A getaway to the small fishing village of Ballycotton on the Eastern coast of Cork. The Cliff walk from the village to the Ballyandreen beach is flanked by green meadows on one end and the Irish, Celtic Sea and the wild Atlantic on the other. The bird trail is often frequented by people and their lovable dogs 🐕. There are a number of spots along the trail, namely Paradise, The Hut, Ballytrasna, Stone Bridge and The Hump. We got down near the waters at Ballytrasna, approximately 2 kms into the Cliff walk. The views are absolutely stunning! Do have a good pair of shoes for the walk as the trails are often muddy. Mine were literally "sole-less" and tied together using a hair band by the end of the walk 😂. The tides rise in soon enough so start early. The walk isn't a loop and one needs to get back to the village. We skipped the Pier for food. The folks at the car park area in the village often greet you as you walk past. An elderly couple were kind enough to suggest few lovely places to eat at. Do try The Schooner Tavern and B&B, Skinny's Diner Restaurant or the Seachurch Restaurant in the village.

By 2022 the hull had already split in two. #ballycotton #cork #ireland #walks #trails #cliff #ocean #trips #friends (at Ballycotton Cliff Walk) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnId88YqqzR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Summer Of '21 The days end. Hearts restless, and the heads go numb, I wanna feel your skin on my thumb. There's no turning around, you make me spin round, and sway to your sound. Ah, those wonderful days of listening to Bitter Sweet Symphony by @officialtheverve, Seven Nations Army by @thewhitestripes, Smells like Teen Spirit by @off1cial_nirvana, Rebel Rebel @davidbowie, Highway to Hell @acdc. @rockin1000, @foofighters @davestruestories @yousician @spotify @spotifyindia, you made things so much more simpler... "Drive away and try to keep smiling. Get a little rock and roll on the radio and go toward all the life there is with all the courage you can find and all the belief you can muster. Be true, be brave, stand. All the rest is darkness.

After the fiasco of what was supposed to be the Kheerganga Trek, we were back to Manali and landed ourselves in the Solang Valley. Ziplining and listening to the instructor who was to guide a bunch 6-7 seasoned trekkers on the Friendship Peak expedition with an open invitation to come join them. For our part, we did listen to him with rapt attention! Being mindful of our abilities, we choose the evening hike after lunch that would take us to the point from where one can see the whole of Manali. That's where from my bald looking picture is 🤭...After a bit of slipping and sliding we reached to top for the lovely views. On way down, the sounds of the flowing waterfalls and streams just made everything look so much prettier 🥰. Once back in our camps with dusk settling in, we had hot noodles, coffee and, later soon started on the dinner. At the close of the day, we gathered around the bonfire listening to songs and becoming familiar with each other. Considering people were to start early the next day for the climb, we called it a night soon enough to retire for the day...Coming up next...Rohtang Valley it is...#manali #solangvalley #himachal #himachalpradesh #trips #treks #expedition #camp #ziplining #mountains #trees #valleys #peaks #friends #friendship #people (at Solang Valley, Himachal Pardesh) https://www.instagram.com/p/CldXu9gNmzo5WKZesWSVmA0WWivK4bM4yWJq300/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After spending 2 days in Manali, we were to proceed for our Kheerganga Trek starting from the village of Tosh that never came to be due to poor weather. Gratitude 🙏 to @shahnaz__hassan who chalked out a near semblance of a plan while I was being rueful over the ruined ones considering we had to take a U-Turn hardly 5 km from the trek starting point! This saw an evening in Kasol with food at quaint little Israeli themed cafes. Following a day trip to Manikaran and a fun ride on the state run buses with locals, students, friends and hippie people aboard we landed in Kullu. #manali #kasol #manikaran #manikaransahib #himachal #himachalpradesh #mountains #friends #friendship #trips #impromptuplans #impromptuplansarethebest (at Kasol, Himachal Pradesh, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQDWwftjde96ckpUVvy4PJ9GOM_zCjhevfatM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
