This summer saw me embark on one of the best train journeys that I have undertaken till date. Close to 5000 kilometres of diverse terrain in just over 2 weeks sounds awesome right? Add to the mix, a classic 1950s train car, enterprising company and surreal destinations and you have a magical concoction that I was privileged to live and experience on my trans USA coast to coast train journey.
If you had tracked my journey through the trending hashtags #RoadTripUSA, #DiscoverAmerica #MTPTrain on social [...] |

Here's a #nofilter #bhopal sunset. We're back to Delhi tonight on a teeny tiny plane. Spent the evening at the gorgeous national park/zoo, and now a quick drink overlooking the lake before we go home.

I am no expert on high altitude and high altitude sickness. It is commonly known as AMS or acute mountain sickness. But I am someone who loves going to the mountains. For me views are more important than gaining height. But as it is easy to gain height on treks these days, I have been up to Kala Pathar (Everest Base Camp Trek, Nepal) which is 5,643 meters or just a little above 18,000 feet. I m someone who tries to trek at least once a year. Recently I came across a program where I felt they were treating Diamox [...] |

Note on the sub-title: With no time to do this before the run start, I did a la Paula infamous pee break during her world record setting FM, or the more recent Mo Farah's pit stop on the way to his 5000m world championship. Yes, I took a loooong #1 break en route to this Personal Best HM effort. Hence to Pee or not to PB

Over the years, though I have become largely aloof to faith at a personal level, my interest in the religions has grown tremendously, and a lot of credit can be given to travel which opened both my mind and soul to understand and accept. One faith that has intrigued me a lot is Buddhism and with India’s special connection to it, I always look out for it whenever I travel.
Here are two stories of Buddhism in the two far apart, yet spiritually connected, ancient Himalayan [...] |

Jordan as a destination has typically played second fiddle to its larger neighbours and usually ends up an add-on to a longer itinerary in Egypt or Israel. Last week the Jordan Tourism Board kicked off a mega tourism campaign in an attempt to alter that statistic. Eighty eight international digital influencers from over fifteen countries, along with a few local media persons, were […] |

More from yesterday's visit to the Museum of Man. This is a Bhil hut, complete with termite eaten wood posts on the outside. You could walk right in and look at the layout--most tribals prefer to have the cooking area also be where the Goddess hangs out but I think it's the Bhils where everyone in the tribe shares one central courtyard where they gather every evening. #installation #bhopal #traveldiary
