Akshay Mehndiratta's Culinary Journey Across India

New Delhi [India], April 27: Join Akshay Mehndiratta as he embarks on an exhilarating culinary adventure across India, exploring the rich tapestry of flavors that the country has to offer. From the robust, dairy-laden dishes of Punjab to the delicate mustard-infused flavors of Bengal and the coconut-rich stews of Kerala, each region unfolds its unique culinary secrets. Through his food blog, Akshay Mehndiratta not only shares his discoveries and the diverse recipes he encounters but also connects deeply with his heritage. This series will take you on a journey through India's vibrant street food scenes, traditional home cooking, seasonal specialties, and innovative fusion dishes, all while providing insightful cooking tips and celebrating the joy of Indian cuisine.

1. Regional Cuisine Exploration

Ever since Akshay started his food blog, India's rich culinary culture has fascinated him. His adventure began in the lush fields of Punjab amidst the heavy smell of fresh spices roasting for dal makhani. He found out that Punjabi food is all about strong ingredients and a lot of dairy products. Going east, he delved into Bengali cuisine with its delicate flavors of fish and mustard. Each state from Kerala's coconut stew to Rajasthan's heavy meat dishes had its cooking secret which unfolded as he traveled across the country. It worked to not only raise his taste buds but also deepen his connection to his ancestry thus enriching his diverse flavored blog.

2. Street Food Adventures

On Akshay Mehndiratta 's next culinary escapade, he went deeper into the vibrant world of Indian street food . The streets were dominated by vada pav in Mumbai: a spicy potato fritter clad in a soft bun that was topped with tangy chutneys for that extra flavor. Every city had its own choice: Kolkata's puchkas, Hyderabad's mirchi bhajis, Delhi's famous chaat, etc. Akshay Mehndiratta described these tastes thus showing what street life in India was like as each corner offered you an experience of her ever-changing urban palate

3. There are vegetarian delicacies.

Vegetarian dishes in India constituted the main topic of Akshay Mehndiratta's blog; this was a reflection of the rich vegetarian food s available in that country. That diversity took care of the variety of smoked paneer tikka from the north to the cooling days in the south. For example, he spent much time with local chef s who taught him how to cook Kashmiri dum aloo and Gujarati dhokla. His detailed blogs on these vegetarian dishes not only taught his readers about the huge range of Indian vegetarian cuisine but also inspired many people to become vegan.

4. Food Fusion Trials

Akshay Mehndiratta culinary journey introduced him to experiencing different cultures through food , which was exhilarating at times because it involved fusion cooking. He first came across Indo-Chinese food while dining at one of Chennai's busiest restaurants where he ordered chilli paneer. This way, there were new horizons for culinary approaches by blending two distinct cooking traditions characterized by Indian spices and Chinese flavors. Back in India, he tried out tandoori pizza and masala spaghetti which immediately appealed to his blog fans. These cross-cultural cooking attempts were not just about mixing two cuisines but they were also meant to unite people from different nations through their stomachs.

5. Healthy Eating Alternatives

Akshay Mehndiratta went more into food blogging and saw the demand for healthier choices of Indian recipes. His audience wanted nutritious alternatives that didn't compromise on taste, as he discovered. He began to tweak traditional recipes such as Aloo Gobi by using less oil, substituting yogurt with cream in some curries, and incorporating grains like millet or quinoa. Many of his readers were touched by his series on healthy Indian cooking, especially people interested in having a balanced diet without giving up their favorite flavors.

6. Seasonal Specialties

Various festivals are celebrated in India during different seasons bringing distinctive food s related to them. Akshay Mehndiratta looked forward to these occasions because he knew they would introduce new flavors to his followers. For Diwali, he had sweets like kaju katli and namak para which is a savory snack. The Holi occasion had colorful thandai and gujiyas with sweet stuffing while during Eid; there were biryanis full of flavor and sheer kormas which are creamy sauces made from meat fat. Christmas was marked by cakes that tasted of spiced plums made by an Indian baker called plum cakes". Akshay Mehndiratta allowed his fans to celebrate these holidays authentically irrespective of their location worldwide through these seasonal dishes.

7. Hints for Cooking at Home

To reduce the complications of Indian cooking, food _in_mai/s/26604354" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Akshay Mehndiratta had a blog. He gave useful advice on making traditional dishes well such as how to season a dish with spices and how to make poofy chapattis by kneading dough perfectly. His tips about kitchen shortcuts including cooking dals and curries quickly in a pressure cooker were loved especially by professionals who had little time at their disposal. Step-by-step guides on biryani, palak paneer, and other complex dishes made those recipes easy for beginner cooks to follow. Among his followers, there was high regard for the visual aids and troubleshooting hints provided which could help them understand common kitchen mistakes.

8. Food Travel Guides

Since India is an immense flavor canvas, Akshay Mehndiratta sought to paint its whole picture through detailed travel guides on his blog. The sea food restaurants in Goa and kebab houses in Lucknow, abroad he has given the best locations where one can indulge in indigenous flavors in India. Each guide comprised suggestions of eateries together with recommendations on places where local markets offer food stuffs and special food feasts are held. These manuals have been used by his readers while planning their culinary trips so that this experience would be shared within the community thereby giving others a chance to enrich collective knowledge with their opinions.

9. Cooking with Traditional Ingredients

As if flipping through the pages of an old-fashioned cookbook, Akshay Mehndiratta looked into traditional Indian ingredients. He studied various spices, from widely known ones like saffron and turmeric to lesser-known ones like asafoetida and amchur. His recipes focused on lentils and grains which are key components in the diets of Indians but they were also innovative. It was a series that informed his readers about the health gains of these commodities; it also motivated them to integrate them into their daily cooking endeavors.

