Visit to Mauritius
This time I got the chance to visit a beautiful creation of nature Mauritius(Port Louis). It is the capital city where more than 75% population is of Indian Origin People, rest you can find European and people from APAC region. You can find a lot of places near port Louis or you can use TripAdvisor like I do Hahahaha!!. What to talk about is people are very lazy, don't know but shops in the city start in the morning by around 10 AM and shutdowns their businesses by around 5 PM. Still, you can find some places in the heart of the city, the most happening place Caudan Waterfront where you can satisfy your taste buds if looking for Authentic Indian cuisine then must visit Namaste restaurant here. One can also try VEG. PANINI at a small restaurant named PIZZA CORNER. The taxi charges around 1500 MUR(Mauritian Rupee) or looking for budget travel then you could opt for local transport bus for Port Louis. Local could only be possible using taxi services which are very much expensive.

Visit to Chadwick Falls - Shimla , Uttarakhand
The beautiful Chadwick falls lies only a few kilometers away from Summer Hill in Shimla, it was less visited as very few people are aware of this place overall it was a nice. Aroud last 800 meters was deep into forests. This stunning waterfall flows from a height of 1586 meters and is encircled by thick green woods and steep hills of pine and deodar from all sides and looks amazing especially during the rain. One of the favorite spots for sightseeing in Shimla, it looks more exotic and ravishing when the water flows speedily through the woods. A lot of tourists visit this place during the month of September, when the water flow in the fall increases after the monsoon gets over. The soothing atmosphere and the sight of this bubbling waterfall make one wonder at nature's wondrous bounty. As I am a solo traveller it was a bit difficult intially as was not able to find so called "HUMANS" , by the end I have reached the falls I had a company.

Visit to Hemkund Sahib, Uttrakhand
Situated at a height of over 15,000 feet above the sea level in the Himalayan ranges of northern India, Sri Hemkunt Sahib has emerged as a popular centre of Sikh Pilgrimage which is visited by thousands of devotees from all over the world every summer. According to Bachitra Natak, the autobiographical account of the tenth Guru, Gobind Singh, it was at Hemkunt 'adorned with seven snow peaks' that he meditated in his previous birth.
It was during the thirties of the twentieth century that the place was discovered by Sant Sohan Singh and Bhai Modam Singh. Bhai Vir Singh, Sikh savant and a leading figure of the Singh Sabha movement , played an important role first in helping these two gentlemen by verifying for them the location of the place and later by providing financial support for building a gurudwara at Hemkunt. Collective efforts of Sikh pioneers backed by the community support led to the construction of gurudwaras en route including Gobind Ghat (6,000 feet) and Gobind Dham (10,500 feet).
In spite of difficult terrain where Hemkunt is situated, devotees from all over the world make it to this unique Sikh shrine every summer. On the way they also visit other important gurdwaras in Rishikesh, Srinagar and Joshimath. On their way back they pay homage at Paonta Sahib, Bhangani Sahib, Tirgarhi Sahib and Shergah Sahib Gurdwaras. Apart from enjoying scenic beauty of the snow-clad peaks and taking a dip into visit the world famous Valley of Flowers not far from Sri Hemkunt Sahib.

Visit to Selangor, Malaysia
A great place to visit, people are good and for vegans, food is a little bit problem and fast food chains also have very few options. Found one subway, had very limited options. The best part is for easy commuting you have good metro(RapdiKL) connectivity.
Some of the most common tourist attractions are Petronas tower, Batuca caves and a few more.
People over here are generous, honest and hard working. If looking for commuting options cheapest is your RapidKL and uber, Grab is there for remote travelling places.
The currency here is ringgit.
If you are looking for some good vegetarian food, its best found across some places like Brickfields where you can find some Indian vegetarian food like Dal Makhani(Buttery lentil), Bhindi(Okra) or if you are looking for vegetarian food in chinese, you can find it across some

Visit to Manila, Philippines
What I have learned just after landing here in Manila is that use UBER instead of the registered taxi drivers because they simply make fools of people like for 10 KMs I have paid 2600 Peso (currency) and they have easily made fool of people by charging too much.
Office timings here in the Philippines are usually 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM and lunch timings are from 1200 hours to 1000 hours.
People over here are very generous and nice although they talk very less. Dressing style over here is pretty casual so if you are going to be here somewhere it is not mandatory to be very formal, wearing normal clothing works.
It is a great place but not from the perspective of tourist because traffic here in manila is a nightmare. Everything is available at the near point but in hotels, they still have the tiny dim lights in the rooms. Its good to walk over there because it takes less time than sitting in the car doing nothing.

Visit to Manila, Philippines
Visit To Myanmar
Now as I am a traveller and used to get a chance in a month twice to visit a new country. This time it is Myanmar. First checked out on google what is the distance between the airport and my hotel after that for my office, currency its value which is our daily routine whenever used to visit a new country. The hotel in which I stayed was Business Alliance hotel, Dhamazedi road not too far from the office and not too near. It took around 30-40 minutes by taxi to the office and on street, it hardly took 20 minutes. Traffic is again a problem in almost everywhere in the world. As compared to Delhi this is place is a bit clean. Air is fresh as here you find a lot of greenery be it city or outside. I was here for five days and it was a good experience. What you don’t get over there are the bills for the taxi. But for the places where there are a different kind of taxes, there probably you are not going to miss one. Service tax is there at foodie places @10% of the bill and some other tax @5%.
Despite a developing country, traffic rules are pretty good. If you live in Delhi then you surely going to feel the difference over here.
The currency over here is KYAT which is equal to around 210 INR and most of the cabbies ask in the dollar. What I say is INTERNET connection is pretty expensive over here as it is a developing country. Nowadays you find a lot of construction work going on near or far you will find a big difference in two years.

Visit to Triund
The destination is around 450 KMs from Delhi and will take around 10-11 hours depending on means of transport. We were a group of four friends so choose to travel by Maruti CIAZ (Diesel Variant). I have only heard about this place namely TRIUND from a couple of friends from my college time but didn’t have enough time to be there. This is the time but what I think is not the appropriate time as we planned to be there on 1st January (2016) Morning.
It is very cold in these in the northern part of India and the temperature at that place is somewhat in minus. The total distance from Dharamshala to Triund is near to 13KMs and it is very difficult to get the car to near the place where trekking starts but one of our friend is very confident in getting the car near to the parking over the hill which is about 5KMs from Dharamshala. Somehow we reached there and parked the car at around 2PM. Started with the trekking which although is of 4 hours but somehow we covered it in 5-6 hours because of our speed. In between you will find 3 stops or tea stalls. It will be good if you carry your own water as it is expensive there on the hill. We have enough water so we took all and if you want to save more
I suggest you should carry some tents which is easy to install but it is very difficult to carry. Although we have got it on the way at very cheap price, for about 575INR per person including night meal.

One thing you should do is to carry or wear enough clothes because if its winter probably you will end up freezing… ha ha ha because at the time we were there it was -6 degree Celsius temperature.
There you get some awesome views for Sunset and Sunrise and will get a chance to enjoy in front of Dhauladhar Hills.
