Aakansha Monga Instagram - SHARE this w someone you wanna go here with!!✨

From all the countries I’ve visited, OMAN is the most underrated ever. People have always thought of it as just another middle-eastern desert country but there is so much more to it than that - mountains, beaches, turtles, deserts, wadis, canyons, blue waters, fjords… uff it’s a natural wonderland of diverse landscapes❤️ 

The most beautiful city was Salalah and I went with @salalah_adventure_tours and @naseeb_bin.amerr was our amazing guide!

And it’s so convenient and cheap especially for Indian passport holders!

🎫 Easy & quick online visa
✈️ Direct, short & cheap flights
🥘 Super flavourful & delicious food
🕌Rich culture

The best time to visit is between October and April… it is the sweet spot with fewer crowds & pleasant weather; perfect for exploring diverse landscapes!🏜️

If there’s one country you’re planning to visit in 2024, this has to be it!

Tell me in the comments, when are you booking your tickets?🤩

Aakansha Monga Instagram - What does travel mean to you?

Travelling is actually so much more beyond a vacation. When you step out and explore different places, people, culture, food… you’re hit with so many experiences, each different from the last!! But each one connecting you, inspiring you, altering your brain chemistry in a way that it shifts your perspective towards life!

It’s these little moments that make our travel journey’s worth it - And these moments are so raw and real that it’s difficult for myself to be able to absorb it completely, let alone capture and portray the exact feelings on camera! 

So this is just a gentle reminder to take a break from the daily grind and connect with the world around you ❤️

Whether it’s a stroll in the nearby park, watching the sunset, smiling or helping a stranger… make time for those little connections!

You are put on this earth, coexisting with nature and all these people… take that little time to soak it all in.

Trust me, You won’t regret it! 🌿✨

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Correction: Women do not propose to men. This is an error on our end- as per our research, we found a couple of articles saying the same. However that is factually incorrect. We apologize and hope that the overall message of the video does not get overshadowed by a misstep on our end. - AM & Sharanya 

This is MEGHALAYA 🇮🇳

It has one of the world’s LAST existing Matrilineal Societies.
Which means-
1. Kids carry forward their MOTHER’s names
2. Men move into their Wives’ homes
3. Property belongs to the women, enabling a sense of SECURITY
4. There is NO Dowry
5. Marriage proposals are carried out with consent and respect
6. Women spearhead agriculture and social initiatives

While Matrilineal societies are all of the above, here’s what they’re NOT-
It’s not Matriarchy. It didn’t start because
one gender wants to dominate the other.
It’s about playing to your strengths and creating a balanced society.
It’s about celebrating the existence of both Men and Women.

What a fascinating way of living, and we’re here for it!

Imagine if all of India celebrated women the way Meghalaya does? 🥹

PS: Folks from Meghalaya, do tell us how prevalent this way of life is in 2023? We’d love to learn more :).

Aakansha Monga Instagram - I can do both 😉🤪

How can you not with the iconic Petronas Twin Towers in the background!! 🌃

Super underrated spot for the twin towers: Star Residences rooftop bar or the W rooftop (mainstream)!

NEW COUNTRY UNLOCKED ✅

Welcome to Malaysia friends!! And here is fun little video of me taking full advantage of the glittering night sky of Kuala Lumpur with these towers that were once one of the tallest buildings in the world✨

Uff this city is the only city that can give competition to Mumbai, Singapore and New York as a melting pot of cultures, flavours, and adventures. In my opinion, it is also the city of happy contradictions where you can see futuristic as well as ancient sides, nightlife & wildlife, high rise malls & open air markets and many other little nuggets like these!

Hope you’re excited for more Malay content cause I’m SUPER pumped to share more from this amazing tripppp

Comment below what’s the first word that comes in your mind when you think of Malaysia!! ⬇️

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Who loves trekking? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Hampta Pass is literally one of the most DRAMATIC treks in India. With lush green valleys on one side and on the other -  barren mountains with almost no vegetation, it will SHOCK you! 
I recommend going with - @indiahikes (i personally had not gone with them, but totally regretted it! When I saw how amazing their team was and how unprepared the company I’d gone with was!)

The thrill of reaching the pass itself - it’s nervous but exciting at the same time! 

👉 Over 6 days and 25 kilometers you’ll be travelling through the rugged beauty of the Himalayas. 

Now before you lace up those shoes, Here’s something you must know: 

👉 Pack light but right: Bring essentials like sturdy trekking shoes, waterproof gear, and snacks to fuel yourself. 

👉 Stay hydrated: Keep sipping water throughout the trek to avoid altitude sickness. Carry a reusable water bottle!

👉 Layer up: Weather can be unpredictable, so layer up with moisture-wicking clothes, a cozy beanie, and gloves.

👉 Listen to your body: Know your limits, take breaks when needed, and enjoy the stunning scenery along the way.

👉 Leave no trace: Respect the environment, dispose of waste properly, and leave the trail better than you found it.

It’s open only between June to October soo you have plenty of time to pre-plan and even invite a few friends over! 

Share this with them right now 😍

Aakansha Monga Instagram - 🇴🇲UNREAL VIEWS w/ @mohammed_alhadi87 

We had the absolute best time with him! Learnt so much about Oman in ONE day! 😊 (we = me   @julian_boes_ )

Unfortunately I cannot reveal the exact location of this paradise mainly because I don’t believe in risking a place that’s this beautifully unreal with over-tourism or pollution… I hope you understand and support this opinion!!🫶 

HOWEVER! Just reach out to the wadi expert  @mohammed_alhadi87 and trust me there’s NO BETTER guide for Muscat than him. He’ll take you to the most hidden locations around Muscat 🙂 and ensure you leave them cleaner & prettier 🙂

These sulphur pools are naturally occurring hidden in the crevices of these sharp-stoned mountains! A swim here can help you heal skin conditions and joint/ muscle pains. The extremely unique colour of the water is the first thing that strikes you – and this electric greenish blue is apparently due to the naturally high sulphur content of the water which could be coming from the the rocks in this particular area!! 

Nature is just so 🤯🤯🤯

So coming to the MAIN part: there are well-known sulphur pools that you can visit, but if you want to reach this particular spot, you DEFINITELY need a local to take you here as it takes some offroading, short walk to get to!! 
So contact @mohammed_alhadi87 when you’re in Oman and he’ll bring you out here or help you get a guide who can take you! Believe me, you won’t regret it!!😍

So who do you want to go here with? TAG them in the comments👇

Aakansha Monga Instagram - SHARE the inspiring story of Kerala’s chess village!!💯

Marottichal is a quaint beautiful village located in the Thrissur district of Kerala which is famous for its waterfalls but today I’m talking about why it’s a CHESS haven where this game literally saved lives of the people of this village😲

A tea shop owner, C. Unnikrishnan introduced chess to the people of Marottichal that were battling alcohol addiction as a way to distract them and give a wholesome and constructive alternative to their problem. This slowly turned the entire identity of the village and today it holds an Asian record of 1000 people playing chess at the same time!!

This is the BEST example of “when life gives you lemons…” you break the Asian record with them🎖

Unni never wanted to change the whole village, he just wanted to spread his passion that set a butterfly effect. Doesn’t this show how even one person’s one good deed can set a wave of change?

Let this inspire you to pick that 1 piece of trash, help that 1 kid or old person, take that 1 step that feels right and you never know what revolution you might bring✨ 

TAG that person in the comments who needs to see this now! @keralatourism

Aakansha Monga Instagram - How many flags can you count?😉🫢

This is year 3 of making my yearly transition and it’s always my favorite hehe. It’s my fav trend that I started 3 years ago!

I can’t believe that by the end of 2024 I would’ve visited 40 countries. Little aakanksha would be so proud ☺️🥹
The year was filled with growth, surprises, challenges, and incredible moments of transformation. Through it all, travel stayed by my side, opening my heart and mind to new experiences. 
2024 will always hold a special place in my journey—this was the year I hit 1 million followers, a milestone that still feels Aahh! 

It’s also been a year of discovery, not just of the world but of myself. Here’s to carrying these lessons forward and embracing whatever lies ahead!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - so, what’s your RICH?

We’ve always associated luxury and richness with - Fancy cars, designer bags, penthouses, lavish vacations and all sorts of other pleasures. 

But it’s high time to make the definition of being ‘RICH’ more ‘INCLUSIVE’.

Society feeds us only one definition of rich - ie. Get a high paying job, own a house, own a car or two and take luxury vacations.

But that’s BORING! 

For me, richness lies in being healthy, being close to nature and being with the people I love ❤️ 

We must all find out what ‘being rich’ means to us, and not just blindly follow someone else’s definition of rich. 

Being rich has less to do with - how big your pocket is and more to do with - how BIG your heart is.

Don’t get me wrong- there’s nothing wrong in wanting to earn more money. Infact, you DO need money to achieve my definition of “rich” too! 

The issue arises when we only see money as a way to get materialistic pleasures and luxury. These desires can never be fully satisfied, no matter how much money we have. 

Instead, we should see money as a tool for freedom — the freedom to live how we want, eat well (which can be costly), and pursue things that truly make us happy. This freedom is more than just buying things; it’s about having the time and resources to enjoy life fully.

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Mahina Link in bio 👆🏼
When are you switching? 🩸

I kid you not, I was SHOCKED when I found out the about the reality of our regular period pads.

Crazy how mainstream media never talks about this.
Did you know they’re LOADED with toxic chemicals that can lead to heart disorders, Cancer, Neurological disorders and even pegnancy-related complications?
On average, a woman uses about 6-7 thousand pads in her lifetime. Now, imagine the amount of toxins that might have entered her body 😱

Also 1 sanitary pad is equivalent to 4-5 plastic bags and it takes 500-800 years to decompose. 
You are shocked too, right?
 So I started using Menstrual cups, which BTW are great! BUT, also inconvenient in many ways. 
Which is when  I stumbled upon @my.mahina Period Panties on @srish_teee video, and I was shook by all the Perks: 
👉 No rashes, No Leaks - it feels like regular underwear!
👉 Reusable up to 2 years / 100 washes – Don’t contribute to the 12 billion pads sitting in our landfills.
👉 Easy peasy wash and reuse – soo quick and stress-free

How to use it? 
👉 Wash before use and wear it like a regular underwear but without the hassle of wearing pads. 

On this World Menstruation Day, let’s make a conscious choice to switch things up – both for ourselves and our planet. Opt  for sustainable period products like @my.mahina period panties.
It’s a win-win, girls 👧 ❤️ 🌎

So just drop this video in the girl group and be a part of the change.

Welcome to the university of travel, where I’m your teacher and you’ve got a new class to attend every single week 🌍🎒

Here, I uncover the deepest lessons that travelling to over 30 countries has taught me. 

Ever since I started travelling solo & then with friends, I’ve learnt tons of lessons - both simple and complex. From cultural understanding to forming connections, every single thing has taught me something that has improved my life and has allowed me to experience reality in a deeper sense. 

I’m an absolute sucker for the transformative power of travelling. I believe it makes you kinder and wiser. It goes way beyond than just the pretty pictures and OOTD’s. 

In this series, I’m sharing 10 big lessons I’ve learned through my travels. Some of these are as simple as keeping an open mind, while others are even more profound. Travelling has taught me a lot about life,  and I’m superr excited to share these experiences with you.

Please share your lessons in the comments below and let’s have a discussion! 

Follow along to stay tuned for the upcoming videos and become a student today!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Will you eat here?💩

Taiwan is known for its themed restaurants - they have one dedicated to HELLO KITTY TOO!

But this for sure has to be one of the WIERDEST things I’ve done in a while. THIS experience was less about the food, but more about the crazy amusement of it all. I never been to a restaurant which makes me go through soo many emotions at once. From feeling absurd, to funny, to being slightly disgusted - It was worth it!

Not just the food but EVERYTHING here is toilet-themed. It’s fully decked out like a bathroom.  From checkered tile covered walls, shower heads hanging around, and chairs that are, yep, actual toilets - they have nailed it all. 

 I mean, who would’ve thought I’d be munching on my meal from plastic toilet bowls and sipping drinks from miniature urinals? And to top it off, they even served complimentary poop-shaped ice cream. 

I was very curious about the History of this restaurant so I did some research and what I found made me roll on the floor 🤣 The idea sprung from a cartoon character named Dr. Slump, who “played with poop and swirled it with a stick” 😶💩 

Inspired by this quirky character, the modern toilet restaurant was born.

And hey, Stay tuned because I’m gonna roll out more stories from Taiwan that will make you wanna add it to your bucket list ✅️

If you’re ever in Taiwan, trust me, you’ve gotta check out this place. It’s a dining experience like no other, and one you’ll be talking about for years to come! 💩

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Did I find you a quiet spot?!📣

Sahara Desert is a PARADISE for you… here you’ll find yourself amongst no distractions - just you, the sand and the stars🐪✨ 

And even though it stretches over 11 countries, in my opinion, Morocco is the best place to experience it! Camp in the desert, experience the berber tribe culture, go sand-boarding and end the cool night singing around the fire with the locals!

Apart from the tall sand dunes and golden sunsets of the desert, the city of Marrakech has souks, people and vibes that will literally make you feel like you’re in an Aladdin movie🧞‍♂️

And guess what? For Indians, you just need an E-visa which is fairly easy to get. Spring (Feb to April) and Fall (Sept to Nov) are the best time to explore Morocco’s beauty with fewer crowds!

If these aren’t enough reasons to add Morocco to your bucket list today- stay tuned, cause I have a lot more coming out for you from this amazing country!!
Now tell me in the comments, who’s that special person who you’d like to be lost with in the Sahara desert?💌

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Share this inspiring initiative 💕

Anegundi is a small village located in the Kopal district of Karnataka and the women here are the true change-makers 🙌

Did you know it’s older than Hampi itself and was once called Kishkindha from the Ramayana tales?

The story goes way back to 1998 when @shama_pawar ma’am, the founder of @kishkindatrust, launched a sustainable project to use up the banana bio waste and water hyacinth into beautiful items. This initiative started with JUST 3 women initially, but the project slowly became a success and empowered hundreds of women of Anegundi to join hands in saving the environment while earning a livelihood for their home.

