About the Creator
Though the name says Rachna, I’m Maya Whittaker — an Australian writer and lifelong enthusiast of Indian culture. My journey began over a decade ago, when a solo train ride from Delhi to Varanasi changed the course of my life. Since then, I’ve returned to India more than 20 times, traveling from the snow-capped peaks of Ladakh to the backwaters of Kumarakom. I’ve eaten with families in rural Rajasthan, learned classical dance in Pondicherry, and slept under the stars in the Thar Desert. This website is the culmination of those experiences — a love letter to India, written for those who seek more than just a vacation.
Why This Website Exists
I noticed how much misinformation and superficial advice exists about traveling in India. Too many guides focus only on the big cities or promote rushed itineraries. I wanted to create a space where travelers could find honest, nuanced, and deeply researched insights — written by someone who truly understands the rhythm of India. This isn’t a corporate travel site. It’s a passion project, built with patience and respect.

We prioritize authenticity over popularity, depth over speed, and respect over sensationalism. Every article is researched firsthand, updated regularly, and written with cultural sensitivity. We don’t accept paid promotions that compromise our integrity. Our goal is to empower you to travel wisely, ethically, and joyfully.
