We are Ramya, Prasanna and Sahana.
A family from Bengaluru that has been travelling India seriously for over fifteen years — with full-time jobs, school schedules, and never enough annual leave. We didn’t plan to become the people who spend their weekends researching ASI excavation reports and arguing about whether a temple was worth three hours or thirty minutes. It just kept happening, trip after trip, until it became who we are.
TravelThreeMuch is what fifteen years of going back looks like.
RAMYA The itinerary architect. Every trip begins weeks before departure — with site-specific research, crowd pattern notes, and a day-by-day plan accounting for opening hours, light conditions, and the exact moment a particular carving catches the afternoon sun.
Also the one who makes everyone stop walking for the photograph.
PRASANNA The researcher and writer. Goes to primary sources before every trip — ASI reports, state archaeology records, epigraphic studies. Notices what the guides skip and what the plaques get wrong.
Most likely to be found reading an excavation report at midnight the night before a site visit.
SAHANA The honest reviewer. Has been travelling with us since she was small enough to fall asleep on beach shores on our lap.
Will tell you immediately and without diplomacy which fort was worth the climb and which was not, which museum had one interesting thing, and which meal on the trip she still thinks about. The most useful person on any itinerary review.
How TravelThreeMuch Started
Every time we planned a trip, we’d find ourselves deep in a research spiral – cross-referencing blogs, tourism websites, forum posts, trying to piece together something coherent.
Most sites covered the same places in the same way. The “offbeat” recommendations were barely offbeat. The detail that would actually help you plan – timing, context, what’s worth it, what isn’t was missing or buried.
And then there were the places nobody had written about at all. Not because they weren’t extraordinary, but because they were hard to reach, poorly preserved, or simply hadn’t found their writer yet. Unakoti. Chobimura. The Siddhachal Jain caves at Gwalior. Places that stopped us completely and that we almost didn’t find because the information barely existed in details.
That’s the gap TravelThreeMuch was built to fill. Not a travel blog in the traditional sense, but more like the research we wished had existed when we were planning our own trips. Written carefully, from personal visits, with the detail that actually makes a difference.
