Welcome! I'm Nisha. This space combines two things that give me joy: travel writing and art.
​​
Travel has been a defining thread in my life. I’ve journeyed alone and with my favourite humans; for work rooted in purpose and for the simple joy of discovering somewhere new. This blog isn’t a comprehensive travel diary, it’s simply a small collection of thoughts and experiences!
​
During the quiet of COVID (and when travel became challenging), I discovered pen and ink as a way to slow down and stay connected to nature. You’ll find my works available in my art shop.
​
Thank you for stopping by!

ANDAMANS
The Andamans are a reminder that biodiversity is not abstract — it swims, roots, shelters, and breathes along these shores. From coral reefs and seagrass beds to mangroves and vast intertidal zones, the Andamans holds one of the most quietly extraordinary marine worlds. Spending time here felt like witnessing an intricate natural system in motion, resilient and fragile all at once.​

DIBANG VALLEY
Remote, rugged, and impossibly beautiful, the Dibang Valley feels like India’s untamed frontier. Nestled deep in Arunachal Pradesh’s wild northeast, it's a place where mountains rise like myths and clouds wander through ancient forests. It’s a land of river songs, tribal warmth, and landscapes that stay with you long after you leave.

MYANMAR
​Yangon and Bagan revealed themselves to us slowly, through gilded pagodas, incense-filled air, and landscapes shaped by faith and time. From the hum of city streets to the stillness of ancient plains dotted with temples, this trip felt like stepping into a place where devotion and everyday life are inseparable.

VENICE
A floating labyrinth of art, history, and heart, Venice isn’t a place you simply visit, but a feeling that follows you home. In late 2018, I wandered through Italy for seven weeks, a little lost and unsure of who I was or what I wanted to do in life. Venice, with its gelato, gondolas, and canals for getting wonderfully lost, was the perfect distraction.

ROME
​Rome is a city that breathes through stone. From shadowed ruins to light-filled piazzas, it holds centuries of stories without ever feeling still, asking only that you walk, wander, and listen. Walking its streets felt like moving through time, where history is not preserved behind glass but woven into the everyday.

SIKKIM
Perched high in the Eastern Himalayas, the Dzongri trek in Sikkim, is a quiet unfolding of forests, ridge-lines, and vast mountain skies. From moss-covered trails to open alpine meadows, the journey steadily reveals sweeping views of the Kanchenjunga range, inviting moments of awe, reflection, and deep connection with the landscape.

LADAKH
Julley from Ladakh — where the sky seems impossibly close and the mountains feel like old friends. At every pass and valley, the air is thin and clear, the silence speaks, and even the colours seem sharper against this high-desert light.

VIETNAM
In Vietnam, contrasts danced at every turn — between colonial alleys and chaotic markets, jade waters and towering karsts, the hushed Mekong Delta and the vibrant pulse of city life. Travelling through this land felt like reading a rich, layered story, each chapter alive with texture, colour, and memory.

JEJU
In Jeju, the night sky feels wider, the sea sounds deeper, and the old lava caves carry echoes of a time before memory. For me, this island became a place of first wonders: untamed landscapes, nuanced stories, and the gentle rhythm of life on Korea’s largest isle.

SIMPSON DESERT
Six weeks in the Simpson Desert teaches you how to listen — to silence, to space, and to a landscape that stretches far beyond the horizon. Endless red dunes, vast skies, and the slow rhythm of field days became the backdrop to a journey that was as much about learning the desert as it was about learning patience, resilience, and awe.
