Monday Musings: Moonscapes of Cappadocia

The only city in Turkey that Ankur and I have explored is Istanbul, which is my favourite city in the whole wide world! Today’s picture is contributed by a fellow engineer, traveller, blogger and photographer! This picture makes us wonder whether it is time to plan another trip to Turkey – if not for anything else, the the wondrous views and off course, the Turkish Delight!

Moonscapes of Cappadocia

Cappadocia

Cappadocia in Turkey is a different world. Evocative landscapes, steeped in history define it. I had my first ballooning experience in Cappadocia, people says it’s one of the best paces in the world to do ballooning. Driving through the landscape gives you a good glimpse of the area, but it’s with ballooning that you realize the magnitude of the unearthly landscape. Apart from this, in Cappadocia, you get to see remnants of the old silk route, you get to eat good Turkish food and there’s tremendous scope for hiking. It is a world so different from our usual hum drum – a great inspiration to travel.
