Hi, we are Divya and Vipin.
We are a couple who plan our own trips, pay for them ourselves, and keep every bill, even for the autos and the chai.
After every trip we sit down and write the whole thing properly: one guide for one trip, what we did, what it cost us, and what we would skip next time. All of it is here, free.
Vietnam 1 guide
Vietnam was like three trips in one, limestone hills one day and the sea the next, and we did not even realise how the days went by. The best part was the three hour boat ride at Trang An, laughing the whole way with a couple from Poland.
Singapore 5 guides
What stayed with us is how clean Singapore is, a dustbin every twenty steps, and how much green sits between the tall buildings. In Chinatown one evening we walked into the Sri Mariamman temple right at aarti time and did darshan.
Andamans 1 guide
We went island to island for a week, and the sea kept getting bluer, till at Neil we could not believe this was still India. One afternoon on Radhanagar we made a proper bed of logs, sand and leaves, and slept on it.
Malaysia 2 guides
We had not expected much from Kuala Lumpur and it won us over, humid mornings and rain almost every day. We had taken a small flat next to the Twin Towers and made our own breakfast every morning before heading out.
Leh Ladakh 2 guides
Ladakh was on our list for years, and when we finally reached, half our plans got cancelled, but the trip still felt right. We found our own spot by the Indus, sat there two hours with no sound but the water, and did not feel like leaving.
Maldives 1 guide
We stayed on local islands instead of a resort, and honestly it suited us better. On our first night at Maafushi there was live music on the beach and we ended up dancing with everyone.
