Bali is indeed one of the most difficult destinations to reach, but once you are there - it is closer to home like no other.
This point was driven home at a Blessing ceremony at the
Felt so familiar as the local Hindu priest payed to all the elements - water, air, earth and fire.
The priest then burns incense and meditates then chants Sanskrit mantras as he prepares the holy water to pour a holy shower.
Same reverence, even the same deities… 🙏 🧘♂️ just across a few oceans.
Made me think of how the world is one large piece of fabric, and each thread weaves its way through the cloth - surfacing in different portions as a part of a whole.
Appearing and resurfacing in several portions, the oblivious onlooker does not even realise it is the same thread.
The colour, design and texture may feel different because of the imprint on the surface…. But it is the same fabric.
So much gyaan from a blessing ceremony !!

A Side of Kimchi
Koreans are very proud of their unique cuisine. This is another result of the country’s natural isolation and climate leading to particular food preparation methods. Take kimchi, for example, the country’s number one side
dish made from salted and fermented vegetables that are kept in jars for months, one of many practices used to protect food during harsh winters.
Over the centuries, Koreans have created a fascinating and rich food culture made up of meat dishes, stews, soups, noodle dishes, seafood and many vegetable side dishes. Visit South Korea and you should spend an entire day roaming street markets sampling your way through this concert of flavors.

South Korea 🇰🇷 Culture
Due to their long history, South Koreans have a variety of traditions they have kept alive throughout centuries. Still today, you can watch traditional Korean dance and music performances, while people love to dress in traditional clothes (hanbok) – you can rent it to wear around Seoul and Jeonju, for eg. Even in modern Seoul, you can still find traditional hanok house neighborhoods with lovely teahouses that have been in existence for decades. This mix of old and new is truly fun to explore when traveling in South Korea.

The heart ❤️ of Seoul
In contrast to its historic landmarks, South Korea is a pioneer in creating
new and innovative structures. Looking at Seoul, for example, you are surrounded by futuristic buildings in one part of the city, such as the Dongdaemun Design Plaza by Zaha Hadid, while traditional hanok neighborhoods
lie just around the corner. Seoul proudly has also opened the world’s fifth largest skyscraper piercing majestically out of the ground overlooking the Han River.
While Seoul is arguably the most thrilling city in South Korea, it’s not the only large city that’s worth a visit. Despite its small size, South
Korea has plenty of exciting cities from north to south. Busan in the very south, for example, is the country’s second largest city and located on a beautiful coastline with sandy beaches and clear ocean water.

Morocco 🇲🇦 - where time is eternal. No past, No future… Everything is NOW!!
From ancient sandstone walls, vibrantly pigmented embroidery and leatherwork, to modern restaurant districts - Morocco flows with color and zest.
Among its many exceptional crafts from centuries of blending African, Arabic and European influences, Morocco’s slipper or “babouche” is one people are most connected to.
Originating from the Arabic word “babush” and the Persian word “papush,” the name itself is symbolic of Morocco’s melting pot culture. The slipper is a heelless, open back, flat shoe made of pliable leather, typically raw hides of goats, cows, camels or sheep.
In 2016, Vogue deemed the Moroccan babouche the new “it” shoe when designer Phoebe Philo released her version of it in the 2016 Celine Resort collection. Soon babouches were seen all over from the runway to fast-fashion factories.
We at love showcasing local & traditional crafts.

I often wondered why Chefchaouen is blue??
The most likely answer I came up with is that Chefchaouen's Jews — who long since relocated to Casablanca or Israel — are thought to have been the originators of the blue tradition, using it replace the colours like green associated with other religions.
Others will tell you that the colour is good for warding off mosquitoes, or is particularly cooling in high mountain sun. Whatever the reason, my trip to Chefchaouen a few years ago was very memorable. Ofcourse the landscape was an Instagram haven, but the real character of the city was the sense of pride of the people.
Much as it is touristy, the locals actually discourage you to spoil the natural ambience by photographing private moments of the locals going about their day. Be sure to seek permission before you click or you could be in a spot of trouble. It could be a snappy reprimand or even a prolonged animated argument involving money - so take my advice and avoid photography of locals without explicit permission.
For more such tips on Chefchaouen call ☎️ me.

Lizard Island
Like Nowhere Else!
What a unique name for a luxury resort… Lizard Island. Yes it is a member of the Luxury Lodges of Australia, but even then the minute you say the name, you get a range of reactions from amusement to curiosity.
The most common question I get asked is - Are there really Lizards 🦎 on Lizard Island 🏝? The answer is yes…. There are.
May I clarify that they are not dangerous and they are not everywhere. But you may catch one as you trek in the shrubs, or wander into wilderness. They will not intimidate, but just lend authenticity to the name of the resort.
Lizard Island is stunning - and it’s a must do atleast once in your life.

The Postcard Gir
Experiences
Early riser or not, Gir National Sanctuary is home to 674 lions at last count. There’s more on offer beyond the company of lions, of course. A picnic? Check. A leisurely nature trail? Sure. A beach to yourself at Diu? We thought you’d never ask.
Dining Gir
Fun fact: Khichdi, which found favour among the Mughals, is in fact a Persian import. More surprises lay in store as you flick through our menu that acknowledges the region’s wider Parsi influence (Salli Boti, for instance) as well its more local ones. Including fresh pomfret from Veraval, the classic Gujarati thali, or of course, Khichdi.

We Curate Holidays that Create Unique & Specialized Travel Experiences
The Intrepid Club has one aim - "To help you enjoy what matters to the most to you" and we will go to any length to ensure we get it right.
Who We Are
The Intrepid Club is the outbound travel division of Ventours. Twenty six years ago, a British gentleman, Mr. Alain Whitehouse, returned to India in search of his colonial roots, and stayed on. He got a group of his friends together who joined hands and became connoisseurs of a different East and the creators of a discerning traveler's itinerary. That was the beginning of Ventours in 1986.
Nearly three decades later, and after much thought it was decided to extend the Ventours experience to clients in India’s domestic market. The idea was to cater to the travel zest of prosperous Indians who now want to roam the world, looking for out of the box travel experiences. Thus was born The Intrepid Club – an outbound travel division of Ventours.
What We Do
The Intrepid Club caters to the travel requirements of guests who are connoisseurs of the good things of life and have high expectations from every experience they seek – including planning their annual family vacation. Their demand for detailing and precision can be quite a challenge for most travel planners, but we are happy to rise to the occasion, and we know that our effort will be valued. As travel advisers our aim is simple – to create a personalized experience - something that can’t be ‘Googled’.
In a true sense, we are Curators of Experiential Journeys and not just travel planners.