“But why banana and water hyacinth only?” you may ask…

Well apart from being abundant plants in the nature, the fibre extracted from these plants is not only SUPER strong and recyclable but also naturally water, fire and tear resistant!! That’s why many other initiatives are using these as alternatives to make paper, fabric and so many other items ✅

So SHARE this video to raise awareness and inspire action among others✨

Also, leave a “🦈” in the comments if you think this is an initiative that deserves the sharks’ attention!!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - You don’t need to be ULTRA RICH to travel! 🤑

Volunteering at different hostels, cafes, travel companies, groups, etc. can ACTUALLY be a game-changer for you if you are young, broke and have some time on your hands.
@sashaberry05 & @jonasleppert_kies are two of my many friends who have volunteered while having (remote) jobs on the side! 

Many hostels and cafes are willing to give you free accommodation and meals (sometimes activities and experiences too) in exchange of work!😍

So if you have ANY skill.. from social media, photography, painting or even simply being good at socializing with people you have a chance to actually live your travel dreams for FREE! 

So what are you waiting for? Take the leap I took at the age of 19 & go write that message and get that ticket✈️

Aakansha Monga Instagram - SHARE this with a bibliophile!!📚

Did you know that Kerala has a 100% literacy rate which is the highest in India? This village proves why!

Perumkulam is known as the book village of Kerala! This charming village is a paradise and safe haven for avid readers✨

It all started with a few young people who turned their grief over Gandhiji’s death into something useful for the society by creating a tiny library in a small room with just a hundred books. 

But now almost every junction in this village has outdoor nest-like book shelves set up for readers to enjoy! The books all around the village are FREE for all so people can either read the books or take one home while replacing it with another. 

It’s such an inspiring and unique communal experience❤️

Fun fact: This is not the only village that loves and values books! In fact the FIRST ever book village of India is Bhilar that is located in Maharashtra. Here, every household in the village maintains a library for the tourists to enjoy 💯

Would you get inspired by them to create your own book nest in your city?

Aakansha Monga Instagram - This place has my heart🥹♥️

Not many people know about these two quaint little villages hidden near Kasol where time just seems to slow down - Kalga and Pulga. Shoutout to @peaceaurparvat for taking me here! 

If you think about it - we are always running, always chasing something or the other. And doesn’t time seem to fly by faster when you’re always on the GO?! This fast pace is making you MISS OUT on the best experience - which is life itself!!

It’s only when you take a moment to pause and notice the beauty of the day to day mundane that you realise how slowing the pace allows you to actually live and cherish life✨️

So now if you’re eager to experience this yourself then slow down and read this first- 

👉 You cannot reach Kalga & Pulga through any vehicles since no roads are connected with these towns! Can you believe it?

👉 The best way is to reach Bershaini (a town near kasol) by car and then hike your way upto Kalga & Pulga. The hike is of moderate difficulty and takes about 30 mins or so.

👉 It doesn’t have hotels but you are welcomed by warm, cozy & affordable homestays making it an AMazing pick for backpackers. (I recommend @yalakhom.in , @zostel)

👉 Make sure to soak yourself up in the Rudranag waterfall near these villages.

Now go SHARE this w someone who needs a break and tell me in the comments do you know any other such places that slow down time?

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Hampiness PRO MAXX!!

I didn’t expect Hampi to be THIS beautiful, peaceful, and fun?! The lakes, the sunset, the food, and the people—everything about this place was just so therapeutic 😍

If you or that overworked friend of yours NEEDS a vacay… this quaint little town is the place to be!! It’s a chill backpackers’ town, and even though it can be a bit crowded with tourists during peak season, if you know the right places to be, you’ll be away from the crowds.🤪
And if you’re looking for a great place to stay, @thegoancorner is the perfect spot to experience the true backpacker’s vibe in Hampi.

Here are my top reccos for when in Hampi:

👉 Sanapur Lake - Go for a relaxing swim or ride the circular boats (coracles).

👉 Matanga Hill - Witness the famous Hampi sunsets from the top!

👉 Go cliff jumping - Lots of cliffs to jump from in Hampi, but please go with locals or tour guides as there can be crocs in the water!

👉 Discover Indian Heritage - It’s known as the city of Ruins, so you must visit the ruins at Badami, Aihole, and Pattadakal.

👉 Lots of Adventure - Bouldering, climbing hills, slack-lining, and a lot more!!

A huge shoutout to @code_name_click for sharing some of his clips with me! 🙌 He’s amazing, check out his account!!

So tell me in the comments, when are you going?

This state is just SO SO beautiful, unique and diverse - I traveled with @highontripsbyrg 😍

I have to say that Kerala isn’t just about stunning landscapes… it’s a whole country in itself where you’ll see the most amazing traditional dance forms, festivals, cuisine and hospitality.
From beaches, to hills, to tea estates, to bustling cities! How can ONE state have everything 😩
I have been to Kerala before but I’ve never seen it like how I did on this trip! This was an unforgettable experiences… all thanks to @highontripsbyrg !! Their itineraries are so offbeat yet luxurious and tailored to exactly what you want! LOVE THEM❤️

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Tell me, Would you like to sleep on a wooden pillow?

Firstly, A huge shout out to @omovalleytours, led by the amazing Fitsum. They’re the most ethical and sustainable travel company I’ve come across, ensuring that the tribes’ traditions and livelihoods are respected. Their services are top-notch, and you can trust them to provide a meaningful and responsible travel experience. 

Ethiopia continues to blow my mind in the most unexpected ways. First, the Bana tribe walking on wooden stilts, and now, people literally sleeping on wooden pillows!

It’s such a wild contrast to the modern comforts we take for granted. Everything here is so different, so raw, and so incredibly fascinating. 

If I hadn’t traveled to Ethiopia, I would’ve never seen something this unique. It’s moments like these that give you what I call a ‘traveler’s eye’ -  the ability to see and appreciate different ways of life without judgment. 
Ethiopia is truly one of the most special and challenging countries I’ve visited. From its diverse tribes to its stunning landscapes, it’s a place that pushes you to rethink and adapt. 
Ethiopia is a world apart—a place that challenges and changes you. And honestly, isn’t that what travel is all about?

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Do you love NATURE?!🌲

Did you know Finland gives everyone a 1-MONTH LONG PAID HOLIDAY to celebrate NATURE?😍

THIS is the main reason why I absolutely loved Finland. It is one of the greenest countries in the world and they not only CELEBRATE nature but also PROTECT it. From hiking to berry-picking, they LIVE for the great outdoors!!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Do you love the mountains? 🏔️ 

Thank you @encampadventures for an experience of a lifetime, you perfected the trip to the absolute T!!!
(My trip was gifted by them!🍀💕) 
They will make you experience destinations in an eco conscious way, keeping culture & local communities at the heart of every trip! 
Nepal’s beauty will literally make you CRY. The views are CRAZY and the people are so cute and welcoming 😻
Ahhh, it feels like a warm hug from the mountains themselves 💖

Travel with @encampadventures and experience Nepal with them, here are some tips:

👉 The best thing about Nepal is that it’s 

✨VISA FREE✨ for Indians. In fact, it’s even accessible by railways and roadways for Indians. (Take a train from Delhi to Gorakhpur followed by a bus to the border). PERFECT for a budget backpacking trip!

👉 The Best time to visit is between October-December or during Spring time - when the skies are clear and open. I visited in April, which is the onset of spring 🌼

👉 Trek the Annapurna trail: This trail has the most diverse views ever. From lush greenery to freezing Himalayas, it has it all. The reward is the highest lake in the world - Tilicho lake (5000 mts)

👉 Spot wildlife at Chitwan national park: Bengal tigers, One-horned rhinos, jungle cats, and sloth bears. This park is a treat for all animal lovers 😻

Now that you know all the deets, there’s no point in making excuses.

Share this reel with your friends and start chasing adrenaline NOW.

Aakansha Monga Instagram - LOVE FROM NEPAL! 🇳🇵🫶🏻

Nepal, where do I even begin?  From the moment I set foot in this beautiful land with @encampadventures I was HOOKED!

I ventured through the Annapurna region, which tested both my mental and physical limits. Then, I found myself standing at the edge of the world’s highest lake - Tilicho Lake, sitting majestically at an altitude of 4,949 meters.
If you’re in Nepal trust @encampadventures to plan your trip, they are an eco friendly travel company that will ensure you have the BEST cultural, local, unique experiences. They literally delivered the best trip possible!!!!!!! 1000% recommend.

Anddd the landscapes and scenery during this trek? Straight out of a dream!

One minute you’re surrounded by lush greenery, and the next, you’re amidst the awesome Himalayan peaks!

It was a long trek with walking at least 6-8 hours everyday, but let me tell you - the sense of accomplishment I felt after I reached the highest point? Indescribable. The adrenaline rush was CRAZY.

Nepal, you stole my heart completely, and I’ll forever relish the memories you gave me. 🥹🥹

Aakansha Monga Instagram - ITINERARY IN CAPTION 👇🏼😍

Here’s a lil throwback to my DREAMY solo trip to Switzerland and honestly it wouldn’t have been so dreamy if it weren’t for these train rides!! The Swiss travel system is very well connected and super convenient and the beautiful views is ALWAYS a plus ♥️
So if you’re planning to visit, you MUST get the Travel Pass because it gives unlimited travel in any public transport (trains, buses and even boats) without any prior booking!! 

Ohh and here’s my 9 day itinerary for the best trip:

Vevey: A cute town on Lake Geneva. Make sure you go to the Saturday market & swim in the lake too!!

Lavaux-Lausanne: Beautiful Wine towns! Go for an e-bike tour here for a one-of-a-kind experience.

Montreux: The town’s promenade is lined with elements that look like a postcard. Also check out - Château de Chillon and Les Avants (beautiful and offbeat!).

Lucerne: Tae a short hike to Mt. Rigi for the sunrise views and cabrio (the world’s only open cable car!!)

Iseltwald-Giessbach: Walk along the idyllic lakeside trail from Iseltwald to the impressive Giessbach Falls!! Don’t skip the boat ride on Lake Brienz.

Grindelwald: One of the most beautiful villages with the Alps as the backdrop😍 Visiting the Jungfraujoch which is the top of Europe is a must!

Spiez: Take a boat ride on Lake Thun! Lakes and vineyards are amazing here.

Lauterbrunnen: 72 waterfalls in this beautiful town, need I say more? :)

Interlaken: The most beautiful town. Base yourself here and explore adventure activities (paragliding and ropes park!)

QUICK TIP: You can base yourself out of Vevey, Montreux or Lucerne for the first 4 days and Interlaken & lauterbrunnen for the last 5 days as the other locations are just 35-40 mins away.

AND the best part is that all of these locations are very well connected with the Travel Pass making the whole trip extremely hassle-free ✅

So start planning now only and tell me in the comments what’s your most fav train journey?

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Traveling doesn’t need to be expensive!

#ad

We often think that the biggest reason we can’t travel is because we don’t have enough money. 

But here’s the truth: it’s rarely about how much you earn and almost always about how you prioritize. 

And with tools like Skyscanner, finding affordable options has never been easier—just choose “Everywhere” as your destination and let it show you the cheapest flights out. There! You have one affordable travel plan! 😎

The key to making travel happen is focusing on what truly matters to you. When you start seeing small expenses as opportunities to save, travel becomes more achievable.

Remember, money isn’t the biggest problem. Prioritization is. 

So, what are you waiting for? Make your dream trip a reality.

Aakansha Monga Instagram - INDONESIA IS MAGICAL 😍

As a self-proclaimed pro waterfall chaser, this is hands-down one of the most majestic and mesmerizing waterfalls I’ve EVER experienced!!! 

📍THIS is the Tiu Kelep waterfalls in Lombok, Indonesia. Yes, there is more to Indonesia beyond Bali.

It’s literally a tucked-away paradise straight out of a dream with tall, milky waters cascading into turquoise pools!✨

The hike to reach the falls is fairly easy but it does have a lots of steps to give give your legs a nice workout hehe

Big thanks to @authenticrinjani for bringing me here!❤️ They’re the real MVPs - super hospitable and they took all the necessary safety measures for the entire time! I also did the Persingan trek with them only - Love them, highly recommend you to book with them too incase you go!

Spending the past month here in Lombok, I have to say that Lombok beats Bali any day. It has the rawness of Indonesia and you can truly skip the crowds and explore the most amazing waterfalls here 🏝️🌺

So SHARE this with your Bali gang and go here instead!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Tell me your ALL TIME FAV destination in the comments! 

Had been seeing this trend going on for a while and wanted a create my version of it - so here it goes! 

After travelling to over 30 countries, here are some of my favorites - FIT according to your wants. 

Let’s go over all of them in detail - 

👉 Thailand: Indians can get visa on arrival offline, however if you wanna get a pre-visa you can apply online too. It’s solo traveller friendly- which means there’s gonna be lots of fellow backpackers waiting to be befriended.

👉Nepal and Switzerland: Both these mountain beauties have ALL my heart ❤️ It’s the best Destination for all adventure lovers and Nepal is also the easiest for us, Indians to visit. 

👉Phillipines and Indonesia: These places have the kindest people and are also solo traveller friendly. It’s quite easy to visit and affordable too. 

👉 Vietnam: Vietnam is NOT visa free for Indians so you need to apply for an E-visa beforehand. 

👉 Budapest or Berlin: If you’re a party animal, then Budapest or Berlin is the place to be. The nightlife, bars and the party scence here is LIT.

👉India: for the BEST, MOST diverse food! Do I even need to speak about this? 

👉Oman: I’ve already said enough about this and you know how big of a fan I am🤪 It’s the most amazing escape for nature lovers. 

👉Norway: You are allowed to camp anywhere in Norway. The roads trips are uff and the Natural scenes are just crazzyy.

Aakansha Monga Instagram - We made it under 4K actually 😋😋

I often come across people saying that they don’t travel because travelling is expensive… 

and I AGREE!

