What prompted you to go on your first journey?

Thanks to an army background and hostel life, I have been traveling since I was a kid. But one trip that changed my outlook on solo travel was my trip to Europe in 2012. I was a bundle of nerves when I went on that trip, but since then, there has been no looking back.

What’s your favourite travel destination?

Japan. I loved it for the unique mix of culture and modernity it offers. I visited it during the autumn season when the whole country was ablaze with autumn foliage.

What’s that one travel gadget you always keep in your backpack?

Camera either in the form of a mobile phone or a DSLR/GoPro.

Do you have a favorite travel book or a travel movie?

Into the Wild for presenting the true essence of travel and finding oneself while travelling to unknown territories.

A piece of advice for all the wanderlust-ERS out there?

Travel is like an addiction and you can never have enough of it. With every travel, you grow as an individual. My only advice would be to travel with an explorer’s open mind and be adaptable. The humbler and grounded you become, the more love you get in return. Also, travel for the love of travel not just for the GRAM.

A travel quote that always inspires you to travel.

Happiness is only real when shared.

3. Seema Gurnani

When talking about top travel and food bloggers, Seema Gurnani is the first name that pops up in the minds of individuals. Starting her journey of ‘Panda Reviewz’ in Vijayawada, this award-winning 24-year-old star quit her comfortable job and started to take the road of thrill and excitement. A zeal for exploring the nooks and new tastes is what keeps this young entrepreneur going!

My first, and the most memorable journey till date, was my first solo escape trip to Goa when I had just turned 16. The curiosity and passion to explore new destinations, cultures, and most importantly – the food. This resulted in a lifetime memorable trip.

Your favourite travel destination

Goa and Auroville remain my personal favourites among all the places I have visited in India. In abroad, Melaka (Malaysia) takes the crown. For yet-to-visit destinations, backpacking through Europe remains at the top of my wish list.

One travel gadget you always keep in your backpack

I’m Dora and my smartphone is the arsenal of my exploring tools. From local maps to translating languages, to capturing beautiful memories, to get all the updated information; Everything is possible because of this trustworthy companion.

Your favourite travel book/movie of all time

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Queen, Eat Pray Love

A piece of advice for all the wanderlust-ERS out there

Don’t wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect by getting to where you wish to be. If your heart is set to travel, just pack up your bags, head out, and explore what all this planet has to give you that will make the moments and memories of your life.

A travel quote that always inspires you to travel

Travelling is brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comforts of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things. -air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.

4. Ajay Sood

A travel photographer by profession and passion, Ajay Sood is one of the top Indian travel bloggers of India. His Instagram feed is an array of incredible landscapes, people, streets, and architecture. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he has covered most of the continents during his travel.

I was 9 years old and my parents had to visit my grandparents’ place in Phagwara, which is a town 35km from my hometown, Ludhiana. My grandma was a brilliant cook. So, visiting her was always a treat. I insisted I’ll also come to Phagwara after school gets over. So, I travelled alone as a 9-year old. And, ever since, got hooked on travel.

That destination had remained on my bucket list for decades. It was only in late November 2017, when I finally visited Iceland. The place has all the magic I had expected. It has some of the largest glaciers in Europe you can snowmobile for miles on, craziest eerie ice caves that you can sing in, sprawling natural Jacuzzis (thermal baths) for sipping a chilled beer in arctic winters, Northern lights that remind you of a discotheque, caves filled with centuries-old lava, stunning landscape you can’t get enough of, gigantic waterfalls that inspire awe, and… and a large number of ‘Game of Thrones’ locations.

My iPhone with scores of apps that range from Translate Voice Pro (my go-to app in countries where very few can communicate in English), The Photographer’s Ephemeris (it tells me the sunrise/sunset time and direction of the sun at any spot I plan to shoot in), Night Sky (helps me find the Pole Star during my Astro-photography night outs), and many more.

Do you have a favourite travel book or a travel movie?

My favourite movie is ‘Into the wild’. The biographical story of Christopher from ‘Alexander Supertramp’ to ‘The Magic Bus’ is a story of someone who is a true explorer at heart. My favourite book is ‘Atlas Obscura’. As the foreword of the book mentions it, this book is not for travellers, but for explorers.

Here’s a money-saving travel hack. When abroad, don’t exchange currency. Use ATM. You’ll save around 8%. A travel quote that always inspires you to travel. Leave behind only footsteps. Bring back only memories.

5. Shivya Nath

A prominent name in the travel industry, Shivya needs no introduction. At the age of 23, she quit her comfortable and high-paying corporate job to travel the world. This solo female traveller has packed her life into a backpack and now inspiring people around the world to do what they love. She has travelled in parts of Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, the Caucasus region and the Indian subcontinent.

How does Shivya like to travel?

Shivya is an offbeat traveller who loves to explore the lesser-explored parts of the world. She likes to go slow while travelling, go under the skin of a place, talk to the locals, and live her stay. She’s usually seen travelling solo in the lesser-known countries and cities of Europe.

Tips to save money for travel?

1. Don’t do unnecessary shopping and find free hobbies to keep you entertained and busy at weekends. 2. Avoid eating out in restaurants and cafes. You can easily save INR 500 to INR 1000 a day. 3. Shivya recommends working online. 4. Sell the things you don’t need. 5. Get rid of that credit card and save for small and budget trips.

6. Ami Bhat

A restless ball of energy, Ami is a wanderer for life and one of the top Indian travel bloggers. She’s a photography enthusiast and a travel blogger by passion. Ami is a total sucker for heritage destinations, turquoise beaches, and lofty mountains. 

Honestly, I don’t recall my first journey. It was just a natural progression of things. However, my earliest memories of my travel for leisure abroad was with my parents as I toured the Far East (Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines). It was our family holiday together and for some reason, though I was just 7, I remember it all.

I don’t have one, I have many and it keeps increasing. For now, Ladakh, Meghalaya, Bhutan, Gold Coast, and Udaipur.

My Camera. I just cannot travel without it.

My favourite movie I would say is Queen.

Travel not to tick off lists. Travel coz you want to enjoy what you see and experience.

Travelling is like Breathing.

7. Nivedith Gajapathy

In 2015, Nivedith Gajapathy quit his Digital Marketing job to explore the world. Other than being a traveller, Nivedith is an experienced collector, foodie, and tech-savvy guy. His blog offers insights into food, culture, and lifestyle of different communities around the world. Nivedith is among the most famous travel bloggers in India, and if you want some serious travel inspiration, you need to follow him on his journey.

I have been travelling with family all my life, but the trip that changed the way I travel was my solo trip to Malaysia, which actually made me realize that it is the journey that matters, not the destination and that’s when I started seriously documenting my experience on social media channels and blog as well.

My personal favourite has been Australia. Although I have just seen 0.1% of this beautiful country, I will be doing a solo 1-month-long trip to Australia again in the near future.

As a tech-freak, half of my baggage allowance goes into gadgets. When I travel, I primarily rely on my phone and DSLR.

My favorite travel movies are Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and EuroTrip.

A piece of advice for all the wanderlust-ERS out there .

Don’t Plan a trip, live it. I prefer doing impromptu trips and that’s where the journey counts.

Travel is the only thing that you buy, that makes you richer.

8. Umang Trivedi

One of the top travel bloggers of India, Umang Trivedi loves to explore the remote corners of the world. He’s an adventurer, mountain lover and an admirer of unspoiled nature. Umang has conquered mountain peaks like Rupin Pass and Stok Kangri.

For me, the discovery of beautiful landscapes and immersive experiences is very exhilarating. The urge to discover something new and unique, which is not possible in everyday life, prompted me to go on my first journey.

Bhutan would forever remain my favourite travel destination. In fact, I started writing about my travels after paying a visit to Bhutan . The surreal landscapes and friendly people with great hospitality left an everlasting impression on me.

I recently purchased a GoPro and since then, I have always made sure of keeping it. It’s very easy to handle and produces great results for both, photos and videos.

My favourite travel movie would be The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I love how he takes brave decisions in the breathtaking backdrop of Iceland and then continue to go on adventures that bring him closer to his purpose.

At least once, you should go somewhere unplanned. No bookings, no reservations, no itinerary. Just go and see where the road takes you. I used to plan my itineraries very intricately to not miss out on things. But, since I started travelling in an unplanned manner, I find my travels to be much more fulfilling.

“It’s not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” – Edmund Hilary.

9. Abhinav Singh

Abhinav has travelled to more than 200 destinations in past 10 years in India and abroad. He was fired from his corporate job of 7 years for travelling too much. After about of depression and anxiety he changed his situation to advantage and became a successful travel blogger within the 1st year of blogging.

My first independent solo trip was to Chennai, Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry in 2010. It was an emotional journey as I was revisiting the place to re-live the special memories I made there some years ago. I loved managing everything on my own. The financial power—thanks to my first job—gave me the ability to do things my way in a new place. The freedom and the new sensory stimulations excited and inspired me. Since then I am hooked.

I have been to more than 200 places in India in the last 10 years and also visited many countries. However, Mumbai remains my favourite place. Ever since I have left it, I go back at least once a year to visit Mumbai. Goa, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh are also close to my heart.

One travel gadget you always keep in your backpack.

I keep it really simple. I can not travel without my DSLR and cellphone. Yes, I am a digital slave.

Your favourite travel book/movie of all time.

My favourite travel books are Rediscovering Dharavi, Hot Tea Across India, To The Ends Of The World, Falling Off The Map, Into The Wild, Motorcycle Diaries.

My favourite travel movies are, Dhanak, Ye Jawani Hai Diwani, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Wild, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Into The Wild.

A piece of advice for all the wanderlust-ERS out there. Stay humble about travel. Do not conquer mountains, love and protect it instead. Do not be in a hurry to travel too much too soon. Enjoy travel at a slow place. And most importantly, be a responsible traveller. Please do not take a ride on elephants, horses or buy plastic mineral water bottles.

A travel quote that always inspires you to travel. India is the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for all the shows of all the rest of the globe combined. – Mark Twain

36 Most Famous Festivals Of India You Must Experience In 2022

10. Indrani Ghose

Indrani is no ordinary traveller. A fun and courageous wanderer, she’s an ex-Indian Air Force employee, who once dreamt of travelling around the globe. From Singapore to Portugal and Jaisalmer to Guwahati, she has travelled to over 21 countries and 250+ cities till now. She has done many road trips across Europe and Southeast Asia with her family. She is also known as one of the best travel bloggers in India . 

We as a family, place travel as a must-do thing during vacations. I think it is in the genes. My parents have taken us, siblings, out during vacations and now I travel with my family often. For us, travel is another kind of learning experience, something which is impossible to get in schools and colleges.

It is all the Unesco World Heritage sites. Our road trips in different countries have been planned along with the Unesco sites of that country. The last major road trip we did was through Spain and Portugal – 3155kms. We covered 23 sites on this trip alone.

I am not a big fan of tech gadgets but mobiles with google maps, a good camera and a good collection of music have been a constant companion on our road trips.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is my most favourite travel book now.

I am not sure if I am there yet to advise, but I would like to say, travel responsibly. Travellers today travel to the remotest part, popularise it and the next thing we know a horde of tourists marching to the newly discovered destination spoiling it in the process. Respect locals, their lifestyle and their privacy.

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” – Confucius

11. Swati & Sam

A software engineer duo, Swati and Sam are among the top Indian travel bloggers in the luxury travel segment. They have travelled to 16 international destinations and to many corners of Indian towns and cities. Now the pair are the go-to travel guides for travellers in and around the world.

It’s difficult to pick one. We love Bali, Maldives, Seychelles, Switzerland and Thailand.

