If you’re looking for India travel blogs, inspiration, and informational guides, you’re in the right place. We’re Indians who have lived in India for 28 years and travelled around the country extensively for at least five years.

In fact, we’ll go out on a limb and say that Maharashtra (which doesn’t feature at the top of most India bucket lists) offers the highest diversity of attractions.

India has long been equated with tigers and elephants, but it is so much more than that. It is a land of stunning diversity, chaos, colours and spirituality.
