- A treasured travel souvenir?
A hand-carved walnut wood box from my state of Kashmir, holds more stories than stuff.
- If you could time travel, which year would you relive?
The year I led my first group tour on a trek to Zanskar in Ladakh. I was nervous but the thrill was ecstatic and pure magic.
- A destination that completely surprised you?
Havelock in Andamans
- What’s your hidden talent?
Singing
- An advice you would give to your 18-year-old self?
Take that solo trip on a Motorbike to some remote areas of Kinnaur, Ladakh or Zanskar. Travel teaches you more than what you can learn in a classroom.
- A travel trend you secretly wish would disappear?
Overly staged “candid” travel reels. Travel is to be felt and experienced, not filtered.
