The year 2020 will possibly be remembered as the year of the pandemic, where entire world struggled but eventually came together against the Covid-19 pandemic. We desperately wanted to make some good fond memories out of Year 2020 and travel to few places at least to get out of the routine of work from home. After having to stay indoors / work from home and volunteering with local NGO for few weeks during Migrant Laborers travel crisis, we wanted to have a family getaway some

When you take the name Punjab, you are reminded of the rich heritage of Punjab and the ever welcoming people of Punjab, but on the other hand, you will be awestruck when you get to taste their Punjabi cuisine which makes the experience of Punjab complete to say the least. During partition Punjab was divided into two regions (if we want to understand the things in simpler manner), the one of half which is in Pakistan today and the better half (I could say it, as I am proud Ind

Punjab & Rajasthan, are regarded as great heritage destinations in the Northern India.

Punjab, on the other hand, has been remembered not only for its early kingdoms but also during the British occupation of Ind

Pune is known as the cultural capital of Maharashtra state, and there is no wonder we at HillTrotters had keen interest in visiting and exploring Pune city. We got the chance to visit Pune in the First week of March'2019, to celebrate one of our friend's birthday who is settled in Pune, and we decided to make it a weekend of Travel, so that we can get a glimpse of Pune. Travelling from Mumbai to Pune is one of the well known travel route and there are plenty of modes of trave

Ever since I read about Ajanta and Ellora caves in our school days depicting the rich history of Ajanta & Ellora, I wanted to be there to witness the magnificent historical carvings of Ajanta and Ellora caves. At that time I didn't realize, that it would take me at least 15 more years to be there myself along with my soulmate/travel partner, staring at those stone carvings in the heart of Maharashtra. That day arrived in Feb'2019, when I was in Mumbai (just 3 months before th

Kashmir is recognized as the Paradise from long time. Even though it is the hotbed of major conflicts between India and Pakistan, including armed conflicts, it was never disregarded as dangerous to travel in Kashmir, at least in tourist circuits. The mesmerizing valleys, the rivers originating from glaciers, the natural skyscrapers "the Himalayas", the snowcapped peaks, the ever welcoming people of Kashmir, the unique cuisine, have always welcomed travelers from all corners o

When I first came up with my Travel Bucket list for places to visit in and around Mumbai, this was probably at the bottom somewhere. But I kept on hearing this name in my office from other enthusiastic travelers as this place is one of the best camping sites on the lake bed close to Mumbai. So, I had to bring this place very much to the top of my Bucket list, and visit the nature's beauty. Bhandardara is in Ahmed Nagar distirct of Maharashtra and is quite close to the Mumbai

As a kid, learning social science, I have always wanted to know more about the Sahyadri's and how they formed. This was my first up and close with the Sahyadri Range also known as Deccan Traps because of how they formed out of Volcanic lava when India split up from Madagascar to join with Eurasia. Malshej ghat is in Maharashtra state of India, and it is a mountain pass road in the Sahyadri Region. It falls on the way to Ahmed Nagar on Highway #61. We rode through the Malshej

I first heard about the Gurez valley, from an outlook blog, a heart-wrenching story about the last surviving generation of Dard tribe living in the remotest valley in India, and the news about the Hydroelectric power project on the Kishenganga river which will eventually submerge the valley in few years from 2015. The Gurez valley is located in the northern Kashmir (Indian administered part of Kashmir), just along the Azad Kashmir region of Pakistan. Dawar, Gurez Valley The p
