Experiencing first ever jump in open waters at Halong bay to kayaking, from witnessing the train pass through the train street to having dinner at Food Street, cycling through paddy fields and swimming at An Bang beach, visiting the war museum to sending a postcard home; Vietnam you are a beauty.
I visited Varkala last year during Christmas, the vibes there are so strong that this year planning my Christmas holiday was easy, I returned to Varkala.
This story is long due, sitting in my balcony watching my plants grow and remembering Meghalaya.
This Dusshera I took a trip to Meghalaya, the choice of place was easy as I had heard, read and have friends from there, now it’s my time to pen one.
December has always been a month of reflection and so, I took my year end trip to Varkala.
Varkala is a tinsel town with a shoreline, ~40 kms from Trivandrum, it is also known for their yoga retreats and the Vishnu temple (Janardana Swami Temple).
Temple town, rustic by-lanes, friendly cafes and warm smiles – this is my first impression of Hampi. I finally visited this sleepy town in the end of December, a perfect way to ring the new-year.
