What would life be, if we were on the move constantly? Unplugged from the devices, modern nomads exploring the nook and crannies! These travel moments tell us.

Before you pack that rucksack or make some expeditor-y arrangements take a look at these travel moments, captured one picture at a time! From various corners of this globe all mustered in the gleaming folds of Instagram.

We looked up some globe trotters and followed their footsteps to some of the most picturesque, calming, and serene spots. All frames, captured at the right time, focussed on the right moment with just the right amount of colours.

These travel moments are glimpses of life beyond city walls leading to trips that you and I will soon be taking.

Goa – A starry night

She was a nobody. She was rejected. She was a damsel in distress and she aimed for the stars. And she met a moron, a moron who was a hero to her. A moron who told her how beautiful she was. And then one day when all the stars came out to see her, the combined luminosity of the trillion stars could match the glow she spread for she is the brigtest star the world has ever seen and sometimes even a helpful charcoal is enough to dust of a bright diamond….

Bikaner – Shadows that narrate a tale

This year I made a promise that I would take care of myself. I would slow down and withdraw gently and live in a little cocoon, surrounded by hope and warmth. I will learn to let go a little more, and love myself a little more. It's not just a new year resolution but a gift to myself. Letting time escape in Narendra Bhavan. PIC Courtesy @travelure

Madurai – Stories, history, and more

That time when I was inadvertently smitten by a temple! . I'm not a religious or spiritual person so active temples hold little value to me if not offering historical and/or architectural enjoyment, which I'm very much fascinated with. So it was quite interesting to see how quickly I was captivated by Madurai's extremely famous Meenakshi Temple. I went there as an obligatory stop on our multi-day family trip through Tamilnadu but soon the long corridors, that lovely light and those gorgeous stone pillars holding up frescoed ceilings captured my imagination. Have been meaning to research more on Madurai Meenakshi temple's story but haven't gotten to it. . Tell me if you've got any interesting tidbit about the temple's history or architecture?

Jaipur – Slopes from History

I love the way she stares at the world, as if it's a fascinating dream made to be enjoyed at every moment. And then at the edge of this thought, she smiles. And I stare at that smile, as if it is a dream reflecting all the happiness out there and all I want to do is drown in blissfulness of it all. So I watch her dream, I watch her grow, I watch her transform at every single moment as if a part of universe is busy exploring itself in its entirely where colours burst into a million more at every moment, and through those colours I watch her stare back at me. Forever in love, with herself, and here I am, forever in love, with her. And then we find ourselves at places we have been before but never together, and so when we walk those cobbled paths together, they feel complete, the sky feels clearer than before, and the sun seems to shine a little longer on those days. And I find myself listening to everything she doesn't choose to say, and I find myself smiling at all the jokes she is yet to crack, and there we find ourselves dancing at the absurdity of it all, because we somehow find sanity in the sounds that never existed for others. While singing the songs we had forgotten long ago, only to remember in time for each other's arrival. . . . . . . . . . . #jaipur #instajaipur #lonelyplanetindia #lonelyplanet #natgeotravel #jaipurlove #ig_jaipur #architecture #architexture #architecturelover #natgeo #cntraveler #instagood #ifoundawesome #expofilm3k #awakethesoul #livefolk #nikonusa #nikonasia #liveauthentic

Sarmoli – Glory of mountains

Let the new year be an excuse to try new things, meet new people, experiment with new ways of life, indulge in new cuisines and try a new (kinder) version of you ? . . I’m going for something special tomorrow – a session to chat with Thai Buddhist monks, where I can ask them all kinds of questions. Is there anything thought-provoking I should ask them on your behalf? Leave your questions in the comments?? . . Photo —> Throwback to Sarmoli, one of my fav places in India ? Follow @voicesofmunsiari to fall more in love with these mountains! . . #theshootingstar #newyear2018 #whpresolutions #incredibleindia #uttarakhand