10. Dessert Diaries

To talk about Indian food without mentioning its sweet dishes would be an incomplete exploration. 'Dessert Diaries' became one of Akshay Mehndiratta's most popular sections of his blog. In this part, he took his audience through a process of making very syrupy jalebis, rasgullas that were fluffy, and gulab jamuns that were decadent. However, Instead of just going with tradition, he experimented with some modern twists such as saffron-flavored cheesecakes or barfis covered with chocolate. Those posts were more than simple recipes; they were tales of festivity recorded (in books) and shared amongst themselves in homes by loved ones hence each mouthful was worth remembering for life long period.

Akshay Mehndiratta's exploration of India's culinary landscape has been a game changer. With every blog post and recipe he shared, he started to get closer to understanding the complex tapestry of tastes that define his homeland. And therefore, we still have more tastes for discovery and more dishes for him to share so must thank his readers for being part of this yummy adventure!

I'm very interested right now in learning about molecular cuisine and how that can be applied to Indian dishes. I'm a huge fan of Gaggan Anand and his restaurant Gaggan and seeing what he's done has inspired me to try some of these things myself. I just purchased some equipment for my culinary experiments so we'll see what happens. That is my main interest. I am mainly a vegetarian/vegan , though I do eat a bit of fish on occasion since my husband now eats no meat but does eat fish. Because of that, I'm interested in fixing good vegan/vegetarian alternatives to his favorite comfort foods

Sadly, I am the only one in the family that has not gone to India, however when everyone else goes they stay with friends in Thiruvananthapuram, though my sister in law visits her nieces in Delhi . My sister in law started me cooking 30 years ago and I had older women in LA who took me under their wing and taught me too. I really started cooking the food of Kerala , because everyone brings back recipes for me and I really prefer the spice flavors of southern cooking.

Travel is like an addiction and you can never have enough of it. With every travel, you grow as an individual. My only advice would be to travel with an explorer’s open mind and be adaptable. The humbler and grounded you become, the more love you get in return. Also, travel for the love of travel not just for the GRAM.

3. Seema Gurnani

When talking about top travel and food bloggers, Seema Gurnani is the first name that pops up in the minds of individuals. Starting her journey of ‘Panda Reviewz’ in Vijayawada, this award-winning 24-year-old star quit her comfortable job and started to take the road of thrill and excitement. A zeal for exploring the nooks and new tastes is what keeps this young entrepreneur going!

My first, and the most memorable journey till date, was my first solo escape trip to Goa when I had just turned 16. The curiosity and passion to explore new destinations, cultures, and most importantly – the food. This resulted in a lifetime memorable trip.

Your favourite travel destination

Goa and Auroville remain my personal favourites among all the places I have visited in India. In abroad, Melaka (Malaysia) takes the crown. For yet-to-visit destinations, backpacking through Europe remains at the top of my wish list.

One travel gadget you always keep in your backpack

I’m Dora and my smartphone is the arsenal of my exploring tools. From local maps to translating languages, to capturing beautiful memories, to get all the updated information; Everything is possible because of this trustworthy companion.

Your favourite travel book/movie of all time

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Queen, Eat Pray Love

A piece of advice for all the wanderlust-ERS out there

Don’t wait for the perfect moment, take the moment and make it perfect by getting to where you wish to be. If your heart is set to travel, just pack up your bags, head out, and explore what all this planet has to give you that will make the moments and memories of your life.

A travel quote that always inspires you to travel

Travelling is brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comforts of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things. -air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.

4. Ajay Sood

A travel photographer by profession and passion, Ajay Sood is one of the top Indian travel bloggers of India. His Instagram feed is an array of incredible landscapes, people, streets, and architecture. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he has covered most of the continents during his travel.

I was 9 years old and my parents had to visit my grandparents’ place in Phagwara, which is a town 35km from my hometown, Ludhiana. My grandma was a brilliant cook. So, visiting her was always a treat. I insisted I’ll also come to Phagwara after school gets over. So, I travelled alone as a 9-year old. And, ever since, got hooked on travel.

That destination had remained on my bucket list for decades. It was only in late November 2017, when I finally visited Iceland. The place has all the magic I had expected. It has some of the largest glaciers in Europe you can snowmobile for miles on, craziest eerie ice caves that you can sing in, sprawling natural Jacuzzis (thermal baths) for sipping a chilled beer in arctic winters, Northern lights that remind you of a discotheque, caves filled with centuries-old lava, stunning landscape you can’t get enough of, gigantic waterfalls that inspire awe, and… and a large number of ‘Game of Thrones’ locations.

My iPhone with scores of apps that range from Translate Voice Pro (my go-to app in countries where very few can communicate in English), The Photographer’s Ephemeris (it tells me the sunrise/sunset time and direction of the sun at any spot I plan to shoot in), Night Sky (helps me find the Pole Star during my Astro-photography night outs), and many more.

Do you have a favourite travel book or a travel movie?

My favourite movie is ‘Into the wild’. The biographical story of Christopher from ‘Alexander Supertramp’ to ‘The Magic Bus’ is a story of someone who is a true explorer at heart. My favourite book is ‘Atlas Obscura’. As the foreword of the book mentions it, this book is not for travellers, but for explorers.

Here’s a money-saving travel hack. When abroad, don’t exchange currency. Use ATM. You’ll save around 8%. A travel quote that always inspires you to travel. Leave behind only footsteps. Bring back only memories.

5. Shivya Nath

A prominent name in the travel industry, Shivya needs no introduction. At the age of 23, she quit her comfortable and high-paying corporate job to travel the world. This solo female traveller has packed her life into a backpack and now inspiring people around the world to do what they love. She has travelled in parts of Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, the Caucasus region and the Indian subcontinent.

How does Shivya like to travel?

Shivya is an offbeat traveller who loves to explore the lesser-explored parts of the world. She likes to go slow while travelling, go under the skin of a place, talk to the locals, and live her stay. She’s usually seen travelling solo in the lesser-known countries and cities of Europe.

