Earlier this year, I visited the Nilgiris mountains in South India, a hidden gem even amongst Indians (and thank god for that! Although wait, did I just let out the secret?! OOPS). Until two years ago, I’d never heard of them myself! The Nilgiris (literally translating to ‘Blue Mountains’)…

Okay, let’s break the myth. It is not difficult to find vegetarian food while traveling in Iceland. I’m a pretty strict vegetarian (I won’t eat gravy from a meat dish, I won’t mix cutlery, and I don’t eggs), but I had no problems being vegetarian…

Until two years ago, I’d never heard of the Nilgiris myself. And the only reason I got fascinated with them was because of a Bollywood movie (which is basically the reason why I get fascinated with anything really). Nilgiris (which translates to Blue Mountains) are a gorgeous mountain district…

Mehek
Mumbai

Hi! I'm Mehek, a part-time traveler looking for every opportunity to escape and explore some place new. I've visited 33 countries in the last 28 years, with a goal to get to 45 countries by the time I'm 45! I travel the world in search of vegetarian food options, the best local cafes, and experiences off-the-beaten-path, collecting a magnet from every city I visit. So far I've taken a graffiti workshop in Prague, snorkeled between the American and European continents, and trekked with gorillas in the Rwandan forest. Follow me as I share travel stories, hidden gems and vegetarian food from around the world!