Powerbank is what we need with us on our trips.

Under the Tuscan Sun, Lost in Translation, and Into the wild

Don’t overthink. If budget is a constraint, you can spend your weekends exploring nearby places.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Taiwan

12. Agniswar and Amrita

Two backpackers from Kolkata, Agniswar and Amrita love to explore and look for unconventional experiences and destinations. Amrita is adventurous while Agni always wanted to play safe. Together they’ve faced hailstorms of the Himalayas, did scuba diving 12 metres below sea level, froze during Chadar River trek and even got stuck at a riot in Jammu. They share their stories of adventure and fun on their awesome blog, which makes them one of the most influential Indian travel bloggers.

The travelling bug had bitten us long back. The first trip we took together was way back in 2011 in Goa. We wanted to see the crazy world and Goa seemed to be the best place. One trip followed another and finally on our Amarnath trip, we did find the travellers in us.

Your favourite travel destination.

Northeast India is our favourite destination. We love the rugged and unexplored terrains and the varied cultures and customs of the Northeast lure us the most.

Our Camera, smartphone, and power bank

Our favourite book is Journey to Lhasa – The Diary of a Spy by Sarat Chandra Das. We both love a movie called “The Way Back”.

Travel as if no one is watching you. Travel makes you admire the smaller beauties of life. Do not just tick off your list of things to do. Enjoy a place and experience the culture and cuisines of the place. Travelling is not just about numbers, it is about the experience.

“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before” – Dalai Lama

13. Prachi & Himadri Garg

Prachi & Himadri Garg are two sisters who have been exploring unexplored India for the last 8 years. Popularly known as Ghoomophirosisters, the two women are among the most famous travel bloggers in India. They have recently been awarded by MP Tourism as their best friend on Social Media in travel awards 2016 and by Gujarat Tourism Board for their services.

In Feb 2007, there was a forecast for a sub-zero temp in Delhi, this pushed us to pack our bags and plan a trip to Shimla. This was our first solo backpack trip as ghoomophirosisters where-in we planned an impromptu trip without any prep. Since then, there has been no looking back.

Our DSLR Nikon-750

Our favourite travel movie is Everest.

Don’t think about the perfect time. Just pack your bags and travel.

I took my first trip in 2011 to Rajasthan. This was the start and those feelings of liberation and seeking new destinations, culture and experiences triggered my travel journey. From that year onward, I started exploring more and more and gradually I fell in love with travelling.

Kasmir, India. It has everything a traveller wants. I am a mountain person and I wouldn’t deny that Kashmir is heaven on the earth .

My Mobile Phone and DSLR.

I don’t watch many movies but I love Dil Chahta Hai and Ye Jawani Hai Diwani. If we talk about books, Azadi Mera Brand by Anuradha Beniwal is my fav.

Don’t plan too much while you leave your home. Don’t live only by guidebooks. Engage with locals who can give you more recommendations about the destinations. Also, put some flexibility in your schedule and go with the flow.

15. Karthik Murali H

A data scientist by profession and a travel my heart, Karthik is among the top travel bloggers of India. His interesting blog talks about travel, lifestyle, and technology. Want some smart travel hacks? An Asian Traveller can be your go-to guide.

I’ve been travelling since my childhood, at least to a min of two destinations per year. Ever since it caught on as a passion and I have begun to explore more and more destinations each year thanks to the lower airfares, more direct flights, it just got a whole lot easier.

Nothing has fascinated me more than the beautiful city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Digital Camera. No mobile cameras can replace the 300 dpi quality of a digicam.

Plan your travel in a way it doesn’t affect your budget a lot. Find low flight fares during sales and book in advance. Don’t compromise on comfort and quality. Travel is not about seeing new places. It’s about being comfortable in your own space wherever you are. Never let go of that.

No amount of education or degrees can teach you the same.

9 Best Hotels In Nashik: Assuring Unmatched Comfort Under Budget

16. Archana & Vidur

This awesome travelling couple is an inspiration to many. While Vidur is responsible for clicking the most gorgeous pictures for TravelMyNation, Archana keeps their travel adventures. Their Instagram profile is where one should go for some real travel inspiration.

I think it was the urge to see what’s out there. Archana and I are both very fond of the outdoors, are curious about wildlife and generally love being on the road. That’s how we started and we haven’t looked back since then.

Your favourite travel destination Of the ones we visited, we love Arunachal Pradesh the most. And in our bucket list are Mongolia and New Zealand.

GoPro Action camera and iPhones

Why We Ride and Into The Wild

Everybody travels now but only a few engage in ecotourism/responsible tourism. Our advice to all the wanderlusts out there is to make sure that they leave very little carbon footprint wherever they go!

A travel quote that always inspires you to travel “I don’t want to know what time it is. I don’t want to know what day it is or where I am. None of that matters.”

Reshma’s itchy feet have made her a popular solo globetrotter. A writer and dream-chaser, she loves to take the roads less travelled on a shoestring budget. Laos, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Bhutan, Thailand, and Cambodia are some of the nations Reshma has ticked off the bucket list.

I had been travelling with friends and family for many years, which I thoroughly enjoyed. But at some point, I felt like planning a trip to travel by myself. So I went on a weekend trip alone, and I loved it absolutely. That trip led to many trips, and solo travel became a part of my life.

Your favourite travel destination .

I find this question really hard to answer every time. I can’t pick just one. So I would choose the Philippines and Bhutan.

It is not exactly a travel gadget, but I always carry my music player.

My favourite travel movie is Into the Wild. When it comes to books, I have many, but I think it is The Motorcycle Diaries.

Sometimes, it is okay to skip a ‘popular attraction’ for any reason, whether you lack time or interest or both. The FOMO while travelling can never be avoided no matter how much you try because the world is just too big and we are going to miss experiencing one thing or the other. So accept that it’s totally fine.

What’s your favourite travel destination?

Ladakh (going in June), till now – Triund, Bhrigu Lake, Jaisalmer

What’s that one travel gadget you always keep in your backpack?

I call my smartphone my best travel partner, so for its survival, I always carry a power bank.

Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Highway, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Travel is a beautiful feeling and a great teacher too. You learn a lot from the experiences you gather while travelling. So, just take a break from the mundane lifestyle of cities, plan a small or a long trip to any place of your choice. But, always remember to travel in a responsible manner. Never spoil the dignity of the place you are visiting to especially nature.

A travel quote that always inspires you to travel. “Looking for a sign? Travel, you won’t have this opportunity forever.”

19. Niranjan Das

A nomad, Niranjan has travelled throughout India and covered over 10 countries in Europe and Asia. He believes that life is a travelogue and we all are just nomads.

The inquisitiveness to explore unknown places, languages, cultures and roads were the reason behind my early travels. The reasons remain the same even now, every time I travel.

Cannot pick one, as I love quite a few. Gokarna, Spiti, Rishikesh and Florence heads the list.

More than gadgets, I make sure to carry guide books and maps of the places I travel to.

Motorcycle Diaries and Into the Wild are my favourites.

The world out there isn’t as bad as it is often portrayed. There are strangers who are friendly, there are untrodden roads that take you to gorgeous places and there are unexplored villages that would greet you warmly. Go out and explore every nook and corner of the world.

I wanted to get out of an expected Bangalore’s weekend rigmarole and explore a state that I hadn’t seen till then. It was the first time after college that I could travel independently, which was a big box to check.

That’s really difficult to answer, but I NEVER get bored of Varanasi.

Phone and battery pack.

If travelling is a significant part of your profession, keep an eye on your progress alongside enjoying wandering about. Build realistic financial and skill development goals. This will help to keep the momentum on for a long time to come.

I went on my first trip with my mom and dad, and all I can say is that I have only loved travelling ever since.

I love travelling within India. India is truly a wonderland for every traveller and I am no exception. Internationally, my favourite is Japan.

One of my favourite travel movies is Wild Chronicling Cheryl Strayed.

A storyteller and rambler, Elita truly believes in the redemptive power of narratives. One can follow her blog Nomadic Thunker to be a part of her travel journeys.

My first journey was a classic scenario. I had office leaves that would lapse if I didn’t utilize them and on the other hand, had friends who wouldn’t make up their minds about the dates we could lock-in. I didn’t want to have to sit at home and do nothing, so I took off for my first solo travel journey.

Arunachal Pradesh. There’s a calm vibe to it.

Not a travel gadget exactly, but I always keep my portable charger with me.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach (it’s not a typical ‘travel’ book but it’s amongst the most beautiful books on journeys of transformation – which is what I associate travel with)

A piece of advice for all the wanderlust-ERS out there.

Be receptive. Mute your prejudices. Search, find, examine and then retell your own stories about people, places, and culture. Because if you’re going to say what ‘everyone else’ is already saying, what are you contributing to?

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” – Mary Oliver

23. Sumit Sharma

Sumit is an online marketer by profession and a traveller by passion. His love for India and its rich culture and heritage is eternal, which has led him to cover more than 15 cities of the nation.

My wanderlust started back in August 2016, when my friends and I travelled to Udaipur & Mount Abu. Udaipur is a really adorable city that casts a magic spell with its fine art, rich culture, and sparkling lakes that mesmerise your senses. In the last 21 months, I have been to more than 15+ Indian cities.

So, my favourite travel destination in India will obviously be Kashmir. It is one of the amazing tourist destinations in India & the real paradise on earth. Travelling to Kashmir is in my bucket list.

There are some essentials that I will not travel without are pen, notebook, and mobile. But nowadays universal travel adapters & portable chargers are my go-to travel gadgets.

A travel blogging couple from India, Revati and Charles Victor are proving to travel seekers that you don’t need to quit your jobs to travel with one awesome vacation at a time. Their travel blog opens doors to history, culture, flavours, and experiences from places around the world.

While both of us have enjoyed travel from a young age, we planned the trip of a lifetime to Paris after we got married. As someone who speaks French, I had always wanted to visit Paris and Charles is a big patron of the arts, so he could not wait to discover the museums of Paris.

It changes every day, but one favourite we always return to is Paris. Between us, we’ve been there over a dozen times!

Our camera. Currently is the Sony A7RIII

We loved ‘The Way’ which features the walk of Camino del Santiago from France to Spain and we hope to do that 800 km walk someday.

As your experts in  tailor-made travel to India , the Enchanting Travels team provides you with the top 10 travel blogs of India. Searching far and wide across the web, we reviewed dozens of blogs, considering the writing quality, originality of content and how the travel bloggers really captured the essence of India.

We’ve been following some of these inspiring bloggers for years, and can vouch that they live and breathe  travel in India . They are so good, that some of them have deservedly won top awards in the travel media industry!

1 Traveltalesfromindia.in

Mridula Dwivedi has been writing on her blog  Travel Tales from India  for almost 12 years now.

It began with just articles about travel in India, but as she has expanded her horizon since she gave up her academic career and decided to focus solely on writing, her blog now covers articles from her personal travels outwith India. Which is just as well, as we need her wisdom. Whether it is about how to handle the  monsoons of Kerala  or where to stay in the  deserts of Rajasthan , this blog has you covered. Dwivedi has got something of an international reputation, having been featured by the BBC, and The Guardian.

2 Desitraveler.com

Prasad Np has been dedicated to writing about India from the perspective of both his family – in comfort and style – and as a sole voyager in a more backpacking, fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants approach. Brimming with  India travel tips  and dos and don’ts, you can search the blog by specific destination (or state), which is highly useful if you are wishing to go in-depth during your India travels. You might wish to avoid altitude sickness at  Ladakh in the Himalayas , or learn about how a specific festival in a specific Indian city ticks. This is the blog for you.

