The winter in Himalayas

via Instagram

Winter is a beautiful time to be on the mountains to experience snowfall and see the mountains transforming to a winter wonderland!

I remember how in one of my winter treks in the Himalayas, as soon as the Sun goes down it would get intolerably cold. We would layer up as much as we could and not move an inch from the warmth of the bonfire, and share a lot of travel stories with one another. Cheers to beautiful times!

So, where are you planning your winter adventure??

An evening in the old city of Hyderabad

via Instagram

As the cities are growing rapidly and moving towards modernization, there's almost always that old cultural quarter somewhere in the corner that still preserves the lifestyle and heritage of the city from the olden times.

While the city of Hyderabad is getting rapidly urbanized, there's still the old city on the other side that maintains the history and heritage identity. When you take a walk here, it is as if you are time traveling by a few decades to the past. From the iconic Charminar to various other heritage buildings, and bazaars that still have that old world style, the times certainly haven't changed here a lot!

Do you have a cultural quarter in the city you live in? What do you think is different there compared to the modern side of the city?

Have you ever been outside photographing during a storm? I know it's crazy right? But even in the craziest of situations, Nature is sometimes at her best!

Have you ever noticed? there is always a strange eerie atmosphere that prelude a storm and when it passes, there is suddenly a whiff of freshness in the air, everything is so polished and beautiful. And especially when the storm clears during the golden hour, the result is a pure Magic to rejoice!

The fun of travel photography is in carefully observing the details of the place we visit! Do you think this is a random flower artwork? please observe carefully! This is a beautifully carved ceiling of the famous Thirumalai Nayak Palace in Tamil Nadu, India.

The little sculptures, the viewing platform, and the layers of architecture finally leading to the floral work adding to the depth and 3D appeal. Isn't it mind-blowing, the number of details gone into the making of this ceiling?