Tips to save money for travel?

1. Don’t do unnecessary shopping and find free hobbies to keep you entertained and busy at weekends. 2. Avoid eating out in restaurants and cafes. You can easily save INR 500 to INR 1000 a day. 3. Shivya recommends working online. 4. Sell the things you don’t need. 5. Get rid of that credit card and save for small and budget trips.

6. Ami Bhat

A restless ball of energy, Ami is a wanderer for life and one of the top Indian travel bloggers. She’s a photography enthusiast and a travel blogger by passion. Ami is a total sucker for heritage destinations, turquoise beaches, and lofty mountains. 

Honestly, I don’t recall my first journey. It was just a natural progression of things. However, my earliest memories of my travel for leisure abroad was with my parents as I toured the Far East (Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Philippines). It was our family holiday together and for some reason, though I was just 7, I remember it all.

I don’t have one, I have many and it keeps increasing. For now, Ladakh, Meghalaya, Bhutan, Gold Coast, and Udaipur.

My Camera. I just cannot travel without it.

My favourite movie I would say is Queen.

Travel not to tick off lists. Travel coz you want to enjoy what you see and experience.

Travelling is like Breathing.

7. Nivedith Gajapathy

In 2015, Nivedith Gajapathy quit his Digital Marketing job to explore the world. Other than being a traveller, Nivedith is an experienced collector, foodie, and tech-savvy guy. His blog offers insights into food, culture, and lifestyle of different communities around the world. Nivedith is among the most famous travel bloggers in India, and if you want some serious travel inspiration, you need to follow him on his journey.

I have been travelling with family all my life, but the trip that changed the way I travel was my solo trip to Malaysia, which actually made me realize that it is the journey that matters, not the destination and that’s when I started seriously documenting my experience on social media channels and blog as well.

My personal favourite has been Australia. Although I have just seen 0.1% of this beautiful country, I will be doing a solo 1-month-long trip to Australia again in the near future.

As a tech-freak, half of my baggage allowance goes into gadgets. When I travel, I primarily rely on my phone and DSLR.

My favorite travel movies are Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and EuroTrip.

A piece of advice for all the wanderlust-ERS out there .

Don’t Plan a trip, live it. I prefer doing impromptu trips and that’s where the journey counts.

Travel is the only thing that you buy, that makes you richer.

8. Umang Trivedi

One of the top travel bloggers of India, Umang Trivedi loves to explore the remote corners of the world. He’s an adventurer, mountain lover and an admirer of unspoiled nature. Umang has conquered mountain peaks like Rupin Pass and Stok Kangri.

For me, the discovery of beautiful landscapes and immersive experiences is very exhilarating. The urge to discover something new and unique, which is not possible in everyday life, prompted me to go on my first journey.

Bhutan would forever remain my favourite travel destination. In fact, I started writing about my travels after paying a visit to Bhutan . The surreal landscapes and friendly people with great hospitality left an everlasting impression on me.

I recently purchased a GoPro and since then, I have always made sure of keeping it. It’s very easy to handle and produces great results for both, photos and videos.

My favourite travel movie would be The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I love how he takes brave decisions in the breathtaking backdrop of Iceland and then continue to go on adventures that bring him closer to his purpose.

At least once, you should go somewhere unplanned. No bookings, no reservations, no itinerary. Just go and see where the road takes you. I used to plan my itineraries very intricately to not miss out on things. But, since I started travelling in an unplanned manner, I find my travels to be much more fulfilling.

“It’s not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.” – Edmund Hilary.

9. Abhinav Singh

Abhinav has travelled to more than 200 destinations in past 10 years in India and abroad. He was fired from his corporate job of 7 years for travelling too much. After about of depression and anxiety he changed his situation to advantage and became a successful travel blogger within the 1st year of blogging.

My first independent solo trip was to Chennai, Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry in 2010. It was an emotional journey as I was revisiting the place to re-live the special memories I made there some years ago. I loved managing everything on my own. The financial power—thanks to my first job—gave me the ability to do things my way in a new place. The freedom and the new sensory stimulations excited and inspired me. Since then I am hooked.

I have been to more than 200 places in India in the last 10 years and also visited many countries. However, Mumbai remains my favourite place. Ever since I have left it, I go back at least once a year to visit Mumbai. Goa, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh are also close to my heart.

One travel gadget you always keep in your backpack.

I keep it really simple. I can not travel without my DSLR and cellphone. Yes, I am a digital slave.

Your favourite travel book/movie of all time.

My favourite travel movies are, Dhanak, Ye Jawani Hai Diwani, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Wild, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Into The Wild.

A piece of advice for all the wanderlust-ERS out there. Stay humble about travel. Do not conquer mountains, love and protect it instead. Do not be in a hurry to travel too much too soon. Enjoy travel at a slow place. And most importantly, be a responsible traveller. Please do not take a ride on elephants, horses or buy plastic mineral water bottles.

A travel quote that always inspires you to travel. India is the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for all the shows of all the rest of the globe combined. – Mark Twain

36 Most Famous Festivals Of India You Must Experience In 2022

10. Indrani Ghose

Indrani is no ordinary traveller. A fun and courageous wanderer, she’s an ex-Indian Air Force employee, who once dreamt of travelling around the globe. From Singapore to Portugal and Jaisalmer to Guwahati, she has travelled to over 21 countries and 250+ cities till now. She has done many road trips across Europe and Southeast Asia with her family. She is also known as one of the best travel bloggers in India . 

We as a family, place travel as a must-do thing during vacations. I think it is in the genes. My parents have taken us, siblings, out during vacations and now I travel with my family often. For us, travel is another kind of learning experience, something which is impossible to get in schools and colleges.

