Canadian Rockies - Day 1 - Waking Up to the Magic of Canmore and the Rockies

After a late-night arrival at around 2 AM, we finally woke up to our first morning in the Canadian Rockies - and what a surprise it was! Since we had reached in the dark, we had no idea what surrounded us. When I stepped out onto the balcony, I was greeted by a breathtaking view - majestic mountains all around, their peaks kissed by the early morning light. It was one of those moments that instantly fills you with gratitude and excitement for the day ahead. We had masala tea, got ready, and decided to explore downtown Canmore. The streets were charming, lined with cozy cafés, boutiques, and local art shops - all against the stunning mountain backdrop. It felt like stepping into a postcard. For brunch, we stopped at an amazing Indian restaurant called Mumbai Local, and oh my goodness - the food was phenomenal! We ordered dahi puri, soya chaap, and triple schezwan fried rice, and everything was bursting with flavor. It felt like a comforting taste of home right in the middle of the Rocki...

Canadian Rockies - Day 2 - The Dream Day: Larch Valley Hike & Moraine Lake Magic

We started our second day in the Canadian Rockies with our little tradition — a steaming cup of masala tea. There’s nothing like that comforting aroma to kick off an adventurous morning. While sipping our tea, we had a great chat with our wonderful host, Jeremy -  a biker, traveler, and author of two books. He’s been around the world on his bike, and listening to his stories was truly inspiring. After breakfast, it was time for one of the most anticipated parts of our trip - the Larch Valley hike and visiting my dream destination, Moraine Lake! We grabbed some Subway sandwiches from Banff downtown to fuel up later on the trail and then headed toward Moraine Lake by shuttle. We started the hike around 12:30 PM, and wow — it was steep and challenging right from the beginning. But every step upward brought more breathtaking views of Moraine Lake below. The turquoise water kept peeking through the trees as we climbed higher and higher. As we gained elevation, the larches turned gold...

Canadian Rockies - Day 3 - Northern Lights, Yoho Magic & The Icefields Parkway

Day 3 started long before sunrise — actually, in the middle of the night! Around 1:30 AM, I got a critical alert on my phone: “Auroras are visible.” I rushed to the balcony and, to my surprise, the northern lights were dancing right there in the sky. I immediately woke up Shri, and we decided to drive out of town for a clearer view. Even though there was some light around the river bridge, it was still mesmerizing. We drove about ten minutes further to a dark, open spot near a lake — and that’s where the magic truly unfolded. Under a blanket of stars, surrounded by mountains, the aurora borealis shimmered in waves of green and purple. It was unreal. This was our third time witnessing the northern lights — first in Finland, then in the U.S., and now in Canada — but it still felt just as special. We finally went back to sleep around 3 AM, hearts full of awe. A few hours later, after our traditional morning masala tea, it was time to check out from Canmore and begin the journey toward our...
