Alta Via 1 Hike – Stage-by-Stage Itinerary & Reportage

The Dolomites (or Dolomiti in Italian) hold a special place in my heart. This vast mountainous region of northern Italy has been my go-to place to satisfy my nature craving. Truly, there is no other place in Western Europe like it. The Dolomites, despite being located next to the Alps, are uniquely different and are well-known for their rocky and limestone formations and mind-blowing jagged mountains. There are hundreds of well-marked hiking trails, climbing routes, and via Feratta’s around theRead more

Scotland Road Trip: Hiking Ben Nevis and Exploring the Scottish Highlands by Car

Our first trip to Scotland was completely ad-hoc.

Family-Friendly Torres del Paine Itinerary Without Multi-Day Hikes

When I first decided to go to Torres del Paine, I was surprised by the number of blogs searchable on the Internet. They were plenty of information that I could find, but none of them was the information that I was looking for. First of all, I did not want to hike the famous O/W/Q treks (I definitely want to do it, but due to time and weather constraints we had to drop that plan). Most of the blog posts thatRead more