It is all the Unesco World Heritage sites. Our road trips in different countries have been planned along with the Unesco sites of that country. The last major road trip we did was through Spain and Portugal – 3155kms. We covered 23 sites on this trip alone.

I am not a big fan of tech gadgets but mobiles with google maps, a good camera and a good collection of music have been a constant companion on our road trips.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is my most favourite travel book now.

I am not sure if I am there yet to advise, but I would like to say, travel responsibly. Travellers today travel to the remotest part, popularise it and the next thing we know a horde of tourists marching to the newly discovered destination spoiling it in the process. Respect locals, their lifestyle and their privacy.

“Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” – Confucius

11. Swati & Sam

A software engineer duo, Swati and Sam are among the top Indian travel bloggers in the luxury travel segment. They have travelled to 16 international destinations and to many corners of Indian towns and cities. Now the pair are the go-to travel guides for travellers in and around the world.

It’s difficult to pick one. We love Bali, Maldives, Seychelles, Switzerland and Thailand.

Powerbank is what we need with us on our trips.

Under the Tuscan Sun, Lost in Translation, and Into the wild

Don’t overthink. If budget is a constraint, you can spend your weekends exploring nearby places.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Taiwan

12. Agniswar and Amrita

Two backpackers from Kolkata, Agniswar and Amrita love to explore and look for unconventional experiences and destinations. Amrita is adventurous while Agni always wanted to play safe. Together they’ve faced hailstorms of the Himalayas, did scuba diving 12 metres below sea level, froze during Chadar River trek and even got stuck at a riot in Jammu. They share their stories of adventure and fun on their awesome blog, which makes them one of the most influential Indian travel bloggers.

The travelling bug had bitten us long back. The first trip we took together was way back in 2011 in Goa. We wanted to see the crazy world and Goa seemed to be the best place. One trip followed another and finally on our Amarnath trip, we did find the travellers in us.

Your favourite travel destination.

Northeast India is our favourite destination. We love the rugged and unexplored terrains and the varied cultures and customs of the Northeast lure us the most.

Our Camera, smartphone, and power bank

Our favourite book is Journey to Lhasa – The Diary of a Spy by Sarat Chandra Das. We both love a movie called “The Way Back”.

Travel as if no one is watching you. Travel makes you admire the smaller beauties of life. Do not just tick off your list of things to do. Enjoy a place and experience the culture and cuisines of the place. Travelling is not just about numbers, it is about the experience.

“Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before” – Dalai Lama

13. Prachi & Himadri Garg

Popularly known as Ghoomophirosisters, the two women are among the most famous travel bloggers in India. They have recently been awarded by MP Tourism as their best friend on Social Media in travel awards 2016 and by Gujarat Tourism Board for their services.

In Feb 2007, there was a forecast for a sub-zero temp in Delhi, this pushed us to pack our bags and plan a trip to Shimla. This was our first solo backpack trip as ghoomophirosisters where-in we planned an impromptu trip without any prep. Since then, there has been no looking back.

Our DSLR Nikon-750

Our favourite travel movie is Everest.

If you want to learn how to travel with your full-time job, Mayuri is the person you should follow. She believes that in every aspect routine is lethal and hence, she keeps a balance of work and travel to make her life sweet and salty. You can follow her adventures on her blog.

I took my first trip in 2011 to Rajasthan. This was the start and those feelings of liberation and seeking new destinations, culture and experiences triggered my travel journey. From that year onward, I started exploring more and more and gradually I fell in love with travelling.

Kasmir, India. It has everything a traveller wants. I am a mountain person and I wouldn’t deny that Kashmir is heaven on the earth .

My Mobile Phone and DSLR.

I don’t watch many movies but I love Dil Chahta Hai and Ye Jawani Hai Diwani. If we talk about books, Azadi Mera Brand by Anuradha Beniwal is my fav.

Don’t plan too much while you leave your home. Don’t live only by guidebooks. Engage with locals who can give you more recommendations about the destinations. Also, put some flexibility in your schedule and go with the flow.

15. Karthik Murali H

A data scientist by profession and a travel my heart, Karthik is among the top travel bloggers of India. His interesting blog talks about travel, lifestyle, and technology. Want some smart travel hacks? An Asian Traveller can be your go-to guide.

I’ve been travelling since my childhood, at least to a min of two destinations per year. Ever since it caught on as a passion and I have begun to explore more and more destinations each year thanks to the lower airfares, more direct flights, it just got a whole lot easier.

Nothing has fascinated me more than the beautiful city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Digital Camera. No mobile cameras can replace the 300 dpi quality of a digicam.

Plan your travel in a way it doesn’t affect your budget a lot. Find low flight fares during sales and book in advance. Don’t compromise on comfort and quality. Travel is not about seeing new places. It’s about being comfortable in your own space wherever you are. Never let go of that.

No amount of education or degrees can teach you the same.

9 Best Hotels In Nashik: Assuring Unmatched Comfort Under Budget

16. Archana & Vidur

This awesome travelling couple is an inspiration to many. While Vidur is responsible for clicking the most gorgeous pictures for TravelMyNation, Archana keeps their travel adventures. Their Instagram profile is where one should go for some real travel inspiration.

I think it was the urge to see what’s out there. Archana and I are both very fond of the outdoors, are curious about wildlife and generally love being on the road. That’s how we started and we haven’t looked back since then.

Your favourite travel destination Of the ones we visited, we love Arunachal Pradesh the most. And in our bucket list are Mongolia and New Zealand.

GoPro Action camera and iPhones

Why We Ride and Into The Wild

Everybody travels now but only a few engage in ecotourism/responsible tourism. Our advice to all the wanderlusts out there is to make sure that they leave very little carbon footprint wherever they go!

A travel quote that always inspires you to travel “I don’t want to know what time it is. I don’t want to know what day it is or where I am. None of that matters.”