What we love about  Desitraveler  is the fabulous photography – taken by the blogger’s own fair hands – that perfectly captures the spirit of India. Prasad NP has got it right: the journey is the destination!

3 Devilonwheels.com

This well-designed and nicely-compiled blog by travelling guru Dheeraj Sharma is dedicated to the beauty of the high and mighty  Himalayas of India . Given how gently he writes about the grace of snow-capped peaks and valleys, you might be surprised to find that Sharma’s dayjob is in software! A travel calendar ensures you will never miss another  event in Ladakh  or Spiti Valley, while there are top tips devoted to your preferred get-around style – be it by air, bike, foot, or 4×4.

Devilonwheels.com  has arguably the most comprehensive list of accommodation in the region. Dedicated to noble causes, the blog also boasts the Adventure Club, which invites members of the Devilonwheels community to join on local tours that give back to the rural Himalayan communities.

4 Isharethese.com

Desi girl Indrani Ghose has been blogging for almost ten years. In that time she’s been capturing the heart of India with an array of photography, particularly stunning portraits and faces of India. Proudly patriotic, no stone is left untouched, whether it is a review of the latest Indian automobile, ghostly tales in haunted  Indian palaces , or delicious destination dining. Ghose has since expanded the blog to global travels – having travelled to over 19 countries and 225 cities. You might be surprised to learn that Ghose was also a trained engineer in the Indian Air Force before venturing into the freelance writing world.

Isharethese.com  is also THE blog where you will see British Prime Minister Theresa May dressed in a full-blown sari during her recent India visit.

5 Lakshmisharath.com

Already an established journalist, Lakshmi Sharath switched her media desk job for a continued get-up-and-go life. Sharath beautifully journals her backpacking travel tales as she ventures to the nooks and crannies of India, where she magically weaves the magic of heritage, culture and mythology into something tangible for armchair travelers. She will keep you on the edge of that seat as she pens down her experiences of a deserted beach, or a town once swallowed by a cyclone, in her blog  Lakshmisharath.com .

You won’t be surprised that this real and fresh approach has received her notoriety as a key India travel influencer, and is repeatedly quoted and featured in global and national publications, from National Geographic Traveller to the Deccan Herald.

6 Myyatradiary.com

Mumbai-based  My Yatra Diary  blogger Arti romantically whips up your passion for  travel in India ! How does she do it? With a sprinkling of poetry from her favourite writers and intellectuals (often Indian, such as Munshi Premchand or Rabindranath Tagore), she relates it to her own experience on the road. Yatra in Hindi, means pilgrimage, and Arti’s blogging diary, which focuses on spiritual destinations in India, is a personal testament to her continuous love of learning and truth-seeking.

She’s been quoted in the Hindu and frequently featured on the Times of India travel website.

7 Inditales.com

Travel blogger Anuradha Goyal has every state in India covered – even the lesser visited states of Odisha and Meghalaya in the  northeast of India ! To those already familiar with her work, this probably comes as no surprise, given that she has been writing for over a decade. With walking tours as a favourite focus of hers, as well as art history and culture, Goyal writes with a confident, fearless voice. You will also find an impressive number of Indian bird photography on her  Inditales blog  – ideal for global bird lovers.

8 Indiatravelblog.com

Founded by Tony John (from Kerala) and his merry men of travel enthusiasts,  Indiatravelblog  is a great resource, acting primarily as a review site of accommodation, tour companies, and activities. Whether you are looking for the best place to go for an  Ayurveda spa resort experience in Kerala  or a  homestay in the Western Ghats , there is plenty to help you keep dreaming that your next India escape is never far away.

9 Indiasomeday.com

Run by two Mumbai-based travel enthusiasts, you will get a good flavor of  Indian culture  on  India Someday . Unlike many travel blogs, India Someday respects and celebrates  luxury travel in India  as much as your typical backpacking experience. It is particularly great for international travelers who are looking to come to India, as it is holds the useful information – like how to navigate the occasionally bewildering world of e-visas.

10 Sandeepachetan.com

Bursting with personal tidbits and must-see lists, this personal travel blog of India – the brainchild of Mumbai couple Sandeepa and Chetan is a great read! Incidentally, the couple sold their house to travel the world full-time two years ago. Whether you want to know about the  best train journeys  to take or the best  landscapes in India , or the inside story on monastery festivals, or off-the-beaten path gems for serious trekkers, it has it all. So devoted to capturing the essence of travel, Sandeepa and Chetan also offer their secrets on what electronic gadgetry and photographic equipment they are using under their Our Travel Gear section!

Top Travel Bloggers and their Blogs on India

Travel is not research and facts, but experience. You may have spent months trying to know about a place, its weather, its seasons, the festivals and the kind of tourism it offers. But nothing, and we mean it, nothing prepares you for the real feel of the air, the behaviour of those locals, the exprience of just being. Hence the need for those who have already been. Here we have compiled an extensive list of top travel bloggers (in no particular order of ranking) who have spoken even more extensively about their travels to India . This being a diverse land, of deserts and snowy Himalayas, rainy marshlands and quaint backwaters; often articles written from a research perspective fail to do justice to the realities of travelling to this land. We hope the following accounts will help you grasp the feel of India. But of course, you will need to visit it some day to experience it!

Well, even in today’s digital world, we are facing a problem, which is very relevant in the travel segment. Searching for places to visit in Rishikesh returns 1,68,00,000 results on Google, however after going through the top few, the query remains the same, or it makes things even more complicated because most of the travel content is written by either those who haven't been there or is just bubbled up to rank higher on Google. This is the loop Nilabh found while researching for his Rameshwaram visit from Bangalore a couple of years ago, and hence started documenting his first-hand experience on TravelEscape.

Namita Kulkarni | Radically Ever After

Namita says her travels as a Yoga enthusiast have shown her various overlaps between Yoga and travel - "For starters, both require a willingness to fall flat on one's face at some point, and both expand your sense of possibilities and your idea of who you are. Through my blog, I share my experiments with Yoga and travel, and how Yoga can be the best travel mate. As for travelling alone as a woman, safety is not a guarantee anywhere. So I might as well take the risks that excite me and be game for the ones I couldn’t have imagined. I love it when random strangers write in saying how they enjoyed reading, or how my blogs helped them make certain travel decisions or even try Yoga for the first time ever. "

I don't believe in bucket lists, and I wouldn't stick to one even if I did get around to making one. Right now the places that interest me the most are:

Our ultimate 3 week india itinerary: the best places in 2024.

Out of the dozens of countries we have now travelled to, I think India was the most daunting when it came to planning a route .

And, as you might have already guessed, it comes down to one simple reason …

India is huge!

It is almost the size of a small continent and, with so many hundreds of towns and cities to choose from, it’s almost impossible to know where to start.

Well, after weeks of research and speaking to fellow backpackers who have been there, we designed a 3 week India itinerary that covered many of the most famous cities.

And, in the end, I’m really happy with how it turned out!

So, if you’re looking to visit many of India’s most famous sites and cities, such as the Taj Mahal or the city of Mumbai , and you’re limited to just 3 weeks in India, then this is the itinerary for you.

Travellerspoint

Firstly, a little bit on Indian Visas

One of the things I love most about India is how cheap it is to travel the country in relative comfort and style.

However, that being said, they really rip you off with their visa fees!

It’s by far the most expensive visa we’ve ever had to pay and it is also the most ridiculous to try and navigate and fill out.

Which is such a shame as I think charging so much above-the-odds for a visa is stopping so many budget travellers from gaining the opportunity to visit.

As a UK citizen, I had to pay $USD136 for a 2 month visa with 2 entrances.

It was annoying having to pay this much, seeing as we only had 3 weeks to spend in the country.

But alas, someone makes the rules and we have to stick to them.

If you want to take some of the complexity out of arranging things, then you can get your Indian visa from e-Visa or a similar online agency. Do note that they charge a fee for their service, but it does take a lot of the stress out of the process.

If you're happy to sort your visa yourself like we did, then here are a few sites you can use when sorting your visa:

Our Awesome 3 week India itinerary from South to North

Now that's out the way, let’s get down to why you’re actually here ….

Here is our final 3 week India route that covered many of the major tourist spots.

NOTE: You can travel this route in either direction. We chose south to North as we started our journey in Sri Lanka and ended with a trip to Nepal.

Here's a map of the route we took ...

Stop 1: Goa - 5 nights

Goa, in itself, is a very large area that you should take time to explore.

We spent a few nights up near Vagator Beach in the north and then a couple more nights in the south near to Benaulim Beach.

To be honest, I would not recommend going to Vagator, despite so many reviews online saying it’s the nicest beach in the whole of Goa.

Instead, check out this awesome guide on Goa beaches that Cazzy wrote and create your own 5 night mini Goa itinerary.

• Where to stay in Goa: In a private pool villa of course!

Overnight train - 1 night

If you really want to experience Goa, then I recommend taking an overnight train at some point.

It is possible to book a space in a First Class sleeper cabin that has air conditioning at is very comfortable and affordable.

Alternatively, book yourself a day train and that way you get to see more of the spectacular Indian countryside.

Stop 2: Mumbai - 3 nights

For me, Mumbai was the pinnacle of what you believe India to be like. It is a huge, crazy, hectic city that is bursting with people, colour and life.

By spending 3 nights here you really get to take it all in and explore the city in its entirety.

Alternatively, you could spend just 2 nights and then take the train north to Udaipur.

However, this would be an incredibly long journey. We flew instead.

• Where we stayed in Mumbai: Backpacker Panda Appetite

Stop 3: Udaipur - 2 nights

Udaipur is a pleasant mix of typical Indian business, alongside historically significant sites.

To really make the most of Udaipur and enjoy everything it offers, you ideally need to hire a moped for the day and head outside of the city to explore the local lakes and forts.

Alternatively, you can book a space on a bus tour that takes you to many of the ones much further out.

• Where we stayed in Udaipur: Treebo Park Classic Udaipur

Stop 4: Jodhpur - 2 nights

Jodhpur is famously known as the Blue City, due to the large array of buildings covered in blue wash that makes them stand out beautifully from the right angle.

Again, there’s plenty to do here. But what I will say is that you 100% must stay in the same place as what we did!

It was cheap, architecturally stunning from the inside and had prime views of the famous Mehrangarh Fort.

• Where we stayed in Jodhpur: Castle View Home Stay

Stop 5: Pushkar - 2 nights

Next on our 3 week backpacking route of India we have the extremely famous religious city of Pushkar.

At certain times of the year, this small charming city becomes one of the most densely populated areas anywhere in India.

It plays host to the famous Camel Festival which is hosted in November each year.

We just missed out on it, but likely wouldn't have got accommodation anyway, as the entire city books up weeks (or even months) in advance!

It is also a crucial pilgrimage site in India as it contains India’s one and only Brahma temple .

• Where we stayed in Pushkar: The Country Side Resorts

Stop 6: Jaipur - 2 nights

We were fortunate enough to be staying in Jaipur during the epic Hindu festival of Diwali.

Jaipur is already an incredibly exciting city filled with so many historic sites to explore.

On any other day of the year, it is a busy place to try to walk, ride or drive through.

But during Diwali, this goes to a whole nother level!

The streets are filled with millions of people celebrating the Festival Of Lights, with children constantly setting off fireworks and firecrackers either into the sky or underneath boxes so they explode.

• Where we stayed in Jaipur: The Livin

Stop 7: Agra - 2 nights

Though there are a few key sites to see in Agra, there is one main reason this should be on your 3 week India route …

The Taj Mahal.

This is easily India’s most famous monument and it’s hardly a wonder why.

