Paragliding has been one of the most thrilling sports activities that I have on my bucket list. I am lucky to say that this was my second time paragliding. But I am afraid it felt like the last time I would fly. But first, what exactly is paragliding? I will not bore you with the definition of language like I did last time. It is simply flying (or I should actually say gliding) after jumping off a high cliff. Thrilling and…
I used to visit West Bengal only during my vacations twice every year, which mostly (actually only) included visiting my relatives.

West Bengal is a coastal state in India, so there are bound to be many beaches to explore here. Digha being the most popular among the list of beaches in West Bengal, there are many less known…
Before I dive into my misadventure during my visit to Kapilash, let me give you a quick introduction to this beautiful town in Odisha. So, Kapilash is a tiny part of the Dhenkanal town in Odisha. You will not find much information about this place itself on the web (because even I searched for some details to mention here and I could not).

I have not been to Scotland yet, so not quite sure about the comparison with Coorg here. But I am pretty sure that people who have come up with this analogy must be right. They won’t do it just like that for fun. Right? Well, hope so. Anyways, I visited Coorg with a few friends of mine when I was during my initial job training in Mysore. There are a lot of places that I visited when I was here….

Jaipur, also known as the pink city, is the largest city in the state of Rajasthan, India. It got its iconic name for having those unique pink-coloured walled structures all over the city. But it is not the case anymore. Spotting a pink coloured wall has become a rarity now. I was lucky to have spotted one while on the road. I visited Rajasthan with my family in October 2014. When visiting Rajasthan, there are 2 most sought out cities-…

Unlike those beautiful beaches with golden sand and crystal-clear blue water, Chandipur beach is famous for a whole different reason. It’s the phenomena of tides. The sea just literally vanishes.

Chandipur beach is located in Baleshwar district, Odisha, India. On average, it takes around 5 hours to reach here from Bhubaneswar…
