How beautiful is the interior of @silver_linings_b How beautiful is the interior of @silver_linings_bir ?! 

Did you know the interior walls here are made of cow dung?! Brilliance, right?! 

I sipped my hot chocolate, picked up a Ruskin Bond, and sat on these handcrafted Rajasthani chairs to call in an evening ❤️✨

Save this post to make things handy during your Bir trip!
Getting over your preconceived notions while trave Getting over your preconceived notions while traveling // ✨

Upon reaching Bir, I saw a few shops whose boards read "Fruit Wines" and I thought it wouldn't be anything interesting. 

Enter: a friend I made in @thebunkerhostel , @skydiverharshad ! We got talking and he offered me Rhododendron Wine.

It took my brain a few seconds (read:minutes) to comprehend what Rho-do-WHAT wine?! 🤯

I was completely baffled and requested him to teach me the pronunciation after asking him what a Rhododendron is! 

So turns out it is Nepal's national flower and it grows extensively in some parts of the North and North East India. It naturally has some alcoholic properties making it a perfect flower for an alcoholic drink. 

These shops had Peach Wine, Cherry Wine, Apple Wine, and what not!? 😍

 I unfortunately could taste only the Rhododendron Wine and hoping to sip others on my next trip. 

And another unfortunate event was me not get permission to take these bottles back home 😔 

So next time I see something where my mind says that it's meh, I'm going to go against it 😁

I learnt how to cycle only in 2017 and cycling on the mountains took me (and my lungs😂) for a surprise! 

I wasn't ready for the slopes but this only has made me want to stronger and go back to the mountains to cycle again ! 

✨✨

You can rent out cycles just 300-500 meters before the landing site at an extremely nominal rates! 

People at @thebunkerhostel will help you plan out an entire route of 9km and back from a forest area! 

Have you cycled on the mountains? How was it for you? ✨
Walking amongst the Deodar trees was one of the be Walking amongst the Deodar trees was one of the best things  happened to me during my time in #dharamkot ❤️

However, I was really upset to see only TWO freaking patches of abundant trees on my 2km walk from Dharamkot to #MacLeodganj. 
Concrete jungles (read:human explosion) have taken up all the space on the mountains which is horrifying! 

Well, idk what can be done about this but we can atleast try to be responsible travelers while exploring, right?! 

On a lighter note, happy Valentine's to my love - nature & travel ❤️
Nymphadora Tonks walking out of a traditional Hima Nymphadora Tonks walking out of a traditional Himachali house in #Dharamkot called @kitchen.rain which is going to steal your heart indefinitely! 

Because having a delicious meal in a traditional house's verandah with a backdrop of mountains (which has trees on it instead of ever hounding buildings) with furry paws running around is always a win-win for me! 

Nidhi, who runs this place gels with you as a long lost friend! She is trying hard to fight with the owner of this place to not to demolish it to make it a pukka Ghar! 

I'm really hoping she convinces him to do the same. 

Have you also seen these trends overall? I'm really worried about locals all over the country trying to catch upto the city lifestyle inturn ruining our original roots and ambience. 

Here's to us praying that our traditions/culture/ambience/languages remaining intact or atleast alive ✨🙏
