Traveling,Trekking,Hiking

Traveling is a wonderful way to explore the world, experience new cultures, and create unforgettable memories.Traveling offers a chance to broaden your horizons and gain a deeper understanding of the world. I got an opportunity to explore  9 countries - Nepal, Switzerland,Germany,Spain,Austria, Italy,Hungary,Vatican City and France.


I love nature and hence I explore the mountain terrains, forests, lakes and beaches. Trekking/Hiking gives the opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse oneself in the tranquility of nature. Whether it’s traversing through dense forests, climbing rugged mountains, or walking along serene rivers, each trek offers a unique experience and a chance to witness breathtaking landscapes. Many a times I trekked through Nallamala forests in India. Abroad, I hiked Cinque Terra(Framura, Italy).