Travelling can be expensive if you choose that (which is also OKAY!)😃

What makes it expensive or cheap are the CHOICES you make! If you choose to enjoy the simple pleasures over luxury, then travelling can be very CHEAP!!! 

When I started out as a college student, I chose hostels, public buses, street food and even hitchhiking to be able to afford those trips. Even today I choose to travel this way because beyond the money part, these things give you a true local experience of a place! 

And this CHOICE is beyond just cheaper options while travelling. I choose to prioritise travel even in my daily life… saving money for trips instead of buying branded things, optimising my leaves in a way that I can use them for travel, choosing to take weekend trips instead of spending on parties and enjoy the discomfort to save that money cause the beautiful memories would make up for it anyway ❤️ 

You can get better deals and save even more money if you - 

📍Stay in hostels or govt. run stays
📍Eat local food from local shops & cafes
📍Volunteering (that’s how I started travelling during my early days)
📍Work for hostels - showcase your skills and get to explore in return
📍Having a monthly amount dedicated to your travel fund (no matter how small)
📍Planning in advance to get cheaper prices

And even if you don’t want to volunteer but just have a relaxed vacay you don’t need fancy stays or extra luxury. Trust me, the real fun and true memories come with the simple, local and raw experiences of a place!!

So the next time someone says, “Oh, but..travelling is expensive” just SHARE this video with them😉

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Step 1: Convince parents. Step 2: Convince the internet I convinced my parents.😅

How did I convince my parents? I didn’t. At least at first. 
I helped them understand. Change didn’t happen overnight. It took years of open conversations, proving my responsibility, and building their trust.

If you’re struggling too, remember—patience and honest communication can go a long way.🫶🏽

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Mission possible?😜

Just back from one of the craziest road trips ever 𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗕𝗜𝗔!🙌
First things first, if you’re renting a car, do not look beyond @zambezi_car_rental_namibia. They gave us the best briefing, the car was top-notch, and someone was always available to help. You can even take their cars across borders for a multi-country trip! 🤩🗺️
Now, Namibia is the second emptiest country in the world, and the roads? Insane. The landscapes? Even crazier. 

We started in Windhoek, then drove to 𝗘𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸, where we saw some unreal wildlife. 🦒🦏 
(Best time to visit is 𝗠𝗮𝘆-𝗢𝗰𝘁 if you want the Big Five! We went in December)
👉Next stop: 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗸𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲 felt like walking on another planet with those massive rock formations. Big shoutout to @spitzkoppetentedcamp for the best camping experience!⛺

Then came the dunes where the ocean meets the desert, in the oldest desert in the world (55 million years old, btw). This is in 𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗼𝗽𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗱! Quick stay recco: @the_fritzcollection – super comfy and cozy property to stay at if you visit! ✨
Finally, we ended in 𝗦𝗼𝘀𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘃𝗹𝗲𝗶, where these 900-year-old dead trees stand in the middle of bright red dunes. And thanks to @namibsky for the breathtaking hot air balloon ride! Easily one of the most surreal places I’ve ever been!❤️

And for my Indian travelers visa took just 2-3 days and cost around 𝗜𝗡𝗥 5000. So if a roadtrip is on your list - do it with @zambezi_car_rental_namibia in Namibia!🙆‍♀️

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Did you see the LAST VIEW😭😱😍

This is the highest I’ve ever been, Tilicho lake frozen behind me in the last frame LITERALLY took my breath away. Thank you @encampadventures for pushing me to discover new limits!

And what better backdrop than THIS?! with lush green forests, tranquil waterfalls and snowy mountains - Nepal has my ❤️!

I took little dance breaks while hiking the Annapurna circuit trek region which is one of the highest trekking routes in the world.

Noww before you hit the trails, here are some trekking tips that you must make sure to follow: 

👣 Take it slow: Pace yourself and acclimatize to the altitude as you ascend to higher elevations. 

🗺️ Plan well: Pack light but carry essentials like a first aid kit, extra layers of clothing, and snacks to keep your energy levels up.

⛰️ Stay hydrated: The altitude can be demanding, so make sure to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.

🌞 Sun protection: Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun’s rays at higher altitudes.

And when it comes to this lovely Makarena  transition trust me, it’s a classic song that never fails to bring joy! It’s sooo easy and fun - SO TRY & CREATE IT on your next hike!!! <3 

Noww go share this with your friends and make one with them soon!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Who would you go with? ❤️‍🔥

Some more details: 
1. Book your stay near the copacabana/ipanema beach or or or the Center. 

2. Book your parade tickets from bookers.com - they are the official site and others could scam you

I swear I have never felt more free in my life.🥹

For 7 straight days, Rio turns into one giant dance floor– streets shut down, music blasts from every corner, and millions of people just LET LOOSE. No stress, no judgment – just pure joy, colors, and chaos

And the Samba Parade?? OMG. People train for an entire YEAR, making 30kg costumes, building insane floats, and dancing like their life depends on it. I was shook at how GRAND it all was.

But the best part? I felt so safe. Even in the biggest crowd I’ve ever been in, the energy was just warm, happy, and electric. Ofc you need to be safe from pickpockets etc, but as a woman - damn it felt amazing. People look out for each other, and the love for life here is UNREAL.

I came here to check off a bucket list experience, but I left with a whole new outlook on life. Dance like no one’s watching, live like there’s no tomorrow, and if you ever get the chance to be in Rio for Carnival – TAKE IT.🇧🇷🔥

Aakansha Monga Instagram - VERY LATE to this trend!

I made this video and then forgot to post it 🥲
But it’s the Cutest trend ever!!!🤪

Behind every face, there’s a story… 

Now I know many of you already know about my family, childhood and have been a part of my journey from day 1, but since there are so many of you new in my community here, I thought this will be a fun way to share mine!!

I am and forever will be grateful for this journey that I chose to embark on.. wasn’t easy to choose an unconventional path at 19 but I’m SOO glad I did!! 

From being born in a normal Indian army family to convincing them for a solo trips, saving internship money and taking weekend trips, creating my first ever reel, juggling a 9-5 with content creation and then finally quitting my job and taking the leap to chase my dreams… it has truly been wild!!✨

Today, as I look back, I’m reminded that no journey to your dream is straight forward and easy but with every twist and turn we shape ourselves into who we are meant to beeee 💯

If you are inspired to take that leap, take this as a sign!!!! 

And if you already have, tell me how’s it going in the comments👇

PRO TIP: If you have a US/UK/Canadian tourist visa - you DO NOT need a Schengen visa for Montenegro! 

I spent a few days exploring this stunning country with my friend, and honestly, I hadn’t heard much about it beforehand. 
This place surprised me in all the best ways. If you’re an introvert and sometimes need a break from the crowd, Montenegro is PERFECT.  There’s so much space, peaceful vibes, and fewer tourists than you’d expect! And the landscapes are straight out of a postcard! 

Here are some quick tips to keep in mind if you’re planning to visit: 

👉The best time to visit is between April to September. Beat the summer heat and enjoy cooler, more manageable hiking weather. 

 👉Budget-Friendly food and stay: Hit up a local bakery for burek and pair it with fresh yogurt for the ultimate local breakfast. There are plenty of low to mid budget options for accommodations too. 

👉 English isn’t widely spoken, especially in smaller towns, so expect some language barriers. Learning a few basic phrases and practicing hand gestures will go a long way! 

  If you’re craving somewhere unique yet budget-friendly, Montenegro should be high on your list. 

Share this with your friends and add Montenegro to your bucketlist right now!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Indian art forms are NEXT LEVEL!! 😲

From the smallest of the movement to each stroke of makeup and colour of fabric.. every detail plays an important role in telling the story. It’s not just art, it’s a way of life in itself. Every artist devotes their life to it - MAD RESPECT for them 🙌 

During my (aakanksha) trip to Kerala, I got the chance to experience a Kathakali performance and my mind was blown to say the least.. it is so engaging, so detailed, so mesmerising and elegant ❤️ Toh ispe video toh BANTA HAI!

If you’re in Fort Kochi you must NOT miss experiencing this! The best place to watch a performance is at Kerala Kathakali Centre, for a cultural, offbeat trip in Kerala I recommend going with @highontripsbyrg!

Kerala really takes pride in Kathakali and so much so that a village called Ayroor Village fought 12 years to be renamed to “Ayrur Kathakali Gramam” for honouring its Kathakali Heritage and indicating the village’s significance to the art form.

Isn’t that fascinating?!

So now tell us, what art form is famous in your state?

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Did I win the challenge?! 🎄❄️❤️

Germany has to be the country with the BEST Christmas markets in the world and for good reason. These beautiful mesmerising markets literally make you feel like you’ve been transported inside a Christmas movie wonderland!✨

As always I found the cheapest flights on Skyscanner by using the “flexible dates” feature. IT ALWAYS WORKS & then I flew straight to Germany.

Some of the best Christmas markets that you must visit during the holiday season are -
Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt - the iconic & most famous market famous for its wooden nutcrackers as well as *lebkuchen &* mulled wine

Dresdner Striezelmarkt- The first genuine Christmas market since 1434 with over 200 stalls, a ferris wheel and beautiful lights

I personally went to the Bremen Chirstmas Market this time!

So do you think I won this challenge? 😛

Aakansha Monga Instagram - How did I do? 🤣

Whenever I travel, I always make sure to learn at least a few phrases in the local language. 
Why? Because the best travel stories aren’t just about places, they’re about people and the connections we make. 😌

Speaking their language, even just a little bit, is like a magic key. It opens up a world of smiles, invites warm conversations, and creates a bond that goes beyond just being a tourist. In Kerala, every ‘Nanni’ in Malayalam was met with a spark in the locals’ eyes - it was their way of saying, ‘You’re one of us now.’ 😉

language is more than words; it’s an expression of respect and love for the culture I’m exploring. Personally when you speak the local language- you’re speaking to their hearts! It’s about showing up, not just as a traveler, but as someone who genuinely wants to understand and embrace their way of life. 🌍✨

If you speak Malayalam - how do you think I did?! 🤣 sorry if I butchered some words!!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Can you believe this to be Oman??!!🏝

Even though this middle-eastern country is known to be a hot dessert it lies at the edge, giving it a vast coastline with truly beautiful beaches and islands, especially around Muscat!! You should definitely add Bandar Khayran and the Daymaniyat Islands to your list.

Pristine white sands and gentle turquoise blue waters are not the only special thing about this place.. the marine life here is so rich that you can find endangered sea turtles, dolphins, untouched coral reefs, morray eals, sting rays, zebra sharks as well as whale sharks!!🪸🐠

It’s one of the best places in the world for scuba diving and snorkelling. Water activities range from ₹1500 and can go up to ₹8000 depending on the activities you club while camping at the bioluminescent beaches is FREE but renting the camping gear can cost around ₹2000 for 2 people.

Some things to remember-
🐢 Turtle hatching season is from May to October so you can witness the hatching but CANNOT camp on the beach at this time!
🦈 Whale sharks migrate here only in the summer season which is August to October.
💙 Best time to experience bioluminescence is from Feb to March
Aakansha Monga Instagram - Share with an Overpacker! ✈️

Here are my top tips for packing right and avoiding those annoying overweight luggage charges:

🎯 Pack Compressible, Multi-Use Clothes
I always choose lightweight, compressible clothes over bulky ones. Plus, I love packing multi-use items! Like scarves that can be worn as a top hehe.

🎯 Packing Cubes = LIFE SAVER
If you’re not using packing cubes yet, you’re missing out! Rolling your clothes and organizing them into separate cubes saves so much space. PLUSSS this saves so much effort when it comes to unpacking!!

🎯 Ditch the Extra Electronics!
Keep it light—just travel with your phone and POCO Pad 5G. It does everything I need: planning, reading, editing videos, and more, with incredible battery life and a Full HD screen! Plus, it’s only ₹17,999* on Flipkart’s Big Billion Days Sale starting 27th September. Don’t miss out!

Now tell me—what’s your go-to packing hack to avoid overpacking? 🤔

If you think Bali is OVERRATED you’ve not seen the right places!! Both @christian.grossi_ and I have explored the BEST and not-so-best parts of Bali and we are spilling the hidden treasures that make it a traveler’s paradise!😍

Apart from the lush forests in Ubud, the thrilling waves of Uluwatu, the adrenaline-pumping climb up to Mt. Bromo and the komodo dragons, the most tempting thing is that…

Indians can travel there VISA-FREE for 30 days and a 10-day trip can be covered in INR 25-30k ($300-350) which makes it super cheap! Need I say more?✈️

So go start planning now and tell me in the comments, should we make such a reel on another destination?🤔

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Would you give your hair? :o
WEIRDEST MUSEUM EVER!
(In Avanos, Cappadocia Turkey)

This is the world’s quirkiest museum – a DUNGEON filled with HAIR!😱💇‍♀️ -  @guinnessworldrecords says this!

It’s everywhere. 30 years ago a friend of @chezgalip left her hair as her memory for him and this weird tradition of women all around the world leaving their hair behind began.

And fun fact is that he didn’t even intend for it to become a museum!
And now women from around the world leave their locks behind hoping to win a FREE holiday in the beautiful Cappadocia, where they get to learn pottery from him as well😲 

When asked “why only women?” - he first said - “you can start a museum of your own with locks of hair from men 😹”, but then went on to add how pottery was always seen as a mans job in his region and having 3 daughters himself, he wanted to encourage more & more women to take it up!!

Now here’s the big question: Would you give this man your hair? Tell me in the comments!!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Did I complete the mission?!!😋

Now OF COURSE Indian food is UNBEATABLE in taste, variety and flavours... just thinking about it is making me drool aaaaah!

BUTTT 
Malaysia’s food game actually shocked me… it was so so good!!! 😲 

Because of the diversity of the people living here the food was a melting pot of flavours from various cultures forming a fusion as delicious as ever.

