in the country, and should be one of the first places you head to whilst in Agra. The whole village feel of the area also means that there are a lot of ‘local delights’ on offer here, so don’t forget to sample some of the local wares of the area, particularly the many street BBQs on offer. Agra has a slower pace than other cities, which sounds crazy given the amount of tourists which flock here annually but it is for that reason that it is better cared for.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Fatehpur Sikri</span> located outside the main city of Agra, the complex was constructed in the 16th century and now consists of various palaces and mosques. It was perhaps my favourite place we visited as the span of architectural styles and history here was by far the most interesting.</div>

Jaipur the flamboyant Pink City was painted pink to welcome the Prince of Wales in 1867, home of the City Palace; the city still hosts its royal descendants today some of home can still be scene at the site. Built with its many honeycomb windows, the place was constructed so that the many royal females could watch the city’s festivities from above without having to mingle.</div>

Jaipur, a city in the desert is often the last stop on Golden Triangle Tours. Here, there are traditional Indian Bazaars as far as the eye can see, and the perfect place to pick up some mementos of your trip. Perhaps the highlight of Jaipur is the forts of Maharaja Jai Singh II which resides in the Aravalli Hills, just outside the centre of the city. The second highlight is the City Palace, which is now a museum which details the rich history of Jaipur and the rest of the country.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Elephant Conservation Village.</span> We spent half a day at one of the few Conservation villages within Jaipur. Many of the Elephants in this city tragically spend their days taking the long climb to Amer Fort with tourists on their back. Sadly, on our visit they broke their promises of conservation and as we bathed and fed these majestic creatures we saw tourists arrive just for a quick ride on the animals. <span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Since then, this activity has been removed from the tours and exchanged for a half day Indian cookery class</span>. <em style="box-sizing: inherit;">A lesson that conservation is not always as it seems.</em></div>
