How to Travel to Seychelles on a Budget

Yudi Pratama,

I haven’t traveled the world yet, but I’ve begun; and I’ve met enough people who have been in enough places to know that no place in the world is ‘too expensive’ to explore, at least for a brief period. When I announced I was going to Seychelles, the single-most frequently asked question went something like – “How rich are you?” I don’t blame them! Seychelles has been made famous as a luxury & honeymoon destination. Thus, one of my many missions on this trip was to figure out if it was possible to travel to Seychelles on a budget, and here is what I learned. This post breaks down each major expense bit by bit, including a downloadable ‘How to Travel to Seychelles on a Budget Expense List’, which you can access at the end of this post.

Travel Insurance Artificial Lake & Chairlift, Auli – Aroma Of Life

Artificial Lake & Chairlift, Auli – Aroma Of Life

Yudi Pratama,

The artificial lake in Auli is perched at an astonishing elevation and is one of the world’s highest man made lakes. It was created to help in providing artificial snow on the ski slopes in the event of random rainfall. This also helps in extending the skiing season in Auli. The lake is located right next to the Clifftop Club and we did cover some of its pictures in our very first blog post on Auli.

The snow-clad mountains, skiing slopes and azure-blue water make for the most amazing scenery. The fact that it is a man-made lake does not dampen the magic and beauty of the place in any manner. Nature truly holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.

The rope way connecting Joshimath to Auli is 4 kms long and offers magnificent views of the Himalayan landscape. If you really want to have

Bookchor’s Lock The Box Sale – Aroma Of Life

Yudi Pratama,

It was the name Bookchor (Chor = Thief) that fascinated me into finding more about this company. Their aim is to make reading affordable by selling second-hand books at reasonable prices. You get to buy as well as sell books on their website, so increasing your reading base without spending too much. Their quality inspectors ensure that the books are in decent condition.

These pictures are from their recent event held at the Birla Auditorium in Jaipur. “Lock the box”, so all the books that fit in the box are yours. There were three different boxes : Odysseus (priced at 999 rupees and could fit 9-10 books), Perseus (priced at 1499 rupees and could fit 15-17 books) and Hercules (priced at 2499 rupees and could fit 28-30 books) .

Anantaya – Aroma Of Life

Yudi Pratama,

Anantaya is a lifestyle design studio that is centered on the philosophy of using traditional crafts in a contemporary style. The gamut of products designed includes home decor, textiles, lighting, furniture, gifts etc. The store is located in the beautiful surroundings of Narain Niwas Palace, a place that provides a perfectly apt background for such eclectic products.

What I love most about Anantaya is the fact that there is a deep-rooted tradition behind each of their products, whose relevance has been so elaborately explained and then the product is designed in a completely unconventional way but nowhere losing on the origins. Whether it is the Cresent serve ware or the Lotus mirror, each item has been conceived not only from the beauty perspective but their being conducive to the overall well-being of a house.

There’s also a separate section dedicated to organic skincare with things like soap, lip balm, aroma

Saturday Night Market, Goa – Aroma Of Life

Yudi Pratama,

My favorite way to get to know a culture is by getting lost in the markets of the locals. It is the best way to see how people really live, how they eat and interact, and what they place value on. Goa has two such markets, which are held once every week: Anjuna Flea Market and Saturday Night Market at Baga. While the former has more of authentic Goan stuff (new and old), the latter is an amalgamation of people and crafts from all over the country.

This post covers our experience at the Saturday Night Market, which is a panoply of myriad forms of craft, food and music. There were umpteen stalls selling Tibetan jewellery, jute/straw handbags, Goan spices, Tribal silver ornaments, Beachwear, wooden decor and a whole lot of other stuff. For food lovers, the fare ranges from Tibetan momos and Chinese to authentic Goan delicacies and yes