You MUST do a food tour in Kuala Lumpur with @withlocals  if you want to explore the real authentic Malay cuisine and the stories behind it!! The locals will guide you to the best hidden gems of the city You can choose any out of the top 5 recommended on their website but my personal fav is “The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur: Street Food” ❤️

Apart from the dishes mentioned in the reel, here are some foodie experiences you MUST TRY when in Malaysia-

 🍵 Teh Tarik: Savour the goodness of Malaysia’s signature pulled tea

 🍧 Cendol: Cool off with a refreshing bowl of this sweet treat made with pandan rice jelly

Now even if this ain’t convincing enough for you, follow me and stay tuned cause I’m gonna be sharing a lot more that will definitely add Malaysia to your list!!!

Co-written with the amazing @weloquent team😊❤️

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Did you know this??🤔

Istanbul lies on the border of ASIA AND EUROPE… yet its considered to be a part of Europe largely by the world.

Its also the LARGEST city in the world to exist on 2 continents with a population of over 16 million people!😲 
Both the sides of the city are SO different from each other but have their own charm✨

It’s connected by the Bosphorus bridge and the best part is that you can reach from Europe to Asia in 20 mins and no need for any passport either.

But on days when there is excessive traffic, some crazy people swim through the river to go across! Isn’t that mind-blowing!!

So TAG your gang in the comments and tell me which side of Istanbul would you explore first?✅

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Homeless or HOUSELESS? 😉

Ask me any questions about this lifestyle in the comments? I’ve been doing it for a long time now hehe!

Some days I wake up and still can’t believe that I get to live the life I dreamt of as a teenager 🥹

A lot of people think the only way to live as a digital nomad is to be a travel creator, but that’s far from the truth! I rarely meet any fellow creators while working out of these nomad hotspots! Infact most of the digital nomads out there are skill based - self employed - badasses hehe! From coders to social media strategists to website designers to editors. 😍

But yes, like I said in the video - not having any base starts getting a little tiring after 4 years of doing this everyday! Which is why hopefully I’d want to find at least 3 bases by 2026! 🤞🤞(that’s the best I can do for now hahaha)

Aakansha Monga Instagram - WHAT?!? 🤯

Penguins on beach. BUT PLEASE DONT TOUCH THEM! (If that’s not obvious already. You can see them and admire them from afar!!)

Yes, you read that right. Penguins, the adorable creatures we usually associate with icy landscapes, chilling on a warm sandy beach.😎 This magical experience awaits you at Boulders Beach in Cape Town, South Africa.

But how do penguins end up on a beach? These are African penguins, a unique species native to the southern coast of Africa. They waddle around, splash in the waves, and just hang out like it is the most normal thing ever. It is such a fun and unique experience to see them in their natural habitat.🥰

So, if you’ve always wanted to see penguins but cannot head to the North Pole, Cape Town is the perfect place. Who knew penguins could be this cool on a beach?😉😉

Aakansha Monga Instagram - What are your essentials? 

You don’t want to be focusing on a 20-step skincare routine while traveling... keep it simple and glow on the go! ✨ 

Here are my top 3 essentials:

1️⃣ Lip balm with SPF – because dry lips are a no-go when snapping travel selfies.

2️⃣ Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel – instant hydration in a jar! 💧 It’s my skin’s lifesaver for flights, long days, and climate changes. It’s packed with Hyaluronic acid & electrolytes to keep your skin fresh all day! 

3️⃣ SPF 50  sunscreen– unless you’re aiming for that sunburned look (spoiler: you’re not).

Stay hydrated, pack light, and keep your skincare routine easy so you can focus on the adventure ahead! ✈️🌍

I went with @highontripsbyrg !!🏝

This beautiful little cliff beach town has to be on top of every beach destination list. It’s so cute and small yet has such wonderful unique gems that will surprise you for the best❤️

Do not miss eating at Cafe Sarwaa, Cafe Del Mara, Abba Restaurant and Inda Cafe 🤤

Best time to visit here is between October to March! 

But I didn’t have to worry about any of this cause I went with @highontripsbyrg and they took care of everything by curating the most amazing offbeat yet luxurious itinerary for me and my mom! Highly recommend them!!

But if you’re going by yourself, I’d suggest you to rent a scooty and explore! Definitely try out surfing, kayaking and ayurvedic massages while you’re here✨

And funfact: Pesto was invented here!

So tell me when are you planning to visit here?

Aakansha Monga Instagram - What’s your opinion on this? 

In this episode of the University of Travel I’ve talked about something we don’t talk about enough – the world is not as scary as we’re often told. 

The media is filled with stories of conflict, danger, and division, but the truth is, there’s a whole lot of kindness and generosity that goes unnoticed.
From a free meal in Germany when I had no cash, to an auntie in Ladakh who offered me a place to stay when my flight got cancelled – these stories never make it to the headlines, but they’re just as real. 
Isn’t it wild that we receive bad news from all corners of the globe on a tiny 7-inch screen? It’s no wonder we sometimes feel overwhelmed, like the world is falling apart. But in reality, we’re only seeing one side of the story. Travel has shown me that people are good, they care, and they show up when it matters most.
With that being said, it’s equally important to take precautions because we’re not taking any chances. Safety always comes first, but don’t let fear hold you back from discovering the good out there. 

I’m very grateful to all those kind people who make the world a beautiful place ♥️ Thank you!

If showers relax you wait until you take a Turkish hammam bath… it’s the wildest experience ever!🤯✨

If you’re in Turkey, you HAVE TO experience this!! I went to @sultansuleymanhamam in Istanbul💯 They were super hygienic and professional.

The procedure lasts for 1 - 2.5 hours and can cost anywhere between €30- €120 (₹2.5k - ₹11k) depending on the type of program you choose!

Things to know before a Hammam bath-
🫧Hammams are separate for men and women.
🫧You are ALMOST naked in there, just a thin towel.
🫧It’s a communal space, so it’s considered disrespectful to flash somebody. Be careful!
🫧The scrubbing can be painful so be prepared, but honestly no pain no gain
🫧The foam massage is too good! 

Now tell me in the comments: Would you let a stranger scrub you down?🤔

Here’s to stepping out of our comfort zones, discovering hidden gems, and saying yes to adventures we’ll talk about for years. The new year is a blank canvas, so let’s fill it with plane tickets, road maps, and stories worth sharing! 🌏

Chase more sunrises, take road trips that feel endless, and embrace moments that take your breath away because in the end, it’s these little adventures that make life beautiful.❤️😊

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Let’s go camping, guys? 🏕️ With Julian, Jonas, and Linus, that simple question turned into a soulful journey in Norway. We found our own little corner of the world and made it home with just a tent and sleeping bags.

Cooking wasn’t just about food; it was a shared ritual that filled the air with laughter and the aroma of simple, yet unforgettable meals. Even muesli tasted like a feast for the soul with that endless horizon as our backdrop. 🌄

We danced like no one was watching, except maybe the ancient trees, and our Bollywood playlist became the soundtrack of our freedom. 🎵 The car stopped not where the map told us to, but where our hearts felt the pull of nature’s beauty. 🚗

As the sun lingered in the sky, a realization washed over us: our usual worries had no place here. All that was left was pure, unfiltered joy. 🌞

We didn’t need the trappings of modern life; we needed this. Connection, nature, a bit of struggle, and those raw moments that remind you what it means to be truly alive. 🌲

Tag someone you want to experience this magic with. Because some moments are too beautiful to keep to yourself. ✨

Aakansha Monga Instagram - I can’t believe we pulled this off @julian_boes_ 😂

Oooof I can’t believe I have turned TWENTY-FIVE this year!!! Seems like a milestone and looking back I’m super super grateful at everything that has worked out till now! 

LOVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST❤️

Toh ab obviously thoda apne offbeat style mein celebrate karna toh banta hai na? Since I was in Oman and this beautiful country has so much to offer toh I decided to take up an adventure of hunting a deserted island and camping the night there! 

Now I know for many people this is the opposite of an amazing birthday plan but mere liye there’s nothing better hahahaha!! AND YES MISSION WAS A SUCCESS woohoo but even if it wasn’t, it would still be an AWESOME day cause I spent it doing what I love doing the most… chasing adventure and seeking discomfort!💯

Now this beautiful place where we found bioluminescent waters is Bandar Khayran. You can also do a night kayaking tour here to experience this. But if you’d rather avoid the thrill, the months of October to April is the best time to spot this sparkling sand✨ and you can find these at many beaches along the coastline of Muscat!!

This was definitely the best birthday for me and I hope this inspires you to go beyond your horizon too!!

Let me know in the comments below what’s an ideal birthday for you?

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Vegetarians unite?🌿

[collab]

Use my code AM20 for an extra 20% OFF📈

So many of my vegetarian friends struggle with finding good veg food abroad. They often have to miss out on delicious food and stick to the plain and boring Maggi or McD. Honestly that’s such a rookie mistake to make. Food is intricately tied to culture. Missing out on local cuisine means missing a vital part of the culture.

After exploring 40 countries as a vegetarian, I’ve cracked the code to stress-free travel dining!😎

Using tools like the HappyCow app or Google to find vegetarian options is great, but dining out EVERYDAY isn’t feasible, especially for digital nomads. 

A healthier, budget-friendly option is to carry protein bars. Brands like @thewholetruthfoods offer preservative-free options that can be added to oats and just like that- my protein intake for the day levels up!  It’s got 13g of protein, no harmful chemicals and zero nasty preservatives, these are my ultimate travel companions. Perfect for:

👉 Those hangry moments between finding restaurants

👉 Long flight delays

👉 Quick breakfast on-the-go

As a digital nomad, it’s these small tweaks that make a LOT of difference. They help me stay healthy and save money! 🤑

Aakansha Monga Instagram - What is YOUR DREAM? 

Ever since my first solo trip to Udaipur, I’ve wanted to travel the world and experience new cultures. 17 year old Aakanksha would be so proud of where I am today. 

Following my dream of travelling the world as a woman was never easy. I had to gather the courage to convince my parents, move out and take that leap. I had to leave my stable, well paying job to travel the world - which is a beautiful yet risky adventure. But today I can say that it was worth the risk! 

Following your dream is never easy - it tests your limits as a person. It will make you experience the extremities - both good and bad ones. But that’s what makes the journey enjoyable and makes our hearts dance with happiness and fulfillment ♥️

The world would have been a different place if we all followed our true dreams. Some of us genuinely don’t get the chance to do so and some of us forget our own potential. 

It’s definitely hard to follow you dreams but it’s worth it. The entire process of writing your own story will make you feel alive! 

Now tell me in the comments, what’s your dream and what are you doing to achieve it?

Aakansha Monga Instagram - 👋🏼 from country number 30!! 🇹🇼

TAIWAN 💜

I’m still dreaming about the food here 🤤🤤 
I spent 6 days exploring this country and honestly at first I was under-whelmed, but then things started looking up as soon as we ditched all “plans” and just started having fun! From abandoned villages to the best night markets in Asia to a toilet themed restaurant! 
6 days in Taiwan were EPIC now that I look back on this trip. 
Are you excited to see content from here? 👀

Aakansha Monga Instagram - Why do you workout?

I’ve been hitting the gym regularly for 6 months now and I am shocked to see how greatly it has impacted my life! Like ofcourse, I knew working out helps but it helps sooo much?!? Shocked. 

Better sleep, better performance, better mood and better life quality - these are the benefits I’ve observed in the long run. 

My motivation to work out every day - isn’t a perfect physique; I’m here for the long-term gains: strength, vitality, and a positive mindset. If your only goal is looks, it’s tough to stay committed in the long run. But when you’re in it for a healthier, happier life, every workout becomes a step towards a better you. 

I try to hit the gym every morning and yet, somedays just suck - at such times I try to make it a bit extra fun. I mix it up with friends, turning a workout into a social thing, or rewarding myself afterwards. 

The key to working out is making it FUN! Dont like to run? Then don’t! 

The key is consistency and finding what works for you. Dance, Swim or play tennis - you do you! 
So, if you’re thinking about hitting the gym or starting a workout routine, think beyond the body. Think about the strength you’ll gain, the stress you’ll release, and the happiness you’ll feel.

Aakansha Monga Instagram - What are you naturally good at? 

So many of us follow the paths that are assigned to us by society - by our parents,teachers and elders. There’s nothing wrong in doing so, but it rarely leads to true happiness. The real fun begins when we find and embrace our own natural talents. 
It’s a bummer that our education system tends to favor certain skills over others. But guess what? We can still figure things out on our own. 

👉Finding your ikigai is a Japanese concept, which combines what you love, what you’re good at, and what the world needs. Finding your ikigai can be a game changer. 
But,how do you find it? Start by journaling. Get into prompts that make you think about what you enjoy and what you’re good at. Spend some solo time, try out new things, and just be aware of what makes you tick. Sometimes, even doing nothing can spark a big idea. 
For example, I graduated with a business degree and  realized numbers and logic weren’t my thing. Instead, I love playing with words, being Vulnerable and making such videos. 
You can’t be great  without really loving what you do. To be honest, You’ve got to be obsessed with it. FIND what you love, get OBSESSED and GO ALL IN!

Aakansha Monga Instagram - It’s actually 2 months with this 1 bag 💪🏼😛

I’m all set and ready for my next trip and I have managed to fit all the outfits, shoes, toiletries, swimwear and even snacks into JUST ONE carry-on bag!!
 It’s all about the art of packing light with a touch of strategy, here’s how-

👉Roll, don’t fold - Just roll your clothes to minimize wrinkles and save space
👉I’m going to a tropical destination so my clothes aren’t heavy, but even for cold places opt for good thermal inners and warmees instead of bulky jackets
👉Opt for versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched effortlessly! 
👉Pro Tip: Invest in packing cubes to keep things organized & maximize space
👉 Ultra Pro tip: Pray for the zipper mercy!!🤣

Unfortunately the 50L rucksack I use is from Decathalon and they have discontinued this one. But any 50L rucksack would work for this. I personally recommend-
🎒Trawoc TRAWOC 50L Weather Resistent Travel Bag OR
🎒Osprey Farpoint 40 Travel Pack

Don’t forget that minimalism is way to go so prioritize essentials and the best souvenirs are the memories you make along the way❤️

Now if you’re ready to say goodbye to those big and heavy suitcases, tell me your favourite packing hacks in the comments below!

