Discovering the Hidden Gem of Delhi: Agrasen Ki Baoli
If you’d ask me for my favourite places in Delhi, the stepwell Agrasen ki Baoli would be in the top 5. There is hardly anyone who’s visited Delhi who I’ve not taken there. Surprisingly, many Delhiites are either not even aware of it or have simply not visited it. Incomprehensible!

Exploring the gems of Gujarat – Adalaj, Modhera and Patan
During my second Gujarat visit, I finally got to catch up on the things I’ve missed. When I told people first about Gujarat, often the reactions are something like “Gujarat? What do you want THERE?” The clearly have no idea what they’re missing out on! Do check out my blog on day 1 of my trip!
The morning of day 2 started with a shock: it wasn’t possible to book any Uber or OLA Outstation cabs on such a short notice! The earliest was 4 or 5 pm. I had done it from Delhi to Agra in the past with only 1 hr in advance and simply assumed it would be like this again. Luckily, Russell had randomly spoken about it to our first cab driver the day before and taken his number. He was still free and able to take us on such short notice. Phew!

Exploring the gems of Gujarat – Ahmedabad
Two and a half years back, I did my very first solo trip: an unforgettable roundtrip through Gujarat. Exploring Ahmedabad with its stepwells, mosques, temples, and Old City, the Jain temples on the mountains in Palitana and Junagadh, the beaches in Diu and Mandhvi, the temples in Somnath and Dwarka and the Great Rann of Kutch in the Thar Desert. As amazing as it was, two places were still missing: the Sun Temple in Modhera and Rani ki Vav, a stepwell in Patan. Little did I know that they turned out to be the absolute highlights in the whole of Gujarat which nobody should miss!

On the Road to Kasol: Exploring the Enchanting Journey
This trip should be titled “most unprepared trip in the history of this Poser”. Since I didn’t move my bum out of bed anymore after coming back from my 24 km trek, which left me fully sunburned, I neither knew the bus timings to Kasol nor did I get money to pay the hotel bill.

A Hike to Solang Valley: Following the Cotton Candy
I woke up to a clear blue sky and a warm sun – which already made my day (not knowing yet that I would curse it later and beg for some clouds to appear).
The first and most important thing to do before starting my hike to Solang Valley, was to finally wash my hair! The hotel didn’t have a hair dryer and the thought alone of drying them in the cold air made me fall sick.
