The backwaters of Kerala are one of those places you hear about so often, you start to wonder if they’re a bit overhyped. They’re not. This entire region is a network of rivers, lakes, lagoons, canals, and inlets – stretching over 900 kilometres – running almost parallel to the Arabian…

I almost didn’t do a houseboat experience in Kerala. Not because I didn’t want to – but because I left it too late. After calling 8–10 operators on the same morning I wanted to go, I realised two things very quickly: one, this is the main experience here, and two,…

Hi guys! I finally went on an eating spree to Bangalore – a city that has among the best food in the country, however, thus far, I had never spent more than a day or two there. This time, I went for 7-8 days and had a whole agenda plotted…