2 years ago I turned into an imperfect vegetarian, mainly due to the impact meat had on my digestive system and then subsequently also learnt about the climate impact the meat industry has. I say imperfect because being a meat eater all my life, I slip up here and there - but mostly never while i’m traveling! It’s mostly the home cooked dishes that get me some time. But this veggie journey has been of finding satisfying meat-free meals abroad has been a rewarding yet sometimes challenging journey. It’s through my own experiences that I’ve discovered the Best Vegetarian Destinations, that’ll make your stomach do the happy dance 🕺 

Before you pack your bags, here are a few tips to make your veggie travel even smoother:

👉Research Ahead: scope out veg-friendly spots and local markets in advance so that you can be relaxed on your trip.

👉Learn Local Lingo: Master a few key phrases to communicate your dietary needs.

👉Check Restaurant Reviews: Use apps like HappyCow or TripAdvisor to scout out the best vegetarian and vegan restaurants. 

👉Be Clear About Your Dietary Needs: Don’t hesitate to communicate clearly about your vegetarian diet. Politely ask about ingredients and request modifications if necessary.

👉Stay Flexible: Embrace local specialties and be open to trying new flavors!

From all the countries I’ve visited, OMAN is the most underrated ever.

The most beautiful city was Salalah and I went with @salalah_adventure_tours and @naseeb_bin.amerr was our amazing guide!

And it’s so convenient and cheap especially for Indian passport holders!

🎫 Easy & quick online visa
✈️ Direct, short & cheap flights
🥘 Super flavourful & delicious food
🕌Rich culture

The best time to visit is between October and April… it is the sweet spot with fewer crowds & pleasant weather; perfect for exploring diverse landscapes!🏜️

If there’s one country you’re planning to visit in 2024, this has to be it!

Tell me in the comments, when are you booking your tickets?🤩

Travelling is actually so much more beyond a vacation. When you step out and explore different places, people, culture, food… you’re hit with so many experiences, each different from the last!! But each one connecting you, inspiring you, altering your brain chemistry in a way that it shifts your perspective towards life!

It’s these little moments that make our travel journey’s worth it - And these moments are so raw and real that it’s difficult for myself to be able to absorb it completely, let alone capture and portray the exact feelings on camera! 

So this is just a gentle reminder to take a break from the daily grind and connect with the world around you ❤️

Whether it’s a stroll in the nearby park, watching the sunset, smiling or helping a stranger… make time for those little connections!

You are put on this earth, coexisting with nature and all these people… take that little time to soak it all in.

Trust me, You won’t regret it! 🌿✨

However that is factually incorrect. We apologize and hope that the overall message of the video does not get overshadowed by a misstep on our end. - AM & Sharanya 

This is MEGHALAYA 🇮🇳

It has one of the world’s LAST existing Matrilineal Societies.
Which means-
1. Kids carry forward their MOTHER’s names
2. Men move into their Wives’ homes
3. Property belongs to the women, enabling a sense of SECURITY
4. There is NO Dowry
5. Marriage proposals are carried out with consent and respect
6. Women spearhead agriculture and social initiatives

While Matrilineal societies are all of the above, here’s what they’re NOT-
It’s not Matriarchy. It didn’t start because
one gender wants to dominate the other.
It’s about playing to your strengths and creating a balanced society.
It’s about celebrating the existence of both Men and Women.

What a fascinating way of living, and we’re here for it!

Imagine if all of India celebrated women the way Meghalaya does? 🥹

PS: Folks from Meghalaya, do tell us how prevalent this way of life is in 2023? We’d love to learn more :).

Welcome to Malaysia friends!! And here is fun little video of me taking full advantage of the glittering night sky of Kuala Lumpur with these towers that were once one of the tallest buildings in the world✨

Uff this city is the only city that can give competition to Mumbai, Singapore and New York as a melting pot of cultures, flavours, and adventures. In my opinion, it is also the city of happy contradictions where you can see futuristic as well as ancient sides, nightlife & wildlife, high rise malls & open air markets and many other little nuggets like these!

Aakansha Monga - 353.7K Likes - Who loves trekking? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Hampta Pass is literally one of the most DRAMATIC treks in India. With lush green valleys on one side and on the other -  barren mountains with almost no vegetation, it will SHOCK you! 
I recommend going with - @indiahikes (i personally had not gone with them, but totally regretted it! When I saw how amazing their team was and how unprepared the company I’d gone with was!)

The thrill of reaching the pass itself - it’s nervous but exciting at the same time! 

👉 Over 6 days and 25 kilometers you’ll be travelling through the rugged beauty of the Himalayas. 

Now before you lace up those shoes, Here’s something you must know: 

👉 Pack light but right: Bring essentials like sturdy trekking shoes, waterproof gear, and snacks to fuel yourself. 

👉 Stay hydrated: Keep sipping water throughout the trek to avoid altitude sickness. Carry a reusable water bottle!

👉 Layer up: Weather can be unpredictable, so layer up with moisture-wicking clothes, a cozy beanie, and gloves.

👉 Listen to your body: Know your limits, take breaks when needed, and enjoy the stunning scenery along the way.

👉 Leave no trace: Respect the environment, dispose of waste properly, and leave the trail better than you found it.

It’s open only between June to October soo you have plenty of time to pre-plan and even invite a few friends over! 

Share this with them right now 😍

We had the absolute best time with him! Learnt so much about Oman in ONE day! 😊 (we = me   @julian_boes_ )

Unfortunately I cannot reveal the exact location of this paradise mainly because I don’t believe in risking a place that’s this beautifully unreal with over-tourism or pollution… I hope you understand and support this opinion!!🫶 

HOWEVER! Just reach out to the wadi expert  @mohammed_alhadi87 and trust me there’s NO BETTER guide for Muscat than him. He’ll take you to the most hidden locations around Muscat 🙂 and ensure you leave them cleaner & prettier 🙂

These sulphur pools are naturally occurring hidden in the crevices of these sharp-stoned mountains! A swim here can help you heal skin conditions and joint/ muscle pains. The extremely unique colour of the water is the first thing that strikes you – and this electric greenish blue is apparently due to the naturally high sulphur content of the water which could be coming from the the rocks in this particular area!! 

Nature is just so 🤯🤯🤯

So coming to the MAIN part: there are well-known sulphur pools that you can visit, but if you want to reach this particular spot, you DEFINITELY need a local to take you here as it takes some offroading, short walk to get to!! 
So contact @mohammed_alhadi87 when you’re in Oman and he’ll bring you out here or help you get a guide who can take you! Believe me, you won’t regret it!!😍

So who do you want to go here with? TAG them in the comments👇

Caption : 🇴🇲UNREAL VIEWS w/ @mohammed_alhadi87 We had the absolute best time with him! Learnt so much about Oman in ONE day! 😊 (we = me @julian_boes_ ) Unfortunately I cannot reveal the exact location of this paradise mainly because I don’t believe in risking a place that’s this beautifully unreal with over-tourism or pollution… I hope you understand and support this opinion!!🫶 HOWEVER! Just reach out to the wadi expert @mohammed_alhadi87 and trust me there’s NO BETTER guide for Muscat than him. He’ll take you to the most hidden locations around Muscat 🙂 and ensure you leave them cleaner & prettier 🙂 These sulphur pools are naturally occurring hidden in the crevices of these sharp-stoned mountains! A swim here can help you heal skin conditions and joint/ muscle pains.

Marottichal is a quaint beautiful village located in the Thrissur district of Kerala which is famous for its waterfalls but today I’m talking about why it’s a CHESS haven where this game literally saved lives of the people of this village😲

A tea shop owner, C. Unnikrishnan introduced chess to the people of Marottichal that were battling alcohol addiction as a way to distract them and give a wholesome and constructive alternative to their problem. This slowly turned the entire identity of the village and today it holds an Asian record of 1000 people playing chess at the same time!!

This is the BEST example of “when life gives you lemons…” you break the Asian record with them🎖

Unni never wanted to change the whole village, he just wanted to spread his passion that set a butterfly effect. Doesn’t this show how even one person’s one good deed can set a wave of change?

Let this inspire you to pick that 1 piece of trash, help that 1 kid or old person, take that 1 step that feels right and you never know what revolution you might bring✨ 

TAG that person in the comments who needs to see this now! @keralatourism

This is year 3 of making my yearly transition and it’s always my favorite hehe. It’s my fav trend that I started 3 years ago!

I can’t believe that by the end of 2024 I would’ve visited 40 countries. Little aakanksha would be so proud ☺️🥹
The year was filled with growth, surprises, challenges, and incredible moments of transformation. Through it all, travel stayed by my side, opening my heart and mind to new experiences. 
2024 will always hold a special place in my journey—this was the year I hit 1 million followers, a milestone that still feels Aahh! 

It’s also been a year of discovery, not just of the world but of myself. Here’s to carrying these lessons forward and embracing whatever lies ahead!

Aakansha Monga - 243.4K Likes - so, what’s your RICH?

We’ve always associated luxury and richness with - Fancy cars, designer bags, penthouses, lavish vacations and all sorts of other pleasures. 

But it’s high time to make the definition of being ‘RICH’ more ‘INCLUSIVE’.

Society feeds us only one definition of rich - ie. Get a high paying job, own a house, own a car or two and take luxury vacations.

But that’s BORING! 

For me, richness lies in being healthy, being close to nature and being with the people I love ❤️ 

We must all find out what ‘being rich’ means to us, and not just blindly follow someone else’s definition of rich. 

Being rich has less to do with - how big your pocket is and more to do with - how BIG your heart is.

Don’t get me wrong- there’s nothing wrong in wanting to earn more money. Infact, you DO need money to achieve my definition of “rich” too! 

The issue arises when we only see money as a way to get materialistic pleasures and luxury. These desires can never be fully satisfied, no matter how much money we have. 

Instead, we should see money as a tool for freedom — the freedom to live how we want, eat well (which can be costly), and pursue things that truly make us happy. This freedom is more than just buying things; it’s about having the time and resources to enjoy life fully.

When are you switching? 🩸

I kid you not, I was SHOCKED when I found out the about the reality of our regular period pads.

Crazy how mainstream media never talks about this.
Did you know they’re LOADED with toxic chemicals that can lead to heart disorders, Cancer, Neurological disorders and even pegnancy-related complications?
On average, a woman uses about 6-7 thousand pads in her lifetime. Now, imagine the amount of toxins that might have entered her body 😱

Also 1 sanitary pad is equivalent to 4-5 plastic bags and it takes 500-800 years to decompose. 
You are shocked too, right?
 So I started using Menstrual cups, which BTW are great! BUT, also inconvenient in many ways. 
Which is when  I stumbled upon @my.mahina Period Panties on @srish_teee video, and I was shook by all the Perks: 
👉 No rashes, No Leaks - it feels like regular underwear!
👉 Reusable up to 2 years / 100 washes – Don’t contribute to the 12 billion pads sitting in our landfills.
👉 Easy peasy wash and reuse – soo quick and stress-free

How to use it? 
👉 Wash before use and wear it like a regular underwear but without the hassle of wearing pads. 

On this World Menstruation Day, let’s make a conscious choice to switch things up – both for ourselves and our planet. Opt  for sustainable period products like @my.mahina period panties.
It’s a win-win, girls 👧 ❤️ 🌎

So just drop this video in the girl group and be a part of the change.

Aakansha Monga - 198.4K Likes - Will you eat here?💩

Taiwan is known for its themed restaurants - they have one dedicated to HELLO KITTY TOO!

But this for sure has to be one of the WIERDEST things I’ve done in a while. THIS experience was less about the food, but more about the crazy amusement of it all. I never been to a restaurant which makes me go through soo many emotions at once. From feeling absurd, to funny, to being slightly disgusted - It was worth it!

Not just the food but EVERYTHING here is toilet-themed. It’s fully decked out like a bathroom.  From checkered tile covered walls, shower heads hanging around, and chairs that are, yep, actual toilets - they have nailed it all. 

 I mean, who would’ve thought I’d be munching on my meal from plastic toilet bowls and sipping drinks from miniature urinals? And to top it off, they even served complimentary poop-shaped ice cream. 

I was very curious about the History of this restaurant so I did some research and what I found made me roll on the floor 🤣 The idea sprung from a cartoon character named Dr. Slump, who “played with poop and swirled it with a stick” 😶💩 

Inspired by this quirky character, the modern toilet restaurant was born.

And hey, Stay tuned because I’m gonna roll out more stories from Taiwan that will make you wanna add it to your bucket list ✅️

If you’re ever in Taiwan, trust me, you’ve gotta check out this place. It’s a dining experience like no other, and one you’ll be talking about for years to come! 💩

Sahara Desert is a PARADISE for you… here you’ll find yourself amongst no distractions - just you, the sand and the stars🐪✨ 

And even though it stretches over 11 countries, in my opinion, Morocco is the best place to experience it! Camp in the desert, experience the berber tribe culture, go sand-boarding and end the cool night singing around the fire with the locals!

Apart from the tall sand dunes and golden sunsets of the desert, the city of Marrakech has souks, people and vibes that will literally make you feel like you’re in an Aladdin movie🧞‍♂️

And guess what? For Indians, you just need an E-visa which is fairly easy to get. Spring (Feb to April) and Fall (Sept to Nov) are the best time to explore Morocco’s beauty with fewer crowds!

If these aren’t enough reasons to add Morocco to your bucket list today- stay tuned, cause I have a lot more coming out for you from this amazing country!!
Now tell me in the comments, who’s that special person who you’d like to be lost with in the Sahara desert?💌

Anegundi is a small village located in the Kopal district of Karnataka and the women here are the true change-makers 🙌

Did you know it’s older than Hampi itself and was once called Kishkindha from the Ramayana tales?

The story goes way back to 1998 when @shama_pawar ma’am, the founder of @kishkindatrust, launched a sustainable project to use up the banana bio waste and water hyacinth into beautiful items. This initiative started with JUST 3 women initially, but the project slowly became a success and empowered hundreds of women of Anegundi to join hands in saving the environment while earning a livelihood for their home.

