Exploring The World, One Place At A Time
A wise man once said, “India is too vast to be covered in a lifetime”. Being born in this country is no less than a blessing, and truly, exploring the nooks and corners of this diverse land is a privilege. I started traveling at a very early age, thanks to my parents who were equally enthusiastic about seeing new places. Later, after I graduated, I decided to travel by myself (and often with friends) – and slowly, discovered my passion for writing as well. Over the years, I traveled from Ladakh in the North to Varkala in the South, from Kutch in the West to Kohima in the East – and it just enriched me as a person.
I made some amazing friends on the way, explore with them extensively. I fell in love with places and people, but more with myself. Here are my stories of exploring India – and I hope they’ll help you in your journeys too.
