Most of us make an inaudible sigh of longing when we hear the words – hot stone bath in Bhutan.

The Hot stone bath in Bhutan offers a truly rejuvenating experience.  The bath, made of wood, is available almost throughout the country, but more so at places closer to the rivers. The process involves heating large river stones over fire.

This part covers our journey through Padum, Rangdum and the famed Drang Drung Glacier. OUR TRIP TO ZANSKAR (PART TWO) THE PHUKTAL GOMPA At about a 40 minutes detour from Purney, lies the famous Phuktal Gompa, a monastery I have been looking forward to visiting. Having a local with us, I decide that it is the perfect time to undertake the hour long hike to the monastery. The locals have the dexterity of mountain goats. We are not nearly as blessed [...] - [Zanskar Valley - Our Back Breaking But Soul Lifting Experience (Part 1)](https://unwindoutdoor.com/zanskar-valley-part-one/): The minute I heard that a new route leading into Zanskar Valley was functional, from Shinku La into Padum, I knew it was a trip I would take soon. In the October of 2019, my photographer, Ashutosh, and I, embarked on an adventure we knew would break our backs but fix our spirits.  Being a traveller in the truest sense of the word, my takeaways from all my travels go beyond the experiences. What I bring back is a wealth of introspection and inspiration to live life anew. It is why I keep choosing the remotest of mountain villages, for [...] - [Majuli - The Largest River Island In The World That Is Shrinking](https://unwindoutdoor.com/majuli-the-largest-river-island-in-the-world/): Situated on the Brahmaputra, Majuli is the world’s largest river island. Recently decreed the 35th district of Assam, the island is famous not just for its size but for its rich culture. The tribes of Majuli are far removed from modern-day, urban life and have thus preserved traditions and a rich heritage.  The island is indeed huge at about 350 sq kilometers. It can only be reached via a ferry ride from Jorhat, and one that doesn’t operate 24 hours. Nevertheless, the ferry ride across is a beautiful experience, especially during sunset when the skies take on a burning hue.

A step into the Mawphlang sacred forest of Meghalaya is like a step into an unknown kingdom – one full of mysteries, magic and the eccentric.  Meghalaya literally means ‘abode in the clouds’ and it is as heavenly as its name. Heavy rainfall and its sequestered status have ensured that its magic and mythology remain untouched. Throughout the East Khasi Hills and the Jaintia Hills district, sacred forests run abundant, but few have achieved the status of the Mawphlang Sacred Forest.  Covering about [...] - [The 3 Camps In Ladakh That Made It To Our Favourites List](https://unwindoutdoor.com/3-favourite-camps-in-ladakh/): Many people think of pitching their own camps in Ladakh and sleeping under the stars in Ladakh and while we do not blame them, it definitely isn’t a cakewalk.

Below is our list of suggested campsites for nature-lovers and adventure enthusiasts. OUR FAVOURITE CAMPS IN LADAKH   - [The Best Adventure Activities In Ladakh](https://unwindoutdoor.com/the-best-adventure-activities-in-ladakh/) - [Sonaugi Homestead - A Slow And Leisurely Stay In Silence And Peace](https://unwindoutdoor.com/sonaugi-homestead/): There is an image everyone envisions as soon as they picture the Himalayas. There are the snow covered peaks in the distance, rolling hills and meadows where animals graze, a gushing river flowing through the valley and the sunlight netting through deodars and pines. There is also the deafening silence of the pristine atmosphere. A complete dissociation with the cacophony of city lives. At Sonaugi Homestead, this is almost achieved. Heading to Shimla or Manali is no longer the same experience as it used to be, with tourists crowding the town centers and hotels after hotels burgeoning to take advantage of [...] - [Urvashi’s Retreat - Responsible Luxury In Manali](https://unwindoutdoor.com/urvashis-retreat-responsible-luxury-in-manali/): All places worth getting to take time.

