prini peak

Perhaps everyone dreams of it, but not everyone is lucky enough to traverse the paths unexplored. And as a famous saying goes, “Sometimes the path we choose, makes our life.” Back in December 2016, I came across this trailer of a documentary called ‘The Fall’ on YouTube which showed the journey of two young adventurists, […]

Humans Of Spiti - A Photo Blog

Needless to say, I drew inspiration from Brandon Stanton, who took the world of social media by storm, back in 2010 when he started ‘Humans of New York‘.

About Us

backpacking romance about us

A few years back, we met while on our way to a high altitude Himalayan trek. Little did we know that life would become an exhilarating journey from then onwards. In the last couple of years, we have traveled to a lot of places (in India and abroad) and gone back to the mountains, again and again, sharing a common love for the quaint Himalayan towns and Lemon-Honey-Ginger tea!

No, we didn’t really quit our jobs to travel. In fact, we are on a quest of learning how to balance our regular work schedules and our passion for traveling. You’ll mostly find us sitting at mountainside cafes on weekends, binging on momos and Maggi but occasionally, we love to get drunk on beaches as well!

As one of us has the zeal to write and the other can’t just let go of the lens, we thought to compile our backpacking stories and unwind the tales to all other enthusiastic travelers like you.
