Sundarbans, literally meaning the ‘beautiful forests’, lives up to its name and reputation by all means. It derives its name from the dominant mangrove plant species- Heritiera fomes, or ‘Sundari’ in local language. Mangroves are arguably among the most beautiful forests with typical salt-water resistant trees growing inside water making for quite an fascinating sight. Here’s a guide on how to plan your trip to this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This story is as much about Coastal Karnataka, as about the exciting road trip that we had this winter. Coastal Karnataka is serene, tranquil and gorgeous, and largely unexplored by travelers outside of Karnataka. We had planned for a road trip by taxi from Goa to Mangalore. But we ended up doing it by local transport- an experiment we wanted to do for a long time. And buoy! Was it exciting!
Mountain trekking is always a difficult and time-consuming proposition. But the rewards are great, especially if you are a nature lover. You get the best views of the place, and of course, the excitement of an adventure to go with. Triund peak trekking in Dharamshala this spring was a super exciting experience, especially because we did it with friends. Trips like this make us reaffirm our believe that travel is the essence of life.