It is truly magnificent and, despite being talked about and praised so widely, it really does live up to expectations .

Just make sure you book yourself into a hotel in Agra near to the Taj Mahal so that you get to stay outside of the busy city centre and can get there as early as possible in the morning.

• Where we stayed in Agra: Radisson Blu Agra Taj East Gate

Stop 8: New Delhi - 2 nights

As the capital of India, it’s only fitting that your 3 week trip through India should either end, or begin, in New Delhi.

It is jam packed full of things to do and is a city that truly does seem to be booming.

For me, it was a little too busy and getting in and out of the city to the outskirts is an absolute nightmare.

But then again, would you expect any less?

• Where we stayed in New Delhi: Hotel Paragon Suites (Would NOT recommend!)

Total = 20 Nights + 1 Night Spent On An Overnight Train = 3 Weeks

How do you get around India?

Another reason why we picked all of these major cities in our 3 week India itinerary is because it is relatively straightforward to get between each one.

There are 4 main modes of transport you can use in India …

For the majority of journies, we used buses, and these can usually be booked very cheaply a day or two before from one of the many tour operators dotted around each city.

In fact, when in Udaipur, we went ahead and booked our bus tickets from Udaipur to Jodhpur and Jodhpur to Pushkar.

The second mode of transport that we used was train.

We took 2 train journeys, one being an overnight train from Goa to Mumbai and the other being a train from Jaipur to Agra.

The first one we booked by visiting the train station in Margao (Goa) directly and the second one we booked in Udaipur at the same tour operator who booked our bus tickets.

It is possible to book train tickets online through this website , however after numerous attempts of trying to validate our account I simply couldn't get it to work.

Instead, we booked through a tour operator who used the exact same system but charged a booking fee of around $USD0.50 each.

So for a dollar in total we saved ourselves a whole bunch of hassle and stress in trying to book them ourselves.

3. Airplane

The third mode of transport that we used was flying.

We had two flights in total, one being from Mumbai up to Udaipur and the other being from Chennai, which is in the south of India, to Goa.

I didn't add Chennai into this 3 week itinerary of India, simply because we were only there as a stopover destination on our flight from Sri Lanka.

Flying is by far the most convenient way of covering large distances across India.

Our 4th and final mode of transport in India was Uber .

As well as using it in most cities in order to get around from place to place, we also used it to go from Pushkar to Jaipur.

It worked out as about twice the price of a bus, but this is a small price to pay for higher levels of comfort and for at least an hour shaved off the journey time.

Final thoughts on planning a 3 week route through India

Though this turned out to be an ideal 3 week route for us, it doesn’t mean that it’s ideal for you.

We chose this route because it covered many of the most historic and significant cities in India, and made good sense geographically.

Importantly, it covers the famous Indian Golden Triangle, which means visiting the 3 important cities of New Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.

However, you are limited to just 3 weeks and want to spend more of your time relaxing and enjoying the coastline, you might wish to extend your time in Goa and cut out a few of the cities.

I still recommend trying to fit in the Golden Triangle tour if possible.

Alternatively, you might be keen to spend time practising yoga or getting away from the hustle and bustle of the cities.

In which case, there are a number of retreats dotted across India, particularly in the north.

Also, if you do want to change up your itinerary then think strategically about how you will get from place to place.

If possible, book any flights or train journeys as far in advance as possible.

First Class AC train tickets book up weeks in advance, so try and get a solid itinerary in place before you arrive in India.

Other than that, all you have left to do is embrace the hectic nature of India and prepare yourself for a true explosion of the senses!

As long as you enter the country with an open mind, then there’s no reason why you won't truly love your time there and have an unforgettable experience.

If there’s any places you think I missed off and that you have included in your own final 3 week India backpacking itinerary, then let me know in the comments below!

We were lost about what she was asking. We only kept saying, “solo pollo” (only chicken). After a while, she just pointed to her legs, breasts and made flapping actions.

• A story from your travels – Story of a helpful and well-meaning group of Chinese old men and women. They were practicing fan dance in the expansive grounds of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. I approached them to ask if there was a pharmacy nearby as I needed a pain-relieving spray (my knee was hurting after walking around for a few kilometers inside the temple grounds). They didn’t know English (or even Hindi and Punjabi). I didn’t know Mandarin. So, a lot of sign language later, one gentleman seemed to understand my problem and gave me extensive directions. Following his directions, I hobbled across for a kilometer or so, went up four floors of a dilapidated building and found myself in a stockings store instead of a pharmacy. Despite my pain, I couldn’t help smiling as I realized how my sign language sucked and what that old man understood! It made me realize I am not cut out to act in Bollywood movies!

• Motivation to travel – The prospect of unearthing newer destinations and recounting those stories is what motivates me. I always liked to write and travel provides the fodder for that. So, blogging is not an afterthought for me and I am thinking of my lines even as I am hiking through a jungle. For the same reason, I try to find locations as unique as possible and I am not really interested in touristy environs and luxury resorts.   
• Top bucket List Destination – I am looking to explore the innermost areas of Ladakh, including the Suru Valley and Zanskar Valley. This will be followed by more explorations into Northeast India.
• Biggest travel inspiration – There are many but I think as a writer I will go with Eric Newby, for his ability to turn an unsuccessful climb to top-notch travel literature.
• Strangest food item you’ve tasted – Not strange, but it is the other way round. Once in the interiors of Nagaland, I had to survive on boiled cabbages as I could not eat the rest of the items.
• A story from your travels – There are many but I think I’ll go with the one at Dzukou Valley when I mistimed the trek and got stranded in the jungle for the night during a solo trek.

I jumped in the ocean with my instructor and during my dive, I was in a world of magic! That moment will always be close to my heart. That’s when I realized, not every magical world is fiction, you just need eyes to notice it. This is the story of getting out of comfort zone to experience something which you couldn’t even imagine!

Join them as they tick off items off their bucket list on their blog ‘ Ticking the Bucket List ‘.

• Motivation to travel – The joy of meeting new people, seeing Nature in her glory, sampling local food and the freshness that it adds to life
• Top bucket List Destination – Swimming with the jellyfish in Palau
• Biggest travel inspiration – Nature as always been our biggest draw …earlier it was mountains, now it is beaches and other interesting landscapes and phenomena.
• Strangest food item you’ve tasted – We are vegetarians, so have always had the ‘regular and boring food’. However, we did chew on coca leaves (which is used to make cocaine) to beat altitude sickness in Bolivia.
• A story from your travels – Here is our attempt to sail…just 1 km, but it sure did transform into a memorable story.  Ankur and I rented a boat in the Adriatic sea to island hop. It was our maiden attempt at sailing. I decided to captain the boat and Ankur decided to perch himself on the little plank in our boat. Let me add, Ankur was learning swimming then and my captaincy wasn’t the safest feeling.  A few minutes into the sea and the water got a little ‘choppy’; well, as choppy as a fat man snoring, which isn’t ‘choppy’ in the real sense, but isn’t as calm as a lake either. And I dropped the anchor, which I could not lift. I wanted Ankur’s help, but he decided to maintain his perch for the want of dear life! Thus, the scene was as follows: Me struggling to pull the anchor; Ankur clinging on to the plank.  Ankur finally mustered some courage and helped me lift the anchor..we make a great team – always! We abandoned our island hopping mission and sailed back to the port and reached the jetty with an extremely ungraceful thud! Never did we show our face in that port again!

We went around the island along the shoreline in the night. The tide has completely subsided exposing the vast seabed. Walking on the white sand made of coral dust which glistened like jewels in the moonlight was like living a fairytale.

• Strangest food item you’ve tasted – I am not very much into experimentation when it comes to food. However, I had tried dried mithun meat (a local cattle found only in Northeast India and China) in Arunachal Pradesh with their local beer “Ara”. It was worth the risk I must admit.
• A story from your travels – Being a solo traveler, there have been many (mis)adventures on the road but, it is the locals who have always come to my rescue. My favourite is the one when I was travelling in the most interior parts of Maharashtra (Ahmednagar) and I boarded a wrong bus. I wasn’t well versed with Marathi (local language of Maharashtra) and none could speak Hindi. It took me a long time to convey where I intended to go and everyone on the bus helped me figure out alternatives. The bus left only after I boarded the right vehicle. I met a girl in the vehicle and she invited me to stay at her home after listening to my story. Her family showed me around the entire village and nearby places. Today, they have become like my second fam and I get invited every year at their annual family get-togethers. My (mis)adventures have managed to strengthen my faith in humanity after many such encounters.

• Strangest food item you’ve tasted – I tried a pionono today, which is a traditional dessert from Santa Fe, a small town in the province of Granada. I found it sweeter than a thousand trucks of sugar so I couldn’t even get past the first bite. Found a homeless man and gave it to him instead.
• A story from your travels – Oh so many. The Cuban love for music and dance is something I saw expressed in so many ways, so perhaps that.

38. Dev – Footloose Dev

He soon started his blog, and within no time the blog started bringing in sponsored trips and paid endorsements his way.

He shares his learning from the road and inspires others to realize their travel dreams on his blog, ‘ Footloose Dev’ .

• Motivation to travel – The freedom. I like the idea of visiting new places, call a town HOME for as long as the hear likes and then moving to a different location. The very routine of considering the world the home is motivating.  And now that I’m making money out of blogging there’s anyway no need to discontinue travelling full time and find a permanent job as everyone else around me.
• Top bucket List Destination – Two things: travelling to Tokyo and spending a few weeks exploring local culture and history, and going on a Trans-Siberian train journey.
• Biggest travel inspiration – Many people. And this doesn’t include bloggers essentially. My dad, for example, is an inspiration too who did not travel for leisure much in life, but his job (he worked for the government) kept demanding him to relocate every few months. He was a traveller and an inspiration for me. And now that he’s retired from the job, he spends most of his time staying home and realxing.
• Strangest food item you’ve tasted – The local traditional fish of indigenous Khasi People in Meghalaya (India). It’s called ‘Jadoh’ which is basically rice served with Pig’s intestine and brain. The crazy thing is, however, the way how rice is cooked, and that is: by boiling rice in Pig’s blood rather than in water as usually done.
• A story from your travels – About my volunteering experience in Germany where I stayed with a local German family for almost a fortnight and helped them manage their stable.  It was amazing how I woke up to feed the horses everyday, brush them and later go for horse riding.  Felt like a different life altogether.

• Biggest travel inspiration – Myself. Every time I return from a trip to a new place, I am a changed person – and the change is a conscious decision to adapt to a better life. I like the “new me” because it is moulded on the best from all worlds.

• A story from your travels – The deadly trek to the Chandratal lake in 2009 which gave birth to my blog Devil On Wheels… I still remember people urging us not to attempt this trek due to snow on road, making it slippery enough but I was into a negative trance of my life, a life which I never respected. We went out for the trek with some AMS symptoms, (at least now I know what it was ;)) was having an awesome time of my life, healing my depressive feelings before I slipped into the water crossing / nallah drenching my feet completely, snowfall started and weather upturned on its head. Guide asked us to move back fast before we freeze right there and reach the base Battal to get some warmth inside the dhabha. It was a run for life and as I slipped onto one of the snow slopes the whole life went through a flashback and suddenly I felt I have to live. That was it, guide saved me from the fall and we reach back safely to the base, got some fire inside dhabha, puked a couple of times and went to sleep. The next morning I woke up I was not the person before, I loved the sun rays, the snow outside, the stones, nature and I was missing my family… I knew that the depression died last day in a run to save my life, in a run to live life and I am no longer the person before…

13 Amazing Things to Do in India

My friend Wandering Earl is my other half – a hard core budget traveler who loves exploring the world. We’re two peas in a pod. As he gears up for his nineteenth trip to India (leading yet another sold-out tour), I asked him to share some of his favorite locations in the country to give you (and me) some ideas on what to do in a country so vast! Enter Earl:

Everywhere you turn in India, there is something to do or to see that you probably have never done or seen before. There are experiences to be had — whether fascinating or shocking or rewarding or confusing or educational or frustrating — all day long, no matter where you happen to be.

