Day 1 > Ho Chi Minh City
Landed, dropped bags, dove straight into the city. Street food, Ben Thanh market, Bui Vien Walking Street at night. HCMC hit different after dark.

Day 2 > Phu Quoc Island
Flew to Phu Quoc, checked into the a nice resort.

First night: fire show on the beach

• Rented a bike, did the whole island

Next day:

• 4 Island Tour: speedboat, Snorkeling, scuba and Glamping

Day 4 and 5 > Hanoi
Flew north:

• Ha Long Bay cruise : limestone cave, emerald water, kayaking and cruise party at night
• Ninh Binh day: cycling through rice paddies, then hiked up Lying Dragon Mountain (Ngoa Long) in Tam Coc 500 steps to the stone dragon watching over the valley, aka the "Great Wall of Vietnam"
• Hanoi Old Quarter at night : Hoan Kiem Lake, street food, bia hoi corner

Day 6 Back to HCMC
Flew south, Went straight to:

• Cu Chi Tunnels : crawled through Viet Cong tunnels
• Fired a LMG machine gun and AK47

Next time: Da Nang + Phu Quoc round 2
Missed Da Nang this trip but it's locked in for the next one. Ba Na Hills, Marble Mountains, My Khe Beach. And back to Phu Quoc because once wasn't enough.

Total it costed me around: ~1,20,000 INR (It can be cheaper if you plan ahead I did all the bookings and stuff like 4 days before leaving)

Honestly didn't expect it to look like this. The sky went from pitch black to this in about 20 minutes. Worth every steep climb.

If you haven't done Triund, put it on the list. The trail is well-marked, super doable alone, and the campsite crowd is friendly if you want company later.

Quick info:

- Trek: Triund, Himachal Pradesh

- Start point: McLeod Ganj / Dharamkot

- Distance: ~9 km one way

- Difficulty: Easy-moderate

Budget breakdown:

- I drove but you can get a bus from Delhi (Kashmiri Gate): ~₹1,200

- Hotel stay (2 nights, McLeod Ganj): ~₹3,000

- I carried my own gear but you can get a guide + camp + supplies: ₹4,000-5,000 (if you don't carry your own)

Wore this on a cruise, Sunny day, perfect fit and then I threw it all off and jumped into the Ocean. I feel like these shoes doesn't go well w the fit.

The Stawamus Chief in Squamish, BC is one of those hikes that sounds manageable on paper until you're actually on it.

The trail starts innocent enough, a forested path with some elevation gain. Then the granite shows up. Steep, unforgiving slabs with chains bolted into the rock to help you pull yourself up. Your hands and legs are both working the whole time. It's less of a hike and more of a full-body scramble once you get into the upper sections.

I made it to the summit in 1 hour flat. The descent took 14 minutes.

At the top, you're standing on one of the largest granite monoliths in the world, over 700 metres above Squamish. The view stretches across Howe Sound, the valley below, the mountains in every direction. It's the kind of view that makes you forget your legs are on fire.

A few things worth knowing if you're planning this:

• The chain sections are the real workout. Don't skip upper body day before this one.
• Wear shoes with grip. The granite gets slippery and there's no margin for error on the steeper sections.
• Go early. The parking lot fills up fast and the trail gets busy.
• There are three peaks. Most people do Peak 1. All three is a different beast entirely.

British Columbia just keeps delivering. This one's going straight to the top of my list.
