2015 was a good year of travel for us. From trekking in Ladakh to river rafting on Ganges in Rishikeh to forests in nearby Dandeli  and of course a quick criss cross across USA, it was a year of exploring and experiencing. We look forward to more such experiences in 2016 and will share them in in these pages.

As ever, we are thankful to H V Kumar, for all the help in planning this trip.

We wish you all a very Happy and Fabulous New Year! Be with us. Happy travelling!
