About us
Our Quest to Discover India’s Hidden Gems
Vanakkam! (Greetings in Tamizh)
We’re Ramya, Prasanna and Sahana, a simple family from India travelling and exploring India’s epic heritage sites among many other things, learning and growing along the way!
We hustle during the week, we do our 9-5s, school, classes, grocery shopping and all of it, but we’re also planning for our next travel amidst all this.
Balancing work, life, and travel goals can be a struggle, but trust us, it’s SO worth it. We’re talking mind-blowing forts, jaw-dropping temples, and enough history to fill a documentary. The amazing photos you capture stay as a treasure that can be looked at any time in the future – but that’s only a bonus!
Most importantly, these adventures become some of our most cherished family memories.
So, buckle up and join us on our warrior quests! We’ll be navigating bustling bazaars, swooning over architectural masterpieces, and sharing all our tips for squeezing the most out of those precious vacation days.
We’re here to say that travel, even in small doses, can be life-changing.
Ramya
Hello! I am Ramya, I am the mastermind behind all our travels, at least I like to think so!
For the lazy girl in me, travel has brought in that organized chaos and break from monotony and it always gives me something to look forward to. As I grew up, I never had the opportunity to travel. I in fact never knew that I actually liked to travel. However, when we travelled for the first time to Sikkim and explored its glorious white mountains, passes and lakes, I knew that my aspiration and love for travel was something that wasn’t going to fizzle out soon.
It’s been 11 years since our trip to Sikkim happened and since then, every year, I look forward to getting our holiday calendars in hand and am all set to chart out our next trip.
When we travel as a family, the happiness, the wonder and the excitement, everything just triples up – when I say everything, its everything! From the laughter, to the wonder, all the way to tiny quarrels and squabbles!
The days when we get to see something beyond our imagination, something that makes us feel what we’ve never felt before and sometimes realize the significance and insignificance of our being, those days are what makes me truly believe in travel and fall in love with it all over again. Each time, every time.
Prasanna
This is Prasanna. He is the one who is on board with all of my plans (well, almost all of it). He shares his holiday calendar the moment it is in his inbox as he knows how vital that piece of information is! Just like me, he hadn’t travelled much before our trip to Sikkim (did I mention that it was our honeymoon?!) and for the silent and ‘keeping to himself’ kind of a person that he is, Sikkim just was the perfect start. I would wake up most mornings and he would be standing on the balcony staring at the calm winter mountains. To this day, I can close my eyes and that image just comes to me.
Prasanna is the one who writes most of the blogs on this website. He writes facts, what we did, how we did it, what went well and what didn’t. And I try to infuse some “human emotion” into the blog. His topographic sense is spot on and that is so helpful!
Sahana
The most influential traveler of the group. Makes key decisions 😉 regarding all wildlife sanctuaries and zoos that we visit.
She is an avid reader, and ensures not one information board by ASI or UNESCO outside the heritage places is left unread.
She is the reason we never miss beaches and animals during our travels. Loves to explore, hates it when I take her photos and a very private person 🙂