Reshma’s itchy feet have made her a popular solo globetrotter. A writer and dream-chaser, she loves to take the roads less travelled on a shoestring budget. Laos, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Bhutan, Thailand, and Cambodia are some of the nations Reshma has ticked off the bucket list.

I had been travelling with friends and family for many years, which I thoroughly enjoyed. But at some point, I felt like planning a trip to travel by myself. So I went on a weekend trip alone, and I loved it absolutely. That trip led to many trips, and solo travel became a part of my life.

Your favourite travel destination .

I find this question really hard to answer every time. I can’t pick just one. So I would choose the Philippines and Bhutan.

It is not exactly a travel gadget, but I always carry my music player.

My favourite travel movie is Into the Wild. When it comes to books, I have many, but I think it is The Motorcycle Diaries.

Sometimes, it is okay to skip a ‘popular attraction’ for any reason, whether you lack time or interest or both. The FOMO while travelling can never be avoided no matter how much you try because the world is just too big and we are going to miss experiencing one thing or the other. So accept that it’s totally fine.

Sahil left his corporate job in 2017 to quench his travel thirst. He’s a big-time foodie and believes in responsible travel. One can say Sahil is a weekend getaway expert.

I use to travel a lot with my family earlier, but in March 2017, I took a life-changing decision to travel with 20 strangers on a Himalayan trek for the first time. This trip changed my perspective about travel.

What’s your favourite travel destination?

Ladakh (going in June), till now – Triund, Bhrigu Lake, Jaisalmer

What’s that one travel gadget you always keep in your backpack?

I call my smartphone my best travel partner, so for its survival, I always carry a power bank.

Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Highway, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

Travel is a beautiful feeling and a great teacher too. You learn a lot from the experiences you gather while travelling. So, just take a break from the mundane lifestyle of cities, plan a small or a long trip to any place of your choice. But, always remember to travel in a responsible manner. Never spoil the dignity of the place you are visiting to especially nature.

A travel quote that always inspires you to travel. “Looking for a sign? Travel, you won’t have this opportunity forever.”

19. Niranjan Das

A nomad, Niranjan has travelled throughout India and covered over 10 countries in Europe and Asia. He believes that life is a travelogue and we all are just nomads.

The inquisitiveness to explore unknown places, languages, cultures and roads were the reason behind my early travels. The reasons remain the same even now, every time I travel.

Cannot pick one, as I love quite a few. Gokarna, Spiti, Rishikesh and Florence heads the list.

More than gadgets, I make sure to carry guide books and maps of the places I travel to.

Motorcycle Diaries and Into the Wild are my favourites.

The world out there isn’t as bad as it is often portrayed. There are strangers who are friendly, there are untrodden roads that take you to gorgeous places and there are unexplored villages that would greet you warmly. Go out and explore every nook and corner of the world.

I wanted to get out of an expected Bangalore’s weekend rigmarole and explore a state that I hadn’t seen till then. It was the first time after college that I could travel independently, which was a big box to check.

That’s really difficult to answer, but I NEVER get bored of Varanasi.

Phone and battery pack.

Pico Iyer’s Falling off the map and The Sly Company of People Who Care by Rahul Bhattacharya

If travelling is a significant part of your profession, keep an eye on your progress alongside enjoying wandering about. Build realistic financial and skill development goals. This will help to keep the momentum on for a long time to come.

I went on my first trip with my mom and dad, and all I can say is that I have only loved travelling ever since.

A storyteller and rambler, Elita truly believes in the redemptive power of narratives. One can follow her blog Nomadic Thunker to be a part of her travel journeys.

My first journey was a classic scenario. I had office leaves that would lapse if I didn’t utilize them and on the other hand, had friends who wouldn’t make up their minds about the dates we could lock-in. I didn’t want to have to sit at home and do nothing, so I took off for my first solo travel journey.

Arunachal Pradesh. There’s a calm vibe to it.

Not a travel gadget exactly, but I always keep my portable charger with me.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach (it’s not a typical ‘travel’ book but it’s amongst the most beautiful books on journeys of transformation – which is what I associate travel with)

A piece of advice for all the wanderlust-ERS out there.

Be receptive. Mute your prejudices. Search, find, examine and then retell your own stories about people, places, and culture. Because if you’re going to say what ‘everyone else’ is already saying, what are you contributing to?

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” – Mary Oliver

23. Sumit Sharma

Sumit is an online marketer by profession and a traveller by passion. His love for India and its rich culture and heritage is eternal, which has led him to cover more than 15 cities of the nation.

My wanderlust started back in August 2016, when my friends and I travelled to Udaipur & Mount Abu. Udaipur is a really adorable city that casts a magic spell with its fine art, rich culture, and sparkling lakes that mesmerise your senses. In the last 21 months, I have been to more than 15+ Indian cities.

So, my favourite travel destination in India will obviously be Kashmir. It is one of the amazing tourist destinations in India & the real paradise on earth. Travelling to Kashmir is in my bucket list.

Traveler's Guide to Popular Indian Food by Region

Traveling around India is the only way to gain an appreciation of the true variety of Indian food that actually exists. It's so much more vast than the staple Punjabi dishes that are served up at most Indian restaurants across the world. Each region has its own specialty, and there's no better way to sample Indian cuisine than at a homestay in India . You'll get fresh ghar ka khana (home cooked Indian food) and you can even learn how it's made. Discover what kind of food to expect from the most popular regions of India in this Indian food guide. Also check out these delicious curries to try in India.

Want to learn how to make Indian food? Here are 12 places to take cooking classes in India. If you're serious about cooking, some of them offer extended programs up to a week long.

Punjab and North India

Meat and Indian bread are the main features of north Indian food. It's hearty and commonly cooked in a tandoor (clay oven fired by charcoal). North Indian curries usually have thick, moderately spicy and creamy gravies.

