Southwest China is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life. I took this picture when I was en route to Shangri-La (Zhongdian).

Wagah Ceremony at the India-Pakistan Border
Wagah Ceremony at the border of India and Pakistan is another reason why tourists visit Amritsar (aside from visiting the Golden Temple). It’s just actually a flag lowering ceremony but amped with steroids LOL! The Wagah ceremony starts with the parade of soldiers from both sides. Since I was sitting at the Indian side, I [...]

The Golden Temple of Amritsar
Amritsar would probably be one of those last minute decisions we’ve made. Coming from Dharamsala, we were torned between going to Delhi (which was more than 500KM away) or Haridwar and Rishikesh. But since we already decided to visit a bird sanctuary in Rajasthan, we just went to Amritsar instead which was just a hundred [...]

Flipnomad’s Photo Thursday – Halloween at Clark Quay
I took this picture at Clark Quay Singapore a couple of years back. This is by far the biggest Halloween party I have ever seen in my life.

Dal Lake of Srinagar
Srinagar, Kashmir is something that sounds so exotic to me mainly because I never knew anyone personally who have been to this place. This is mainly attributed to the very unstable political situation in Kashmir that makes the place unvisited for so many years in the past. Luckily, in the past couple of years, there [...]

Flipnomad’s Photo Thursday – Kathmandu City
I was able to take this picture when I went to Swayambunath in Kathmandu. The view from the top is breathtaking not to mention that it’s almost surreal to think that this city exist on a valley surrounded by mountains. I can’t wait to get back to Nepal.
Every Single Day Counts
A few weeks ago I received a news about the death of a person I consider a friend I have never met. That person read, shared and quoted some of my posts and shared it to her friends and colleagues. Just like you and me, she’s also an avid traveler. Despite of a busy schedule [...]
Lamayuru – One of the most beautiful gompas in Ladakh
Lamayuru is another village suggested to us by another traveller we met in Kibber. Legend has it that the village used to be part of a lake which dried up. Legend aside, this is definitely one of the most breathtaking gompas I’ve ever seen in my life. Lamayuru is easily accessible from Leh via a [...]
