Recently, something amazing yet horrifying happened in the Philippines: Philippines Underwater Town Emerges from Water. 

As shocking as that sounds, the remains of a town are almost 300 years old. According to reports, it happened due to a sudden increase in the temperature, resulting in the drying up of a major dam.

If sources are to be believed, in the Philippines, there was a town named Pantabagan that was immersed in the water, and the population was relocated in the 1970s so that a large source of water supply could be built there. 

Due to extremely hot temperatures, the water has dried up and because of that, the Philippines Underwater Town Emerges from Water, and stunnes everyone around. This recent event happened when almost half of the Philippines faced a lack of requirements, while temperatures were climbing in different parts. 

Pantabagan Dam was built in 1977 and since then the city has been under water. Although the town used to be visible during summer months in the country, this is the longest period the town has remained visible since the dam’s construction.

Recent reports have highlighted a significant decrease in dam levels across various regions, including Pantabangan, where water levels have dipped nearly 50 meters from their usual mark of 221 meters. 

Tragic heatwaves in the Philippines have caused various changes in daily life, like schools closing and office workers being told to work from home. Weather Bureau PAGASA also stated that the temperatures might increase even more soon. They think this is because of climate change, which is making the Philippines even more hot.

Not only the Philippines, but also a few other countries like Thailand, Bangladesh, and Myanmar, have reported huge hikes in the temperature with some regions surpassing the temperature of 45°C.

I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good.

Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