When I traveled to India for the first time back in 2001, just my first two weeks in the country involved camping at a pristine lake in a remote tribal region, hiking in the Himalayas, visiting Tibetan villages and monasteries, drinking mango lassis for the first time from a market stall in Kolkata, playing cricket with a group of Indians I met at a Hindu temple, and spending an evening with the family of a taxi driver who invited me to his home for dinner.

That’s what happens when you visit India.

The result of such an incredible variety and frequency of memorable experiences is exactly what has happened to me and countless other travelers: we simply can’t get enough and constantly feel the need to return over and over again for more.

And though one post on India could never do the country justice, today I want to share 13 of the best things to do in India after 18 visits there, both as a traveler and a tour guide:

1. Gali Paranthe Wali (Delhi)

While the usual filling is potatoes, on this street you can get them stuffed with anything, from cheese to squash to raisins to mint to mixed vegetables to cashews and more. Some of the places have been around for over 100 years, and it doesn’t take long to see why these hole-in-the-wall eateries are almost always full of Indians enjoying this tasty meal.

Take a food tour if you want to really dive in and learn about the cuisine.

Take the metro to Chandni Chowk. Once there, head east on Chandni Chowk until you hit the alley. Follow the alley and you’ll come to the paratha restaurants.  

2. Akshardham (Delhi)

This cultural complex located near the Yamuna River is, to me, one of the most impressive structures in all of India, with its massive temple constructed from the carvings of several thousand Indian artisans. When you see it for the first time, it will blow you away with its unique appearance and seemingly otherworldly architecture — and that’s before you go inside.

Inside, you’ll find yourself amidst a scene of absurdly detailed design, from the pillars to the walls to the domed ceilings high above, all helping to tell the story of Hinduism. Arrive an hour or so before sunset and you’ll also be treated to the beautiful temple all lit up, helping to further etch itself in your memory.

NH 24, Akshardham Setu, New Delhi (located near the Akshardham metro station), +91 114-344-2344, akshardham.com/visitor-info. Open Tuesday-Sunday from 9:30am-6:30pm. Admission is free, though the exhibitions and water shows had an entry fee (between 80-170 INR per person).  

3. Raj Mandir Cinema (Jaipur)

It’s one of the best-known cinemas in India. Opened in 1976, this large art-deco structure is my favorite place in the country to catch a Bollywood film. The pastel-colored interior design, the efficient suit-clad staff, the spacious theater with its comfortable seats, and the lively atmosphere deriving from hundreds of excited Indian moviegoers all make you feel as if you’re attending a major movie premiere.

As a bonus, once the movie is over, you’re only a two-minute walk away from MI Road, where you’ll find several Jaipuri lassi shops. Join the lines, order a large sweet lassi, and sit back and enjoy its pure deliciousness!

C-16, Bhagwant Das Road, +91 141-237-4694, therajmandir.com. Ticket prices range from 100-400 INR depending on where you want to sit. See the website for an up-to-date list of movies.  

4. Chand Baori Stepwell (Abhaneri)

Constructed by King Chanda of the Nikumbha Dynasty in 8000 BCE, the massive rectangular well is approximately 30 meters deep and consists of over 3,500 steps intertwined in a precise maze-like pattern on three sides, playing with the sunlight reflecting off of its angles.

When you are inside, be sure to have a look at the dozens of statues of Hindu gods and religious scenes that line the outer walkway of the well, some dating back a thousand years. There is no entrance fee, but the local caretaker, who keeps the place immaculate, will ask for a “tip” as you leave.

Abhaneri is located around 95km from Jaipur. Take the bus to Sikandra, which will take around 90 minutes and cost 60-90 INR. From there you can hire a jeep for around 250 INR (return) to take you to the steps.  

5. Ranakpur Jain Temple (Ranakpur)

Set in the forest, this temple is supported by over 1,400 intricately carved pillars, of which no two are the same, creating an almost eerie atmosphere as you wander through the courtyard, as if in a never-ending ancient maze.

I highly recommend the audio guide that comes with your ticket, as regular guides are not allowed inside. The narration offers a thorough look at how this temple was created, its period of abandonment, and its resurrection as a major place of worship. Not too many people visit Ranakpur compared to other destinations and even fewer spend the night in the village.

Desuri Tehsil (near Sadri), +91 774-201-4733, anandjikalyanjipedhi.org. Open daily from 12pm-5pm (open prior but only for prayer). Admission is 200 INR and includes an audio guide. If you want a photography permit, it’s an extra 100 INR.  

6. Animal Aid Unlimited (Udaipur)

If you visit, you’ll find cows, donkeys, dogs, pigs, goats, and other animals receiving wonderful care from a dedicated team of volunteers, veterinarians, and paid staff from the local community. I’ve visited Animal Aid four times now , and I always head to the enclosure for dogs that have been partially paralyzed. I could sit in that enclosure for hours, hanging out with these energetic dogs that seem truly excited to be in this special place.

Animal Aid is a great spot to visit, either for a tour by one of the staff (which they are happy to do) or even to volunteer. Short-term and long-term volunteers are always welcome with open arms.

Located near Badi Village (8km from Udaipur). Expect to pay around 350 INR for a rickshaw there (return). Just make sure to arrange your ride back before coming as there are no rickshaws available at the sanctuary so you need to arrange transportation before visiting. animalaidunlimited.org.  

7. Natraj Dining Hall (Udaipur)

There is no menu — you simply eat what they cook: a variety of vegetable dishes, rice, fresh chapati , chutneys, and plenty of other good stuff. Some dishes might be spicy, so be sure to ask before you take a bite! It’s all-you-can-eat and they’ll keep dishing out the food until you give a forceful “no more!” It costs about 120 rupees ($1.85) per person.

22-24 City Station Road, +91 941-475-7893. Open daily from 10:30am-3:45pm and 6:30pm-10:30pm.  

8. Kukki’s Cave Paintings (Bundi)

Sign up for a trip with the local named Kukki on the outskirts of Bundi, a beautiful little town in Rajasthan. You’ll hear Kukki’s story on the tour, but here’s a short version: he was a man with little education and no background in archaeology who ended up discovering some of India’s most impressive cave paintings and ancient artifacts simply by wandering around ruined monuments and structures on his own. Some of the paintings you’ll see are of hunting scenes and daily life and are believed to be 15,000 years old.

But even apart from the paintings, joining Kukki is absolutely wonderful, as he takes you to seldom-visited areas of Rajasthan, tells you endless stories about his fascinating life and work, and teaches you about the general history of the region. His personality alone is enough reason to go on this tour, and if you’re in Bundi, there is no better way to spend half a day.

Located 220km south of Jaipur, +91 900-100-0188, kukkisworld.com. Tour prices vary, but expect to pay around 3,800 INR ($55 USD) for a 2-person tour.  

9. Jolly Music House (Varanasi)

Apart from the usual sights and experiences, however, there is one tiny room located down a lane in the Bengali Tola area of the Old City that I always get excited to enter. This is the Jolly Music House, run by the always-friendly Jolly, a middle-aged man and talented musician who offers courses and lessons on all types of traditional Indian instruments. But if you ask him, he’ll also organize a concert in the evening. The experience will leave you mesmerized and wanting to return every night you’re in this city. Tell him Earl sent you!

D- 34/4 Dashashwamedh, +91 983-929-0707. Open daily from 10am-9pm.  

10. Medieval city of Orchha (Orchha)

Wake up early, before the buses arrive, and rent a bicycle. Bike along the paths connecting the temples, palaces, and fort, and you’ll be the only one out there. Once evening comes around and the bus tours are gone, wander into the courtyard of the Ram Raja Temple, a major pilgrimage site dedicated to Lord Ram. Climb onto a rooftop and observe life below, as there are often festivals and ceremonies taking place by the temple.

Given the small size of Orchha (just a couple of streets), accommodations aren’t abundant, but an excellent option is to book a homestay in a local family home through the NGO Friends of Orchha.  

11. Golden Temple (Amritsar)

While there isn’t much time for conversation, you’ll probably end up waving and smiling to a lot of Indians sitting near you, all curious as to why you are there. Once back outside, you’ll then often find yourself shaking hands with those you were eating with and chatting up a storm.

Golden Temple Road, +91 183-255-3954, sgpc.net/sri-harmandir-sahib. Open daily from 4am-11pm. Admission is free.  

12. Palolem Beach (Goa)

The main reason I like this area is that it has a little bit of everything: independent travelers, couples, a party crowd, vacationers, all kinds of food, some simple nightlife, water activities, and plenty of day trip options to waterfalls, secluded beaches, snorkeling locations, canyons, and more — all while keeping its laid-back atmosphere. Here’s where I like to stay when I’m there: A quick guide to Palolem, Goa  

13. Kinnaur, Lahaul, and Spiti (Himachal Pradesh)

With the breathtaking snow-covered mountains surrounding you at all times, you’ll feel as if you’ve been transported to a hidden world of such extreme beauty that nothing could possibly top the experience. Give yourself 10-14 days to complete the loop — it just might be the most memorable period of your travels.

That’s India.

Actually, that’s only a tiny slice of this country, a tiny, tiny glimpse into what awaits those who visit.

The possibilities are literally endless.

And since my travels here always involve a long list of educational, rewarding, and eye-opening activities, interactions, and experiences that I could never have imagined or predicted, every time another India trip comes to an end, I already know it won’t be long before I return again.

These incredible things to see and do in India shouldn’t be missed!

My Honest Thoughts on Each Place I Visited in India!

Categories Asia , India

During my first trip to India, I visited 27 places in 4 months , that’s a lot I know! I loved most of the places I visited in India. Some places I didn’t like so much but they were the ‘iconic India’ places so I’m glad I went.

If you are looking for the best places to visit in India or get more information on exactly where to visit in India, I have written this post with a little paragraph on how I felt about each place I visited and rated them out of 5 so that you can read this and decide if you want to visit too or not!

This will be especially useful if you are travelling to India on a tight timeframe and don’t want to waste time in places you may not like.

Of course everything is down to my personal opinion, some days I wasn’t feeling well especially in the South so I didn’t see as much and therefore didn’t like it as much, but the below will give you my honest thoughts on every place I visited to help you plan your trip to India and itinerary around India!

Best time to visit India

Before we get into this India travel blog, it’s worth thinking about the best time to visit India as the country get’s very hot and wet in the middle of the year. November to March are the best times to visit both North & South India .

South India will be warmer than North India in the winter months of December and January , Delhi and further North actually get cold in these months but are still enjoyable to visit with the right clothing.

Outside these months, you can still visit but you’ll find that the heat and humidity will be much higher, especially as you go further South.

SIM CARD FOR INDIA

I really recommend having a sim card in India as it makes travel in India so much easier! You may have heard that it’s hard to get a sim card in India but you can get a sim card in Delhi Airport, read this post to see how to buy a sim card in Delhi Airport or if you fly in elsewhere 3 ways to buy a sim card in India and you’ll be connected in just a few hours!

WHAT TO WEAR IN INDIA

If you are a woman, here’s what I recommend you pack and wear in India . Technically you can wear what you like in India in most places but to get fewer stares and feel more comfortable, read my post!

