Prologue This is a trip that almost did not happen. A trip, which was delayed multiple times and even when I eventually left for Kasar Devi (originally I had planned to go there), I was almost in no mood to travel. Hence, this trip to Ranikhet was a forced one. An anomaly of sorts, because I...

It all began in the year 2009. My wanderings started with Kumaon region. Praveer and Rahul were the co-conspirators. Rakesh had joined a little later, to be precise, two trips later. We became friends for life. We did an aimless wandering in Kumaon region covering Nainital, Almora, Binsar...

EPISODE - I IGI Delhi - 7:00pm Flight delays, missing the trains, luggage misplacement, thus our journey began with all the chaos soon after we landed in IGI-Delhi. We never thought Delhi would be so hot in September. Waiting for Aaditya who was flying in a different flight which was running...

Looking at a window of opportunity to execute another one of my mission spreadsheets, I completed a self-drive trip through Kumaon (UK) during May 2016. Skipping the teasers, I am starting with the log straight away: Day ZERO Apr 01, 2016 – May 23, 2016 Planning – Changes – Cancellation –...
