While googling for the word ‘planetmnm’ I just found out another version of our travel video from 2015.

2 Days in McLeodganj, Dharamshala, India
It was cold and dewy when I arrived in McLeod Ganj at 9 am on 14 March 2019. I was wearing just two t-shirts pretty much all that I was carrying with me. Coming from 28-degree celsius heat to 8-degree celsius cold unprepared. Mistakenly, I kept checking the weather for lower Dharamshala which was reasonably good while my stay was planned for Upper Dharamshala (McLeodganj) which was way too cold. First thing I needed to do was go shopping for some authentic and traditional Tibetan warm woollen gear.
MnM Go Bungy Jumping at Nevis, New Zealand
New Zealand is popular for adventure activities and so we, Monty and Molly decided to keep the Bungy Jumping experience for New Zealand. While on our RTW-2 through Queenstown NZ, we decided to go for Nevis Bungy Jump. Why? Because it is the highest Bungy Jump in NZ with a 143-meter drop lasting 8.5 seconds of free fall. And trust me it was worth it.
Around the world in under £1000
Our Round The World (RTW) -2 trip came about after surfing the net on Skyscanner. With my approved annual leave and work trip scheduled for San Francisco, I spent some quality time figuring out the best travel itinerary to explore the globe once more.
Planning the New Zealand Itinerary
We MnM travelled across New Zealand in December 2018 for 19 days across the length of the country, covering 4000 km in a rented Toyota Corolla. In my previous article I shared how/why we decided on visiting New Zealand, and how can you too buy RTW (round the world) flight tickets for under £1000. Here I focus on in-country travel.
Monty’s 10 km run in 10 countries/locations
I have been quite active on Strava for the last 2 years, paying Strava’s premium membership to get all the in-depth stats for all activities I do. I found a way of keeping fit whilst traveling by going for a ‘touristic’ run to explore in every new city or Country I travel to. I have promised myself that I would complete either 5km or 10km run for every visit and I have made this a priority.
Europe: Santorini Trip (Drone Shots and amazing Pics)
We made a trip to Santorini in the Summer of 2018. I had a great time and so did Molly. I carried my DJI Mavic Air drone manage to get some good drove coverage too.
London Colours after Sunset on a Summer Evening
I saw beautiful colours in the sky, took out my drone and captured the sky.
Iceland: Land of Ice & Northern Lights (Dec 2016)
Here is a good collection of few pictures of our beautiful Iceland trip in December 2016
Ladhak Road Trip – Official Video
An amazing road trip on motorbikes in the Himalayas, in a region known as Ladhak (part of the Tibetan plateau which resides in India). At an average height of 14000 feet, altitude is a bitch , roads mostly don’t exist but the landscape is arid and beautiful, sky can’t be more blue and high altitude lakes are simply mesmerising.
