The culture of Kashmir is something else entirely. I was enchanted by the warmth of the people and the blend of Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions. The Kashmiri food, especially the Rogan Josh and Yakhni, was out of this world. I also bought some beautiful Pashmina shawls as souvenirs. The experience was a cultural journey as much as it was a scenic one

Varanasi is unlike anywhere else in the world. It’s the spiritual heart of India, and the moment I arrived, I could feel the intense energy of the place. Watching the Ganga Aarti at Dashashwamedh Ghat was a transformative experience, something I’ll never forget. The devotion and rituals at the ghats are awe-inspiring.
