𝟮𝟲 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗖 𝟮𝟲 𝗔𝗗𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗚𝗨𝗜𝗗𝗘 | 𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗞 𝗜𝗡 𝗕𝗜𝗢 This photo of Nohkalikai Waterfall is from my backpacking trip with @finical.homosapien to Meghalaya back in 2015. The thirst for adventure though began in 2012 when I attended a leadership and rock climbing camp organised in IHCAE, Chemchey in Sikkim, India; it was from this Meghalaya trip that I pursued backpacking and adventure genuinely. When I am in a few cities, I always look for adventure activities. If you too are wondering where to go for an adventure in cities around the world, I have compiled a list of 26 Cities contributed by travel bloggers worldwide. I have added Sohra (Cherrapunji) to this list too. It includes cities of almost all the continents except Antarctica. Do give it a read. You can save the post for future. I would love to hear where you did your first adventure activity. Let me know in the comments section.Contributors- @cravetheplanet @thesmoothescape @directionallychallengedtravel @waywardwayfarer_ @solopassport @tymrazem.pl @helenrapp @haleyblackall @rawmalroams @worldadventurists @paulapinstheplanet @jjs.bucketlist @oregonisforadventure @explorewithlora @aworldinreach @livingoutlau @theunknownenthusiast @stingy_nomads @kesitoandfro @tikitouringkiwi @veggtravel @taraletsanywhere @placesofjuma @lifeofdoing see

𝑨 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊 𝑨 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝑲𝒐𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒂, 𝑵𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅 💟 As the morning sun lit up the hills of Kohima, the clouds and the layered fog dissolved to reveal the beautiful city. Sitting in an armchair with a pen and journal, I noted my thoughts on it and about Mt. Japfü trek. What I love the most about hill stations like Kohima is walking solo around the narrow tranquil streets- a cat relaxing on a brown wooden tin house, the folks with their flamboyant traditional Naga attires heading for the Sunday Church Mass and the distant high hills.Read the blog post & Travel Guide on Mt. Japfü trek- 🅻🅸🅽🅺 🅸🅽 🅱🅸🅾Have you been to Kohima - the capital of Nagaland in India? What do you love about Kohima?N.B. The past month was a tough one as Covid had hit four of our family members including me. While Deuta, Sis and I have recovered, Maa is still in the hospital. Her health has improved. She has been able to eat rice/Kichidi, tea, biscuits by herself and might be shifted from ICU to personal Cabin tomorrow. I hope each one of you are staying safe and taking care of yourself. 🌻Photo- Shot on @redmiindia Note 5 on January 2020.#kohima #nagaland #discovernagaland #hillstation #nagalandtourism #explorenagaland #explorewithchiring

Fingers under the gloves went numb, I had to warm them up once in a while. Adding to that, the strongest of the wind blowing with no mercy pierced through the body every few seconds as if I were a droplet of water; and the wind was a fraction of light resulting in the formation of a rainbow.The triumph of summiting the Japfu peak can be interpreted as that rainbow.""In a world of chaos, it is through travel that we build meaningful relationships with friends, nature, culture and unexplored places. Travel unifies souls, some say. Well, it indeed has gifted me a friend ( @____kez____ ) with whom I share the same zeal and love for nature and adventure. The trek to Mount Japfu has taught me the quintessence of friendship and culture. Chanting the Angami war cry Mepfü while trekking with them, made me feel like I was a part of their culture. Thank you, Nagaland!"Read the entire travelogue, travel guide, and reasons why you must do the Mt. Japfü trek in the article LINK IN BIO.
