When it rains, it pours. It was the onset of summer. After a hyperactive month in Varanasi, it was time to leave for the mountains via Delhi. Early morning, I sneaked out of my hostel’s dormitory, tied my backpack to my motorcycle, and off I went. Riding alongside the rising sun is one of my […]
Road Trips
The beauty of Satara- Lesser known Maharashtra!
Surrounded by hills of Western Ghats in all directions, Satara is a town popularly known for Kaas Pathar, a UNESCO heritage site. But that is just the tip of the iceberg.
