The Taste of Kinnaur, from Chandigarh to Thanedhar

By Anubhav Vacation April 25, 2022India

A Kinnaur village I think I was still in my late teens when I first heard of Kinnaur. It was perhaps from the fruit seller who had arranged his prime fruits of the season on the top of his cart. Back in the mid-’90s in Bombay, the Washington apples had…

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

By Anubhav Vacation December 13, 2019Central America

It was supposed to be the main attraction in Guatemala. Lake Atitlan was/is after all the crown of Guatemala and maybe the most visited of its place. However, I struggled to like it. I wanted to like it so bad coz it was going to decide if I would come…

Mexico and Peru, Twins..!

By Anubhav Vacation November 29, 2019South America

There is something in these two countries, Peru and Mexico. No, not just that, there is something in this continent. True, that it is one big stretch of land from North Mexico to South of Chile, right to the end of where humans still live on extreme lands. Never there…

Kilkenny to Killarney via Kinsale

By Anubhav Vacation September 13, 2019Europe

The morning was not wet neither was it cold. “This is not your typical Irish morning”, said my host as she took down my breakfast choice. Between, the full and the half Irish breakfast option, there was not much of a choice to make, full it was! A wholesome breakfast…

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala – To Be or Not To Be!

By Anubhav Vacation August 3, 2019Central America

I had never thought of Guatemala much at first. When the name began to surface in my travel plans, for Latin America, it was still a filler country. Mexico for its heritage and food, Cuba for its ‘travel back in time' feel and Guatemala for?! It was a question I…

Scotland – Ireland, From the Mind to Screen Via the Wild Atlantic Way

By Anubhav Vacation July 27, 2019Europe

It had just started to snow and the weather update on the radio mentioned of a possible road closure by late evening. Google maps had already mentioned the arrival at my destination much before that. So, with a momentary sigh of relief, and not being worried about driving in snow,…

Being in Scandinavia..

By Anubhav Vacation July 19, 2019Scandinavia

A few years ago, in a Sami (North Norwegian) camp of reindeers, a tourist asked the herder, "How many reindeers do you have?". "Fifty Thousand" came the reply and then he added with a smile, "We do not count, we just be with them". In all these years of coming…

Alesund to Andalsnes | Part II

By Anubhav Vacation July 12, 2019Norway

The Fjordland of Norway hits you straight away. It does, however, take time to sink in. The pleasant shock of nature after the initial ‘wows' and ‘amazing' settles in your mind. Once in there it only makes you want to stare, and absorb what you see, take it all in.…

Helsinki, ten years…!

By Anubhav Vacation July 5, 2019Scandinavia

I came here 10 years ago. In the ‘not so spring' day of early May, I followed the instructions given by the hostel website to arrive here at the Euro Hostel, Helsinki, from the Vantaa Airport. I don't think there were any google maps back then coz I remember me…

Alesund to Andalsnes 2 nights & 20 days | Part I

By Anubhav Vacation July 3, 2019Norway

This journey was an outcome. From 2009 to 2014, when Norway was the only thing that people remembered out of our Scandinavia tour, there was already a route taking shape in my mind. A few names up here in Norway were been spoken. Places like Geiranger and Trondheim were known,…

Train Travel in Myanmar

By Anubhav Vacation June 14, 2019Myanmar

The guide book in any country always says, ‘train travel is a good way to experience local’. In my first 3 days of traveling in Myanmar back in 2014, it already looked

The Great Salt Desert

By Anubhav Vacation June 7, 2019Iran

The night was not as cold as I had expected it to be. It was almost the end of the tour and as I sat out in the courtyard of the Bali hotel in Khur,
