View this post on Instagram The suicide point series, swipe right to view a series of pictures from one of my absolute favourite spot in Himachal. . It’s been a while since I’ve been here, sitting by the road, spending a morning staring at tall mountains in front of me, but I know I’ll be there soon, walking on those beautiful roads, and clicking some more shots at this point, because I’m never getting over it. Plus, all the pictures were taken with precaution, and also none of the vehicles/people are at the edge, but there’s considerable amount of space between them and the edge, and what you see is sort of an optical illusion at play that makes them look like standing right on the edge. But what’s not an optical illusion is the sheer drop, and if you stare below, you can see the a Shimla-Kaza road by the Satluj river.

View this post on Instagram One of the defining characteristics of eastern Himalayas is how incredibly lush and irresistably green they are! Receiving almost four times as much rainfall as compared to the arid western Himalayas, eastern Himalayas are covered in dense forests and snowline starts much higher as well. So no wonder eastern Himalayas are biodiversity hotspots with astounding diversity in all flora, fauna and landscapes. And there’s a vast portion of lush green high altitude meadows that are not snow-covered in summers/monsoons and filled with crazy wild flowers when it rains. Arunachal Pradesh, Bhutan, Sikkim - all fall under eastern Himalayan zone and the difference is quite visible when you trek here and elsewhere in Himalayas. The first time I visited Sikkim in 2011 monsoon, I was honestly shocked by all the wildflowers dotting the high altitudes valleys. It wasn’t what I had expected Himalayas to look like, given I had only been to Ladakh, Lahaul and Spiti by then. I have since gone back to Sikkim thrice and the biodiversity never fails to amaze me. This time was no different as well, no sooner did we start the hike towards Lashar Valley at maybe about 3700-odd meters, the slopes were filled with several varieties of wildflowers including the humongous Sikkim Rhubarb. Hiking in Sikkim is always a pleasure, given how dazzling beautiful the eastern Himalayas are, only if you manage to avoid the thronging crowds that is though. :P Thankfully, with @ourguestdiary that problem was taken care of! Phew. A post shared by Neelima Vallangi (@neelimav) on Aug 20, 2019 at 8:49am PDT

View this post on Instagram “For most of my life, I slept on our rooftop under the kila. I imagined that everyone else in the world did too...” ? Hanging out for a few days in Jodhpur and chatting with locals put so much in perspective. . . Like how the stunning Mehrangarh Fort has been such a constant in their lives that many can’t help taking it for granted. How the King of Jodhpur now lives in one part of Umaid Bhawan Palace and still visits the old city sometimes, on foot, talking to people as they respectfully welcome his presence. How some of them have refurbished their old indigo houses into modern concrete structures but wish they hadn’t. How the hills around town, rocky with little vegetation, were their playgrounds growing up. How feeding fish at the manmade lakes in Jodhpur is akin to feeding their ancestors... . . How in the strikingly barren terrain near the fort, a king once dropped some foreign seeds from his private plane, hoping they would create food and wood for the people. But one of the seeds invaded everything and let nothing else grow... so in the early 2000s, a project began to pull out the invasive species without destroying the rocky terrain. It took 6 painstaking years to finish, the land was replanted with native species, and the area is now Rao Jodha Desert Rock Park - my fav place to hang out in Jodhpur, with many trails to hike, panoramic views of the fort and old city, manmade lakes, the wilderness teeming with small desert animals, a little station that felt like it was made for me to scribble some thoughts... and hardly anyone else in sight. . . Despite how heartbroken I felt at the state of the blue city, I loved hanging out on the rooftops of Jodhpur, hiking in the rugged Rao Jodha park, chatting with friendly locals, feasting on ker sangri (desert berries), riding a bicycle to the lakes and the golden sunsets. The resilience and warmth of Jodhpur sure grew on me ? . . #theshootingstar #jodhpurdiaries #wonderfullyrewarding #memorablemoments #igersrajasthan @radissonrewards @radisson.jodhpur A post shared by Shivya Nath (@shivya) on Sep 10, 2018 at 10:05pm PDT
