1 Kudremukh: It literally means “horse's head”. It is a small hill station near Mangalore, my native place, and I thoroughly enjoy the non-commercial atmosphere here.

2 Lohagarh, Rajmachi, Panhala and Harishchandra Gadh: I love going there to trek, especially during the monsoon.

3 Igatpuri: I went there for a Vipassana course. It gives you a fresh perspective on life and is a must visit for everyone.

4 Spiti valley: It is a desert mountain valley in the Himalayas. I would love to explore the grandeur of the Himalayas even further soon.

5 Nagarhole national park, Coorg: This was my favourite off-beat holiday. I got a chance to stay with the Adivasis for three days and explore the forest and its wilderness.
