01
Country basics + visa
When to go, currency, and a clear visa breakdown for Indian and 90+ other passports — with links to the official portal.
Guides
Places worth pinning.
Day-by-day itineraries, hand-picked map pins, food and stay shortlists, and the long reads from each trip — built from places I'd send a friend.
What's inside each guide
A country page that opens into region notebooks
02
Regions, with live weather
Each region has its own page — current temperature, vibe, transport tips, best months, and what it's known for at a glance.
03
Real map, real pins
Every region opens to a Leaflet map with hand-picked pins — eat, stay, see, do — colour-coded by category, all with Google Maps links.
04
Filterable + exportable
Pill-filter the pins by what you care about (food / stay / activities / sights). Export the full list to CSV for offline use.
05
Long-form stories
The trip in essay form — meals that changed my mind, mornings that earned the trip, buses I shouldn't have caught.
06
Updated, not abandoned
Cafes close, prices move, ferries get rerouted. These pages get revisited every few months — pins, hours, and notes refreshed.

How these guides are made
01
02
03
Every pin on these maps is a place I sat in, walked through, ate at, or watched the sunset from. No press trips, no affiliate links, no "10 hidden gems you must see" — just the version of each country I'd send a friend.
I go slow.
Five days in one village beats five countries in five days. The pins reflect that.
I pay my own way.
No comped hotels, no sponsored meals. The recommendations have no other agenda.
I update what changes.
Cafes close, prices move, ferries get rerouted. These pages get revisited every few months.

Three guides are in the notebook stage. Drop your email and I'll send a one-line note when each goes live.

Sri Lanka
A two-week loop — Ella, Galle, the southern coast — built around the train ride that makes the country famous.

The Italian Lakes
Como, Garda, and the long lunches between — a week of ferries, aperitivo, and villas you walk past, not stay in.

Rajasthan road trip
A 10-day drive — Udaipur to Jaisalmer via the back roads. Forts, thalis, and the desert at sundown.
