While searching for Airbnbs in Chiang Mai, we stumbled upon this charming homestay called Lucklub, nestled within what the description called an artists’ village, just 7 km from the city center. The name ‘Baan Kang Wat’ was mentioned in the description, and it was a place I had never heard of before! Curiously enough, I
To the people I met in Egypt, It’s been nearly a month since we returned from Egypt, but I’m still suffering from post-trip blues. Even now, I wake up thinking about those slow mornings in Zamalek, sipping pistachio lattes from the cozy coffee shop next door, strolling through quiet streets that eventually spilled into the

I had always heard that train journeys in Sri Lanka are dreamy and breathtaking. And honestly, during my solo trip to Sri Lanka, I wanted to experience the train journey just to see if it was worth the hype. While the most famous route is the 7 to 8–hour ride from Kandy to Ella, I
I’ve been to Hanoi three times now, and somehow, when I’m asked, “What are the best things to do in Hanoi?”, I am often lost, wondering what exactly I should mention!

“The rain stops and my friend departs. I wish he had stayed, I wish the rain had not stopped so soon.” -Ruskin Bond. It was just another day when I met ‘this person’. He came to JNU to play football with my friends. A brief interaction, some words exchanged over alcohol and dinner, and I
“Sunset felucca ride on the Nile? You know how much?” “Egyptian boat ride. Indian price. Brother, come.” “Very cheap price. One hour on the Nile. Only 10 Dollars!” As we strolled down the Nile Corniche in Luxor, the familiar calls echoed around us. By now, nearly a week into our journey through Egypt, we were

As clichéd as it may sound, like any other Bengali girl, I, too, have a fascination for the 9 yards, but to be honest, I was pretty sceptical of backpacking in a saree! Until recently, when I thought to try it, I packed one of my favourites (from Mom’s collection) during my trip to Cambodia.
Shrouded in rolling mists and towering pine & deodar trees, unknown trails running through the valleys, orchards full of fresh fruits, and rivers flowing downstream, these mountain towns would surely add the perfect dose of tranquility that our chaotic minds are seeking amidst the usual hustle of life!
