  • "My solitude doesn't depend on the presence or absence of people; on the contrary I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company." . . . Read this fantastic quote by Friedrich Nietzsche and it is so true! Basically, I rather be alone than be in the company of people who waste my time. 😑 . . On that note, I vote for this seriously pretty place in case you ever need some solitude. Built on this floating island, in the lap of nature and away from people, this place was pure magic! 😍 . . . . #manipur #imphal #moirang #loktak #northeastindia #whereisnortheast #unexplorednortheast #northeastlens #incredibleindia #manipurtourism #solitude #womenwhoexplore #outdoorlife #bbctravel #natgeoyourshot #cntravellerindia #thevisualyatra #mypixeldiary #tripotocommunity #storiesofindia #quotestoliveby #lonelyplanetindia #beautifuldestinations #indiaclicks #indiatravelgram #igerofindia
  • *Just a quick reminder to myself and to anyone who needs it.* . . Take it day by day and don't stress too much about tomorrow. . . Lately my head feels like a Rubik's square. It just seems like a mess with all the colours mixed up. I try and put in one colour in place and the other sides seemed messed up! But then that is life. Everyone has something going on and I am sure eventually everything will work out. So until then, breathe in, breathe out and smile! 😊 . . . . . . . . . . . . #VeryRandomLifeQuotes #imphal #loktak #moirang #manipurtourism #manipur #northeastindia #whereisnortheast #northeastlens #unexplorednortheast #incredibleindia #indiaclicks #indiatravelgram #womenwhoexplore #bbctravel #oneplusshot #natgeoyourshot #myvisualyatra #mypixeldiary #tripotocommunity #naturelover #traveldiaries #quotestoliveby
  • This is mother nature having her own concert going on. 😍 . . . . Often when I tell people I am from the Northeast, I get a response like "Oh I have been there!" And in most cases, they mean Meghalaya or Assam or even Sikkim. While these two and other states are AMAZING, I always tell them, next time try Manipur also. It amazes me that most people know so little about this state and what it has to offer. The untouched natural beauty here is breath taking, the culture is fascinating and the food...ahem very interesting! So why would you not want to explore Manipur? 😊 . . . *PS- No I don't get paid by Manipur tourism to say all this. This is my roots and I want to share it with everyone! . . . #loktak #moirang #imphal #northeastindia #whereisnortheast #unexplorednortheast #northeastlens #incredibleindia #manipurtourism #indiatravelgram #manipur #indiaclicks #igersofindia #myvisualyatra #mypixeldiary #nerdyadventuress #womenwhoexplore #bbctravel #natgeoyourshot #cntraveler #tripotocommunity #outdoorlife #lonelyplanetindia #traveldiaries
  • Phumdis or the floating islands are like icebergs, 20% is above the water while the rest 80% is below the water. . . These heterogeneous vegetation masses vary in sizes with the largest single mass one as big as 40 km square (which by the way is the world's largest floating national park- Keibul Lamjao)!! If this isn't amazing I don't know what is! . . *God I'm in love with Mother Nature's creation!* 😍 . . . #MagicalManipur . . . . . . . . . #imphal #moirang #loktak #phumdis #bbctravel #womenwhoexplore #whereisnortheast #unexplorednortheast #northeastindia #northeasttourism #northeastlens #incredibleindia #thevisualyatra #storiesofindia #indiatravelgram #india_everyday #natgeotravellerindia #passionpassport #tripotocommunity #uniladadventure #tlpicks #ngtindia #yourshotphotographer #nerdyadventuress #travelstoke #indiapictures
  • To sit outdoors, do absolutely nothing and just really listen to the world around; *Sigh* these are the simple pleasures in life. . . . . . ....minus the million GIANT mosquitoes that were trying to suck the blood outta me! 😣 . . . . . But then that is how mother nature works!! NO pain. NO gain. 😬 . . . . . . . . #manipur #manipurtourism #imphal #moirang #loktak #whereisnortheast #incredibleindia #incrediblenortheast #northeastindia #loktakaquamarine #lonelyplanetindia #oneplus7pro #womenwhoexplore #thevisualyatra #storiesofindia #natgeotravellerindia #bbctravel #indiatravelgram #tripotocommunity #explorenortheast #northeasttourism #passionpassport #mypixeldiary #girlsinhills #india_everyday