“But why banana and water hyacinth only?” you may ask…

Well apart from being abundant plants in the nature, the fibre extracted from these plants is not only SUPER strong and recyclable but also naturally water, fire and tear resistant!! That’s why many other initiatives are using these as alternatives to make paper, fabric and so many other items ✅

So SHARE this video to raise awareness and inspire action among others✨

Also, leave a “🦈” in the comments if you think this is an initiative that deserves the sharks’ attention!!

Are you sick of the usual chaos of packing? Can never fit your clothes perfectly in an organised and compact way? 

Then forget folding and piling them the normal way and let’s “army roll” them up!! 

This cool trick works for all types of big and small clothes.. for tees, hoodies, jeans and almost everything! I would literally never fit everywhere if it weren’t for this lol

And please GET PACKING CUBES to fit compress them in your bag hehe

Did you know that Kerala has a 100% literacy rate which is the highest in India? This village proves why!

Perumkulam is known as the book village of Kerala! This charming village is a paradise and safe haven for avid readers✨

It all started with a few young people who turned their grief over Gandhiji’s death into something useful for the society by creating a tiny library in a small room with just a hundred books. 

But now almost every junction in this village has outdoor nest-like book shelves set up for readers to enjoy! The books all around the village are FREE for all so people can either read the books or take one home while replacing it with another. 

It’s such an inspiring and unique communal experience❤️

Fun fact: This is not the only village that loves and values books! In fact the FIRST ever book village of India is Bhilar that is located in Maharashtra. Here, every household in the village maintains a library for the tourists to enjoy 💯

Would you get inspired by them to create your own book nest in your city?

Aakansha Monga - 133.8K Likes - This place has my heart🥹♥️

Not many people know about these two quaint little villages hidden near Kasol where time just seems to slow down - Kalga and Pulga. Shoutout to @peaceaurparvat for taking me here! 

If you think about it - we are always running, always chasing something or the other. And doesn’t time seem to fly by faster when you’re always on the GO?! This fast pace is making you MISS OUT on the best experience - which is life itself!!

It’s only when you take a moment to pause and notice the beauty of the day to day mundane that you realise how slowing the pace allows you to actually live and cherish life✨️

So now if you’re eager to experience this yourself then slow down and read this first- 

👉 You cannot reach Kalga & Pulga through any vehicles since no roads are connected with these towns! Can you believe it?

👉 The best way is to reach Bershaini (a town near kasol) by car and then hike your way upto Kalga & Pulga. The hike is of moderate difficulty and takes about 30 mins or so.

👉 It doesn’t have hotels but you are welcomed by warm, cozy & affordable homestays making it an AMazing pick for backpackers. (I recommend @yalakhom.in , @zostel)

👉 Make sure to soak yourself up in the Rudranag waterfall near these villages.

Now go SHARE this w someone who needs a break and tell me in the comments do you know any other such places that slow down time?

I didn’t expect Hampi to be THIS beautiful, peaceful, and fun?! The lakes, the sunset, the food, and the people—everything about this place was just so therapeutic 😍

If you or that overworked friend of yours NEEDS a vacay… this quaint little town is the place to be!! It’s a chill backpackers’ town, and even though it can be a bit crowded with tourists during peak season, if you know the right places to be, you’ll be away from the crowds.🤪
And if you’re looking for a great place to stay, @thegoancorner is the perfect spot to experience the true backpacker’s vibe in Hampi.

Here are my top reccos for when in Hampi:

👉 Sanapur Lake - Go for a relaxing swim or ride the circular boats (coracles).

👉 Matanga Hill - Witness the famous Hampi sunsets from the top!

👉 Go cliff jumping - Lots of cliffs to jump from in Hampi, but please go with locals or tour guides as there can be crocs in the water!

👉 Discover Indian Heritage - It’s known as the city of Ruins, so you must visit the ruins at Badami, Aihole, and Pattadakal.

👉 Lots of Adventure - Bouldering, climbing hills, slack-lining, and a lot more!!

A huge shoutout to @code_name_click for sharing some of his clips with me! 🙌 He’s amazing, check out his account!!

So tell me in the comments, when are you going?

Aakansha Monga - 120.3K Likes - Tell me, Would you like to sleep on a wooden pillow?

Firstly, A huge shout out to @omovalleytours, led by the amazing Fitsum. They’re the most ethical and sustainable travel company I’ve come across, ensuring that the tribes’ traditions and livelihoods are respected. Their services are top-notch, and you can trust them to provide a meaningful and responsible travel experience. 

Ethiopia continues to blow my mind in the most unexpected ways. First, the Bana tribe walking on wooden stilts, and now, people literally sleeping on wooden pillows!

It’s such a wild contrast to the modern comforts we take for granted. Everything here is so different, so raw, and so incredibly fascinating. 

If I hadn’t traveled to Ethiopia, I would’ve never seen something this unique. It’s moments like these that give you what I call a ‘traveler’s eye’ -  the ability to see and appreciate different ways of life without judgment. 
Ethiopia is truly one of the most special and challenging countries I’ve visited. From its diverse tribes to its stunning landscapes, it’s a place that pushes you to rethink and adapt. 
Ethiopia is a world apart—a place that challenges and changes you. And honestly, isn’t that what travel is all about?

Ahhh, it feels like a warm hug from the mountains themselves 💖

Travel with @encampadventures and experience Nepal with them, here are some tips:

✨VISA FREE✨ for Indians. In fact, it’s even accessible by railways and roadways for Indians. (Take a train from Delhi to Gorakhpur followed by a bus to the border). PERFECT for a budget backpacking trip!

👉 The Best time to visit is between October-December or during Spring time - when the skies are clear and open. I visited in April, which is the onset of spring 🌼

Nepal, where do I even begin?  From the moment I set foot in this beautiful land with @encampadventures I was HOOKED!

I ventured through the Annapurna region, which tested both my mental and physical limits. Then, I found myself standing at the edge of the world’s highest lake - Tilicho Lake, sitting majestically at an altitude of 4,949 meters.
If you’re in Nepal trust @encampadventures to plan your trip, they are an eco friendly travel company that will ensure you have the BEST cultural, local, unique experiences. They literally delivered the best trip possible!!!!!!! 1000% recommend.

Anddd the landscapes and scenery during this trek? Straight out of a dream!

One minute you’re surrounded by lush greenery, and the next, you’re amidst the awesome Himalayan peaks!

It was a long trek with walking at least 6-8 hours everyday, but let me tell you - the sense of accomplishment I felt after I reached the highest point? Indescribable. The adrenaline rush was CRAZY.

Nepal, you stole my heart completely, and I’ll forever relish the memories you gave me. 🥹🥹

Aakansha Monga - 114K Likes - ITINERARY IN CAPTION 👇🏼😍

Here’s a lil throwback to my DREAMY solo trip to Switzerland and honestly it wouldn’t have been so dreamy if it weren’t for these train rides!! The Swiss travel system is very well connected and super convenient and the beautiful views is ALWAYS a plus ♥️
So if you’re planning to visit, you MUST get the Travel Pass because it gives unlimited travel in any public transport (trains, buses and even boats) without any prior booking!! 

Ohh and here’s my 9 day itinerary for the best trip:

Vevey: A cute town on Lake Geneva. Make sure you go to the Saturday market & swim in the lake too!!

Lavaux-Lausanne: Beautiful Wine towns! Go for an e-bike tour here for a one-of-a-kind experience.

Montreux: The town’s promenade is lined with elements that look like a postcard. Also check out - Château de Chillon and Les Avants (beautiful and offbeat!).

Lucerne: Tae a short hike to Mt. Rigi for the sunrise views and cabrio (the world’s only open cable car!!)

Iseltwald-Giessbach: Walk along the idyllic lakeside trail from Iseltwald to the impressive Giessbach Falls!! Don’t skip the boat ride on Lake Brienz.

Grindelwald: One of the most beautiful villages with the Alps as the backdrop😍 Visiting the Jungfraujoch which is the top of Europe is a must!

Spiez: Take a boat ride on Lake Thun! Lakes and vineyards are amazing here.

Lauterbrunnen: 72 waterfalls in this beautiful town, need I say more? :)

Interlaken: The most beautiful town. Base yourself here and explore adventure activities (paragliding and ropes park!)

QUICK TIP: You can base yourself out of Vevey, Montreux or Lucerne for the first 4 days and Interlaken & lauterbrunnen for the last 5 days as the other locations are just 35-40 mins away.

AND the best part is that all of these locations are very well connected with the Travel Pass making the whole trip extremely hassle-free ✅

So start planning now only and tell me in the comments what’s your most fav train journey?

#ad

We often think that the biggest reason we can’t travel is because we don’t have enough money. 

But here’s the truth: it’s rarely about how much you earn and almost always about how you prioritize. 

And with tools like Skyscanner, finding affordable options has never been easier—just choose “Everywhere” as your destination and let it show you the cheapest flights out. There! You have one affordable travel plan! 😎

The key to making travel happen is focusing on what truly matters to you. When you start seeing small expenses as opportunities to save, travel becomes more achievable.

Remember, money isn’t the biggest problem. Prioritization is. 

So, what are you waiting for? Make your dream trip a reality.

Culture, Culinary, Coffee, Caves and Craziness - that’s VIETNAM for ME ❤️

I spent around 20 days in this beautiful country and honestly it’s so beautiful, affordable and a perfect destination especially for backpackers & solo travellers ✅

So here’s a quick summary of the itinerary and some tips for you so that you can start planning asapppp!- 

Day 1 - Arrive in Hanoi
Day 2 and 3 - Head to Cat Ba Islands
Day 4 - Move to Ninh Binh 
Day 5 and 6 - Explore the caves of Phong Na 
Day 7 and 8 - Dive into the city of lights: Hoi An
Day 9 and 10 - Explore Ho Chi Minh OR 
Day 9 and 10 - Fly to Hanoi & bus to Sa Pa to enjoy the village life

👉 10-12 days is a decent time to soak in the beauty of Vietnam but you can stay longer and explore the slow life out there!
👉 November and April is the best time to visit Vietnam as it experiences the least amount of rainfall during this time.
👉 Vietnam is has an E-visa for Indians 
👉 Trains & buses are affordable, clean and convenient so you can easily save money on that. Use 12goasia to book
👉 Avg price of one-way flights in April/May 2024 is INR 10-14k but the CHEAPEST month to fly to Vietnam is October priced at JUST INR 6,900 from Mumbai to Hanoi!!😱

Hope this helps. Add your experiences and tips in the comments belowww

Aakansha Monga - 108.4K Likes - INDONESIA IS MAGICAL 😍

As a self-proclaimed pro waterfall chaser, this is hands-down one of the most majestic and mesmerizing waterfalls I’ve EVER experienced!!! 

📍THIS is the Tiu Kelep waterfalls in Lombok, Indonesia. Yes, there is more to Indonesia beyond Bali.

It’s literally a tucked-away paradise straight out of a dream with tall, milky waters cascading into turquoise pools!✨

The hike to reach the falls is fairly easy but it does have a lots of steps to give give your legs a nice workout hehe

Big thanks to @authenticrinjani for bringing me here!❤️ They’re the real MVPs - super hospitable and they took all the necessary safety measures for the entire time! I also did the Persingan trek with them only - Love them, highly recommend you to book with them too incase you go!

Spending the past month here in Lombok, I have to say that Lombok beats Bali any day. It has the rawness of Indonesia and you can truly skip the crowds and explore the most amazing waterfalls here 🏝️🌺

So SHARE this with your Bali gang and go here instead!

Had been seeing this trend going on for a while and wanted a create my version of it - so here it goes! 

After travelling to over 30 countries, here are some of my favorites - FIT according to your wants. 

Let’s go over all of them in detail - 

👉 Thailand: Indians can get visa on arrival offline, however if you wanna get a pre-visa you can apply online too. It’s solo traveller friendly- which means there’s gonna be lots of fellow backpackers waiting to be befriended.

👉Nepal and Switzerland: Both these mountain beauties have ALL my heart ❤️ It’s the best Destination for all adventure lovers and Nepal is also the easiest for us, Indians to visit. 

👉Phillipines and Indonesia: These places have the kindest people and are also solo traveller friendly. It’s quite easy to visit and affordable too. 

👉 Vietnam: Vietnam is NOT visa free for Indians so you need to apply for an E-visa beforehand. 

👉 Budapest or Berlin: If you’re a party animal, then Budapest or Berlin is the place to be. The nightlife, bars and the party scence here is LIT.

👉India: for the BEST, MOST diverse food! Do I even need to speak about this? 

👉Oman: I’ve already said enough about this and you know how big of a fan I am🤪 It’s the most amazing escape for nature lovers. 

👉Norway: You are allowed to camp anywhere in Norway. The roads trips are uff and the Natural scenes are just crazzyy.

Aakansha Monga - 105K Likes - We made it under 4K actually 😋😋

I often come across people saying that they don’t travel because travelling is expensive… 

and I AGREE!

Travelling can be expensive if you choose that (which is also OKAY!)😃

What makes it expensive or cheap are the CHOICES you make! If you choose to enjoy the simple pleasures over luxury, then travelling can be very CHEAP!!! 

When I started out as a college student, I chose hostels, public buses, street food and even hitchhiking to be able to afford those trips. Even today I choose to travel this way because beyond the money part, these things give you a true local experience of a place! 

And this CHOICE is beyond just cheaper options while travelling. I choose to prioritise travel even in my daily life… saving money for trips instead of buying branded things, optimising my leaves in a way that I can use them for travel, choosing to take weekend trips instead of spending on parties and enjoy the discomfort to save that money cause the beautiful memories would make up for it anyway ❤️ 

You can get better deals and save even more money if you - 

📍Stay in hostels or govt. run stays
📍Eat local food from local shops & cafes
📍Volunteering (that’s how I started travelling during my early days)
📍Work for hostels - showcase your skills and get to explore in return
📍Having a monthly amount dedicated to your travel fund (no matter how small)
📍Planning in advance to get cheaper prices

And even if you don’t want to volunteer but just have a relaxed vacay you don’t need fancy stays or extra luxury. Trust me, the real fun and true memories come with the simple, local and raw experiences of a place!!

