Every year, around this time, I book tickets to meet my family. And every time I tell myself that I have outgrown this festival, and it wouldn't be as fun as it was as a kid growing up in Dehradun. So I get my laptop along to finish pending work and make plans with friends to hang out. . But the moment the dhaaks come out, and the pandals are decked up, it all comes rushing back to me. The carefree banter, the incessant hogging, the breathless laughter, and just pure joy of being around friends and family for 18 hours a day. Durga Pujo is not, and has never been, a religious festival. Heck I have never offered a single aarti all these years. But it's definitely the best feeling and I hope I never outgrow that. :) . Shubho Mahashtami to all of you. ❤️ . #themountaingirltales #festivalsofindia #durgapuja #festivity #family #friends #celebrations #love #teampixel #mahashtami #picoftheday

The wind's whistle is shrill, The cold Earth is up again, And the year is arriving at its final destination. ❄️ . Cannot wait to head back to some of my favourite mountain places and look at them in a different season. Here's to frosty mornings and toasty mugs! 😁 . #themountaingirltales #wonderlust #instahimachal #onehimachal #himachaltourism #himachalpictures #sangla #likeamountaingirl #cntgiveitashot #natgeoyourshot #lpindia #tripotocommunity #travelgram #photographersofindia #indiapictures #visualambassadors #igersofindia #travelgram#himalayantravellers #himalayangeographic #throwbackthursday

"All the birds have flown up and gone; A lonely cloud floats leisurely by. We never tire of looking at each other Only the mountain and I." . #themountaingirltales #thegreatoutdoors #mountainlove #likeamountaingirl #instatravel #instahimachal #himalayangeographic #winteriscoming #himachalpictures #lifeoftravel #whyihike #teampixel #followmytravels #onehimachal

It's okay if every weekend doesn't turn into trips that make you squeal in delight. Some might be quiet and contemplative, allowing you room to grow. Don't think of it as a sad trade-off for something exciting. There's a reason why the best ideas strike you in the bathroom or while waiting in queue.😄 . Today, let's give mundane a chance to be marvellous. ☺️ . #themountaingirltales #wonderlust #instahimachal #onehimachal #himachaltourism #himachalpictures #jibhi #jaloripass #likeamountaingirl #cntgiveitashot #natgeoyourshot #lpindia #tripotocommunity #travelgram #photographersofindia #indiapictures #visualambassadors #igersofindia #travelgram

"I scrambled up one of the hilly terrains of Kumaon. It was freezing, I couldn’t feel my fingers, I was constantly slipping on wet rocks and breathlessness was slowly creeping in. There was a sharp blast of cold air, and I couldn’t have been freezing any more than I already was. . And yet, I’d take all of this over beaches any day." . This is usually followed by an oft-asked question - Why then, do I choose the mountains every time? . "It’s a place where your vague worries vanish into a herd of goats happily running past you, and where a chat with a local teaches you more about life than all your text books combined. This is where you learn, that despite the pain at the back of your throat after a strenuous hike, you are far more capable of doing things that you were made to believe you couldn’t ever do." . Reminiscing about all my favourite mountain spots today. ☺️ . #themountaingirltales #incredibleuttarakhand #uttarakhandtraveller #ranikhet #exploreranikhet #euttranchal #himalayantravellers #himalayangeographic #cntgiveitashot #tripotocommunity #telltnlindia #indiapictures #travelblogger #travelgram #OTHallOfFrame #teampixel #girlswhotravel #mytraveldiaries #rearviewmirror

The best views really do come after the hardest climb. 😍 . Here in picture, a panaromic view of the stunning Bhimtal lake from Golu temple.
