Kurinjal Trek: Discovering the Hidden Gem of Kudremukh National Park. AI-Generated.
Some treks feel like adventures, some like therapy. The Kurinjal Trek in Kudremukh National Park manages to be both. Nestled in the lush Western Ghats of Karnataka, Kurinjal is one of those underrated trails that surprises you with its beauty. When I first hiked here, I wasn’t just walking on a mountain—I was stepping into a world of rolling meadows, misty valleys, and dense forests alive with birdsong.

Andharban Trek: Walking Through Maharashtra’s Enchanting Dark Forest. AI-Generated.
Some treks challenge your stamina, some reward you with breathtaking summits—but then there are treks that immerse you in pure wilderness. The Andharban jungle Trek in Maharashtra belongs to the latter. Aptly named Andharban, meaning “dark forest” in Marathi, this trail takes you through a dense, misty jungle where the sunlight barely trickles in.

Hot Air Balloon in Manali: A Magical Way to See the Himalayas from Above. AI-Generated.
There are some experiences that leave you speechless and make you fall in love with a destination all over again. For me, taking a hot air balloon ride in Manali was exactly that. Floating gently above the lush valleys, with the snow-clad peaks of the Pir Panjal and Dhauladhar ranges glistening in the morning sun, felt nothing short of magical. Manali is already famous for trekking, paragliding, and river rafting, but this adventure offers a quieter, dreamlike perspective—one that stays etched in memory long after you’re back on the ground.

When the Road Became My Teacher
M Mehran Wandering began for me not as a choice, but as an accident. One train missed, one connection lost, and suddenly I was stranded in a town whose name I couldn’t pronounce. I could have panicked. Instead, I walked. That decision changed everything.

The Call of the Unknown
M Mehran There is a moment, somewhere between the first step away from the familiar and the second step into the unknown, when the heart learns how to beat differently. It is not the fast rhythm of fear, nor the steady pulse of routine. It is something else—a rhythm born of possibility, of roads untaken, of skies uncharted. That moment is the essence of wandering.

Flavors on the Road
The Road That Tastes Different Travel has a way of changing us, but food has a way of rooting us. Every new city, village, or roadside stop I’ve ever stumbled into had its own flavor—sometimes literal, sometimes figurative. The meals I’ve shared, the aromas that clung to my clothes, and the laughter that filled kitchens have all become bookmarks in my memory.

Mobile payments dominate daily life, and while Chinese law requires merchants to accept cash, many small vendors don’t keep much change on hand.
