Gurudongmar Lake (Highest lake in the world and in India)

Snow capped mountains, deep blue sky, barren plateaus, colored hills, shadow of the clouds. This is not just a place ... Its a Dream.

This is Gurudongmar Lake at North Sikkim in India. And it's the end of our dream tour. This is our return journey from Gurudongmar Lake at Sikkim in India. The return journeys are always relaxing. Specially if you start your journey at 3 a.m.in the morning. I also wished to have a nap. But when you pass through such a wonderfuland fascinating cold desert it's difficult to close your eyes. Gurudongmar lake is at 17800 feet and we are rapidly climbing down. One thing I would like to mention that when you come here it seems to be a plain land. But actually it is not. During this return journey you will clearly notice the slope of this plateau. And we have left behind us the cold desert and reached the check post of Gorkha Rifle Regiment of Indian Army. Chopta valley is nearly five kilometer fromhere. Chopta valley of Lachen is like Yumthang valley of Lachung.

THE JOURNEY | Danielle Paiva (Guest Series: 10)

“A man needs to travel. By his own, not through stories, pictures, books or TV. He needs to travel by himself, with his eyes and feet, to understand what is his. To one day plant his own trees and value them. Knowing the cold to enjoy the heat. And the opposite. Feel the distance and absence of shelter to be well under his own roof. A man needs to travel to places that he does not know to break this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine it, and not simply as it is or can be. That makes us teachers and doctors of what we have not seen, when we should be students, and simply go and see.” This text by Amyr Klink has always inspired me. I discovered my passion for travel (exploring places), languages ​​(knowing how to communicate) and photography(recording moments) in 2005, when I did my first exchange program at the age of 17. In July I went with a group of young Brazilians to take a basic English course in Toronto, Canada. This group trip, which was guided, was organized an

Wonders of Georgia (Guest Series: 20)

Seven Days across Georgia I will always remember 27th of December as the day we fulfilled yet another travel dream. Years of waiting, hunting for affordable plane tickets and five hours on the bus and we were finally there-the heart of Georgia -Tbilisi.  We have left our backpacks at our flat and started strolling through the city. First impressions-mad drivers, amazing architecture and our first 'SUPRA'( dinner ). By accident we have found a small, inconspicuous looking restaurant, owned by an older Georgian Couple. Using first, English (not a word was useful), German, body language and finally Polish we have managed to order something to eat. What we did not know at that time was that this place would become our second home during our stay. The food, the ambiance and charm of its owners created something that I would call an ultimate dining experience.  Where to eat, what to eat and most def try CAFE NIKOLAZI, ANTON KATALIKOSI ST.34, TBILISI 0105, GEORGIA *Khachapuri -bread w
