Hello my name is manju, I am a dedicated traveler driven by a deep passion for exploration and discovery. Over the years, I have undertaken numerous solo expeditions across the Himalayas, immersing myself in high-altitude landscapes and remote terrains. My journeys often lead me to the timeless temples of South India, the dense silence of untamed forests, and the rich cultural tapestries woven into everyday local life. I value authentic encounters—sharing conversations with people, understanding their traditions, and experiencing their food and culture firsthand. When a place resonates with me, I return without hesitation, seeking a deeper connection each time.

Formerly a college professor, I made the decisive choice to leave academia and pursue travel full-time. My travels have taken me extensively across India, including crossing every major high-altitude pass in Ladakh and Himachal on a 120cc scooter—an adventure that continues to shape my resilience and spirit. Today, I remain committed to exploring new horizons, driven by curiosity, courage, and an unwavering love for the road.
