Driver · writer · reluctant trekker
Plans the routes, writes the long ones, and wrote a whole book about being dragged up Har Ki Dun. Brahmatal, Kedarnath and Sandakphu followed anyway.

We travel to eat.
We travel to eat.
Then we cook it.
Girish, Vidya and Devansh. One car with an unreasonable boot, a kitchen that smells of whatever we ate last month, and a blog that has been going since 2013.
Since 2013
Writing it all down
The short version
A portal for your wanderlust — and your kitchen.
We are passionate about exploring new places and eating our way through them. The best way to understand a culture is through its cuisine — every destination has taught us something about flavour, technique and tradition that we could not have read anywhere.
So the blog does both. Travel stories written honestly, including the parts that hurt, and recipes written the way we actually cook them at home — not the way they photograph best. Every recipe comes with a story; every destination with a memory worth sharing.

How we do it
Four rules we keep breaking
01
Drive if you can
The good stuff is between the places, not at them. Three states in one car beats any flight.
02
Eat where the queue is
Local, busy, unglamorous. Then ask what is in it, and try it again at home.
03
Say yes to the trek
Regret it thoroughly, halfway up. Book the next one within the month.
04
Write it honestly
Including the bucket bath, the wrong turns, and the meals that were not worth the detour.

Route suggestions, a recipe you want us to attempt, or a question about a trek — WhatsApp is fastest, but all of these reach us.
