wanderlust

Proposed in 1983 and launched in 2010, this 8.8 km tunnel is deemed the country’s longest. With only four metres left to be excavated in the middle of the tunnel, starting from Dhundi in Kullu district and ending at Gufa Hotel, near Sissu, in Lahaul-Spiti district, the tunnel is ‘almost on the brink of completion’ after a delay of over three years.

Today, countless Indian women are not merely dreaming of epic trips. They are out there, climbing mountains, running marathons, and more.

Travelling is a dream for many misty-eyed Indians who swear by wanderlust and the ache to explore, to see new places. It is, however, an expensive affair.
