Travel blog

  5  Lakshmisharath.com Already an established journalist, Lakshmi Sharath switched her media desk job for a continued get-up-and-go life. Sharath beautifully journals her backpacking travel tales as she ventures to the nooks and crannies of India, where she magically weaves the magic of heritage, culture and mythology into something tangible for armchair travelers. She will keep you on the edge of that seat as she pens down her experiences of a deserted beach, or a town once swallowed by a cyclone, in her blog  Lakshmisharath.com . You won’t be surprised that this real and fresh approach has received her notoriety as a key India travel influencer, and is repeatedly quoted and featured in global and national publications, from National Geographic Traveller to the Deccan Herald.

  2  Desitraveler.com Prasad Np has been dedicated to writing about India from the perspective of both his family – in comfort and style – and as a sole voyager in a more backpacking, fly-by-the-seat-of-his-pants approach. Brimming with  India travel tips  and dos and don’ts, you can search the blog by specific destination (or state), which is highly useful if you are wishing to go in-depth during your India travels. You might wish to avoid altitude sickness at  Ladakh in the Himalayas , or learn about how a specific festival in a specific Indian city ticks. This is the blog for you. What we love about  Desitraveler  is the fabulous photography – taken by the blogger’s own fair hands – that perfectly captures the spirit of India. Prasad NP has got it right: the journey is the destination!

  1  Traveltalesfromindia.in Mridula Dwivedi has been writing on her blog  Travel Tales from India  for almost 12 years now. It began with just articles about travel in India, but as she has expanded her horizon since she gave up her academic career and decided to focus solely on writing, her blog now covers articles from her personal travels outwith India. Which is just as well, as we need her wisdom. Whether it is about how to handle the  monsoons of Kerala  or where to stay in the  deserts of Rajasthan , this blog has you covered. Dwivedi has got something of an international reputation, having been featured by the BBC, and The Guardian.
