One of the most beautiful trips I ever did, with darma valley as well.

Located at 12,000 ft, Tungnath is the highest Shiva temple in the world and one of the five sacred Kedars. The trek takes you through beautiful forests, green meadows, and stunning mountain views.

But the journey doesn't end here! Continue to Chandrashila Summit for amazing 360° views of the Himalayas, including peaks like Nanda Devi, Chaukhamba, and Trishul.

You can also visit Deoriatal, a beautiful lake surrounded by forests and mountain views. And when winter arrives, the Chopta–Tungnath–Chandrashila trail turns into a snowy wonderland, making the trek even more special.

A beautiful trail, a sacred temple, and Himalayan views that make every step worth it.

So in my village they (fun guys)took me to the top of the village water tank and then we chit chat about silly things. But the time we spent there was good watching sunset, listening to the village bhajans and the birds chirping nothing special but just something peaceful don't know in my heart or mind.

So took this video just so I don't forget that nature can only provide ultimate peace.

(Ps: English is not my first language, please point out any mistakes I made in the post. You can suggest what should I have written instead of any word)

We are planning to go to Munsiyari on scooty.

We are 4 friends with 2 scooty. Will it be safe in terms of Black ice to visit Munsiyari at late November.

Like will Black ice affect the tyres of scooty.

I am a US citizen with OCI (since I am originally Indian). I am planning a tour through Darjeeling, Pelling, Gangtok, East Sikkim (Tsmongo lake area), North Sikkim (Lachung and Yumthang valley) starting around November 9th.

My plan was to head north from Darjeeling to Pelling, spend a few days there then head east to Gangtok. In Gangtok I will figure out a 1 day tour to Tsomgo lake and a 2D/1N tour (or 3D/2N depending on the exact minimum requirement) with a local tour agency.

However, it just came to my knowledge that now in person permits for foreigners is scrapped so I need to apply online. So, I applied via the eFRRO portal but now it's asking me for an "undertaking letter", "letter of financial responsibility", "hotel reservations", "detailed day by day itinerary" etc. etc.

How exactly do I go about this? I was planning on traveling to Pelling and Gangtok at least independently and then only to East/North by tour. Also, I would rather not pay some agency beforehand without actually vetting them face to face on the ground.

What are my options?

While returning from work on Sunday evening, I realised Tuesday was a holiday for Dussehra. So, without much planning, I booked a Shatabdi ticket to Haridwar. Sometimes, spontaneous plans work out best!
I reached Haridwar around noon, took a bus and then an auto to the Laxman Jhula area. This is where most of the action happens, with hostels, cafés, restaurants and the Ganga all within walking distance.
I’ve stayed at Shiv Shakti, Zostel and The Hosteller on previous trips. This time, I chose \*\*Madpackers\*\*, and I really liked the experience. The staff was polite, and the common area had a great vibe. I even got to speak Bengali with someone from Kolkata and brush up on my Bengali after ages!
The next morning, I went river rafting. No pictures this time since I was travelling solo and skipped the GoPro package. After returning, I spent a few hours relaxing in the hostel’s common area before heading back to Delhi that evening.
\*\*Overall, a much-needed break!\*\* Two days felt a little rushed; three would have been ideal. But when you need a quick escape from Delhi, Rishikesh is a great option.
Sometimes, you don’t need an elaborate itinerary or company. Just book a ticket, find a decent hostel and enjoy doing nothing for a while.
Any recommendations for my next spontaneous solo trip from Delhi?

Hey girls! 🏔️❄️💗

I’m 24F, planning a Manali trip from 23rd Jan to 5th/6th Feb, travelling from Bangalore. One of my friends will be joining me from Delhi.

The plan is to spend the first week exploring Himachal, enjoying snow, trying snow activities, and going on treks, while the second week will be more of a workation. I really wanna experience working from the mountains, surrounded by snow, with some peaceful days to chill and enjoy the mountain vibes. 🏔️💻☃️

We haven’t finalised the itinerary yet, so we can discuss and plan everything together!

I’m looking to make this a girls-only trip. 💗👭

Any girls interested in joining? Let’s connect, plan the itinerary together, and make some beautiful memories! 🫶🏻✨

Please suggest some budget friendly places to visit that would actually be open during the late December to early January period near gangtok!

Hi everyone!

I'm planning a 2-night stay in Pondicherry with my family/partner and looking for a good sea-view, beach-facing, or beachfront hotel/homestay where we can enjoy the ocean right from the property.

My preference is somewhere peaceful, clean, safe, and comfortable, with a beautiful sea view and ideally direct access to the beach. I'm looking for something budget-friendly rather than a luxury resort.

If you've personally stayed at a good place or know of any hidden gems, please share your recommendations, approximate prices per night, and booking links if possible.

I'd really appreciate genuine suggestions based on your own experience, especially places that offer good value for money.

Thank you so much in advance!
