Inspiring, thanks for sharing your experience!

One of the best travel-blogs I have read and I am saying this with consideration. Thank you for noting, writing and then sharing.

I have traveled a bit myself, and I know what joy fills a traveler in, when s/he is at a place that connects the world to the person's inner self. Such moments are entirely yours: very difficult to share.Your picture, touching the river's water, stands out of all fantastic pictures, for me.

I hope to visit Mongolia some day, before I leave this earth.

One request: which tool/language/kit are you using for writing your blogs? Would you mind sharing?

One random info: the symbol of Swastika has real significance in India, in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika). Not only in temples and other places of religious practices, the symbol is quite common even on the outer and inner walls of regular homes, across the subcontinent.

Thank you for kind words @nsengupta! I'm happy to hear that my experience resonates with other travellers, I think it's very special!

Do you think a blog post about how I set up my blog would be helpful? I am considering to have a guide / write up about it.

In a nutshell, it is a combination of:

• https://www.getzola.org/
• https://github.com/getzola/after-dark
• https://utteranc.es/
• https://applause-button.com/
• GitHub Actions
• Some custom CSS & styling

And hosted statically on GitHub Pages.

That's good to know! Thanks for sharing.

And, thank you for your impassioned evangelism of and continued contribution to #ratatui. :-)

As for the details of setting up, your blog, that will be very useful. But, in your own time.

I have hosted my blogs on other sites - starting with blogger - but I am seriously considering hosting it at domain of my own. I am not good at HTML, CSS, Javascript etc. So, I am looking for a toolset to help me build static page website using markdown, with facility for readers to come and leave comments/suggestions. The look-and-feel of your site, is very similar to what I have in mind.

So, yes, I will be interested.
