Hello everyone! This is @ybanezkim26, and I'll be presenting today's edition of #TravelDigest. Our featured posts include a geothermal area in Reykjahlid, Iceland, a village in West Bengal, India, and some fishing villages in Scotland. Enjoy!
The Hverir geothermal area lies along Mt. Námafjall. This is barren terrain with high temperatures and big fumaroles. When you take a walk along the paths, the whole area is boiling, bubbling, and hissing.

Gurdum village comes under Shingalila National Park and the total population of this village is only 40 people. This village plays an important role in Sandaphu trek. Almost all the trekkers stopping here while going to Sandaphu and coming down from the top. There is a very small and beautiful home stay here named “Mingma Home Stay”. I have probably visited Gurdum village more than 10 times. To reach here from Rimbik village, we have to cover 6 km road and 4 km climb.

The villages are an hours drive from Edinburgh, so it wasnt that far for us. They are about 5 miles away from each other so its easy to visit both in the same day, and both are quite popular tourist destinations. I would say that Pittenweem is more quaint and prettier than Anstruther but ironically Anstruther was mobbed with tourists, whereas Pittenweem was deserted !
