A guide to McLeodganj/Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh based on 2 trips we did 2 years apart.
This little slice of heaven has something for everyone including hikers, foodies and shopaholics.
Read on to find places to visit to avoid the peak season messy crowds.
A long thread 🧵
McLeodganj is famous for being the residence in exile of the Dalai Lama, and so naturally a huge Tibetan community has developed as well as numerous expats coming for learning, of whom many have settled there. So it is a wonderful place to experience a mix of various cultures.

Visited the Andamans & Nicobar Islands finally! It is a white sand paradise!
The natural beauty of this place is heavenly but public infrastructure for tourists needs an upgrade at some places. @TourismDeptANI
Here is my Trip report!
Long thread 👇
We took the Vistara flight from Delhi to Port Blair with a technical stop at Kolkata i.e. no aircraft change. The aircraft is A320 so it wasn’t too much of a loss using the J voucher for PY.
For the Port Blair leg of the trip, we stayed at the gorgeous Welcomhotel Bay Island by @ITCHotels . Let me tell you, the views are epic!
See for yourself 👇 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Nestled on top of a hill overlooking the sea with amazing views from the restaurant and pool, this cozy hotel is easily the best in Port Blair.
The superior deluxe rooms and the suites have sea views where as the base rooms have garden view. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Stayed at two of the topmost Andamans properties this week.
Taj Exotica Andamans, Havelock Island
&
Welcomhotel Bay Island by ITC Hotels.
Here is the TAJ experience 👇 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The Taj Andamans property is one of the most sought after one in Taj’s collection.
Situated right by the Radhanagar beach, the most beautiful beach in India, Taj Andamans defeats most hotels in India just by virtue of its location.

Ok folks! Time for a break from never ending credit card posts.
Grab a cup of coffee and walk with me down memory lane into our experience last year to JAISALMER, the jewel in the Thar desert and the INDO-PAK border.
A VERY long 🧵 that you don’t want to skip. 👇 1️⃣ twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

I had hoped to use CV points for the flight to Jaisalmer but they only have flights to Jodhpur.
So i made a “darr k aage jeet hai” decision by choosing to fly Spicejet. Thats how excited i was to reach JSA that i broke my word not to fly masalajet. 😅😅

As i sit here shivering in the cold #delhiwinter ,and seeing the indian milesverse get pumped with stories of epic redemptions, lets take a break and get back to the simple joys of basic travel for a bit.
🚨 Long thread Alert! 👇 🧵 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
A while back in another cold Delhi winter, the wife and I made a snap decision to get the hell out of the fog, smog and the brain fog in Delhi and fly down south to Goa for 3 weeks as we were on a study break! Of course i didnt have the points to sponsor that long a trip!!
