    Crater Lake the Deepest (and Bluest, too?)

    A lot has been said about the first sight of the deepest lake in the United States of America. Cheryl Strayed in her memoir ‘Wild’ said that her first look at the lake had been one of disbelief, just as her guidebook had told her it would be.  Even...
  • Thurston Lava Tube

    A walk through Thurston Lava Tube

    How about I take you into Thurston Lava Tube, today? Also called the NaHuku, this lava tube lies in the Volcanic National Park in Big Island, Hawaii. We visited this national park a few years ago and I was so fascinated by the things I saw and learnt while...

    Sculpted by nature: A Red-Rock Garden for the Gods

    While I was charting out my trip to Colorado — a few years ago— I completely missed ‘The Garden of the Gods.’ To this day, I don’t know how that happened. Now that it’s in my ‘been-there-done-that-list,’ I’m glad I didn’t go all the way there only to have...

  • Royal Gorge

    Royal Gorge| The grand canyon of the Arkansas

    When we were planning our Colorado trip, one attraction we were particularly attracted to was the Royal Gorge in Cañon City. There seemed to be a lot to see and do at the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park. We were travelling with my ‘bestie’ and her family and it seemed...
  • Another beach, an island and a beach on the island

    Up next, was Malpe Beach. Malpe is around 50 kilometres south of Maravanthe. But as we drove down Edapally-Panvel Highway, this time, it felt like our destination was farther away than we thought it was. It was only when I looked up the map on my phone that I...
