A long thread 🧵 ImageImageImageImage 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. ImageImage

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

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!

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… Image 2️⃣
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.

Let me suggest to you how to do #Goa right!

🚨 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!!