Popular dishes: Roti, naan, seekh kebab (minced meat on iron skewers), chicken tikka (small chunks of marinated and grilled chicken), butter chicken, tandoori chicken, aloo muttar (curry made with potatoes and peas), rajma (curry made with red kidney beans), chana masala (curry made with chickpeas), samosa, daal makhani (daal made with butter).

Many migrants from Kashmir have moved to Delhi and other north Indian cities. There you can sample their cuisine, usually consisting of hearty meat cooked in curd or milk.

• 7 Top Indian Fine Dining Restaurants in Delhi

South India

South Indians can't do without rice. It's the staple in their diet. In Kerala, most dishes are coconut-based and seafood is a specialty. In Tamil Nadu , watch out for Chettinad cuisine, perhaps the most fiery of all Indian food. Cuisine from Andhra Pradesh is also hot and spicy. Hyderabad is famous for its biryani. And, the Udupi region of Karnataka is renowned for its simple but vast vegetarian fare.

Popular dishes: No South Indian meal is complete without rice in some form or other -- either boiled rice or idlis (steamed cakes made from rice batter), or dosas or uttapams (pancakes made from a batter of rice and lentil flour). Perhaps the south Indian food that's most enjoyed by travelers is the masala dosa . It's a thin crispy pancake filled with spicy potato and onion. Cheap and tasty!

14 Dishes You Need to Try in Kerala

NarenderSanwariya/Getty Images

Rajasthan's cuisine has evolved to suit the state's harsh dry climate. Dishes are often made to be stored for several days and served without heating. Dairy products are used extensively due to scarcity of water, and liberal dousing of food with ghee (clarified butter) is regarded as a sign of prosperity. Unrefined regional grains such as millet and jowar (sorghum) are common as well.

Popular dishes: You can't visit Rajasthan and not sample d aal-baati-churma . This hearty and iconic dish consists of daal (lentil preparation), baked round baati (bread), and baati crushed and fried in ghee and jaggery. It's also widely consumed in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

The food in Goa is dominated by seafood (of course, being a coastal state) and pork. The Portuguese influence shows up more obviously at dinner in the evenings, when roast beef may even be served (most Goans are Catholic, and as a result eat beef). Goan food also features elaborate puddings and cakes. Xacutti (coconut-based curry), cafreal (marinated and fried/grilled), sorpotel (stew), recheado (stuffed), ambot tik (sour and spicy), and vindaloo (fiery curry marinated with garlic and vinegar or wine) are common types of dishes. And of course, Goan chourico (sausages) and Goan pao (bread).

Popular dishes: Goan fish curry, pork vindaloo , pork sausages. All washed down with a chilled King's Beer. (Goans also love a drink!).

• Best Goan Cuisine Restaurants in Goa for All Budgets

Gujarat and West India

Gujarat's cuisine is known for its slight sweet touch (at least a pinch of sugar is added to most dishes!) and is traditionally entirely vegetarian. This makes it a delight for those who don't like to eat meat. Rest assured you don't have to go to Gujarat to get lip-smacking Gujarati food. It's widely available in Mumbai .

Popular dishes: Don't miss feasting on a Gujarati thali (platter with a wide range of different food items).

Bengal and Odisha

Bengalis and Odias LOVE fish! It's fried, stewed lightly with vegetables, or made into jhol (curry with thin consistency). Hilsa (ilish) is the most savored variety of fish in Bengal. Equally adored when it comes to food are sweets, usually milk-based. The most renowned item in Odia cuisine is perhaps dalma -- a hearty stew made out of lentils and vegetables.

Popular dishes: Maacher jhol (fish curry), sorshe maacher jhol (curry with mustard paste), daab chingri (coconut prawn curry), sandesh (sweet made with condensed milk and sugar) rasgulla , (sweet made from balls of Indian cottage cheese cooked in light sugar syrup), mishti doi (sweet made from curd and jaggery and served in an earthen pot).

• 10 Authentic Bengali Restaurants to Try in Kolkata

Ladakh, Sikkim, Himachal Pradesh

You'll find a significant Tibetan and Nepali influence in the cuisine of the mountainous areas of northern India, due to migration and proximity to the borders of these countries.

Popular dishes: Thukpa (hearty noodle soup), momos (steamed or fried stuffed dumplings), gyakho (stew). In Sikkim, try tongba (famous Himalayan millet beer).

• 11 Top Attractions and Places to Visit in Sikkim

North East India

Also very different to typical Indian cuisine, food in North East India is largely devoid of oil and masalas . However, it is hot and spicy! Rice, vegetables and meat stew make up most meals. Pork is very popular and beef is not forbidden. You'll also come across some rather usual ingredients, such as ant eggs, dog meat and hornet larvae.

Popular dishes: Pork stew with bamboo shoots in Nagaland. Masor tenga (sour fish curry from Assam), dawlrep bai (spicy beef or pork curry from Mizoram), chamthong (vegetable stew from Manipur), pasa (spicy soup with raw fish from Arunachal Pradesh)

India Travel Tips for First-Time Visitors

I’ve never been to India. I know. Crazy, right? It’s not that I don’t want to go but life has just always gotten in the way. However, India is a place a lot of people visit and, since I can’t write about it, I want to bring in someone who can: my friend Mariellen Ward. She’d a travel writer who has been going to India since 2005 and runs the website Breathedreamgo . We’ve known each other since 2010. Today, she’s going to share some tips on how to visit India for first-time visitors.

I will never forget my first time visiting India. My first car trip in Delhi felt like a roller-coaster ride. Cars and trucks of every size, overloaded bicycles and motorcycles, and even the occasional bullock cart, seemed to be coming at me from every direction. No one was paying any attention to lanes or the rules of the road. Vehicles were driving the wrong way. I couldn’t make sense of what was happening.

