Sri Lanka Through My Lens

by ambikagoingplaces | posted in: Blog, Video | 0

Sri Lanka’s south west coast is a succession of idyllic beaches, waterfront cafes, languid mangroves and languid-er days that melt into star-studded, breezy nights.

Curled up with a book, in a cosy nook. If you want Curled up with a book, in a cosy nook. If you want to make a beeline for the hills this summer, look no further than pretty as a picture, @parvadabungalows This is the vacation home in the hills you've always wanted- all babbling brooks and towering conifers and crisp mountain air. The roads are open and this cosy homestay is COVID-19 secure. @parvadabungalows I'm on my way! #mountains #mountainretreat #luxuryhomestay #parvadabungalows #mukhteshwar #kumaon #uttarakhand
Blood-red rhododendrons (that drip nectar in stick Blood-red rhododendrons (that drip nectar in sticky drops), sunlit forests, birdsong and the heady scent of pine. Nature reigns supreme @parvadabungalows It's straight from garden to kitchen for leafy greens, springy onions and juicy tomatoes. Farm fresh produce is the order of the day! You can putter around in the vegetable patch or pick fruit in orchards. There is an endless supply of fuzzy peaches and pears, and bright yellow lemons ripe for picking. #mountains #mountainretreat #luxuryhomestay #parvadabungalows #mukhteshwar #kumaon #uttarakhand #nature #goodnessofnature
Vintage, bakelite dolly switches and exposed wirin Vintage, bakelite dolly switches and exposed wiring in sunshine yellow: @parvadabungalows is seeped in nostalgia. This red-brick estate with green trimming comes as a breath of fresh air, after being confined to cramped living spaces. There are sunny porches and airy rooms; and delightful touches like wildflowers in old whiskey bottles, and gold-polished pine cones. Sink into a plump sofa with a cup of steaming lemon tea and homemade chocolates. @parvadabungalows will wrap you in the warm and fuzzy feeling of home. #mountains #mountainretreat #luxuryhomestay #parvadabungalows #mukhteshwar #kumaon #uttarakhand
Faith moves mountains, and it moves in the mountai Faith moves mountains, and it moves in the mountains- quite literally. On bumpers and windshields of white Maruti cars racing around hairpin bends. Jai Golu Dev! On the backside of giant trucks (in kitschy colours, no less). Jai Mata Di! And funnily, as I discovered, in tiny bells hanging from sun visors in taxis. The driver rings the bell everytime he whizzes past a temple. Brb, Bhagwan Ji! #parvadabungalows #mukhteshwar #mountains #uttarakhand

The man and the machine. I met @rishadmehta many The man and the machine. I met @rishadmehta many years ago when we were both on assignment but I've known of him much longer. Even before I started out as a travel writer, every month I would scour the bylines for his name. It was a delight to chance upon his articles-funny, fabulous, fantastical. He was the benchmark. One of the finest and foremost travel writers in the country. A pleasure to read and a master wordsmith, weaving magic and spinning yarns with laugh-out-loud bits that would make you snort. Over the years I have come to know him as a wonderful friend, bundles of fun and far cooler than I could ever hope to be. He has given me the best writing advice yet- sit down and write. Those fidgety feet have explored chappa-chappa of Bombay. Whenever I visit, I wait to see what nugget he'll share with me. He is as passionate about traveling as he ever was, as intently devoted to the craft and as resolutely determined to embark on hair-raising journeys not for the faint-hearted His appetite for adventure remains unrivalled (he's almost killed me on his bike, which he'll obviously deny). From fangirling over his articles to exploring old Bombay together, what a long way we've come. More power to you, Rishad, and many many more miles on your clock! 🤗 Oh, and Happy Navroz! 😇🙏
