Life As Travellers
There are places which we like to visit time and again. Matheran is one of them. Be it winter, monsoon or summer, we have seen it in all seasons. Matheran is truly a hidden gem of the Sahyadris. The long walks along the cool shaded trails, red mud beneath the feet and the green cover above is nothing less than …
I had read about Dehene Village known as an offbeat monsoon retreat, raw and unexplored, offering opportunities to engage in various traditional experiences. It was Grassroutes which took the initiative of encouraging rural tourism in Dehene. The stunning landscapes, the crispness in the air, the solitude of the hills, the sound of the flowing streams, the simplicity of people and …
The waves came in slowly over the gentle slope of the beach and retreated even more leisurely. I walked on the black sand and reveled in the emptiness of the vast coastline.

The seashores here are dotted with coconut trees with small coconuts hanging in her thick foliage. The shore waits all day for the sun to turn red over the sea, turning the lanes of this tiny coastal village into a …
We enjoy trekking as we feel connected with nature and its deep solitariness. It gives immense happiness as we go looking for a wildflower in the woods, a plant growing in a rock, identifying a bird through its song, listening to the sound of a flowing stream and finding a way to it, or simply just listening to the whispering …
THE LOCATION Sitting on the verandah of a homestay in a village in Konkan, relishing the organically grown rich flavored mangoes, time passes unhurriedly. There is nowhere to go, nothing to do, only sit back and relax and soak in the serenity and peace of this place. No wifi, and no link with the outer world, but still, there is …
Daman is not only about alcohol, nightlife, parties, and resorts. We have seen a beautiful side of this lovely enclave. The coastal town is home to a variety of historical monuments and some beautiful churches, which reflect the architectural skills of the Portuguese.
