Don’t beat yourself. Beat Altitude Sickness in Ladakh with these 13 tips

Let me begin by saying that Altitude Sickness is for real. Popping pills is not enough. I know plenty of people who took all the precautions (as per them) & still spent days in hospital, or on Oxygen. Either way, it’s uncomfortable & a waste of your money and time. The thin air of Leh,…

I woke up all fresh that day, and planned to visit all tourist attractions of Mahabaleshwar. We had been to Venna lake the previous evening already. : : Around that time, I started getting crazy pings on my office Whatsapp Groups & I got involved in managing the chaos & completely missed some of those spots.

My Chai Things - the cheese sticks tasted yummy with the Chai. I prefer my chai in big mugs, filled to the brim. But I loved their nano cups, and some chai in those cups. It felt perfect cupping those glasses & nibbling on cheese sticks and Sunflower seeds, served in those tiny basket bowls. : Look at the kettle. I can buy a dozen of these & keep it in my kitchen shelf. 😍😍😍 : :#Chaifanatic #Burmaburma #Chaiaddict #lifeonweekends #Chaitraveller #Chailover #ChaiChai

Oily hair, puffy face & invisible neck; I look like a frog here somehow 😛😛 This was the last day in Ladakh back in June 2018. The trip was one of the best I have had - hopeful, aspirational, scenic and joyous. I don’t even have one complaint. Remembering the good, old days! : : Read my travel stories from the North, the South, the West and a bit from the East across 16+ states and 100s of cities of Incredible India on my blog - Life on Weekends dot com.

I loved this Georgette, double-shaded kurta - the perfect combination of Orange & Red. It used to brighten my dull days because I would get one too many compliments whenever I would wear it. It was the last that I could wear it - back in February 2017 when I went to Khajuraho. The next time I wore it was when I spilled Papad soup on it. :( : Khajuraho is an old place, more like a village. Its dusty roads, rickety autorickshaws, old-world like railway station, and mostly deserted airport makes you wonder how the hell did you get so much free time in a 24 hour day. It’s got some cafes, a few good pizza places, rooftop things, and a series of old temples that stand testimony to our ancient culture, heritage & craftsmanship. Khajuraho is mostly popular for its erotic wall art on temples, and that leaves me wondering - how liberal ancient India was! And we thought modern India is an all-round developed version! : Read my travel stories from the North, the South, the West and a bit from the East across 16+ states and 100s of cities of Incredible India on my blog - Life on Weekends dot com.