I had heard about the “sensory overload” travelers feel in India, and now I was experiencing it. It was exciting and nerve-wracking in equal measure. And just a taste of things to come.

I spent six months crisscrossing the subcontinent on my first trip, back in 2005 and was often overwhelmed by the huge crowds, the foreign traditions, the perplexing bureaucracy, the mind-boggling complexity, and the bewildering culture shock.

These things combined make India a challenging — though very exciting and rewarding —destination.

However, if you read and follow these travel tips for first-time visitors, they could help smooth out some of the more disorienting bumps.

1. Slow down

It takes time and some know-how to successfully navigate in India. This is not a place for hurried travel. Don’t try and see as much as you can; that is not the right approach. It’s tiring to travel in India, and the object should be to experience it, not to check things off a list.

As a general rule, for every two weeks you are in India, pick one region. For a one-month trip, just pick two regions — say, two weeks in Rajasthan and two weeks in Kerala . You can even sit in one place and still not miss anything. No matter what, if you are in India, you will experience India.

2. Adjust your attitude

Likewise, accept that things will not go as planned. Cultivate the philosophy that things happen the way they are supposed to, not the way they are planned. This attitude can lead to the most marvelous adventures.

3. Be careful who you trust

Having said that it’s a good idea to be open, a healthy level of skepticism also comes in really handy in India. There are many con men there, especially in the travel and hospitality sector. They have a sixth sense for first-time visitors and will try and take advantage.

So, learn the prices by asking locals and other travelers before negotiating with auto-rickshaw drivers and market vendors. Don’t believe drivers — or random people you come across at airports, train stations, and tourist attractions — who tell you things such as your hotel burned down, or the train you want was canceled.

Often, an opportunity to make money off of you will spur creative tactics, and some of these scams can easily catch you off guard. Once, I was looking for a new iPhone case and the vendor showed me one and told me it was made by Apple. But a close look revealed four spelling mistakes in one short sentence engraved inside the case.

4. Practice safe travel

There are also anecdotal reports of women being molested, especially in busy, crowded places. Follow basic precautions and safe travel strategies, and use common sense in India.

Here are several safety travel tips (please read my top tips for women traveling in India for more details):

• Buy a local SIM card so that you can make local calls and stay in touch.
• Research carefully where you want to go, ensuring it is an area frequented by other travelers, with good infrastructure and hotels.
• Plan your travel so you don’t arrive late at night; travel during daylight hours only.
• Be careful when posting to social media, so that you are not revealing your current location.
• Stay alert to your surroundings, and keep a close eye on your handbag and luggage.
• Keep the Tourist Helpline number handy and call if you need any assistance: 1-800-111363.

5. Try a small group tour

For your first time in India, try taking a small group or custom tour to help you get your feet wet. My company, India for Beginners , was founded to help women travel safely and well in India. We offer a few small group tours, but we specialize in creating custom tours and providing a high level of personal service, such as meeting travelers at the airport and assigning a tour manager who is available 24/7. We hold your hand in India!

6. Take the train

Taking a train in India is a great experience and should not be missed. However, you need some basic knowledge about the classes and the trains. You may not want to dive into sleeper class or general class immediately; I would recommend 2AC (second class with air conditioning) or CC (chair car). Or even 1AC (first class with air conditioning) or EC (executive chair car).

Shatabdi and Rajdhani trains are among the best in India, so try and book one of these. Overnight trains can be a problem because they don’t clean the toilets at night, so keep that in mind when you book.

7. Eat the food

India is one of the world’s great culinary destinations, and first-time visitors should not shy away from trying all the delicious cuisine on offer, even street food. Some of the famous Indian items you shouldn’t miss are masala chai, sweet lassi, biryani, pakoras, dosas, and sweets such as gulab jamun and kheer.

It’s hard to avoid getting sick in India, though, because you never know when a tainted item will cross your plate. It could be at a street stall or a five-star restaurant. However, you can reduce the chances of getting sick by following these basic rules:

• Drink filtered or bottled water only.
• Watch for undistilled water in ice or sauces.
• Avoid salad and other raw food unless you can peel it (such as an orange or banana).
• Eat only food that is freshly cooked.
• Look for busy stalls and restaurants with high turnover.

8. Get a local SIM card

Everything in India runs on WhatsApp, one-time password (OTP) verification, and text messages. Because of this, you need a local number. To do so, get a local SIM at the airport when you arrive. Still, you may have trouble paying for things online with a foreign credit card, as India requires OTP verification, and getting registered with Indian Railways so you buy train tickets online is nearly impossible.

9. Remember where you are

For example, unless you’re on the beach in Goa, it’s wise to wear modest clothing in India . Long, loose, and flowing are key for dressing for the climate and the culture.

It’s also best to be very respectful, especially with regard to the myriad religions. And be aware that genders relate differently in India, and overfriendliness can be misconstrued. Be polite, but with strangers, and especially those working in the hospitality sector, it’s usually best to dial back effusive friendliness.

10. Follow the seasons

Weather and the season matter in India. It’s incredibly hot almost everywhere in May and June, the monsoon season is July to August, and it’s surprisingly cold in north India in winter, December to February. Do some research and find out the best places to visit in India by season .

So, when it’s cold in north India, head down to tropical Kerala or Goa and hit the beach. In the heat of summer, check out Ladakh, a high desert plateau that sometimes seems otherworldly. Note: Fall is festival season, so you can experience Durga Puja in Kolkata, Diwali in Jaipur, or the Camel Fair in Pushkar.

11. Visit attractions in the morning

(However, this rule does not apply to shopping. Stores, and even restaurants, tend not to open until 10 or even 11 am. Urban Indians tend to do everything late. Breakfast and lunch are late, and dinner can be very late indeed.)