With breathtaking views of the Himalayas and the river, spending days here is the idyllic experience every weary person craves. The land is lush green and slightly undulating, with plenty of fruit trees and natural alcoves. The landscape has been left largely undisturbed, which is why the structures seem to rise organically from the ground.  Neeralaya is special due to many factors. But what makes it infinitely more special is that it was born out [...] - [Binsar Forest Retreat - The Inner Sanctuary](https://unwindoutdoor.com/binsar-forest-retreat-combining-comfort-and-sustainability-amidst-a-wildlife-sanctuary/): While most property owners are directing their energy towards advertising their property, some hotels still want to remain secluded and exclusive. Binsar Forest Retreat is one such property, with the clear ethos of connecting with nature. This is exactly what is expected from guests as well. This is probably why their daily tariff also includes a hike – to get people to really explore the rich surroundings. Located enviably on a sequestered ridge in the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, a 48 sq km area of dense forest land, Binsar Forest Retreat attempts to bring comfort and hygiene to eco-friendly living. The [...] - [Mary Budden Estates - Colonial Charm In The Lap Of Luxury](https://unwindoutdoor.com/mary-budden-estates-colonial-charm-in-the-lap-of-luxury/): Deep within the heady woods of the Binsar Wildlife Sanctuary, at a height of 8000 ft, one is enthralled to discover pure luxury in the form of the Mary Budden Estate. This luxury is not just one of plush settings and first-class service, although Mary Budden provides both. It is also the luxury of anonymity and tranquility. It is a walk down memory lane as one is reminded of colonial times. Indeed, the boutique homestay, with its opulent cottages, teems with rich history. Originally belonging to a British lady from the 19th Century, after whom the estate is named, it [...] - [Jilling Terraces - The feeling of Home And Hygge Permeates Through This Uttarakhand Stay](https://unwindoutdoor.com/jilling-terraces-the-feeling-of-home-and-hygge-permeates-through-this-uttarakhand-stay/):   Located amidst solitude, perched upon a hill in the South Gola range of the Himalayas, lies Jilling Terraces. A few hours away from the chaos of touristy Nainital, Jilling Terraces is an oasis of verdant calm. The estate stands alone amidst 100 acres of forests.  One has to disembark from their car at Matial Village and take upon a steep 1.5 km climb to the property.

The realization that you’ve left the city behind truly will come a little way into that hike, when red-faced and short-breathed, you [...] - [Ziro Valley - A walk back into time](https://unwindoutdoor.com/ziro-valley/):   The Ziro Valley, covered by the verdure of pine and bamboo, is as scenic as a postcard. Standing beneath the watery blue sky and breathing in a lungful of fresh mountain air does something for my soul.  The destination more than makes up for the unexpectedly long journey from Itanagar. Theoretically 4 hours away from the capital city, the actual journey can take almost twice as much time, depending on the roads and weather conditions. After an unsparing passage through the winding roads of the state, with incessant rain for company, I almost overlook the sights as I rush [...] - [Tawang - Our trip to the stupendous land](https://unwindoutdoor.com/tawang-our-trip-to-the-stupendous-land/):   Nestled in the north-western part of Arunachal Pradesh, Tawang is a land forgotten between the folds of mountains and lakes. Framed by an amphitheatre of snow-capped peaks, with passes too high even for the clouds to reach, it is a melange of the very best of nature.  Straddled by Tibet and Bhutan, this often overlooked land has historically come under the radar every time blood was shed in its vicinity. Passing through this magical place, with its lush greenery and gushing waterfalls that dot the entire landscape, it is difficult to believe that the Indo-China War of 1962 was [...] - [Sangti Valley - A turn into a whole new world](https://unwindoutdoor.com/sangti-valley-a-turn-into-a-whole-new-world/):   A turn from Dirang leads to the Sangti Valley, 7 kms in. But those 7 kms transport you to a world far removed from the chaos of city life. Most travellers seek experiences beyond the usual, an offbeat path sparsely trodden on. These hidden gems along the way then serve to enrich our experience manifold. The Sangti Valley is one such stop along the way to Tawang where words almost fail to describe the beauty.   Home to Mahayana Buddhist Monpas, similar to the people of Bhutan, Sangti delights visitors with its views of the Eastern Himalayas, the idyllic [...] - [The Living Root Bridges of Meghalaya](https://unwindoutdoor.com/the-living-root-bridges-of-meghalaya/): Home to the two wettest places on Earth, Meghalaya also boasts of the marvel of living root bridges.  Living root bridges are the result of synergy between man and nature. Living in a place that receives nearly 39 ft of rain in a year, locals have to rely on their ingenuity to survive and thrive. One result of that ingenuity is the living root bridges.  Initially, villagers built bridges made of Bamboo which gave way in the face of heavy rain and storms. Faced with this problem, the indigenous Khasi people found a way around it by taking nature’s help.

