Follow your Passion and Travel to a new place every 3-4 months and Eat, Travel, Live and REPEAT. That’s my mantra to live a life without regrets.

This is a blog about my travel escapades, food trail stories and some budget travel tips for all those who have been bitten by the travel bug.

After relocating to Delhi in 2016, I Re – Discovered the travel bug within me and the realised that I had become a hardcore foodie. Moving to Delhi basically catapulted my travel escapades and I started this blog back in April 2016, when sitting in my office cubicle one day thinking about my, then recent trip to Mussoorie, a hill station in the state of Uttarakhand in India.

I started this blog back in 2016, with the sole purpose of sharing my views and some tips and recommendations, about the different destinations I travels to and the unique experiences I have, to inspire others to travel as well. I has been blogging for over 8 years now, and in order to get a better understanding of the tourism industry, I pursued my MSc in International Tourism and Hospitality Management, from one of the elite universities in the UK, and graduated First Class in October 2019.

I prefers being outdoors surrounded by nature, than being in the city. I love the Himalayas, and also started the High On Himalayas community on Instagram back in 2017, which reaching a good 25k+ loyal followers on Instagram. And one day, I lost access, just like that. All the effort and time put in for 2 years, just went down the drain. It was a shattering moment.

However, the community is back on Instagram under the name High on Himalayas Official, and I launched the website too.

My love for being surrounded by nature took me to Maldives, back in January 2017, where I found my love for Scuba Diving and got my Open Water Certification, but, now in 2023 I am a certified Dive Master, having dived in Maldives, Similan Islands in Thailand, Gili Islands in Indonesia and India.

My passion for travel and food has garnered many readers and followers on these websites, over the past few years.
