🥇 Offbeat treks in Agora, Uttarkashi, Uttarakhand, India by @travelingcocoon
I am a travel enthusiast and a solo traveler. I love to explore new places which are secluded from the regular hustle of life. This time I found Agora, a special place away from the hustle bustle of a popular town Uttarkashi in Uttarakhand. I planned my travel in month of April, 22 from Gurgaon (Haryana) nearly 454km. I took an evening volvo from Gurgaon bus stand to ISBT Dehradun which reached there around 4 am. From ISBT Dehradun I reached Dehradun hill bus stop, it took me around 15-20 mins to reach there. All remote hill station buses are available from Dehradun hill bus stop such as Uttarkashi, Nagchullakhal, Ukhimath. I took the first bus to Uttarkashi at 5:30 am from Dehradun hill (online reservation possible). And reached Uttarkashi ISBT at 12 pm. From Uttarkashi, ISBT I reached the local taxi stand to get a shared taxi to village Agora. It was INR 100 per person. It was one of the perks of being a solo traveler and travelling like locals. The best part of such experiences is to exchange stories with locals and get to see that place from their point of view. It took me around one hour and 30 mins to reach Agora, it’s an off-road journey with spectacular views.

🥈 The Old Willem Prinsloo House, Pretoria, South Africa by @fermentedphil
Nothing lasts forever. Not even our most cherished memories. But sometimes we can try to capture a moment in time like a memory photograph. In this post, I will take you on a virtual memory trip of a time capsule of sorts of an old South African farmhouse just outside of Pretoria. I will also show you what you can do on the farm and how we enjoy a lovely day outside.

🥉 Between the white stone, tasty cheese and crystalline sea, The Island of Pag, Croatia by @miljo76
The island of Pag has become our summer destination for the last few years. Before we were used to changing our vacation destination every year, but with Pag all changed. I guess we fell in love with this island and for 5 years already we have to spend there at least a part of our summer vacation. Pag is one of the biggest Croatian islands, lying in the northern part of the Dalmatian coast. It has a surface of 284 km2 and on the southern part is connected with the main land with a bridge (while on the northern side, there are regular ferry lines from the mainland). Without any doubt the landscape of the island is unique. The island is often called the “rocky island” since a big part of it is covered with stones and resembles a stone desert. Only a smaller part is covered with Mediterranean macchia and rare trees.