So the next time someone says, “Oh, but..travelling is expensive” just SHARE this video with them😉

Aakansha Monga - 104.1K Likes - Step 1: Convince parents. Step 2: Convince the internet I convinced my parents.😅

How did I convince my parents? I didn’t. At least at first. 
I helped them understand. Change didn’t happen overnight. It took years of open conversations, proving my responsibility, and building their trust.

If you’re struggling too, remember—patience and honest communication can go a long way.🫶🏽

Just back from one of the craziest road trips ever 𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗕𝗜𝗔!🙌
First things first, if you’re renting a car, do not look beyond @zambezi_car_rental_namibia. They gave us the best briefing, the car was top-notch, and someone was always available to help. You can even take their cars across borders for a multi-country trip! 🤩🗺️
Now, Namibia is the second emptiest country in the world, and the roads? Insane. The landscapes? Even crazier. 

We started in Windhoek, then drove to 𝗘𝘁𝗼𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸, where we saw some unreal wildlife. 🦒🦏 
(Best time to visit is 𝗠𝗮𝘆-𝗢𝗰𝘁 if you want the Big Five! We went in December)
👉Next stop: 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗸𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲 felt like walking on another planet with those massive rock formations. Big shoutout to @spitzkoppetentedcamp for the best camping experience!⛺

Then came the dunes where the ocean meets the desert, in the oldest desert in the world (55 million years old, btw). This is in 𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗸𝗼𝗽𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗱! Quick stay recco: @the_fritzcollection – super comfy and cozy property to stay at if you visit! ✨
Finally, we ended in 𝗦𝗼𝘀𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘃𝗹𝗲𝗶, where these 900-year-old dead trees stand in the middle of bright red dunes. And thanks to @namibsky for the breathtaking hot air balloon ride! Easily one of the most surreal places I’ve ever been!❤️

And for my Indian travelers visa took just 2-3 days and cost around 𝗜𝗡𝗥 5000. So if a roadtrip is on your list - do it with @zambezi_car_rental_namibia in Namibia!🙆‍♀️

Aakansha Monga - 88K Likes - Did you see the LAST VIEW😭😱😍

This is the highest I’ve ever been, Tilicho lake frozen behind me in the last frame LITERALLY took my breath away. Thank you @encampadventures for pushing me to discover new limits!

And what better backdrop than THIS?! with lush green forests, tranquil waterfalls and snowy mountains - Nepal has my ❤️!

I took little dance breaks while hiking the Annapurna circuit trek region which is one of the highest trekking routes in the world.

Noww before you hit the trails, here are some trekking tips that you must make sure to follow: 

👣 Take it slow: Pace yourself and acclimatize to the altitude as you ascend to higher elevations. 

🗺️ Plan well: Pack light but carry essentials like a first aid kit, extra layers of clothing, and snacks to keep your energy levels up.

⛰️ Stay hydrated: The altitude can be demanding, so make sure to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.

🌞 Sun protection: Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun’s rays at higher altitudes.

And when it comes to this lovely Makarena  transition trust me, it’s a classic song that never fails to bring joy! It’s sooo easy and fun - SO TRY & CREATE IT on your next hike!!! <3 

Noww go share this with your friends and make one with them soon!

Aakansha Monga - 84.2K Likes - Who would you go with? ❤️‍🔥

Some more details: 
1. Book your stay near the copacabana/ipanema beach or or or the Center. 

2. Book your parade tickets from bookers.com - they are the official site and others could scam you

I swear I have never felt more free in my life.🥹

For 7 straight days, Rio turns into one giant dance floor– streets shut down, music blasts from every corner, and millions of people just LET LOOSE. No stress, no judgment – just pure joy, colors, and chaos

And the Samba Parade?? OMG. People train for an entire YEAR, making 30kg costumes, building insane floats, and dancing like their life depends on it. I was shook at how GRAND it all was.

But the best part? I felt so safe. Even in the biggest crowd I’ve ever been in, the energy was just warm, happy, and electric. Ofc you need to be safe from pickpockets etc, but as a woman - damn it felt amazing. People look out for each other, and the love for life here is UNREAL.

I came here to check off a bucket list experience, but I left with a whole new outlook on life. Dance like no one’s watching, live like there’s no tomorrow, and if you ever get the chance to be in Rio for Carnival – TAKE IT.🇧🇷🔥

Aakansha Monga - 83.2K Likes - VERY LATE to this trend!

I made this video and then forgot to post it 🥲
But it’s the Cutest trend ever!!!🤪

Behind every face, there’s a story… 

Now I know many of you already know about my family, childhood and have been a part of my journey from day 1, but since there are so many of you new in my community here, I thought this will be a fun way to share mine!!

I am and forever will be grateful for this journey that I chose to embark on.. wasn’t easy to choose an unconventional path at 19 but I’m SOO glad I did!! 

From being born in a normal Indian army family to convincing them for a solo trips, saving internship money and taking weekend trips, creating my first ever reel, juggling a 9-5 with content creation and then finally quitting my job and taking the leap to chase my dreams… it has truly been wild!!✨

Today, as I look back, I’m reminded that no journey to your dream is straight forward and easy but with every twist and turn we shape ourselves into who we are meant to beeee 💯

If you are inspired to take that leap, take this as a sign!!!! 

And if you already have, tell me how’s it going in the comments👇

PRO TIP: If you have a US/UK/Canadian tourist visa - you DO NOT need a Schengen visa for Montenegro! 

I spent a few days exploring this stunning country with my friend, and honestly, I hadn’t heard much about it beforehand. 
This place surprised me in all the best ways. If you’re an introvert and sometimes need a break from the crowd, Montenegro is PERFECT.  There’s so much space, peaceful vibes, and fewer tourists than you’d expect! And the landscapes are straight out of a postcard! 

Here are some quick tips to keep in mind if you’re planning to visit: 

👉The best time to visit is between April to September. Beat the summer heat and enjoy cooler, more manageable hiking weather. 

 👉Budget-Friendly food and stay: Hit up a local bakery for burek and pair it with fresh yogurt for the ultimate local breakfast. There are plenty of low to mid budget options for accommodations too. 

👉 English isn’t widely spoken, especially in smaller towns, so expect some language barriers. Learning a few basic phrases and practicing hand gestures will go a long way! 

  If you’re craving somewhere unique yet budget-friendly, Montenegro should be high on your list.

I spent a few days exploring this stunning country with my friend, and honestly, I hadn’t heard much about it beforehand. This place surprised me in all the best ways. If you’re an introvert and sometimes need a break from the crowd, Montenegro is PERFECT. There’s so much space, peaceful vibes, and fewer tourists than you’d expect! And the landscapes are straight out of a postcard! Here are some quick tips to keep in mind if you’re planning to visit: 👉The best time to visit is between April to September.

Aakansha Monga - 76.1K Likes - Indian art forms are NEXT LEVEL!! 😲

From the smallest of the movement to each stroke of makeup and colour of fabric.. every detail plays an important role in telling the story. It’s not just art, it’s a way of life in itself. Every artist devotes their life to it - MAD RESPECT for them 🙌 

During my (aakanksha) trip to Kerala, I got the chance to experience a Kathakali performance and my mind was blown to say the least.. it is so engaging, so detailed, so mesmerising and elegant ❤️ Toh ispe video toh BANTA HAI!

If you’re in Fort Kochi you must NOT miss experiencing this! The best place to watch a performance is at Kerala Kathakali Centre, for a cultural, offbeat trip in Kerala I recommend going with @highontripsbyrg!

Kerala really takes pride in Kathakali and so much so that a village called Ayroor Village fought 12 years to be renamed to “Ayrur Kathakali Gramam” for honouring its Kathakali Heritage and indicating the village’s significance to the art form.

Isn’t that fascinating?!

So now tell us, what art form is famous in your state?

Aakansha Monga - 72.4K Likes - Did I win the challenge?! 🎄❄️❤️

Germany has to be the country with the BEST Christmas markets in the world and for good reason. These beautiful mesmerising markets literally make you feel like you’ve been transported inside a Christmas movie wonderland!✨

As always I found the cheapest flights on Skyscanner by using the “flexible dates” feature. IT ALWAYS WORKS & then I flew straight to Germany.

Some of the best Christmas markets that you must visit during the holiday season are -
Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt - the iconic & most famous market famous for its wooden nutcrackers as well as *lebkuchen &* mulled wine

Dresdner Striezelmarkt- The first genuine Christmas market since 1434 with over 200 stalls, a ferris wheel and beautiful lights

I personally went to the Bremen Chirstmas Market this time!

So do you think I won this challenge? 😛

Aakansha Monga - 70.6K Likes - How did I do? 🤣

Whenever I travel, I always make sure to learn at least a few phrases in the local language. 
Why? Because the best travel stories aren’t just about places, they’re about people and the connections we make. 😌

Speaking their language, even just a little bit, is like a magic key. It opens up a world of smiles, invites warm conversations, and creates a bond that goes beyond just being a tourist. In Kerala, every ‘Nanni’ in Malayalam was met with a spark in the locals’ eyes - it was their way of saying, ‘You’re one of us now.’ 😉

language is more than words; it’s an expression of respect and love for the culture I’m exploring. Personally when you speak the local language- you’re speaking to their hearts! It’s about showing up, not just as a traveler, but as someone who genuinely wants to understand and embrace their way of life. 🌍✨

If you speak Malayalam - how do you think I did?! 🤣 sorry if I butchered some words!!

Aakansha Monga - 66.1K Likes - Can you believe this to be Oman??!!🏝

Even though this middle-eastern country is known to be a hot dessert it lies at the edge, giving it a vast coastline with truly beautiful beaches and islands, especially around Muscat!! You should definitely add Bandar Khayran and the Daymaniyat Islands to your list.

Pristine white sands and gentle turquoise blue waters are not the only special thing about this place.. the marine life here is so rich that you can find endangered sea turtles, dolphins, untouched coral reefs, morray eals, sting rays, zebra sharks as well as whale sharks!!🪸🐠

It’s one of the best places in the world for scuba diving and snorkelling. Water activities range from ₹1500 and can go up to ₹8000 depending on the activities you club while camping at the bioluminescent beaches is FREE but renting the camping gear can cost around ₹2000 for 2 people.

Some things to remember-
🐢 Turtle hatching season is from May to October so you can witness the hatching but CANNOT camp on the beach at this time!
🦈 Whale sharks migrate here only in the summer season which is August to October.
💙 Best time to experience bioluminescence is from Feb to March

Aakansha Monga - 66.1K Likes - Share with an Overpacker! ✈️

Here are my top tips for packing right and avoiding those annoying overweight luggage charges:

🎯 Pack Compressible, Multi-Use Clothes
I always choose lightweight, compressible clothes over bulky ones. Plus, I love packing multi-use items! Like scarves that can be worn as a top hehe.

🎯 Packing Cubes = LIFE SAVER
If you’re not using packing cubes yet, you’re missing out! Rolling your clothes and organizing them into separate cubes saves so much space. PLUSSS this saves so much effort when it comes to unpacking!!

🎯 Ditch the Extra Electronics!
Keep it light—just travel with your phone and POCO Pad 5G. It does everything I need: planning, reading, editing videos, and more, with incredible battery life and a Full HD screen! Plus, it’s only ₹17,999* on Flipkart’s Big Billion Days Sale starting 27th September. Don’t miss out!

Now tell me—what’s your go-to packing hack to avoid overpacking? 🤔

If you think Bali is OVERRATED you’ve not seen the right places!! Both @christian.grossi_ and I have explored the BEST and not-so-best parts of Bali and we are spilling the hidden treasures that make it a traveler’s paradise!😍

Apart from the lush forests in Ubud, the thrilling waves of Uluwatu, the adrenaline-pumping climb up to Mt. Bromo and the komodo dragons, the most tempting thing is that…

Indians can travel there VISA-FREE for 30 days and a 10-day trip can be covered in INR 25-30k ($300-350) which makes it super cheap! Need I say more?✈️

So go start planning now and tell me in the comments, should we make such a reel on another destination?🤔

WEIRDEST MUSEUM EVER!
(In Avanos, Cappadocia Turkey)

This is the world’s quirkiest museum – a DUNGEON filled with HAIR!😱💇‍♀️ -  @guinnessworldrecords says this!

It’s everywhere. 30 years ago a friend of @chezgalip left her hair as her memory for him and this weird tradition of women all around the world leaving their hair behind began.

And fun fact is that he didn’t even intend for it to become a museum!
And now women from around the world leave their locks behind hoping to win a FREE holiday in the beautiful Cappadocia, where they get to learn pottery from him as well😲 

When asked “why only women?” - he first said - “you can start a museum of your own with locks of hair from men 😹”, but then went on to add how pottery was always seen as a mans job in his region and having 3 daughters himself, he wanted to encourage more & more women to take it up!!

Now here’s the big question: Would you give this man your hair? Tell me in the comments!!

Malaysia’s food game actually shocked me… it was so so good!!! 😲 

Because of the diversity of the people living here the food was a melting pot of flavours from various cultures forming a fusion as delicious as ever.

You MUST do a food tour in Kuala Lumpur with @withlocals  if you want to explore the real authentic Malay cuisine and the stories behind it!! The locals will guide you to the best hidden gems of the city You can choose any out of the top 5 recommended on their website but my personal fav is “The 10 Tastings of Kuala Lumpur: Street Food” ❤️

Apart from the dishes mentioned in the reel, here are some foodie experiences you MUST TRY when in Malaysia-

 🍵 Teh Tarik: Savour the goodness of Malaysia’s signature pulled tea

 🍧 Cendol: Cool off with a refreshing bowl of this sweet treat made with pandan rice jelly

Istanbul lies on the border of ASIA AND EUROPE… yet its considered to be a part of Europe largely by the world.

