Our Quest to Discover India’s Hidden Gems

Vanakkam! (Greetings in Tamizh)

We’re Ramya, Prasanna, and Sahana—a family from India traveling and exploring our nation’s epic heritage, learning and growing every step of the way.

Like many of you, we hustle through the week with our 9-to-5s, school, and grocery runs. But amidst that organized chaos, we are constantly charting our next adventure. Balancing work, life, and travel goals is a struggle, but we promise, it’s SO worth it. Our mission is to show you that travel, even in small doses, can be life-changing. We share the mind-blowing forts, jaw-dropping temples, and rich history we discover—creating cherished family memories and sharing all the logistics so you can do it too.

So, buckle up and join us on our warrior quests!

Ramya – The Mastermind & Cultural Explorer

Hello! I’m Ramya, the Itinerary Mastermind behind our family’s travels.

For me, travel brought in a break from monotony, a need for organized planning, and always something spectacular to look forward to. Though I never had the opportunity to travel much growing up, a first trip to Sikkim, exploring its glorious white mountains and lakes 11 years ago, ignited a lifelong passion.

My core travel expertise lies in meticulously planning efficient, culturally rich itineraries. I specialize in seeking out the soul of a destination, with a particular love for India’s:

  • Ancient Art and Culture
  • Architectural Heritage (especially lesser-known sites)
  • Wilderness Destinations (forests and waterfalls)

I handle the complex logistics so you can focus on the wonder. I also infuse the human emotion, the “why,” and the family perspective into our stories. My greatest joy is seeing the happiness and wonder triple up when we discover something truly beyond imagination as a family.

Prasanna – The Fact-Checker & Mountain Man

This is Prasanna, my co-pilot who is (almost) always on board with my plans and the primary Writer and Technical Expert for this website.

As a quiet and detail-oriented person, Prasanna brings precision and clarity to our blog posts. He authors most of our detailed guides, providing the essential facts, geographical context, and logistical breakdowns—what we did, how we did it, what went well, and what didn’t. His incredible topographic sense is a lifesaver on the road!

Prasanna’s passions guide our destination choices, focusing on:

  • High-Altitude Adventures (he loves the calm of the mountains)
  • Deep History and Cultural Narratives
  • Pure Nature Escapes

Crucially, he’s also our packing specialist—a necessary skill for any family trip! Like me, he had rarely traveled before our Sikkim honeymoon, and to this day, his image standing in silence, staring at those calm winter mountains, reminds us of the profound significance of our travels.

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 🙂
