Dharamshala Travel Guide

Dharmshala is located in Kangra valley at the foothills of Dhauladhar range in Himachal Pradesh. I spent around 4 weeks in Dharmshala and Dharamkot working remotely and exploring places at my own pace. So whenever I got some time I stepped out to see places around – one place at a time.

Hunt for Fiddleheads in the Wilderness

This evening, I wandered into a nearby forest of Manali with locals to pluck fiddleheads, ferns, and other wild veggies. Three women, little Ishan, and two dogs. This is a photoblog, so I’ll let the photos speak a thousand words.

Triund Trek – In The Heart of Dhauladhar

As I wrapped up my office work and packed my backpack for the next day, the playful growl of thunder echoed through the sky promising the rain.

Coliving and Coworking In The Himalayas

In any case, getting some office work done? Not happening.

Picnic day at Sajla Waterfall | Offbeat Destination Near Manali

In the past 2 years, it was one of the rare times when we slept at 1:15 AM IST on Saturday. However, the body clock was set to wake up at 6:30 AM, and there was a slight discomfort in our body due to insufficient sleep. Both of us had completed the routine morning tasks. I have prepared vegetable pulao and my partner packed it in a steel box.

The Mysterious Lake With A Floating Island, Parashar Lake

Two of my office colleagues came up with an idea of trekking to Parashar lake. I pulled my laptop to find more about it. It is located approx 50 km away from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh.