DON’T GET SCAMMED IN DELHI

Most people arrive for the first time into Delhi and get scammed within a few hours! Read my Delhi Travel Tips to help you enjoy Delhi, and the best places to stay in Delhi which is so important!

North India

I really loved Mumbai! It was the first place I visited in India and the area of Colaba in South India is a traveller and tourist haven without being that touristy at all. I felt safe there and there were plenty of places to eat.

The Mumbai Local Train system is easy to use. There’s Uber too. There are enough things to do, although I do recommend doing a tour to help you see some of them and overall it’s a cool city to visit with a lot to offer.

Here are some must-do things in Mumbai

Udaipur, also known as the White City and the City Lakes is very beautiful, just like a lot of people told me.

I loved it’s rooftops and I loved how small and easy it is to get around, but what I didn’t like is all of the guys outside the shops trying to make conversation and get you into their stores. They’re good at it I admit and I felt bad when I just walked by and ignored them but when you get asked 50 times a day ‘ma’am where are you from? are you lost? what are you looking for?’ it gets really annoying!

Update: After visiting more Cities in India and Rajasthan I realise that Udaipur is actually very nice and it’s size is also great as it’s easy to explore and the hassle isn’t that bad there in hindsight!

-Kumbhalgarh

This place is not on the typical Rajasthan Itinerary but I’m really glad I split my trip up between Udaipur and Jodhpur and went here. I stayed in a lovely hotel – Shahpura Kumbhal Villas which was a bit of luxury but actually its only £40.00 a night.

There are a lot of higher end resorts in Kumbhalgarh so you do need more a budget to go and you’ll need a private driver but if you have the money and you want some peace and quiet in india, Kumbhalgarh is a great place to go!

Recommended Accommodation: Shahpura Kumbhal Villas

I had 2 experiences in Jodhpur- a 3 nights in a homestay 30 minutes from the City and 3 nights in the City.

I loved the homestay so so much, it was literally the exact experience I wanted on this trip to India and I got it within 2 weeks of being here! I got to sleep in a mud hut, watch food being made, help cook food, play with the children, ask lots of questions and see the stars, this was truly one of my best travel experiences ever!

I did not get on with the City of Jodhpur however. It’s really dirty with s**t literally everywhere. There’s a lot of traffic in small areas and there isn’t that much to do really, also, its not that blue!

I’m glad I went and I would still recommend it if you have time but if you are short on time I’d say to leave the city of Jodhpur out

Pushkar is the place to come if you want to relax a bit. Compared to most places in Northern India it’s very chilled and has a backpacker, traveller, and hippy vibe. Its also very spiritual and holy which makes it popular with Indians and Hindu’s.

I spent 1 week in Pushkar to catch up on some blogging work and it was a great place to do this from. I got into a nice routine of getting up early, getting a chai, going to yoga and meditation, working, getting lunch, having a walk, watching the sunset and having dinner.

Pushkar is pretty cheap for accommodation, food and shopping too!

Recommended Accommodation: Elephant Pushkar Hostel (where I stayed) or Inn Seventh Heaven (for something a bit more fancy, my Aunty stayed here last year and loved it!).

I’ll say now that the ‘Pink City’ is not that pink (just like Jodhpur isn’t that blue), and again like Jodhpur, I had romanticised views that the Pink City would be where I’d spend all my time and it would be really pretty but apart from being more terracotta, it’s actually only a small part of the City and very busy with traffic!

I enjoyed my stay in Jaipur but that was all down to my 2 accommodations. I stayed at Shahpura House which is a luxury heritage hotel. It is really beautiful and if you want a bit of luxury and a good price, I’d recommend it. I then moved to a hostel – Moustache Hostel which I also loved as I met great people and they have lots of activities on which makes seeing the City easier.

Because thats the thing, Jaipur has a lot to do, there are Forts, a Palace, iconic Buildings, Stepwells, Temples and more but a Rickshaw or Taxi is needed to go everywhere and although it is fairly cheap it is quite exhausting and the traffic is bad too, therefore I didn’t end up seeing everything Jaipur had to offer but I still enjoyed it!

I was actually pleasantly surprised with Delhi! I had heard how busy it was and I was a bit worried about going but I stayed in New Delhi in the main backpacker section and although it was busy it was manageable and I enjoyed being able to walk to Connaught Place which is more modern with lots of shops.

The Delhi Metro is really easy to use and is a great way to get around, a lot of the main places to visit in Delhi can actually be visited using the metro, alternatively if you do a day tour you can see everything of places in Delhi in a short amount of time!

Recommended Accommodation:  New Delhi is a good location. I stayed in Backpackers Heaven @ New King on my first visit and DO NOT recommend it! I later stayed at Zostel Delhi and really liked it there!

I’m glad I went to Amritsar, the Golden Temple is incredible, so is the kitchen experience and the Wagah Border but I was very happy to leave after 2 days, I had booked 3 nights and reduced it to 2!

The back streets are pretty dirty and very small and busy, apart from the things I have mentioned above there is not much else to do, I got food poisoning too which didn’t help my trip there, and I went on a public holiday so it was soo busy! I have heard from others that they really enjoyed their time in Amritsar and found it quite relaxed so I think my public holiday experience was a one off.

Definitely go but only stay 48 hours max!

Recommended Accommodation:  NOT WOW Backpackers, I didn’t like it there at all! I have heard that Jugadus Hostel   is good and GoStops Hostel in Amritsar  is a which is a chain of hostels in India could be good too!

-Dharamshala / McLeod Ganj

I loved it here! And I was still ill for most of my time here! Dharamshala is in the state of Himachal Pradesh up in the Mountains, in fact at the bottom of the Himalayan Mountains. Because it’s so far away a lot of travellers don’t make it here but it really was the fresh air I needed in India!

It’s the home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Council so it has a huge Tibetan and Buddhist influence which makes it really unique. It’s a lot quieter than anywhere else I have been with simply stunning nature, good food and good people! I stayed in McLeod Ganj which is in the Dharamshala area and thought this was a great base!

From here I really wanted to go to Manali or Shimla but it was November and too cold. I do plan to go back and I would recommend you seeing more of Himachal Pradesh whilst in Dharamshala.

Score:  5

Recommended Accommodation:  I stayed at Ram Yoga House which definitely helped enhance my experience there, it was so nice and good value. I 100% recommend staying there!

Rishikesh is the home of yoga and a bit hippy and if you know me you’ll probably know already that I liked it here! Don’t get me wrong, I perhaps went with slightly too high expectations as I know a lot of travellers and expats end up getting ‘stuck’ here and even living here because they love it so much whereas it is still very busy and busy with Indian tourists too which made it not the shanti/peaceful place I thought it would be.

That aside, I love the vibe here. I love the abundance of yoga classes and all types of other healing classes and courses. The people it attracts are really great and there’s so many cafes overlooking the beautiful Ganga River!

Recommended Accommodation: I stayed at Shiv Shakti Hostel and wasn’t a huge fan of it’s private rooms although other’s liked it for it’s dorm rooms and social vive. I also heard The Hosteller is good, so is Live Free Hostel . For something more fancy and in a great location, the Kunwar Residency would be a good option. Aside from that there are also the Ashram’s that are very popular in Rishikesh!

I really liked Agra! I mean, it wasn’t my favourite place in India BUT considering that a lot of people say to ‘get in and get out’ I found that to be wrong and I think that made me like it more because I think it’s a city you can spend 2-3 days in.

I liked that some of the streets around the Taj Mahal are a bit more modern and there’s one street that led me from the road of my hostel to the Taj Mahal which is totally pedestrian friendly with a pavement and everything (not common in India!).

I also liked how many places there are to see the Taj Mahal from and I loved seeing the Taj Mahal, I think it’s absolutely incredible and exceeded all my expectation so this really helped heighten my opinion of Agra!

Recommended Accommodation: Moustache Hostel Agra , I stayed here in a private room which was really great value. It’s in a good location, ran well and I enjoyed staying there!

People say you either love or hate Varanasi because it is a very busy, old and unique city and with that comes the fact that it is very different to a lot of places in India, let alone the world and the oldness creates a lot of dust and dirt.. or is that the burning bodies?

I went to Varanasi after being in India for 2 months and I think this is what made me enjoy it. I know people who have been at the start of their trip to India and found it very overwhelming. I think you should be prepared for Varanasi but don’t be worried about going. If you go at the start of your trip, embrace it and know that not everywhere in India is like this!

Recommended Accommodation:  Moustache Hostel Varanasi , I was recommended to stay here by a guy I met in Moustache Hostel Jaipur, mainly because of the location as the hostel is at Assi Ghat which is further down the river from the ‘centre’.

I’m really glad I stayed here as I loved the location, much less stress and craziness than accommodation in the centre and it has some great cafes and restaurants around it.

South India

Even though Goa is pretty big and differs in each place I’m going to bunch it together because it is mostly the beaches!

I visited Arambol and Candolim in North Goa and Palolem in South Goa. Palolem was my absolute favourite, in fact realising that India had a beach just like you find in Thailand or Philippines made me love India even more because it proved to me that India really does have it all!

I loved the vibe of Palolem, it’s a bit hippy, a bit holiday maker but there are no big ugly buildings and most of the accommodation is huts by the beach. After 3 days in Palolem with friends I stayed at Earth Yoga Village and did their yoga holiday for 1 week which was so so nice too!

I did like Arambol too but only because that was the first place I went in Goa, it’s a lot more holiday vibe and popular with Russians and Indian’s, which was fine. It’s also one of the original hippy places in North Goa but these days there are a lot of neon lights and loud music coming from the beach bars.

Candolim was fine for 2 days but I wouldn’t go back or recommend it. It seemed most popular with Brits and the main road is very much a busy road whereas Arambol and Palolem’s main road is a lot quieter and full of shops. The beach is nice and there’s lot of beach bars but it didn’t have anything that special about it in my opinion.

I know there are so many more beaches to visit in Goa but Palolem for me will take some beating!

The one thing I didn’t like about Goa is how hard it is to get from beach to beach! There are local buses but they do not go directly to each popular beach and are local so they take a long time. There is a train line in Goa but a lot of stations are not main stations.

I ended up getting taxi’s between places with my friends, luckily we could split the cost otherwise as a solo traveller this would get very expensive!

Score: Palolem – 5, Arambol – 3.5, Candolim – 2 .

Recommended Accommodation:   Palolem – Tent Cressida Cyrus – really nice tents and huts just off the beach. Arambol – Sunny’s Guesthouse – huts on the cliffside close to Arambol Beach. Candolim – Niki Guest House – nice guesthouse close to the beach .

Alleppey in Kerala is a ‘get in, get out’ place, and I say that because I was there an extra day longer than needed! It’s the best place to visit the Backwaters of Kerala from making it popular place to visit but aside from that there’s not much there.

There is a beach but I didn’t feel comfortable sunbathing and there are a few places to eat so its best to go there, do the backwaters and either chill or leave.

Score: 5 because the Backwaters were amazing!

Another beach place I loved is Varkala. It’s hard to decide whether I loved it more than Palolem although I guess I don’t really need to! Varkala is super chilled but has more edge than the beaches I visited in Goa. The beach itself is more wild and open and I love the cliffside full of accommodation and restaurants.

There are some cool cafes which I found great to work from with good food, there’s lots of yoga on offer and the overall vibe is rally good! I’ll definitely come back to Varkala!

BOOKING TRAINS IN INDIA

India is best travelled by train because its the quickest, cheapest and best way of getting to know the country. For an EASY option of booking trains in India use 12GO to search and book trains really easily. If you’ll be in India for awhile, you can use the local booking system, it’s a bit tricker but possible, here’s my post on how to book trains in India as a tourist .

