Who I am

A soldier who never stopped travelling

I spent twenty-eight years in the Indian Army and every leave, every posting, every spare weekend went into the road. Somewhere along the way the notes became a blog, the blog became a book, and planning journeys for other people became the work I enjoy most.

Confessions of a Traveloholic

Thirteen travelogues, practical travel tips and real backpacking experiences from India and abroad — with a personal review letter from Amitabh Bachchan. My second book, Confessions of a Renegade Rider, is on the way.

What I believe

“Not all who wander are lost — some are just Comfortably Numb.”

Every journey is more than reaching a destination. It is the road, the detours, the roadside tea, the strangers who become friends and the silence of a mountain pass at first light.

As a travel planner

Let me plan your journey

After a hundred road journeys I know what a route really costs, where to stop and what not to carry. I help travellers, families and riding groups plan honest itineraries — no packaged holidays, no padding.
