Travel and change of place impart new vigour to the mind.

Hey people!!

So I am finally here with my Sikkim Trip blog post which is going to be a bit long. So here I present Part 1 i.e. Gangtok Trip.
So earlier this month I visited Gangtok finally, the ultimate plan that always got cancelled at some point or the other. Phew!! But this time I visited and loved it.


So starting with the details, I took a flight from Delhi Airport to Bagdogra, which is apparently the nearest working airport from Sikkim, where my family was already waiting for me. 
Then we hired a car and it took us about four and a half hours to reach Gangtok. We were there by 10 p.m. and so we directly booked a hotel and jumped right into the bed after dinner. P.S.- That journey was tiring because of the steep roads. But still worth it.


The very next morning we got ready and I chose to wear a black & white striped top with blue denim jeans and shoes as the temperature outside was quite normal. But I kept on changing my looks from simple to a grey cap to the pink scarf. And then we booked a car for sightseeing and the driver took us to some amazing places.

Banjhakri Falls
We stopped here, had our breakfast & headed directly towards Falls. Out of all the places I visited in Gangtok this was my favourite. The water there was very cold and I wasn't feeling like leaving the place at all. It's a must visit if you come to Gangtok.





Namgyal Institute of Tibetology
The place can be purely described as a quiet one. The main building was kind of a museum that had a whole history of Buddhism and its culture on display. I must say everything was so well preserved. History lovers must visit here.



Flower Exhibition
It was nothing big as such but what I personally loved most about it was that it was mostly full of orchids which I hadn't seen before (By the way, it's my favorite flower).




Ganesh Tok & Plant Conservatory
Ganesh Tok is basically the Ganesh Temple and as expected it was beautiful. And nearby there was Plant Conservatory which mainly had all different kinds of plants and trees. Since there wasn't much time left we left the place early.




Food
It was time for lunch so we stopped at an open restaurant whose name I apparently don't remember. We had Fried Rice and Chicken Manchurian. But even after that, I couldn't miss the opportunity of having Chicken Momos (Dimsum) when in North East India.


Tashi View Point
As the name suggests it is a place on top from where one can see the Gangtok &  the peak of Kanchenjunga. Apparently, I couldn't see the later because of heavy fog. It was serene and beautiful. I actually loved it.



Gonjang Monastery
The place was quite as it was a monastery. We even went inside and the rituals were happening and loved it. Outside there was bug area from where one can again see half of Gangtok.





Bakthang Falls and M. G. Road
On our way back we encountered this little fall known as Bakthang Falls and then headed straight to M. G. Road. We spent rest of the day strolling down the streets and ended up having dinner at Khan Uncle's Biryani. I recommend this place to every none veg lovers.




So this was my Day 1 where we explored the Gangtok city and I swear It's one of the cleaned city I have ever visited in my life. People are so nice there.
Well for more of my tour in Sikkim there's going to be a Part of this blog post. Till then enjoy the pictures and if anyone has a query regarding this trip, kindly comment.

Bye bye!!
Love you guys & Thank you all for 4k on Instagram. You guys are amazing.

Fresh Summer Look!!

“I have always believed that fashion was not only to make women more beautiful, but also to reassure them, give them confidence.”  —  Yves Saint Laurent Hey Guys!! Yeah yeah.. I know.. its been long. But trust me last couple of months have been really hectic for me. More precisely, its been confusing. I was planning to leave New Delhi and all that. And then I had to cancel that plan all of a sudden and go home for some personal issue. And as I returned I had to shift. I hope some of you might be knowing the pain of shifting when you are all alone. Packing, unpacking, cleaning, arranging and all that stuff.  But yeah.. now I am free and there's gonna be a lot of posts from now on. Apart from all that I completed two years of my blogging and its all because of you guys. Seriously, without you guys I am nothing. Thank you for being a part of my beautiful journey. Well now lets dive into this post.  So as you can see the look that I have created...

White Green & Black Ombre Nail Art

Hello guys😇😍😘 Here I am back today with a new Nail Art tutorial.  When I did, I felt in love with that White Green and Black Ombre Nail Art. You could do this just using a makeup sponge... or any kind of sponge that does not absorb much. So without wasting a moment, here are the simple steps that you need to follow and then you will end up with an amazing nail art. Step 1 Apply a base coat on your clean and dry nails and leave it to dry and then paint your nails white. You could apply two coats of white on your nails for a perfect finish. Step 2 Take green colour on a pallete. Dab sponge over the green nail colour and then dab that coloured sponge over your white painted nails. If there is excess nail colour on sponge then dab it over the pallete and remove the excess otherwise you could end up with a messy nail. Step 3 Similarly take a drop of black colour on pallete and dab sponge over it, remove the excess if any, and then dab it over the gr...