BEST ACCOMMODATION IN INDIA

I always use Booking.com to book my hotels in India and Hostelworld to book my hostels . India has a great range of accommodation with brilliant hostel chains like Moustache, Zostel and Backpacker Panda as well as homestays to luxury hotels.

GUIDED TOURS IN INDIA

Many cities in India are best seen with a guide , even if it’s just a half day tour on your first day . Cities in India are chaotic and complex and what better way to taste the food and get to know the city than with a local. I recommend Get Your Guide & Viator for the best tours in India!

Kochi/ Cochin is an interesting City as it’s like no other place in India with a real Portuguese influence. Fort Kochi is the area where travellers stay and I’d say there’s no need to spend any time anywhere else in the City. I found Kochi a bit boring to be honest and I wasn’t a huge fan.

Although I was there over New Year which meant that many of it’s nice cafes were too busy to get a seat and the beach area was also really busy with tourists – Indian and foreigners so I felt like I couldn’t fully enjoy it and appreciate it’s vibe.

I have heard good opinions from other people though so I wouldn’t fully take my word on that it’s boring but there is only enough to cover 2 days in my opinion.

Recommended Accommodation: Bastian Homestay in Fort Kochi.

Munnar shows a totally different side of Kerala and I really loved it! Munnar is a popular place to see the tea plantations in this area along with lots of Mountains. I stayed in Munnar for 3 nights and 2 days and did a hike to see the tea plantations and some awesome viewpoints.

For me, this is what I wanted to see of inland Kerala and I’m really glad I did. I did see some blog posts saying Munnar is too touristy now and suggesting other hill stations in Kerala but I didn’t even go into the town of Munnar, instead staying at a homestay type place where they offer meals and tours which I’d really recommend doing too and made me really enjoy my time there!

Recommended Accommodation: The Wayside Cottage which is the homestay I stayed in.

Related Blog Post:  Hiking in the Tea Plantations of Munnar, Kerala!

Thekkady also known as Thekkady National Park and Periyar National Park was another nice inland destination in Kerala. The main town to stay in is actually called Kumily. It’s very much centred around tourism but I actually quite liked it.

The most popular thing to do of course is to head out into the National Park which I did on the Borders Hiking Day Tour. It started off quite intense and I was worried I’d gotten myself into a hike that was too hard for me but the main aim of the hike is to see animals, we saw a few like Bisen, Monkeys and some Wild Cows but Wild Elephants were what I wanted to see and thankfully at the end of the trek I did!

It made going there totally worth it and I enjoyed my time there and actually could have stayed for a second full day.

Recommended Accommodation: Green View Hotel

To be honest there isn’t that much more to do in Madurai but I did really enjoy the City. It’s bustling like all other Cities but it’s manageable and the locals are very friendly! I took a walking tour out with Story Trails which helped me understand more about the City.

I enjoyed The Lost Hostel where I stayed which helped enhance my few days in Madurai. I feel like this city may get missed off travellers India itinerary but it’s worth a visit I think!

Recommended Accommodation: The Lost Hostel , it’s the only hostel in Madurai but it has a kitchen, great rooftop and a washing machine.. bonus!

-Pondicherry

Pondicherry was what I thought it would be, it’s a very Indian Town but the main centre and the ‘tourist area’ is a place called White Town where the French once lived which means it’s filled with lots of nice buildings.

Some are more preserved than others and in no way is it an ‘artificial’ town, it’s very real and raw India but I liked seeing something a bit different to the usual Cities and Towns.

Plus Pondicherry has some nice cafes selling international food.. and lots of bread! I ate as much bread as I could here and it was great!

Auroville is a popular place to visit as a day trip from Pondicherry for for a few days so I enjoyed taking myself there for the morning.

Recommended Accommodation:  The only hostel in Pondicherry right now is Micasa Hostel but that’s fine because I really liked it, really comfy beds and a kitchen!  Villa Krish   and Hotel de Petit  are good hotel in Pondicherry options.

-Mahabalipuram

I did not like this place at all and felt that I wasted two days there. Firstly it was much busier than usual there as it was a state holiday but the town is very small and the main attractions of mahabalipuram are to see some rocks, rock carvings and caves.

The free ones that I saw were impressive in that they are so old but I just felt myself think- have I used up 2 days just to see some rocks??

Mahabalipuram Beach is a local beach and not that clean and the accommodation in the town is very lacking in good quality places.

Even though I had a particularly bad experience I wouldn’t recommend it anyway. The best way to see Mahabalipuram if you really want to is on a day trip from Chennai or staying at a nice resort to make it like a holiday!

Score:  0

Recommended Accommodation:  The Radisson Blu with its own pool and dining complex looks like the best way to enjoy the area!

Chennai doesn’t have any major attractions but it has a nice Hindu Temple, some Churches, some viewpoints and although it’s big it’s easy to get around. I did a tour with Story Trails which I enjoyed and helped me understand more about Hinduism and the City.

I wasn’t in love with Chennai and don’t have any need to go back but I enjoyed a few days there especially learning about the History of the British in Chennai and the Portuguese.

I did think it was a good place to visit for first time travellers to India though and I know it’s a popular first destination due to it’s cheap flights.

Recommended Accommodation:  One of the only hostels is Red Lollipop Hostel which is where I stayed, it’s a good place to meet new people, and has a kitchen!

Mysore is kind of split into two. It’s known for its grand architecture and especially the Palace which is very impressive. It has many other attractions too but they are all quite far from the City.

It’s also known as a good yoga hub in India but as I found out, this isn’t in the centre of Mysore City, it’s out in the neighbourhood of Gokulam.

I wasn’t a huge fan of Mysore but that’s because I stayed near the palace (I was ill and a bit over cities by this point), however I did enjoy my day out to Gokulam visiting some of its nice cafes. And I have heard that many other people do really like the city of Mysore. It is very unique and different to anywhere else with some very nice buildings.

Mysore has Uber which works really well and is a cheap way of getting around.

If you want to sight

Recommended Accommodation: The Green Hotel is very nice if you have the budget. The Manor Hostel is highly recommended too, and if you want Yoga in Mysore stay in Gokulam .

24 BEST PLACES TO VISIT IN INDIA!

Bangalore was my last stop in India after nearly 4 weeks. I enjoyed it but mainly because it felt so much more westernised and that made ma happy! Bangalore’s Metro system is clean and easy to use which I loved.

I stayed in the area of Indiranagar which I would really recommend, it has a metro stop but also so many cool places to eat and drink from local independent places to big chains like Nando’s, Costa, Pizza Hut.

Sightseeing in Bangalore isn’t the easiest I found. I went to the Palace via metro and tuk tuk but it cost so much to get in plus extra charges for camera’s, the art museum also cost a lot. It has a few nice parks though and some shopping centres if you need to do some shopping.

I’d say Bangalore is a good stopping point or half way point in India if you need some Westernisation!

Recommended Accommodation:  I stayed in  Blooms Room  Indiranagar and really loved it! Otherwise there is a  Zostel Hostel  &   Backpacker Panda Hostel  in Indiranagar too.

This is a super long post but I hope it gives you some real insights into what each place in India is like from where I visited and I visited most of the major tourist places in India!

I will be going back to India and will continue to keep this updated so make sure you bookmark it for future use!

There’s a beautiful story behind Arnab Maity’s blog, The Wireless Wanderer . It began as a way to help Maity’s mother, who instilled in him her passion for traveling, to journey virtually with the aid of her son’s words and pictures. More and more followers began contacting Maity to tell him how decisively The Wireless Wanderer had inspired them to hit the road. And so the blog took on greater dimensions and significance.

Her aim is to provide travellers to India with factually correct, valuable information, including places of interest, best times to visit, what to pack, vaccination requirements and everything in between.

It is the human moments he lives for – because he finds fulfilment and happiness through his many interactions with local people. Take a look at his impressive blog, The Wanderer , and you’ll feel his passion for nations of the world.

Thommen Jose

We love the blog’s snappy name, Wanderink – so let’s introduce the man behind it, Thommen Jose. This traveller’s posts are all about driving ecotourism, and focus on the challenges faced by local people – he highlights what we can do to better understand local culture and traditions while becoming more conscious, more responsible travellers.

This blog is a perfect port of call if you’re a lover of history and culture, looking for considered insights into the most fascinating destinations in India.

Nisha and Vasu

Nisha and Vasu are a dynamic blogger couple from Mumbai who photograph and write about their (extensive) global travels for their blog entitled Le Monde, the Poetic Travels . They’ve explore more than 45 countries, with Europe and Asia well covered, writing about some less generic angles, from the best group folk dances in a variety of Indian states, to the more mainstream pieces on where to celebrate Christmas in Switzerland. Their zesty words have also appeared on Lonely Planet, while Nisha has also made a video with Yahoo.

Shubham (Shoebum) Mansingka

In a search for relief from a serious asthmatic condition, Rajasthan-born Shubham ( Shoebum ) Mansingka travelled around India, from the Himalayas to Kerala, with a few forays abroad. He updates his followers on off-the-beaten-path places, and maintains a strong focus on sustainability as well as responsible tourism. The goal is always full immersion in local culture, spending very little and leaving no litter behind.

Mridula Dwivedi

Based in Gurgaon, North India, Mridula Dwivedi took 12 months out of her full-time job as a professor. One year turned into five as she sought more time to travel around India with occasional trips abroad. Her colourful blogs cover fascinating cultural aspects of her home country, such as the intricately carved Ramkund stepwell (pond) in Gujarat state. She also has intriguing lowdowns from journeys further afield, such as her trip to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, focusing on food and museums.

1. Affiliate Marketing : When it comes to affiliate marketing, there are numerous choices for travel bloggers. The travel industry has so many various aspects that you can advertise, analyze, and recommend. People are interested in knowing about anything from where to stay to how to get there to what to wear or bring.

It would be best if you thought about your special niche within the world of travel blogging and who your audience is before you start. Which travel affiliate programs are best for your blog will be determined by this. There is luxury travel, adventure travel, road trips, hiking, camping, and even themed cruises. Different affiliate programs can cater to your particular niche and would be the most sensible choice. Promoting a five-star luxury hotel to travellers who enjoy staying in hostels, for example, is probably not going to be very effective.

Recommending goods and services becomes natural once you’ve established a strong rapport with your audience.

2. Ads on Your Website : Another fantastic option to monetize your travel blog through passive income is by placing ads. Ad revenue is based on traffic, so even though it may seem silly to include it at first, it’s preferable to do it right away because you never know when a post will go viral or receive a lot of traffic. Although there are several ad networks available, Google Adsense is one of the finest to use for beginners.

3. Sponsored Posts : When brands pay travel bloggers to essentially write a whole post about them, it is what is known as a sponsored post. Sponsored posts can be announcement-style posts that give you a lot of information about something to persuade you to visit the brand’s website and make the purchase, reviews of products that brands send bloggers, hotels those brands ask them to stay in, or tours that brands invite bloggers to participate in.

Cross-posting about sponsors on Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest, and Facebook is another revenue stream for travel bloggers, but only if they can show businesses in their media kit that their followers on those platforms are engaged.

In addition to this, we would also like you to check our latest blog, where we have listed some of the top fashion bloggers in India. Do have a look and let us know if you find it helpful.

Travel bloggers can make money with affiliate marketing, ads on the website, and sponsored posts.

Travel bloggers, on average, can earn Rs. 7,500 – Rs. 750,000 per month.

All the best Indian travel bloggers are a prime example of this. Some even take it so seriously and end up making a living out of it, which indeed is the best occupation that one can have. Travel brings new experiences and connects new people.

