Stories from the road

Two wheels, four wheels, endless journeys

About Me as a Traveller

I’m Gaurav – a storyteller on wheels, constantly chasing new horizons. Whether it’s the thunder of my Royal Enfield on early morning ride, or a road trip with family and friends through winding hills and forest trails, the road feels like home. For me, travel isn’t just about reaching a destination – it’s about the joy in the journey, the chai breaks, the unplanned detours, and the stories we collect along the way.
