In Wayanad, Kerala – God’s Own Country: The Great Arabian Sea Drive Days 27-29
TweetI finally leave Karnataka – and drive into Kerala.

Great Himalayan Drive Day 8: Illy coffee, brownies and wood fired oven pizzas in Pokhara in Nepal
Tweet What do I miss most (perhaps the only thing actually) is a good Americano and a cake or muffin to go with it. You can only imagine my delight when signs of Illy and Lavazza greeted me as I drove into Pokhara on Day 8 of The Great Himalayan Drive. Just what I needed to recharge my batteries for [...]

Review: A refreshing coffee experience at Desert Rain in Leh
TweetHow many coffee bars do you know of where you are invited to sit around, read books kept on the shelves, even sleep off if you want to and not be obliged to even order anything? Can’t think of any, other than Desert Rain in Leh town serving the best coffee in the whole of the Ladakh in the Indian [...]