Its also the LARGEST city in the world to exist on 2 continents with a population of over 16 million people!😲 
Both the sides of the city are SO different from each other but have their own charm✨

It’s connected by the Bosphorus bridge and the best part is that you can reach from Europe to Asia in 20 mins and no need for any passport either.

But on days when there is excessive traffic, some crazy people swim through the river to go across! Isn’t that mind-blowing!!

So TAG your gang in the comments and tell me which side of Istanbul would you explore first?✅

Ask me any questions about this lifestyle in the comments? I’ve been doing it for a long time now hehe!

Some days I wake up and still can’t believe that I get to live the life I dreamt of as a teenager 🥹

A lot of people think the only way to live as a digital nomad is to be a travel creator, but that’s far from the truth! I rarely meet any fellow creators while working out of these nomad hotspots! Infact most of the digital nomads out there are skill based - self employed - badasses hehe! From coders to social media strategists to website designers to editors. 😍

But yes, like I said in the video - not having any base starts getting a little tiring after 4 years of doing this everyday! Which is why hopefully I’d want to find at least 3 bases by 2026! 🤞🤞(that’s the best I can do for now hahaha)

Aakansha Monga - 61K Likes - WHAT?!? 🤯

Penguins on beach. BUT PLEASE DONT TOUCH THEM! (If that’s not obvious already. You can see them and admire them from afar!!)

Yes, you read that right. Penguins, the adorable creatures we usually associate with icy landscapes, chilling on a warm sandy beach.😎 This magical experience awaits you at Boulders Beach in Cape Town, South Africa.

But how do penguins end up on a beach? These are African penguins, a unique species native to the southern coast of Africa. They waddle around, splash in the waves, and just hang out like it is the most normal thing ever. It is such a fun and unique experience to see them in their natural habitat.🥰

So, if you’ve always wanted to see penguins but cannot head to the North Pole, Cape Town is the perfect place. Who knew penguins could be this cool on a beach?😉😉

Aakansha Monga - 60.6K Likes - What are your essentials? 

You don’t want to be focusing on a 20-step skincare routine while traveling... keep it simple and glow on the go! ✨ 

Here are my top 3 essentials:

1️⃣ Lip balm with SPF – because dry lips are a no-go when snapping travel selfies.

2️⃣ Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel – instant hydration in a jar! 💧 It’s my skin’s lifesaver for flights, long days, and climate changes. It’s packed with Hyaluronic acid & electrolytes to keep your skin fresh all day! 

3️⃣ SPF 50  sunscreen– unless you’re aiming for that sunburned look (spoiler: you’re not).

Stay hydrated, pack light, and keep your skincare routine easy so you can focus on the adventure ahead! ✈️🌍

I went with @highontripsbyrg !!🏝

This beautiful little cliff beach town has to be on top of every beach destination list. It’s so cute and small yet has such wonderful unique gems that will surprise you for the best❤️

Do not miss eating at Cafe Sarwaa, Cafe Del Mara, Abba Restaurant and Inda Cafe 🤤

Best time to visit here is between October to March! 

But I didn’t have to worry about any of this cause I went with @highontripsbyrg and they took care of everything by curating the most amazing offbeat yet luxurious itinerary for me and my mom! Highly recommend them!!

But if you’re going by yourself, I’d suggest you to rent a scooty and explore! Definitely try out surfing, kayaking and ayurvedic massages while you’re here✨

Cinque Terre in Italy has 5 villages all connected through 1 train and feels like its come right out of a fairytale for you!

Beautiful mountains, blue waters, vibrant houses, golden delicious wine ufff (make sure to book a winery tour here, I stayed in Riomaggiore and that was honestly the best choice! Go to Manarolla only for a day trip.

And funfact: Pesto was invented here!

So tell me when are you planning to visit here?

Aakansha Monga - 59.4K Likes - What’s your opinion on this? 

In this episode of the University of Travel I’ve talked about something we don’t talk about enough – the world is not as scary as we’re often told. 

The media is filled with stories of conflict, danger, and division, but the truth is, there’s a whole lot of kindness and generosity that goes unnoticed.
From a free meal in Germany when I had no cash, to an auntie in Ladakh who offered me a place to stay when my flight got cancelled – these stories never make it to the headlines, but they’re just as real. 
Isn’t it wild that we receive bad news from all corners of the globe on a tiny 7-inch screen? It’s no wonder we sometimes feel overwhelmed, like the world is falling apart. But in reality, we’re only seeing one side of the story. Travel has shown me that people are good, they care, and they show up when it matters most.
With that being said, it’s equally important to take precautions because we’re not taking any chances. Safety always comes first, but don’t let fear hold you back from discovering the good out there. 

I’m very grateful to all those kind people who make the world a beautiful place ♥️ Thank you!

If showers relax you wait until you take a Turkish hammam bath… it’s the wildest experience ever!🤯✨

If you’re in Turkey, you HAVE TO experience this!! I went to @sultansuleymanhamam in Istanbul💯 They were super hygienic and professional.

The procedure lasts for 1 - 2.5 hours and can cost anywhere between €30- €120 (₹2.5k - ₹11k) depending on the type of program you choose!

Things to know before a Hammam bath-
🫧Hammams are separate for men and women.
🫧You are ALMOST naked in there, just a thin towel.
🫧It’s a communal space, so it’s considered disrespectful to flash somebody. Be careful!
🫧The scrubbing can be painful so be prepared, but honestly no pain no gain
🫧The foam massage is too good! 

Now tell me in the comments: Would you let a stranger scrub you down?🤔

Aakansha Monga - 56.5K Likes - Let’s go camping, guys? 🏕️ With Julian, Jonas, and Linus, that simple question turned into a soulful journey in Norway. We found our own little corner of the world and made it home with just a tent and sleeping bags.

Cooking wasn’t just about food; it was a shared ritual that filled the air with laughter and the aroma of simple, yet unforgettable meals. Even muesli tasted like a feast for the soul with that endless horizon as our backdrop. 🌄

We danced like no one was watching, except maybe the ancient trees, and our Bollywood playlist became the soundtrack of our freedom. 🎵 The car stopped not where the map told us to, but where our hearts felt the pull of nature’s beauty. 🚗

As the sun lingered in the sky, a realization washed over us: our usual worries had no place here. All that was left was pure, unfiltered joy. 🌞

We didn’t need the trappings of modern life; we needed this. Connection, nature, a bit of struggle, and those raw moments that remind you what it means to be truly alive. 🌲

Tag someone you want to experience this magic with. Because some moments are too beautiful to keep to yourself. ✨

Oooof I can’t believe I have turned TWENTY-FIVE this year!!! Seems like a milestone and looking back I’m super super grateful at everything that has worked out till now! 

LOVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST❤️

Toh ab obviously thoda apne offbeat style mein celebrate karna toh banta hai na? Since I was in Oman and this beautiful country has so much to offer toh I decided to take up an adventure of hunting a deserted island and camping the night there! 

Now I know for many people this is the opposite of an amazing birthday plan but mere liye there’s nothing better hahahaha!! AND YES MISSION WAS A SUCCESS woohoo but even if it wasn’t, it would still be an AWESOME day cause I spent it doing what I love doing the most… chasing adventure and seeking discomfort!💯

Now this beautiful place where we found bioluminescent waters is Bandar Khayran. You can also do a night kayaking tour here to experience this. But if you’d rather avoid the thrill, the months of October to April is the best time to spot this sparkling sand✨ and you can find these at many beaches along the coastline of Muscat!!

This was definitely the best birthday for me and I hope this inspires you to go beyond your horizon too!!

Let me know in the comments below what’s an ideal birthday for you?

Aakansha Monga - 54K Likes - Vegetarians unite?🌿

[collab]

Use my code AM20 for an extra 20% OFF📈

So many of my vegetarian friends struggle with finding good veg food abroad. They often have to miss out on delicious food and stick to the plain and boring Maggi or McD. Honestly that’s such a rookie mistake to make. Food is intricately tied to culture. Missing out on local cuisine means missing a vital part of the culture.

After exploring 40 countries as a vegetarian, I’ve cracked the code to stress-free travel dining!😎

Using tools like the HappyCow app or Google to find vegetarian options is great, but dining out EVERYDAY isn’t feasible, especially for digital nomads. 

A healthier, budget-friendly option is to carry protein bars. Brands like @thewholetruthfoods offer preservative-free options that can be added to oats and just like that- my protein intake for the day levels up!  It’s got 13g of protein, no harmful chemicals and zero nasty preservatives, these are my ultimate travel companions. Perfect for:

👉 Those hangry moments between finding restaurants

👉 Long flight delays

👉 Quick breakfast on-the-go

As a digital nomad, it’s these small tweaks that make a LOT of difference. They help me stay healthy and save money! 🤑

⁠(T&C for AM20: Minimum Order-1000)

Ever since my first solo trip to Udaipur, I’ve wanted to travel the world and experience new cultures. 17 year old Aakanksha would be so proud of where I am today. 

Following my dream of travelling the world as a woman was never easy. I had to gather the courage to convince my parents, move out and take that leap. I had to leave my stable, well paying job to travel the world - which is a beautiful yet risky adventure. But today I can say that it was worth the risk! 

Following your dream is never easy - it tests your limits as a person. It will make you experience the extremities - both good and bad ones. But that’s what makes the journey enjoyable and makes our hearts dance with happiness and fulfillment ♥️

The world would have been a different place if we all followed our true dreams. Some of us genuinely don’t get the chance to do so and some of us forget our own potential. 

It’s definitely hard to follow you dreams but it’s worth it. The entire process of writing your own story will make you feel alive! 

Now tell me in the comments, what’s your dream and what are you doing to achieve it?

Aakansha Monga - 49.5K Likes - Why do you workout?

I’ve been hitting the gym regularly for 6 months now and I am shocked to see how greatly it has impacted my life! Like ofcourse, I knew working out helps but it helps sooo much?!? Shocked. 

Better sleep, better performance, better mood and better life quality - these are the benefits I’ve observed in the long run. 

My motivation to work out every day - isn’t a perfect physique; I’m here for the long-term gains: strength, vitality, and a positive mindset. If your only goal is looks, it’s tough to stay committed in the long run. But when you’re in it for a healthier, happier life, every workout becomes a step towards a better you. 

I try to hit the gym every morning and yet, somedays just suck - at such times I try to make it a bit extra fun. I mix it up with friends, turning a workout into a social thing, or rewarding myself afterwards. 

The key to working out is making it FUN! Dont like to run? Then don’t! 

The key is consistency and finding what works for you. Dance, Swim or play tennis - you do you! 
So, if you’re thinking about hitting the gym or starting a workout routine, think beyond the body. Think about the strength you’ll gain, the stress you’ll release, and the happiness you’ll feel.

Aakansha Monga - 48K Likes - What are you naturally good at? 

So many of us follow the paths that are assigned to us by society - by our parents,teachers and elders. There’s nothing wrong in doing so, but it rarely leads to true happiness. The real fun begins when we find and embrace our own natural talents. 
It’s a bummer that our education system tends to favor certain skills over others. But guess what? We can still figure things out on our own. 

👉Finding your ikigai is a Japanese concept, which combines what you love, what you’re good at, and what the world needs. Finding your ikigai can be a game changer. 
But,how do you find it? Start by journaling. Get into prompts that make you think about what you enjoy and what you’re good at. Spend some solo time, try out new things, and just be aware of what makes you tick. Sometimes, even doing nothing can spark a big idea. 
For example, I graduated with a business degree and  realized numbers and logic weren’t my thing. Instead, I love playing with words, being Vulnerable and making such videos. 
You can’t be great  without really loving what you do. To be honest, You’ve got to be obsessed with it. FIND what you love, get OBSESSED and GO ALL IN!

Aakansha Monga - 45.6K Likes - It’s actually 2 months with this 1 bag 💪🏼😛

I’m all set and ready for my next trip and I have managed to fit all the outfits, shoes, toiletries, swimwear and even snacks into JUST ONE carry-on bag!!
 It’s all about the art of packing light with a touch of strategy, here’s how-

👉Roll, don’t fold - Just roll your clothes to minimize wrinkles and save space
👉I’m going to a tropical destination so my clothes aren’t heavy, but even for cold places opt for good thermal inners and warmees instead of bulky jackets
👉Opt for versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched effortlessly! 
👉Pro Tip: Invest in packing cubes to keep things organized & maximize space
👉 Ultra Pro tip: Pray for the zipper mercy!!🤣

Unfortunately the 50L rucksack I use is from Decathalon and they have discontinued this one. But any 50L rucksack would work for this. I personally recommend-
🎒Trawoc TRAWOC 50L Weather Resistent Travel Bag OR
🎒Osprey Farpoint 40 Travel Pack

Don’t forget that minimalism is way to go so prioritize essentials and the best souvenirs are the memories you make along the way❤️

Now if you’re ready to say goodbye to those big and heavy suitcases, tell me your favourite packing hacks in the comments below!

2 years ago I turned into an imperfect vegetarian, mainly due to the impact meat had on my digestive system and then subsequently also learnt about the climate impact the meat industry has. I say imperfect because being a meat eater all my life, I slip up here and there - but mostly never while i’m traveling! It’s mostly the home cooked dishes that get me some time. But this veggie journey has been of finding satisfying meat-free meals abroad has been a rewarding yet sometimes challenging journey. It’s through my own experiences that I’ve discovered the Best Vegetarian Destinations, that’ll make your stomach do the happy dance 🕺 

Before you pack your bags, here are a few tips to make your veggie travel even smoother:

👉Research Ahead: scope out veg-friendly spots and local markets in advance so that you can be relaxed on your trip.

👉Learn Local Lingo: Master a few key phrases to communicate your dietary needs.

👉Check Restaurant Reviews: Use apps like HappyCow or TripAdvisor to scout out the best vegetarian and vegan restaurants. 

👉Be Clear About Your Dietary Needs: Don’t hesitate to communicate clearly about your vegetarian diet. Politely ask about ingredients and request modifications if necessary.

👉Stay Flexible: Embrace local specialties and be open to trying new flavors!
