It took 10 years for Snehal Dudekula to reach Spiti. And this is his story!👇 Snehal, from Hyderabad, had his eyes set on Spiti for over a decade, and his story of finally reaching this magical place with ZoTrips is nothing short of inspiring!🤩 Reflecting on how it all began, Snehal says, “𝐓𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐠𝐨, 𝐈 𝐬𝐚𝐰 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐩𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝’𝐬 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞—𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲. I googled everything about Spiti, and over the years, it became something so special to me, beyond just its beauty. Chandratal Lake, especially, stood out like a dream—this sacred lake, under the stars, tucked between mountains filled with stories. I even planned my outfit to match the landscape! I imagined myself by the lake, gazing at the Milky Way, and hoped to capture that moment one day.”🌌 His journey wasn’t without challenges. “I tried reaching Spiti once before, but a landslide blocked the way. This year, I finally made it with Zostel, and it was even more incredible than anything I’d imagined. The people I met and the places I explored made it all worth the wait!” When asked what motivated his to travel solo, Snehal shares, “I always wanted to travel with friends, but life took us all in different directions. 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧, 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐢 𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧. Then, I found an old note from eight years ago when I started planning this trip, and I knew I couldn’t wait any longer. I even wrote a letter to my friends from Hikkim, the world’s highest post office, telling them I missed them there. That moment brought me so much joy, even though I was solo.”❤️ Her fondest memory? “The feeling of finally reaching a place I’d been dreaming of for years is irreplaceable. 𝐄𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐬 𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭—𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞.” For those considering a trip, Snehal has one big recommendation: Zostel! “From the amazing stays to the thoughtfully curated itineraries, they make sure every part of your journey is unforgettable. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭, 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞-𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐠𝐨 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫. Even if it’s pricier than other options, I’d still choose Zostel for the experiences they offer.” Snehal’s story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the best adventures are the ones we wait for—and with ZoTrips, those dreams can become reality!🤗 #Zostel #ZoTrips #Spiti #SoloTravel #JourneyOfADream
