Bhutan: The Blissful Sanctuary in the Himalayas…
In 2013, during my visit to Bhutan, renowned for its pristine landscapes, ancient monasteries, and sacred rituals, I discovered it to be among the happiest nations in the world.
A group of us embarked on a challenging hike up to Tiger's Nest, navigating steep paths with breathtaking views. The architectural marvel nestled on the slopes of the Himalayas left us both breathless and in awe. Driving on the winding narrow roads was scary and thrilling. We drank hot chai, had wonderful dumplings and enjoyed the vibrant rituals, where the monks would dress up and dance in colorful clothes and masks enacting religious stories. For More information , please reach out ...

Discover India with me, my recent visit to The Ellora Cave temples
The Ellora cave temples are an architectural marvel, 34 rock cut temples dating from the 4th century to the 9th century, located in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra, India. These temples are famous for their intricate carvings and sculptures, showcasing a blend of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain art. Visiting the Ellora caves is a mesmerizing experience, The Kailasa temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, is the largest monolithic structure in the world, carved out of a single rock. I was transported through time as I walked around marveling at the symmetry, skill and creative genius of the architects and sculptors.