12. Head into the countryside

You can go trekking in the mountains, take a tiger safari , visit one of the many national parks, camp out overnight on a sand dune in Rajasthan, or take a boat cruise on the Brahmaputra River.

And don’t forget the rural areas. Most Indians still live in villages. It’s really worthwhile to meander through the quaint villages of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, or Uttarakhand.

India is not an easy place to travel. It’s not a relaxing vacation destination. It is, though, an experience — often a life-changing experience. Start by doing research, read books about India , watch movies about the country, learn about the cultures and various destinations, and get ready for a transformative travel experience.

Like many before you — from The Beatles to Steve Jobs to Elizabeth Gilbert — you may just fall in love with the place. As writer Rumer Godden said, “Once you have felt the dust of India, you will never be free of it.”

Mariellen Ward fell in love with India, with travel, and with travel blogging on her first trip to the country in 2005. She has spent more than seven years of the last 18 in India, and now lives there. Though Canadian by birth, Mariellen considers India to be her “soul culture.” With her travel blog, Breathedreamgo , she tries to encourage and help other female travelers to go after their dreams. And her custom tour company, India for Beginners , is dedicated to helping women travel safely and well in India.

Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner . It’s my favorite search engine because it searches websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is being left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld . If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as it consistently returns the cheapest rates for guesthouses and hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

• SafetyWing (best for everyone)
• Insure My Trip (for those 70 and over)
• Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)

Want to Travel for Free? Travel credit cards allow you to earn points that can be redeemed for free flights and accommodation — all without any extra spending. Check out my guide to picking the right card and my current favorites to get started and see the latest best deals.

Need Help Finding Activities for Your Trip? Get Your Guide is a huge online marketplace where you can find cool walking tours, fun excursions, skip-the-line tickets, private guides, and more.

Ready to Book Your Trip? Check out my resource page for the best companies to use when you travel. I list all the ones I use when I travel. They are the best in class and you can’t go wrong using them on your trip.

Indian Travel Food recipes

Indian Travel Food Recipes | 300 Indian Travel Food for International Trip | Homemade Vegetarian Travel Food Ideas | 

Indian Travel Food Recipes | 300 Indian Travel Food for International Trip | Homemade Vegetarian Travel Food Ideas |  We asked our cooking fans which is the Indian foods they travel with and we got response for travel foods like idli, thepla, paratha, sandwiches etc. Here are a a few recipes which are easy to pack while travelling. Some of these foods like ildi, paratha etc stay fresh for 5 to 6 hours, while food items like thepla and pickle stay fresh for a day. On the other hand, the dry food items can stary fresh for more than a day.

Indian travel food | idli and dosa recipes |

Idlis and tomato chutney prepared without adding any water is one of the best dish to carry along during travel.  Idli  is a very  popular South Indian breakfast  which is also a favourite  Mumbai Street Food . Fluffy as cotton balls, white as the moon’ - every  South Indian  remembers those fond descriptions of Idli that mom used to convince them to eat breakfast when they were kids. You can enjoy them at any time of the day during your journey. 

idli recipe | idli batter recipe | South Indian style idli | soft idli |

Tava idli recipe is what the name means, leftover idlis cooked on a tava in butter with Indian spices and vegetables. Hence they are also called South Indian tava vegetable idlis due to the presence of onions and tomatoes. Watch your leftover idlis transform into a scrumptious spicy tava idli as you toss them with crunchy onions, tangy tomatoes and peppy spice powders. The master stroke in this spicy tava idli recipe is the use of pav bhaji masala, a very popular flavour that is loved by young and old alike and it stays fresh for 6 to 8 hours while travelling.

Dosa  is also a good travel food. The dosas cooked with ghee, oil or butter, get a special flavour and texture as they cool, which is quite different from how they taste when hot and fresh.

When preparing dosas for travel, it is important to make them slightly thicker than usual and also a little moist.  If you ask elderly women in South India, they will share with you the secret of making  ‘travel dosas’ . You need to spread the dosa on the tava. After it cooks on one side, take very little water and sprinkle it on the dosa before turning around to cook the other side.

Try the Tuppa Dosa . Tuppa in Kannada means ghee, and that makes the highlight of this recipe obvious! This dosa is a special one, which is often made when there are guests. You can actually smell the ghee from outside the house, and it will make you drool! Since the batter for this dosa uses more urad than usual dosas, the Tuppa Dosa also turns out soft and fluffy, which makes it doubly delightful.

You can also carry milagai podi , coconut chutney and tomato chutney as accomapniments to idlis and dosas.

See our aticle on idli dosa travel foods .  

Indian travel food | paratha recipes |

Methi paratha recipe  is a sumptuous and satiating fare often served with a bowl of curd and pickle. Learn how to make methi paratha for travel. Who can resist the lure of hot, tava-cooked Punjabi methi ka paratha. The wheat flour dough combines methi leaves and carom seeds, both of which are excellent aroma and flavour boosters.While the Gujarati thepla usually have sesame seeds, these North Indian style parathas are perked up with ajwain. These tiny seeds aid in digestion.

Gobi paratha  is a dish wish a universal appeal! What makes these whole wheat Punjabi gobi paratha so appealing is the soft and tasty filling of cauliflower flavoured with spicy green chillies and crunchy onions. Green chillies spike up the flavor of the Gobi paratha stuffing, while coriander adds up the freshness. You can add amchur or chaat masala which would give it an enjoyable tinge of tanginess.

So, on some days, you can serve this hot and fresh for  breakfast  or  after school , while on some days you can pack it as a  tiffin treat  or a travel food! Also pack refreshing  Minty Nimbu Paani  in a thermos flask, so it will be nice and cool to sip on while munching the paratha.

Instant mango pickle  | aam ka achar | instant raw mango pickle | instant kacchi kairi ka achar is a delectable mango pickle that is ready within minutes and thus perfect for travel as an accompaniment to parathas.
