Almost 18 months back, before beginning my professional career , I went on a solo trip across Europe. The following year, I again travelled to Europe, this time with my younger cousin. This year, I plan to do the same, because I will be joining a grad school early next year. One last trip before venturing into studies again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

An impromptu trip to Parvati Valley in the Himalayas remains one of my best trips ever. The place is absolutely surreal!

Chadar Frozen River Trek, also rightly called the world's wildest trek. Walking on the frozen Zanskar river in the Himalayas is surreal. Survived temperatures as low as -25 degrees centigrade!

Completed an almost solo trip to Europe. Met new people, made some amazing friends and had great experiences. 3 weeks of unadulterated fun.
