Uttarakhand: Of Unknown Trails, Monsoon Journeys and Shanti

I am sitting amidst starry fairy lights and soothing sufi music in my sister’s beautiful home in Delhi as I write this. Looking back fondly at the last week, which we spent traveling together through Uttarakhand.  Travel with me on this awesome monsoon journey through the state and discover some of it's hidden secrets. 

Landour, Mussoorie - Rediscovering the wanderbug in me

We arrived past sunset and amidst heavy rains. I found shelter in a basic campsite located on the banks of the Ganges. Lanterns, a warm bonfire, yummy chicken pakoras and the gorgeous star-studded sky. I passed the night in my sweet little tent and fell asleep to the soothing sound of the river, unaware of the beauty that would unveil itself in the morning.
