"Whatever you might have heard about Hampi till yet, just know that it is a better experience if you go there on your own. Hampi is a walk back to India in a different era. An era of laid-back afternoon siestas. An era of marvellous ruins and temple architecture. An era of strong caressing winds and occasional rain showers. An era of meeting musicians in their humble-thatched huts. An era of lying in psychedelic abodes, chatting with a few of the hippies who have managed to stay there for months on end." – Pramati Anand

"Spiti Valley for some reason is not as well known as Leh of Ladakh district in J&K. Any time I told someone that I am heading to Spiti for a month, they gave me “where the hell is that?” look. That people are unaware of this amazing place nestled in the hills of Himachal Pradesh was both a relief and a treat because it obviously meant lesser crowds. While Leh is a luxury in the world of road trippers who seek seamless roads for pleasurable driving, roads to Kaza (especially from Manali) are anything but that!" – Kanika Gupta