It makes the world a better place by bringing harmony and bringing together various cultures and traditions. Besides, tourism is also one of the most significant sources of income for a country.

Egypt, Bali, Indonesia, Australia , Europe are some of the places that can be named. 

When people take up travel as a hobby and passion, they tend to write about their experiences which are then shared with others. They believe by doing so; they can make people aware and give them a taste of how travel is excellent and also about various undiscovered places.

I Traveled Through Southern India for 2 Weeks Without Checking a Bag — These 14 Products Made It a Breeze

These travel essentials come recommended by someone who has been traveling to Asia for 15 years.

We independently evaluate all recommended products and services. If you click on links we provide, we may receive compensation. Learn more .

Travel + Leisure / Madison Woiten

For the last 15 years (with a brief exception for the COVID-19 pandemic), my family and I have celebrated Christmas and New Year’s abroad in Africa or Asia. From Madagascar, Indonesia, and Tanzania to Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore, I’ve gotten used to spending two weeks during the holidays in warm, muggy climates, swapping coats and boots for sandals and flowy dresses .

This year, my family and I spent two weeks bouncing around India’s southwestern state of Kerala, nicknamed “God’s own country” for the richness of its natural beauty . From misty mountain towns and river-framed cities to urban metropolises and the roaring sandy coast of the Arabian Sea, the a trip filled with constant movement and changing climates, requiring gear, accessories, and clothing that could accommodate everything (think: versatile travel bags , one-and-done outfits , and more). 

And, as someone who is prone to overpacking, I wanted to challenge myself to only bring a carry-on suitcase and a personal item in an effort to travel light — a skill that I have yet to master since becoming a travel writer. These are the 14 travel essentials that topped my packing list, and ensured that my whirlwind ,two-week trip was smooth and effortless – even with just a carry-on. 

R. Vivimos Women’s Long-sleeve Midi Dress

I had three requirements when packing my wardrobe for my trip: stylish, breathable, and modest. These Amazon long-sleeved bohemian-style dresses (thankfully) satisfied them all. As someone just under 5 feet, 1 inches, I was initially worried that the length and oversized style would dwarf my small frame, but I was pleasantly surprised when they only came up to mid-shin. I purchased three styles and colors, and wore them while exploring the city of Kochi and the mountain town of Munnar. 

Despite being long-sleeved, they were breathable and comfortable, and they helped me survive the oppressive Indian heat with optimal sun coverage. The dress comes in 35 different color and print variations that can be worn during the summer, fall, or spring, so it’s a versatile wardrobe staple for any traveler. 

Topbag Family Passport Holder 

I’m a triple citizen of Italy, Ireland, and the United States, and, as an anxious flier, I always travel with all three of my passports, just in case. That’s why I use this family passport holder to safely secure my three passports and other important documents in one easy-to-reach place. 

It can hold up to six passports, which is convenient for families or friends traveling together. The passport holder also comes with a cash pocket and six card slots, which I use to stash away my other forms of identification, bills, loose change, past flight tickets, and my Italian SIM card for when I return home to Rome. But that’s not all: it also has a strap that you can wear around your wrist and a back pocket large enough to fit an iPhone, so you can have all of your major belongings on you in one place (and it doubles as a secure sling bag if you're not a fan of big purses). It helps make the chaos of traveling just a little more organized. 

Prite Corduroy Tote Bag

I collect tote bags, especially for when I travel, so when I received this large, olive-green corduroy one for Christmas, it was a match made in tote heaven. It has a zippered closure that I appreciated for keeping my valuable items from tumbling out. And, for those who love pockets – well, you’re in luck: The tote has a large outside pocket that can close magnetically, two interior slip pockets, and one ample interior zippered pocket which I used to secure my wallet, passports, and keys.

I carried this tote around with me everywhere during my trip, and was able to fit my passports, sunglasses, Kindle Fire, lip balms, earphones, chargers, mints, a 32-ounce HydroJug tumbler, and deodorant, all with plenty of room to spare. The large 18-inch by 15-inch by 4-inch tote is made with durable corduroy and is sturdy enough to carry heavier items like books and laptops, which is what I’ve been using it for since my trip. 

VibiVenezia Women's Timeless Rosso Velvet Slippers

Vibivenezia

Friulane, or furlane, are popular Venetian velvet slippers that date as far back as the 19th century. They’re a staple in every Italian woman’s closet and add a pop of color and playful elegance to any outfit, which is why I wear mine all the time when I travel. They’re also very comfortable, especially since I had my favorite cobbler in Rome add another layer of rubber to the soles for extra cushioning.

I love the burst of color that they give my outfits, and my orange pair paired especially well with one of the long-sleeved dresses that I purchased for my trip in shades of yellow and orange. I buy most of my friulane from small boutiques when I’m home in Italy, but VibiVenezia is a popular Italian brand that offers the slippers in a literal rainbow of colors and styles. No need to worry – they ship to the United States, so you can wear a small piece of Italy on your feet, too.

HydroJug 32-ounce Tumbler 

I’m especially horrible at remembering to drink water during long flights, which is likely why I always feel like a wretched, dried husk after traveling. I’ve gotten better at hydrating myself since purchasing a mini, 32-ounce HydroJug tumbler. I usually fill it using water fountains at the airport to ensure that I have enough to keep my body happy while up in the air. This was especially important during my many long flights to India, and even more so upon arriving, as my family and I had to be careful of the drinking water we consumed. 

The hotels we stayed at provided bottles of purified drinking water, which I used to fill up my HydroJug while we were out exploring. This not only ensured that I was staying hydrated in the unforgiving heat, but also that I was consuming safe drinking water. HydroJugs come with the option to purchase a sleeve and strap that can be worn around your person for a hands-free experience, which is especially useful for trips where you’re moving around a lot. 

Asia Palomba

Longbida Women's Cropped Denim Jacket

While the majority of my trip called for a summer wardrobe, there was one occasion that required slightly warmer attire. My family and I spent two days in Munnar, a mountain town nestled between sprawling emerald-green tea plantations and lush forests. The higher altitude was pleasantly chilly, especially at night and in the early morning. Although it was a welcome respite from the heat, I needed to stay warm, and my cropped, faded denim jacket did just the trick.

Although mine can technically be classified as “vintage,” as it was passed down to me from my mother, I found this affordable version at Amazon that comes in 16 different colors and patterns and is easy to pack (or wear on a plane if you're trying to save luggage space). 

Havaianas Mini Bag

I spent a week soaking up some much-needed vitamin D rays in the coastal town of Kovalam, and this water-resistant Havaianas mini bag was wrapped around my wrist every day. Made with durable silicone, this small, colorful bag is a staple of mine for any beach outing. I mostly use it to safely store my iPhone from sand and water, but it’s also doubled as a no-frills purse for my wallets, keys, and lip balms. It was gifted to me by my Brazilian friend nearly a decade ago, and it’s accompanied me all over the world, from Greece and Sardinia to Thailand and Indonesia – and it still looks brand new.

Sun Bum Lip Balm SPF 30 3-pack 

As someone who is unfortunately prone to lip blisters after prolonged exposure to the sun, I always have SPF lip balms on deck. Sun Bum’s lip balms have recently become a favorite of mine, not just for their high protection, but also for their tropical flavors that release a burst of summer whenever I twist off their caps. Each gluten-free and vegan lip balm is packed with aloe vera, cocoa butter, and vitamin E, so they roll on super smooth and keep my lips soft and hydrated throughout the day. 

I bought this three-pack ahead of my trip, and almost used them all down to the nub. Part of my excessive use may have been because of how nice they smelled (and tasted), but regardless, I was relieved that my laying in the sun like a lizard didn’t result in any sun blisters. 

Anrabess Women’s Loose Spaghetti Strap Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are one of my favorite go-to summer outfits for a breathable, comfortable, and stylish look. I have a bordeaux-colored one that I purchased years ago from Urban Outfitters that I wear to near tatters every summer for these reasons. I, of course, brought this jumpsuit on my trip with me and paired it with black lace-up sandals for more formal events such as New Year’s Eve. For most of my trip, however, flip-flops were my standard footwear. 

While the exact jumpsuit I own can’t be found online anymore, there is this affordable Amazon option that has more than 2,000 five-star ratings. Available in 25 colors and patterns with sizes ranging from S to 2XL, it's an especially versatile and traveler-loved staple that I’m looking into trying myself once summer comes around.

Miady Dual USB Portable Chargers 2-pack

These pocket-sized dual USB chargers have been a boon during my travels, and my trip through India was no exception. There were a couple of days when my family and I spent hours traveling between cities, so these portable chargers helped juice up our phones throughout the day. I’ve also used them to power up other devices such as my Kindle Fire and iPad, so it's an especially helpful travel essential to always have on you.

Available in a variety of colors, each charger has two USB ports that can charge two devices at the same time, so they’re useful for traveling with friends and family. But don’t just take it from me — these durable, slim portable chargers have over 75,000 five-star ratings at Amazon.

Tessan Universal Travel Adapter

Any frequent flier knows the value of a good travel adapter, and this Amazon one is one of my favorites. The plug works in over 150 countries, from Italy and Dubai to China and New Zealand — so you know that you’ll always be covered no matter how far you travel. It also comes with four USB ports that can charge up to five devices at a time. Because of its versatility, I was able to easily share it with members of my family, which significantly cut down the amount of arguments over outlets that we had during our trip. Compact and lightweight, it can easily fit into any carry-on or personal item, which is why it’s always one of the travel essentials I pack first.

Twelve South AirFly Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter

I can never sleep on airplanes, so watching movies is one of the best ways for me to pass the long hours. The earphones they hand out on the airplanes have always bothered my ears, not to mention the subpar audio quality they provide that makes watching anything a frustrating experience. That’s why I was intrigued when I came across this traveler-loved, pocket-sized bluetooth audio transmitter . The Airfly device seamlessly connects your wireless earphones to the airplane’s seatback television (and can also be used to connect to tablets, hotel gym TVs, etc.), which has vastly improved my international flight experience. 

The many flights and hours it took to reach India literally flew by (pun intended) because of this small but mighty device. I currently have the device that can only connect one pair of headphones, but I’m looking into purchasing the dual AirFly version for when I travel with my partner.

Béis The Mini Weekender Bag

This Mini Weekender has quickly become my favorite carry-on for international trips since I received it for Christmas. Durable, compact, and sleek, it’s perfect for maximizing your limited packing space when only traveling with carry-on items — there’s a reason why it’s universally loved by flight attendants . 

It especially came in handy when returning from India, as it was able to hold the majority of the souvenirs that I had purchased during my two weeks there. Its structured bottom shoe compartment, which is trimmed with stylish vegan leather, was useful for holding all of my sandals, slippers, and flip-flops, which freed up much-needed space in my carry-on suitcase. I have trips to Ireland, Italy, Portugal, and Morocco planned within the next few months, and I’m looking into using compression packing cubes to maximize the Mini Weekender’s potential.

Ray-Ban Classic Aviator Sunglasses

The Ray-Ban classic aviators have been my go-to pair of sunglasses since I was 13, so it should come as no surprise that they came to India with me. They’re lightweight, easy to pack, and stylish — and, not to mention, great at shielding my eyes from the harsh sunlight. I have the gold-tinted shades that I chose to match my coloring and the gold jewelry that I always wear (us Italians really do love our gold).

Based on my experience, Ray-Ban sunglasses are worth the investment. I’ve had my pair for the last 13 years, and aside from a few small nicks, they still look brand new. But for those who don’t want to splurge, there’s this affordable Amazon-loved pair from the brand Pro Acme that’ll give you that same "Top Gun" feel.
