There are few places left on earth with no internet access. One of those is in India, but not on the continent: The Anadaman and Nicobar islands are a cluster of 500+ small islands closer to Thailand and Indonesia than from mainland India.

Only way to reach the area was flying, and of course I...

I was finally able to find good skiing gear to enjoy Himalayan slopes when another problem joined the crew: snow leak. Indeed, because of sunny weather, which doesn't means warm weather at all, most of snow around Manali disappeared, making my initial idea of skiing falling into Himalayan rivers of melted snow.
