So finally I have come to a stage where I know my upcoming adventures. I am very excited to see a future where I know I will be traveling all over India and abroad. Here are my travel plans which I am very excited to share with you. Watch out for updates as I keep on adding new destinations:
*** (July) ***
Rajasthan –
Since childhood, The colors of Rajasthan (bright Marwari turbans, Holi colors, the colorful ‘Ghagras’ that women wear) have attracted me. This is the first time I will experience all of it. I will be staying with the locals in the countryside. I can’t wait to experience the life in a Marwari village. I want to take a walk in the farms, sleep under the stars outside my hut and wake up with the sunrise not by my alarm but by the farm rooster.

*** (August) ***
West Bengal –
I am in love with West Bengal ever since I visited Darjeeling and Tea estates of Eastern Bengal in April 2013. I will return in this August to experience the monsoons when the whole place is full of life. I will be staying a little away from the cities this time, preferably in a tea garden. I will explore the orange orchards for sure and how can I miss out on having Tibetan food with a local family.

North East India –
North East, the land known for being unknown. I am yet to decide which one of the seven sisters I will be going to this time. North East is so big and unexplored. I know it will take time before I can explore it all, if I can do that in my lifetime. Any suggestions on where I should start my adventures in North East from? Mawlynnong village in Meghalaya and Majuli island in Assam are equally tempting.

*** (September) ***
Punjab –
Punjab is known for its sprawling green farms, rich food, cheerful people and its hospitality. I will be staying with a local family for a couple of days. I want to see the daily life in Punjab, a life which is untouched by the hollow charms of living in a metropolitan. I can’t wait to share my experiences with you.

Himachal Pradesh –
I have been to Himachal many times. It holds a special place in my heart because few of my good friends belong to Himachal. This time I will steer away from the cities like Simla and move to the countryside. I will be exploring trekking trails known only to the locals. I wonder what Himachali food tastes like.

*** (October) ***
Dublin, Ireland (TBEX) –
The big daddy. I was a little nervous when I registered myself into
Travel Bloggers EXchange (A confluence where travel bloggers, writers, PR companies and travel enthusiasts unite from across the globe). But now I am really excited about it. Busy and fun filled mornings and afternoons will be followed by amazing evenings at a local Irish pub with fellow bloggers. The thought makes my feet itchy.
And once this conference is over, I would not miss out on the opportunity to wander off into the fairy tale Irish country side, live in a farm, go for some fishing and try local cuisine and Irish Whisky.
