June 2023
Spiti, Himachal Pradesh
"A week of dusty roads, chai, and snowfall mornings."
Best Moment
Waking up to fresh snow in Kaza was unreal. We made chai on a tiny stove outside the homestay while the mountains slowly turned pink. @anurag tried doing a headstand in the snow, slipped, and ended up with chai all over him, but we laughed so hard it felt like the world paused for us.
Worst Moment
Riding back from Batal, our bike’s clutch cable snapped in the middle of nowhere. It was freezing, and we had no signal for hours. @farhan and I ended up pushing the bike for 3 km until we found a small dhaba, where we spent six hours drinking watery chai waiting for help. Miserable then, funny now.
December 2022
Patagonia, Chile
"An epic, challenging, and rewarding trek through the surreal landscapes of Torres del Paine."
Best Moment
Reaching the base of the towers (Base de las Torres) after a grueling final climb. The three granite peaks piercing the sky above a turquoise lake felt like a reward for all the effort. The silence was profound.
Worst Moment
My trusty hiking boots giving up on day 3, forcing me to finish the trek with more duct tape than shoe. The blisters were legendary.
The towers. No picture does it justice.
My boots, held together by hope and duct tape.
May 2022
Marrakech, Morocco
"Diving headfirst into the magic of Marrakech, from its bustling souks to its vibrant squares."
Best Moment
Sipping mint tea on a rooftop overlooking Djemaa el-Fna as the sun set and the square came alive with storytellers, musicians, and food stalls. Pure sensory overload in the best way possible, especially sharing it with @elara.
Worst Moment
A slightly too-aggressive sales pitch for a rug that involved being 'trapped' in a shop for nearly an hour. We escaped, but without a rug and with our politeness thoroughly tested.
Rooftop views with @elara.
Lost in the souk.
The colors of Jardin Majorelle.
Almost bought this lamp. Almost.
