Recommended Travel Destinations in India: Safe and Enjoyable
♥️India♥️ Our journey lasted 22 days, traveling solo in March. As many know, this country is often avoided by travelers. After visiting, people either want to return or never come back. For me, I want to go again, but I recommend sticking to tourist cities for safety. Here's our itinerary:
✨Rajasthan
- Jaipur
- Jodhpur
- Udaipur
✨Himachal Pradesh
- Manali
- Shimla
- Leh Ladakh
✨Jammu
- Kashmir
On the way back, we had a 14-hour transit in Kolkata. Overall, it was a fun and memorable trip. The people of India are very kind and helpful to tourists. I encourage everyone to reconsider and visit India.

Ladakh road trip - The adventure of a lifetime
For me, the Ladakh road trip is the adventure of a lifetime. Known for its rugged mountains, serene monasteries, and crystal-clear lakes, Ladakh is the perfect destination for road trip enthusiasts.
Here’s my suggested itinerary:
Day 1: Fly to Delhi
Day 2: Early morning flight to Leh. Take time to rest and acclimate to the high altitude to avoid acute mountain sickness. Take a slow walk around the town center.
Day 3: Explore Leh and the nearby monasteries.
Day 4: Leh - Khardung-La Pass - Nubra Valley
Day 5: Nubra Valley - Turtuk Village - Nubra Valley
Day 6: Nubra Valley - Pangong Lake
Day 7: Pangong Lake - Changla Pass - Leh
Day 8: Leh - Tso Moriri Lake (or go directly from Pangong to Tso Moriri to save time—the road is beautiful).
Day 9: Tso Moriri - Tanglang La Pass - Leh
Day 10: Fly out from Leh.
The Ladakh road trip offers countless opportunities for breathtaking photography. Be sure to bring a good camera and plenty of memory cards! You can also use a drone (flycam) in certain spots for stunning aerial shots.

Travelling to Ladakh? Then you must come in autumn season
The trip to Ladakh is one of my most memorable experiences. I visited Ladakh in autumn because I had heard that the region is especially beautiful during this season. Indeed, that proved to be true.
With its golden landscapes and crisp air, late September to early October is the perfect time to witness how the region transforms as the vibrant greenery fades into shades of gold, orange, and brown.
Here are the places where I experienced the beauty of autumn:
Leh: When we arrived in Leh, the trees in the city were still mostly green, so we decided to head to the Hemis Monastery. Fortunately, the trees there were beginning to turn yellow.
Pangong Lake and Tso Moriri: In autumn, the stark contrast of barren mountains, shimmering lakes, and golden poplar trees creates stunning views. The colors of the lakes were truly amazing.
Changthang Valley: On the road from Leh to Tso Moriri, we saw an abundance of yellow and red trees, turning the desert landscape into a bright and vibrant picture.

Famous river in the world 🌅
#hiddengems
Since long time ago, the Ganges river has been the most holiest and sacred river in Hinduism religion that over millions of local people and foreign Hindu believer will visit this place where they believe taking a bath or have a body dip in the river will help cure any illnesses.
However, as there are many sewages poured into the river everyday, it has gradually became polluted as only partial of it had gone through some water treatment and nowadays, it is 1 of the most polluted river in the world. Still, people who come will bathe here but it is not that recommend as it can be dangerous with the polluted water.
As a tourists, if you are not taking shower here, I would more recommend to chase the sunrise in the very early morning taking the boat and guarantee you wont be disappointed with the stunning sunrise view over the water!!

For those of us who love life everyday, it makes no sense to just revel in the everyday. Culture and cuisine reward those who love to live when they unlock the door to the unknown and unexperienced. What pleasures await!

Astronomical observatory ,Hanle , leh Ladakh
📍 Hanle. Situated about 250km away from Leh, Hanle is a magical, martian land where you'll be greeted by purple hued mountains, an aquamarine river, vast grasslands and endangered flora and fauna. If you want the best road trip experience in Ladakh, Hanle has to be on your list! You can either reach Hanle from Pangong, via Man - Merak - Chusul - Lima - Hanle or you can take the direct route from Leh: Leh-Upshi-Chumathang - Nyoma - Lina - Hanle. The latter route is recommended to travellers since it's safer and smoother.

#afternoontea When it comes to Tea, I love 3 Roses with all natural herbs in it. We Indian’s love very much tea 24/7 whether it’s a morning, afternoon, evening , night or midnight, we crave for the tea especially when we are on trip. While on vacation or trip or on the way we use to get tea/coffee break in the road side stall to high range cafe. India’s Assam Tea is very famous with low price to very high price of being nearly Rs.1 Lakh INR per kg.

Ladakh, India
Ladakh is most famous for breathtaking landscapes, the crystal clear skies, the highest mountain passes, thrilling adventure activities, Buddhist Monasteries and festivals. Not only is it the only place in India where the graceful Double Hump camels found, but it is also the place where you will find the Magnetic Hill, the one-of-a-kind phenomena that defies gravity.
Ladakh gains a lot of popularity for being the only cold desert in India apart from bordering the World’s highest saltwater Lake Pangong Lake. Riding up the highest motorable road in the world, Khardung la is a dream come true for many. The Hunder sand dunes, frozen river trek and snow leopards all find their only home in Ladakh.

Leh Market, Ladakh India
From my inn yesterday, it was only 5 minutes by foot but it felt far because it was cold hehe. Every time I pass by here I am always greeted with the word "Juleh" which means Hello, in Leh I am mistaken for a Malaysian while in Jammu and Jaipur it is mistaken for a Ladakh.
Operational hours are around 9/10 am to 7 pm the market is already quiet and dark. Have you ever enjoyed hanging out at a travel agent until 8 pm I was afraid to go home until I forgot the way home because it was dark. Yes, I like hanging out at travel agents because the owner is kind, likes to give hot tea while chatting while sharing wifi 😂.

Jaisalmer - The Golden Heaven
Me and my friend reached the fort, which is in the centre of the city. The fort didn't have a display board for timings, history and map. Everyone pushed us ahead to go on a bike, but we insisted on foot. Only then we saw the history board which was almost wiped out clean. The fort does not have timing as it is a living fort i.e. 90% of the fort @area is being used by locals as accommodation, restaurants, shops, hotel etc. The fort was unclean and very poorly maintained. There is not much history left and the guide (100 inr) hardly explains much. A part of the fort is being converted to the museum i.e. the king and queen area. There are approximately 8 jain temples very famous for their architecture and all were closed (1200-1930 closed). Other temples were open which may be not so old. The shops which sell antique and local wear, one needs to bargain. The fort does give a excellent view of the city. Please carry your own water bottle. Water is sold in mineral water bottle which is in plastic containers.

The Red Fort is a historic fort in the city of Delhi (in Old Delhi) in India that served as the main residence of the Mughal Emperors. Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned construction of the Red Fort on 12 May 1638, when he decided to shift his capital from Agra to Delhi. Originally red and white, its design is credited to architect Ustad Ahmad Lahori, who also constructed the Taj Mahal. The fort represents the peak in Mughal architecture under Shah Jahan, and combines Persianate palace architecture with Indian traditions.

Mindful living in India
I stayed at the Amanbagh in India which was a very unique experience. This hotel is totally remote and in a very rural village far away from anything that reminds you of city life. The hotel works with local villagers and focuses on mindfulness which helps you to re-energize yourself 🔋
