I am an adventure enthusiast and a nature level, thus, I found North India to be a perfect place to fulfil all of my cravings to visit the places of my choice. I travelled to Ladakh and also did biking through its motor-able passes. I was stunned to see the lifestyle of people living here! Thanks Max for this trip.

Exploring scenic places such an Munnar and Thekkady, staying on houseboat, spending time on white sand beaches was just few highlight of the trip.
