If Kyrgyzstan wasn’t on your radar, it’s time to fix that! Starting December 7, @FlyTezJet will fly direct from Delhi to Bishkek. And I’ve got just the right 7-day self-drive Kyrgyzstan itinerary.
Why self-drive Kyrgyzstan?
Because the country feels built for it. You don’t need to be an off-road expert for this particular itinerary, just a confident driver who loves wide skies and quiet roads. 1/9


Before you go, a few must-knows.
1. You don’t need a 4x4 for this itinerary.
2. Avoid night driving because the lighting is poor, and potholes sneak up on you.
3. Book yurts through WhatsApp, use Google Translate for messages in Kyrgyz, and check Visit Karakol if your route goes near the borders.
4. Police checks happen, but everyone’s polite if you are. Carry documents, drive responsibly, and you’ll be golden.

Phuket Old Town has some seriously good cafés. Here are my personal favourites from this trip, the ones I’d happily return to. A little thread 🧵 1/7 Baan 125
Easily my favourite of the lot. Perfect spot to sit outside and people-watch. The vibe is so laid back, love it!
Their dirty coffee is the best I’ve had. If I had to recommend one café here, this would be it. 2/7

Bangkok is loud, glittery, chaotic and addictive. Here’s my personal no-skip list. The things I’d happily do all over again. Save this for your trip, steal it, and share your favourites too. 1/10
Must-Eat
If I had to pick one dish to fly back for? Nai Mong Hoi Thod’s oyster omelette. Crispy edges, pillowy middle, briny oysters. What a messy, glorious plate it was! And for vegans, Jae Lee Vegan dishes out flavours so bold you won’t even miss the meat. 2/10

🇻🇳 Your 10-Day Vietnam Itinerary
Efficient. Scenic. Delicious. This one’s got it all. This Vietnam itinerary is for those who want a wholesome but not hectic Vietnam trip. 🧵 1/12 Day 1⃣: Hanoi
Check into the Old Quarter and grab bún chả at Bún Chả Hương Liên—yes, that Obama-approved spot. Stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake, sip an egg coffee at Giang Café, and people-watch. For the evening go head first into Hanoi’s nightlife with some bia hơi (local beer). Cheap, cheerful, and oh-so-Hanoi. 2/12

What NOT to do in Vietnam! 🇻🇳
Vietnam is incredible, but somethings are overhyped, and others can totally derail your trip. So here’s my unhinged list of what not to do in Vietnam. 🧵 1/13


Don’t take the Hai Van Pass by car
A car won’t do justice to this epic coastal road between Da Nang and Hue. Rent a motorbike or join a motorbike tour to fully experience the winding roads and the misty hills. 2/13

In 2022, I took my mum on her first international trip to Oman. I wanted her to experience all things outdoors—and man, did we have the best time! Fast forward a few years, and it’s the third most-read post on my blog and perhaps the most-asked question on my Instagram. About time I share it here on X—my 8-day Oman road trip itinerary. 1/10🧵
Day 1: Muscat
Land in Muscat and, first thing, check out the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque. It’s a gorgeous piece of architecture. After that, stroll through Mutrah Souq, a cool, old-school market full of local crafts and spices—perfect for picking up souvenirs. End the day with a sunset at the Corniche, and for dinner, I recommend Bait Al Luban for authentic Omani dishes. 2/10

I've been getting a ton of requests for destination help, and I can't believe this gem gets overlooked! Here’s my 10-day Morocco itinerary to get you hyped and maybe even planning your next trip. Trust me, you'll thank me later. Let’s Marrakech some memories! 🇲🇦 1/12



How much does a Morocco trip cost?

Travelling can be as cheap or expensive as you make it! A group tour to the Sahara is around 150 USD, and a private tour is about 600 USD. Trains and buses are super cheap, but taxis can get pricey fast, especially in Moroccan traffic! Food costs are anywhere between 2 and 12 USD, and fresh orange juice is only 0.50 to 3 USD.

Costs of travelling in Morocco (flights & visa not included):

Budget: $170 – $590 USD weekly per person
Mid-range: $720 – $1430 USD weekly per person
High-end: $1480 – $2320 USD weekly per person

These costs depend on things like accommodation, transportation, and activities. 2/12

In 2022, my mum called me saying her passport would expire without a single stamp! I took the hint and booked us both a trip to OMAN 🇴🇲. It was her first international trip, and she tried snorkeling, quad biking, hiking a wadi, and loads more. If Oman’s been on your travel radar, here’s my Guide to a Road Trip in Oman—everything from routes to must-see spots and costs. Ready to hit the road? 1/7🧵
1️⃣ Getting Here and Around

Fly into Muscat, the capital city. Use O-taxi to travel internally in Muscat. For the road trip, rent a 4x4 vehicle for the best experience—parts of the terrain can’t be accessed without one. 2/7

Begin at the Pantheon, believed to be the most preserved monument of ancient Rome. Then head to Piazza Navona to visit some of the stunning fountains.

7 places to consider when planning a #Turkey #itinerary, beyond Istanbul! How many have you been to?





1⃣Kas

My personal favourite! A coastal town with the best beach clubs, brilliant boat tours and stunning views on the Lycian trail- that’s a recipe for a perfect holiday for me.

Bonus: Take a road trip from Antalya to Kas, and thank me later. (best decision EVER)

Last year during the Cherry Blossom season we went on a 2-week journey through Japan, & spent INR 231,000 for the two of us (excluding flight & visa).

Peep below for the breakdown - all costs are for two.

A thread if you are planning a trip to #Japan :) 1/7

Food/Drinks: INR 52,600

One word- Konbini aka Convenience store. We almost always picked breakfast items from a convenience store. Sometimes even a second meal would be onigiri or vegetarian sushi roll with corn/sweet potato/vegan cup noodles.

We never cooked our meals in Japan. Because we LOVE Japanese food and had to try it all. We stuck to vegan Japanese joints or places with veggie options. 2/7

In 2019 I spent 25 days travelling in Europe and spent INR 103,945 (excluding flights & visa)

Cities I stayed in: Munich, Berlin, Fussen, Salzburg, Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Karlovy Vary

A thread for #budget travellers :) 1/7
Food/Drinks: INR 22,600
You know some people believe that they haven’t experienced a country until they’ve tried local food - I’m those people! Ways I kept this budget in check:

1⃣I cooked up a storm with local ingredients- a tasty way to save some euros.
2⃣Booked hostel that provides breakfast, or stocked up on fresh berries, cereal and milk from the supermarket. Coffee on the go from McCafe- super affordable.
3⃣Alcohol is very affordable in some parts of Europe, for others, there’s a supermarket!
4⃣I ate at Middle Eastern curbside joints for a deliciously cheap feast. 2/7
