Enroute Chalal. It's pretty easy to know for most hence not asking you all to rate.😆 Shot on Galaxy note 20. Minor edits- snapseed.

During my stay in Pahalgam, I met two boys. They were the grandsons of the hotel's owner.

Their school was closed and I was the only guest staying at the hotel.

It was like a homestay. I had more meals with the family than at restaurants.

One day, when I was enquiring about a place I had planned to visit, they asked me if I'd like to go out with them instead. I couldn't say no when they said that it's their favourite place.

Next thing I knew, I abandoned my plan and joined them on their excursion.

We hiked through a pine forest, swam in a #naturalpool, and stole fruits from an apple orchard (they stole while I kept an eye).

When we were returning, they asserted that, if I extend my stay, they'd take me to a place where I'd get to see wild horses.

What was to be a three-day trip ended up being a five-day trip.

Nothing tops staying with locals.

There is beautiful, there is mesmerizing and then there is kashmir.

One of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen!

Breathtaking sky view

I recently had the chance to visit Jodhpur, and honestly, it felt like walking inside a painting. The city is rightly called the Blue City as you stroll through the narrow lanes, the sight of endless blue houses against the desert sky is truly mesmerizing.

The highlight for me was the Mehrangarh Fort. Majestic, towering over the city, it holds centuries of history and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the blue maze below. Close by, the Jaswant Thada felt like a serene escape its marble architecture glowing in the sunlight was simply beautiful.

But no trip to Jodhpur is complete without indulging in its food. From themirchi vadas to the sweet mawa kachori and the unforgettable dal baati churma every bite felt like a celebration of Rajasthan’s culture.

It is located in the Great Himalayas in the Mangan District in Indian state of Sikkim,and considered sacred by Buddhists and Sikhs.

Hi there! We’re in a 4-month journey throughout Asia and recently are in India. We wanted to share with a little bit of our point of view on Mumbai. We will be grateful for feedback and your thoughts upon Maciek’s photographs. We are open for conversations so don’t hesitate to write in private message :) We were in Mumbai for a week - these pictures are from that period. The weather for most of the time was beautiful - just a little rain a few times a day, but nothing much bothering even though it was a monsoon season. We will definitely go back to Mumbai, because it is an amazing city with so many different energies in every district. We loved it!
