  • Tattered, Battered and Terribly Tanned, but here is a too-close-for-comfort selfie in case you have forgotten how I look! 😁 . . So recently, I went on a journey to one of the most isolated Buddhist Monastery in the Himalayan region. It took me two days by road and a long long long walk in the piercing sun and chilling wind to reach but it was so worth it! . . Cannot wait to share more stories from this incredible land! #ZANSKAR . . . #himalayas #himalayangirls #womenwhoexplore #treklife #roadtrip #himalayas #mountains #travelblogger #traveldiaries #mypixeldiary #tripoto #phugtal #desi_diaries #iamtb @himalayangirls #indiatravelgram #gtgi #girlgetters #sheisnotlost #outdoorgirl #nerdyadventuress #india_sb #selfie #adventure

  • A friend of mine pinged me saying, "Hey Wassup? I was going through an old copy of EVO magazine and saw your article. Nice one." . For a minute I had no idea what was he talking about and then I remembered I had indeed sent an article about Off-Roading in Spiti at 16,000 feet, and had completely forgotten about it! 😕 . Well, it finally did get published 2 months back and before it gets even later, I wanted to share this little "Rear View Mirror" excitement with you! 😊 . . Also, sorry guys I had to abruptly stop my North East India series. I have been under the weather, medically and mentally and hoping to bounce back real soon with more stories and blog posts! . ➡️Until then check out my highlight stories for the article on "Off-Roading at 16,000 feet in Spiti." ✌🏼😁🚙🏔️ ⬅️ . . . #nerdyadventuress #evoindia #travelblogger #travelwriter #automagazine #spiti #offroading #4x4 #girlgetters #outdoorgirl #offroader #mahindraadventure #mahindrascorpio #4x4lover #womenwhoexplore #igersofindia #photographer_of_india #thevisualyatra #india_sb #indiaclicks #adventuregirl #sheisnotlost #mahindraspiti #incredibleindia #incrediblespiti #spitidrive #roadtrip @mahindraadventure
  • I didn't believe it when I first heard of it and I bet you would find it hard to believe it too. But, see the board on the left? It says ➡️ "MANIPUR GAVE THE WORLD THE GAME OF POLO" ⬅️ . . Yup. Believe it or not, but the game of Modern Polo started right here! 😁 . . Known as Sagol Kangjei or Hockey on Horse, it's origin can be traced back to c. 3100 BC! 😳 . . #MyManipur ❤️ . . . . #manipur #northeastindia #whereisnortheast #ChaloNorthEast #travelblogger #traveldiaries #mypixeldiary #discovernortheast #northeastlens #incrediblenortheast #nerdyadventuress #desi_diaries #mypixeldiary #igersofindia #imphal #Polo #indiatravelgram #womenwhoexplore @manipurtourism #lonelyplanetindia #photographer_of_india #india_undiscovered #_soi #bbctravel
  • And this is how gorgeous a Manipuri Meitei bride looks on her wedding day! ❤️ . . Incase you are wondering, the cylindrical skirt is called a Potloi and is similar to the traditional Rasleela dance dress since Manipuris are believers of Radha and Krishna. . . What really is unique about this dress is that because it is so expensive, oversized and unique, it is borrowed from the temple and brought in parts by the lady custodians. This is then stitched onto the bride a few hours before the wedding. And once the ceremony is over, it is taken back. ➡️SWIPE to see more➡️ . So instead of spending a huge amount of money on a wedding dress, one can save a lot of money and still follow the traditions! . Frugality and being Traditional at its best! 😁 . . . #MyManipur ❤️ . . #manipuribride #manipur #potloi #northeastindia #whereisnortheast #discovernortheast #northeastlens @manipurtourism @incrediblemanipur #incrediblemanipur #incredibleindia #igersofindia #indiatravelgram #desi_diaries #traveldiaries #travelstories #travelblogger #nerdyadventuress #india_undiscovered #india_sb #ngtindia #lonelyplanetindia #bbctravel #northeastindia
  • Floating into the week like you are on Top of the World! 😎 . . I always thought my first hot air ballooning ride would be in either Cappadocia or Bagan. Never, in my wildest dream would I have imagined it would be in my own home town, Manipur! . . The #MyManipur ❤️series continues as I continue sharing stories from my hometown and also show you my side of Manipur. 😊 . . So how is Monday treating you guys? . . . #manipur #northeastindia #whereisnortheast #northeastlens #ChaloNorthEast #travelblogger #traveldiaries #travelstories #womenwhoexplore #HotAirBallooning #mypixeldiary #desi_diaries #igersofindia #indiatravelgram #india_sb #indiaclicks @manipurtourism @incrediblemanipur #outdoorgirl #nerdyadventuress #imphal #india_undiscovered #incredibleindia #tripotocommunity #photographer_of_india #wanderlust
  • Did you know that this lake, apart from being the largest freshwater lake in the North-Eastern region of India, also has the World's 'only' FLOATING National Park. 🤓 . . Talk about Pandora! We have floating islands here. 😀 . . These clumps of thick matted weed islands are called Phumdis and they keep shifting position. Local villagers live on these floating Phumdis and have to stick long bamboo poles to anchor it down. . . #MyManipur.. Incredible isn't it? ❤️ . . . #northeastindia #whereisnortheast #ChaloNorthEast #northeastlens #manipur #loktaklake #travelblogger #traveldiaries @manipurtourism @outlooktraveller @natgeotravellerindia #lonelyplanetindia #mypixeldiary #desi_diaries #igersofindia #storiesofindia #incredibleindia #womenwhoexplore #india_sb #india_undiscovered #thevisualyatra #Northeastblogger #travelstoke #ngtindia #bbctravel #tripotocommunity
  • While I live in the concrete jungle, once upon a time, my ancestors lived in such beautifully carved wooden huts! . . Ok, how beautiful is this? *sigh* ❤️ . . Sometimes, I really wish I could go back in time just to witness the life of the people back then. I am sure we could have learnt a thing or two. Unfortunately, so much knowledge is lost with time. . . #MyManipur . . #manipur #northeastindia #whereisnortheast #northeastlens #travelblogger #nerdyadventuress #desi_diaries #incredibleindia @manipurtourism @incrediblemanipur #traveldiaries #villagelife #womenwhoexplore #gtgi #iamtb #girlgetters #sheisnotlost #sheroamssolo #indiatravelgram #photographer_of_india #mypixeldiary #igersofindia #india_sb #bbctravel #ngtindia
