It was January 2001, and a naïve 17-year-old English girl arrived alone at Delhi airport. The short taxi ride from the airport to the hotel inspired 2 hours of notes in her diary. This place was totally unlike anything she had experienced before… India. This trip, almost 15 years ago to the day, inspired a deep-seated love affair with India, and here I will share with you why.  This girl had everything going for her in England: a place to study medicine at a top university in London, supportive and loving network of friends and family and various hobbies on the go.

I didn’t have any idea of the worlds that India would show me. As a child, I had a...

Come summers in the plains and Leh too sheds its blankets of snow and metamorphoses to the world’s largest cold desert on the rocky peaks of Himalayas . The versatility in geographical and cultural offerings of this place has been responsible for many different names that are given to Ladakh in the past. Some people call it La-Dags meaning "Land of High Mountain Passes", some call it " Cold Desert in the Skies" and some refer it as “ Land of Moon ” etc. Ladakh was not a properly known place a few years back, until some curious foreigners explored it and turned it into a potential tourist spot. The cold deserts of Ladakh became centres of tourist attraction mainly due to its Buddhist culture that breathes here and due to the options of thrilling adventu...
