The Republic of India is the most populated country in the world and also the world’s largest democracy. It is comprised of 28 states and 8 union territories which are divided into 6 major zones: North India, Northeast India, East India, South India, West India and Central India.

And guess what? I have visited all 28 states of Incredible India… and 6 of the 8 union territories A dream that I fulfilled way back in December 2015 🙂 Cool, huh? Thanks

The 8 union territories are Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli & Daman & Diu, Delhi (National Capital Territory), Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Lakshadweep Island and Puducherry (Pondicherry). Of them, I have yet to visit the beautiful islands of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep. Maybe one day soon 🙂

I thought it important to highlight the stunningly beautiful regions of Ladakh and the North-East, so here’s a separate section for it 🙂

Ladakh & North-East India

Heaven on Earth – Ladakh

Image courtesy: www.ladakhtravels.in

Rugged terrain, snow-capped peaks, clear blue skies, barren mountains, blue meandering rivers, lunar landscapes, unique culture…the list goes on and words fail to describe the sheer beauty of Ladakh.

Ladakh, the ‘Land of High Passes’ is a beautiful region located in the northernmost India. It was previously part of the strategically important Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir, where a hostile Pakistan has continued to encourage and indulge in cross-border terrorism since its separation from India in 1947. Hence the Indian military maintains a strong presence in the region. The disputed regions shown in the map are occupied by Pakistan (to the northwest) and China (to the northeast) although these originally belonged to India. Wars were fought with both countries over the disputed regions. Hence the Indian military keeps a strict vigil around the border region.

In 2019, both Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh were reorganized into two separate union territories of India.

The region borders the Kashmir Valley and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir to the west, Lahaul and Spiti regions of the alpine state of Himachal Pradesh to the south, Tibet to the east and the southwest corner of Sinkiang (or Xinjiang) across the Karakoram Pass in the far north. It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Jammu & Kashmir and its culture and history are closely related to that of Tibet.

Leh is the district headquarters, 434 Kms from Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir and 474 Kms from Manali in Himachal Pradesh.

Intrepid travellers are attracted to its scenic beauty, rugged terrain, majestic mountains and the challenge of roughing it out. This is why Ladakh is a favourite with mountaineering enthusiasts. Due to its remote location and high altitude, it’s not suited for a quick holiday. Leh is situated at a height of 11,300 feet and it is crucial to get acclimatised to the thin air for at least a day or two before wandering around.

I visited this amazing region in 2010. During my trip, I also got the dreamy opportunity of visiting the Siachen Base Camp of Indian Army situated at the snout of the Siachen Glacier at a height of 12,000 feet above sea level. Civilians are usually not allowed to go beyond Panamik, a small village in the Nubra Valley famous for its hot sulphur springs. The strategically important Siachen Glacier is the highest and coldest battlefield in the world at an average altitude of 20,000 feet. In winter, the temperature dips to minus 60 degrees. The Base Camp also houses the Siachen Battle School, the world’s highest elevation military training academy, which trains soldiers in ice craft and other survival techniques before they start for their posts on the glacier. It was awesome 🙂

So, read my travel stories in this magical land “Heaven on Earth – Ladakh” to know a bit more about it 🙂

Amazing North-East India

Virgin, wild and untouched by modernizations… the least explored, most mysterious and one of the most beautiful regions of India…that’s the Northeast.

This amazing region of India comprises of eight contiguous states – Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura – each having its own culture and tradition. It is home for more than 166 separate tribes, some of them having migrated over the centuries from places as far as South-East Asia.

The region borders Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Tibet, China and Myanmar. Until a few years ago, this region was totally isolated from the rest of the country. The only route for any overland travel (roadways or railways) between this region and the rest of the country is through the Siliguri Corridor, a 20-km wide corridor of Indian territory between Nepal and Bangladesh. This corridor is the lifeline of the entire North-East.

I first visited this region in 2010, travelling with the Indian Army through Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur and Nagaland. In 2014, I travelled to Sikkim… and in 2015 to Tripura and Mizoram. I have posted my travel stories in each state and you can read them in the below links… enjoy 🙂

After discovering Incredible India, it’s time to discover another beautiful land, Mexico 🙂 Both countries share numerous similarities, most of which have been written about in my blogposts. So now, let me introduce you to México Lindo y Querido (Beautiful and Beloved Mexico) 🙂

DISCOVER MEXICO

Image courtesy: http://www.ontheworldmap.com

Mexico (México ‘meh-hee-koh’ in Spanish) or the ‘United Mexican States’ (its official name), is the most populous Spanish-speaking country and the second-largest Roman Catholic nation in the world. It enjoys a unique cultural blend of different indigenous cultures with colonial Spanish traditions and modern industrialization. The country is part of the North American continent and is located directly south of the United States. To the south-east, it is bordered by Guatemala and Belize. The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea lie on the east coast, and the Pacific Ocean on the west and south. The  country extends all along the 3,100 km-long southern border of the United States, most of which is formed by the Río Bravo, a major river known as Rio Grande in the neighbouring country. For more on Mexico, open this link

Mexico has 31 states and a Federal District (Distrito Federal), where the capital, Mexico City, commonly called ‘DF’ (deh-efe) or “CDMX” (Ciudad de México, syoo-dahd deh meh-hee-koh) is located. Broadly, the country is divided into seven regions: North, North Pacific, Central Pacific, Central Highlands, Gulf Coast, Yucatán Peninsula, and the South.

And you know what? I have visited 16 of the 31 states of México Lindo y Querido (Beautiful and Beloved Mexico). Open the below links to read my stories in each state. No link implies that I have yet to write about or visit that state. It will happen in the near future, so stay with me

North: Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes

North Pacific: Baja (ba-ha) California, Baja California Sur, Sinaloa, Sonora

Central Pacific: Colima, Nayarit, Jalisco (ha-lees-koh), Michoacán (mee-cho-ah-kahn)

Central Highlands: Guanajuato (gwah-nah-hwa-toh), Hidalgo (eeh-dahl-goh), Estado de México, Puebla, Queretaro, Tlaxcala, Morelos, and the federal district of Mexico City

Gulf Coast: Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Veracruz

Yucatán Peninsula: Campeche (cam-peh-cheh), Quintana Roo (keen-tah-nah Roh), Yucatán

South: Chiapas (chyah-pahs), Oaxaca (wah-ha-cah), Guerrero
