About Me

I am a student/entrepreneur/travel enthusiast from India and ended up working with MakeMyTrip- India's largest travel website :) I love talking to foreign travelers coming to India and discussing culture, music, food and everything else under the sun. Have made lots of friends in the process and learnt a lot too. Currently I'm working to solve the problems that foreign travelers face in India through my startup. So if you are looking for great budget hotels, transportation (cabs), rail ticket bookings, expert guides I can definitely help you.
Message me if you need something or if you just want to hangout and have some beer! I stay at a rented place so currently not able to host travelers, although would love to do so in the near future. Have a great day and happy traveling!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked for 8 days in Singalila range of Himalayas in the extreme cold of December.. Reached Sandakphu- highest peak of West Bengal (12000ft or 3636m). Went on to trek to Phalut to experience a heavenly sunrise (check my pics). In the middle of the trek, found out that I had no more money and couldn't buy food. So survived the next 4 days on 1 meal per day (was carrying limited supply of Indian version of oats (locally called Sattu) and had to resort to that during dinner). Experienced the wonderful love and hospitality of the hill people of India.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been playing guitar from the past 7-8 years now. Always looking forward to have a musical soiree and learn more about music and share whatever I know.

My cultural experiences, silence ( sometimes i love peace and quiet), Indian mythology stories, my music
