Trekking to the World Peace Pagoda
(Apr 26, 2018) From Pokhara town center facing Fewa Lake, the most conspicuous sight is a white stupa on a mountain top. It's almost begging to be visited. On foot, it's only 6kms and doable in 2 hours. I was already on my way.....more »»
Exploring Pokhara, Nepal
(Apr 20, 2018) I would have used-up my entire 30 days in Kathmandu for a mini-life, but the dust got me sick. I had to leave. One traveler told me, I had to see Pokhara. That was it!

7 Days in Kathmandu
(April 13-20, 2018) With 2 nights pre-booking at the newly built 8848 Hostel, it was a painless start for me to begin a 30-day mini life in Kathmandu. I simply have to figure out what happens to me after those 2 nights. Kathmandu is exciting with energies unbound. And yes, it's seriously dusty! After only 7 days though, I had to leave....more »»

Goodbye and Thank You Kuantan
(Apr 13, 2018) After staying 17 days in Kuantan, it was time again to pack-up and leave for a new destination. 17 days gave me glimpse of Kuantan's people, its culture, cafes, eating places and tourist attractions. I think the challenge for a traveler is to find the hidden gems in a place where it's not too apparent. I think I leave Kuantan having discovered a few.....more »»
Visiting the Masjid Sultan Ahmad Shah Mosque
(Apr 10, 2018) The Masjid Sultan Ahmad Shah Mosque is the most imposing structure in Kuantan.

Visiting the Kuantan Mini Zoo
(April 1, 2018) The Kuantan Mini-Zoo is best taken as a manicured park with lots of open space where it would be great to spend an afternoon walk in, when the sun is not so hot. And then be treated to a few animals who call it home.....more »»
