Glimpse of a surreal holiday, in the lap of a remote village of Garhwal Uttarakhand, watching some of the mightiest Himalayan peaks come alive in the sunrise. This was definitely my favourite moment from the weekend. ❤️ #themountaingirltales #thegreatoutdoors #lpindia #telltnlindia #tripotocommunity #uttarakhandtraveller #uttarakhandheaven #uttarakhandtourism #uttarakhandgram #incredibleindia #garhwal #kanatal #himalayantravellers #himalayangeographic #himalayasin #shotononeplus #euttaranchal #shotononeplus

Riot of colours. Ever-changing, delightful weather. Big lawns. Mountains everywhere you see. My Doon 🤗 #themountaingirltales #weekendvibes #sodoon #streetsofdehradun #ig_india #instagood #winters #uttarakhandtraveller #instadaily

Because @uzuuumaki transported me back to 2018 and this hell of a journey to Spiti. It remains my best decision till date. Stepping out of my comfort zone to travel with 16 strangers, to the land that made me believe in magic. Because what else will you call this? ✨ #themountaingirltales #thegreatoutdoors #pinvalley #spitilife #spitivalley #himalayantravellers #himachalpictures #instahimachal #instahimalayas #incredibleindia #incrediblespiti #indiapictures #teampixel #natgeoyourshot #lpindia #CNTGiveItAShot #onehimachal #myspitiholiday #telltnlindia #himachaltourism #_soi

Plan for the weekend - reminiscing about crisp air, snow-capped peaks, looming pine trees and moonrise treats.

Do you really want to travel, or just want to show people that you have travelled? The answer to this question could be key to solving the problem of overtourism that the world at large is facing. Every place is overcrowded and littered. Just last evening a friend told me how she's been to this famous cafe in Landour before, but never saw the humongous pile of trash on the hillside next to it. She only saw it when her partner pointed it out to her. And this place is really popular! But EVERY person I know who's taken a picture near this cafe has never bothered to see beyond the Instagram frame they created. So, how do you become a better traveller? First, assess why you really want to go to a place. Is it the food, the culture, the people, scenic views that attract you, or the fact that your colleague/friend/favourite influencer took great pictures there? If your reasons for travelling are superficial, your experiences will be, too. And then there's the aspect of travelling offbeat. I understand you want to see a certain monument in a city because it is famous. But it might also be worth checking out the less-travelled places, which will eventually help create tourism infrastructure that employs locals of that region. And will also reduce the burden of tourists on an already overcrowded hotspot. And please, for God's sake, be respectful of the place and it's people. Just because you've paid to visit a place, doesn't mean you own it. Little things to take care of, but they do make an impact in the long run, don't you think? #themountaingirltales #responsibletravel #overtourismsolutions #traveltheworld #photooftheday #mondaythoughts

Scrolling through my gallery on a Sunday morning and finding memories of beautiful nights in Budapest. In the picture is St Stephen's Basilica, the biggest in Budapest, and situated bang in the centre of a very busy and lively 'Pest' part of the city. The sprawling square you see here is flanked by a host of terraced cafes, bars and restaurants. The entire place comes alive at night, with music in the air, and sound of laughter from every corner. The spontaneity of the place, clash of cultures, and the sudden surprises that every street threw at us made me fall in love with the concept of exploring cities. They are like a portal to a lot of different places at the same time. Don't you think? #themountaingirltales #telltnlindia #lpindia #tripofreak #shoesonloose #justwravel #tripotocommunity #streetsofhungary #budapest #hungarytourism #hungarytoday #europetravel #madebygoogle #pixel2 #teampixel #igdaily

Abundant forests to chart new trails. Uninterrupted view of the Aravallis. Plethora of migratory birds serving as your morning wake-up call. Ample space to walk around, cycle and play. And the most beautiful and unique treehouse residence. Couldn't have asked for a better place to live my childhood dreams. ❤️✨ #themountaingirltales #telltnlindia #lpindia #tripotocommunity #luxuryhotel #rajasthan #jaipur #besthotelsintheworld #treehouse #ig_india

Always torn between choosing to capture or simply savour. But worked out pretty well with this shot, no? . #themountaingirltales #shotononeplus #telltnlindia #lpindia #goatourism #sogoa #incredibleindia #beautifulsunsets #ig_india #ig_sunsetshots #palolem
