Hola!

Thank you for stopping by! I am Varsha Jayaraj from the Silicon City of India, Bengaluru. My goal is to travel the world while inspiring and helping others to do the same. Although I enjoy trips with family and friends, recently I discovered that traveling solo is an extraordinary experience in itself. So here I am, hoping to help you ROCK your travel in case you intend to take on this magical journey, all SOLO! Cheers!

I really don't know what to say. The last one week has been pleasantly overwhelming, a bit stressful, and implicitly joyful. .

My Bodoland video 'The REAL Bodoland (What MEDIA won't show you)' went viral on Facebook. And I had no clue about it until I woke up 26th morning to Facebook notifications on my email. With 98K views as of today and 2.2K shares on Facebook alone, and simultaneously exploding traffic on my YouTube channel with my subscriber count increasing from 563 to 3063 in one week, I must say that I am deeply and immensely THANKFUL and GRATEFUL to each one of you who liked and shared my video, and subscribed to my channel.
.

To be precise, I have received tons of love and support from the Bodo people and some of their comments have left me emotional. When I had been to Bodoland as a part of the @bodoland.ambassadors program, I was completely smitten by the Boro culture - their beliefs, practices, food, dance, and their hospitality. And when I came back home, I spent almost two weeks, 7- 8 hours a day, to create one video that can do justice to their already wonderful culture and showcase what 'The REAL Bodoland' is, to the rest of the world. .

You might be wondering why I'm focusing on the world 'REAL' to describe this video. Well, you need to watch my video for that just, so you get that connection. I have added the link in my bio. Do watch it not just because I made it, but because you will learn something new about a culture you never knew. .

Thanks once again for all the love and support <3 I really make every video thoughtfully and with a purpose - either to inspire, educate, or inform you about all the wonderful places and all the unexplored cultures of this world. Your support will help me grow and create more free, raw, and inspiring travel content. So please do support me if you like my work. Even 1 share/1 like/1 subscribe matters :) Thanks once again.
.

And with lots of love,
Varsha & RockandSolo .

❤️ WILDLIFE ❤️ There's nothing like spotting animals in their natural, wild habitats! I mean can it get any RAWer?

We spotted several animals and birds at the Manas National Park on our 6-hour open jeep safari ride. Amidst a lot of hushed laughter, knowledge sharing, contemplation, and nature immersion, we spotted Rhinos, Elephants, Peacocks, Serpent Eagles and several other wonders of the wild that we don't usually get to see elsewhere.
It was the most well-spent, WORTHY, and ecstatic 6-hours journey of my life in the WILD. .

PC: Thanks to my talented friend @jimmykamballur for these pictures. Guys, he clicked these pictures. He's an amazing photographer. Go follow him.

This is one of my favorite pics from our trip to Bodoland! I mean who wouldn't be excited? This was my first ever open-jeep safari in a National Park! Eeeee!

It was clicked just before we headed out for a 6 hour safari in Manas National Park. And what did we spot? Well, you gotta wait to find that out ;) PC: @nivedithg

Al Dar Islands is a small group of resort islands in Bahrain and is the perfect destination for beach lovers and water babies. My visit to Al Dar Islands was unplanned and spontaneous but my experience there turned out to be the most memorable one.

Here are my top TIPS for your visit to Al Dar Islands:
1. Carry your passport. You need to show your passport at the ticket counter to obtain your entry ticket to the island.
2. Pack your favorite swimsuit! Yes, Bahrain has no restrictions for tourists on what to wear in beaches.
3. If you are traveling solo, rent a cushion for 1 BHD to use on the beach chair (Beach chairs are free to use but ofc, you don't want to burn your bum!). 4. Pack your own food and set up a small picnic for yourself! You can order food and drinks from their in-house restaurant and bar but if you're vegan or vegetarian, your choices might be limited.
5. Ditch your phone and enjoy the speedboat ride to the island. It is truly the best part about the trip.
If you want to know more about getting to the island, the ticket prices, and the chalet options, check out my blog post at https://www.rockandsolo.com/al-dar-islands-bahrain/