  • You might think this is just another pretty picture of me sitting outside another pretty hut...but you know what there is something super unique about this place and I am so excited to tell you about it!!!! 😁 . . . . Well, remember those weird circular islands you saw in my previous post? Those were not just any islands. They are the FLOATING islands or phumdis. Yeah floating as in they can move with the gust of strong wind and rise with the rise in the water level. Not kidding. . . For years fishermen have used the unique topography of this lake to fish and live on these floating islands. This hut is built on one such floating island and while I have visited phumdis before I had never had a chance to stay here overnight so now I cannot wait to tell you more about my experience in the next few posts!! . . . . . . . . . . . #manipur #manipurtourism #imphal #moirang #loktak #floatingislands #womenwhoexplore #incredibleindia #incrediblenortheast #whereisnortheast #northeastindia #sevensisterstates #explorenortheast #nerdyadventuress #traveldiaries #thevisualyatra #natgeotravellerindia #lonelyplanetindia #bbctravel #lakesofnortheast #tripotocommunity #girlsgetters #igersofindia #photographersofindia #storiesofindia
  • You know you are heading to a magical land when the view starts looking something like this! 😍 . . . #WayBackHome . . . . . . . . . . . . #manipur #northeastindia #whereisnortheast #loktak #manipurtourism #discovernortheast #lake #incredibleindia #natgeotravellerindia #natgeoyourshot #lonelyplanetindia #thevisualyatra #passionpassport #storiesofindia #nerdyadventuress #traveldiaries #travelstoke #wanderlust #igersofindia #photographersofindia #womenwhoexplore #sheisnotlost #cntravellerindia #bbctravel #explorenortheast
  • If I died, I imagine heaven to be just like this! 😍 *Sigghhhhhhh* . . . . . But weirdly, whenever I show people around me pictures like this, most respond by saying, "If you are travelling solo, who is taking your pictures??" 😒 Really now. . . . Simple answer. Tripod. Timer. And shamelessly asking other people around to click a picture. 😁 . . Now can we just enjoy this view please?? 😊 . . . . . . . .#sarangkot #pokhara #nepaldiaries🇳🇵 #solotraveller #sheroamssolo #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #infinitypool #machapuchare #himalaya #annapurna #himalayangirls @himalayangirls #lonelyplanetindia #bbctravel #mountainlife #hippieinhills #tripotocommunity #himalayangeographic #thevisualyatra #photographersofindia #travelstoke
  • This is what perfect lazzzzzyyyy mornings are all about- A BIG mug of Coffee and Breathtaking views of the Mountains! 😍 . . . Generally I am not fond of the concept of hotels, I find it rather impersonal. I like homestays or hostels so much more. But some times places like this comes along which is just so bloody hard to pass! . . . This place, which has just opened a few days back has the most gorgeous views of the Annapurna range and the valley below! While I was here, I was the ONLY guest. Can you imagine??? 😁 I had the whole hotel to myself so the staff went overboard with pampering me, which I am not used to! *Bliss* . . If you are in Pokhara, stay a night or more here for sure! Yeah, you can thank me later. 😎 . . . . . . . . . . #pokhara #sarangkot #nepaldiaries #perfectselfie #annapurna #machapuchare #fishtail #himalayangirls #himalayas #solotraveller #womenwhoexplore #sheroamssolo #mountainlife #igersofindia #natgeotravel #natgeotravellerindia #bbctravel #cntravellerindia #tripotocommunity #hippieinhills #thevisualyatra #photographersofindia #oneplus7 #travelstoke #traveldiaries #sarangkotmountainlodge
