Tiny Purple Flowers

#InspireAFragrance

Almost all my journeys have special memories. But this one is exception. Last year, me and my friend went to Bir & Billing in Himachal for paragliding. As we were approaching the take-off site, our vehicle broke down and we had to walk the remaining distance. Although, it was not very far away, it still seemed a daunting task for me, as I had to climb a hill.

My friend is a regular jogger, so she climbed the hill in no time. Yes, she is a girl and I hate to say, she is fitter than me. As I was dragging myself to the top of the hill, an unknown fragrance struck me. In no time it seemed I was in a garden full of flowers. As I looked behind I saw a bunch of beautiful purple flowers. They were tiny, but had a very strong yet soothing smell. I fell in love with the fragrance and those amazingly beautiful flowers. I wanted to pluck them, but couldn’t do so.

They belonged to the nature. Its been a year now, but I still feel amazed by the beauty and fragrance of those flowers and wonder is there any way I can smell that fragrance again!!!!! #InspireAFragrance

Oman – Surprise of Arab ?

 


Perhaps, most of us have never heard of Oman, a country which is surrounded by many Arab states.

When I told my friends that I am going to explore Oman, their instant reaction was – ‘are you sure’ ? They said it is an Arab state and you may face a lot of problems.

But, when I showed them the tourism of Oman http://www.omantourism.gov.om/wps/portal/mot/tourism/oman/home, they begged me to take them along as well. 🙂

I have been planning to visit this beautiful country for a very lone time. I have read several articles on Oman on various travel magazines, which further added fuel to the fire.

But the real question is why Oman ? Is it worth a visit ? My answer is – yes.

There is no dearth of stunning locations in this beautiful country.

There are many incredible places like Bandar Khayran Reserve and Jabal Shams (Sun Mountain), which entice you to visit Oman, at least once in a lifetime.

If you are a travel photographer like me, then rest assured, Oman won’t disappoint you.

Rich in heritage, the country is replete with reserves, valleys, mountains, caves, deserts, beaches, islands, water springs, lagoons and rocks park.

And it provides great accommodation for everyone, be it a budget traveler or a luxury traveler.

So, I don’t know about you, but I m ready to explore this wonderful country and have a life-time experience.
