Prince Charming

When I was thinking of penning down my solo birthday trip this year, my thoughts had taken me two years down the memory lane. I was about to turn 25. Weird longings were swirling in my brain. Birthday directly under stars, soaking up myself in the surreal nature, enjoying the serene peace of jungles. Yeah I wanted to go on a trek to some beautiful lush green trail. By the way, did I make it? It’s a big “NOOO”. I…

It was an impulsive plan and I had no idea of making to the trek. But suddenly the travel bug prickled me to take it. Yo! Yo! It was my first and mast trekking experience. “Don’t live your life bound by the shackles of your own schedule” My roommate had booked “Night trek to Kunti betta” for four of us with thrillophilia. We were all set to start to Bangalore. Suddenly my friend received a call from the trek co-ordinator…

July 19, 2016 Maheshwari RB Comments 4 comments

The idea of sitting idle in room scared me; the idea of travelling solo scared me too; But the scariest part was my poor Hindi. But deep in heart, I knew I would regret later wasting my time in room if I hadn’t taken this trip. I decided to proceed with the trip all by myself. Here’s me signing in to write about my solo venture to Khajuraho-For the love of architechture. I boarded the bus to Khajuraho at around 8:30…

Himalayan Trek – Chandrakhani Pass

July 14, 2016 Maheshwari RB Comments 1 comment

This 2016 indeed have taught me few best lessons of my life time. One after the other, shocks were coming from all ends. When you are frustrated with your own life and don’t know where life will take you and don’t know what God has planned for you, all you will be wanting, will be a place where you can just vanish. That’s when I booked Chandrakhani pass trek- 10 days off the grid, 10 days of being in the…

My Solo travel to the Ghost city

July 2, 2016 Maheshwari RB Comments 0 Comment

“Danush Kodi ! – The land that is no longer there.” Just imagine that some town which existed about half a century ago no longer exists now? This scariest imagination had led me to Danush kodi. Here begins my first solo travel. The Island of Rameshwaram in Ramanathapuram district is quite famous for its religious importance. The Pamban island is connected to the main land by Pamban bridge-the India’s first cantilever bridge which has survived many devastating cyclones. As soon as I decided…

Lust with Mountains

Here I am To escape the humdrum of life, To live a life off the grid. Here I am High above the chaos of life; Into the wild, Into the High lands. My heart shouts deafeningly inside; “Here U belong” “Here U belong” Here I am High on life once again, Harder paths have thought me lessons, Bitter experiences have thought me morals, But Now nothing can stop me from being delighted. Here I am Over the moon once again,…

Mountain Diaries

Dear mountains, Falling head over heals for you at my first sight, Everywhere I turn, I felt the total sense of belongingness. High above the skyline, High above the mountains, You taught me the best lessons of life. How can I part with you? When the life seemed dreary, You made it cheery. How can I part with you? When I struggled to take a step ahead, You raised my spirits to reach the summit. How can I part with…

Solo Trek to Sharavathi Valley

March 31, 2016 Maheshwari RB Comments 0 Comment

“When the world seems dreary and without promise, and one thing after another has gone wrong, just walk up, step to the edge and see the world below. You will realize the true meaning of life.” Booking for the trek alone was the best decision I had ever taken at that moment, having gone through a lot for the past three months. How much ever I tried, I ended up thinking the same thing which I badly wanted to forget….

October 8, 2015 Maheshwari RB Comments 0 Comment

Here I am signing in again to write about my Pune trip. Despite the hectic work of March(Financial Year End), the excitement of visiting Pune had made me more cheerful all along march.
