Solo Travel Diaries

What I have learned about being alone, well.

Treks & Trails

Slow walks. Big mountains. Very tired feet.

Food I Remembered

A meal on a banana leaf. A coconut chutney that made me cry once.

What my third eye captures.

Photo series in progress — being slowly assembled. The first one will appear here soon.

What is coming next.

Coorg

Coffee estates. Quiet mornings. The smell of fresh roast at 6 a.m.

Hogenakkal Falls

Coracles, mist, the Cauvery roaring. A weekend break.
