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.

To put it in the words of Jane Wilson-Howarth, “The mountains were so wild and so stark and so very beautiful that I wanted to cry. I breathed in another wonderful moment to keep safe in my heart.” Our first journey to Spiti Valley was …
Surrounded by the majestic mountains on all sides, a road leading until here and then ending at this village, a glacial river flowing down and clouds floating around, with the sun rising in the backdrop; yes, that is Chitkul for you! It might seem like …
It’s just about a couple of days that we came down to the plains and not yet fully ready to embrace the city life. We are still drooling over the white-washed world where we spend the last week, gasping for breath as we walked through …
