Well Divar Islands has been a delight and my experience host, Ameez, equally so- tales, old and very old; birds; sluice gates; temples; chapels; architecture and solitude.
The only regret- missed out on a home cooked meal due to the Pandemic but definitely doing that the next tone around which shall be soon 😊
In fact the experience was so exhilarating that it made me wistfully look forward to my next trip and the next perfectly curated experience.