On your trip to the North-East, be sure to stop along these little villages to really get a feel of what the region is all about – be it the serene atmosphere of Sangti Village of the sparkling streets of Mawlynnong. - [Making sense of these times using shōganai](https://unwindoutdoor.com/making-sense-of-these-times-using-shoganai/) - [5 Mesmerizing Lakes in the North-East](https://unwindoutdoor.com/5-mesmerizing-lakes-in-the-north-east/) - [12 Festivals of Ladakh that colour the region spectacularly](https://unwindoutdoor.com/12-festivals-of-ladakh-that-colour-the-region-spectacularly/): The festivals of Ladakh are similar in a lot of aspects but also different in terms of the rituals carried out.

From the minute you spot the almost European outdoor seating, you are charmed. The world within is a unique amalgamation of kitsch and comfort. There are quotes and poetry on the walls, art and artefacts all around. What remains the highlight though, is how Spiti shines through. There is an array of indigenous products, stress on eco-friendly ways and the warm Spitian spirit at Deyzor. We decided to interview one half of the dynamic duo that owns and runs [...] - [A life of sin and migrating - The Changpas of Ladakh](https://unwindoutdoor.com/the-changpas-of-ladakh/):   Changpas of Ladakh are a lesser-known tribe. When we hear the word tribe, the image that pops into our minds is that of a ferocious clan, adorned with shells and headgear, faces smeared with black paint, who hate outsiders. Add the prefix semi-nomadic and the image grows even stronger. Imagine my surprise at discovering that the Changpas of Ladakh welcome people into their make-shift homes with warm smiles and piping hot tea.  It is difficult to believe that in a day and age that connects people even to live darshans with Gods, there exist pockets of the world where [...] - [Todnam - The Spiti village the world needs to take lessons from](https://unwindoutdoor.com/todnam-the-spiti-village/): Nestled within Pin Valley, between folds of the Himalayas and vast expanses of nothingness, lies the tiny village of Todnam. Having travelled extensively through the region, I now know that Life in Spiti Valley is unlike anywhere else. And while even the larger town such as Kaza has taught me immensely about the elusive concept of happiness found so easily in the mountains, the smaller villages impart bigger lessons.  Consisting of a total of ten households, this is as small as a village gets. Yet, this village is as distinct as any other, with its own customs, festivals and routines.

It was only amidst magnificent peaks and gurgling streams that I felt soothed enough to unlearn all that life in the city had taught me. Having spent all my life in a place where one’s line of vision is obstructed by hundreds of people and rows of buildings, I only saw things clearly in the vastness of valleys. It is why I keep returning to these mountains, to [...] - [Policy for SUV Damages](https://unwindoutdoor.com/policy-for-suv-damages/): Vehicle Damage Rough terrain of Ladakh & Spiti can cause certain damages which increases overall repair burden.

The ripe corns are hung outside the homes to dry, so they can be ground into flour. This is also considered a status symbol as more the amount of corn displayed, the wealthier the family is supposed to be.
