Hello! Hey there! We’re Brinda and Poorna — an Indian travel blog couple from Bengaluru, India’s vibrant Garden City and Startup Capital. Welcome to Travel Twosome, our space to share real travel stories, practical tips, and unforgettable experiences from across India and beyond.
🚗 How It All Began
Our travel story started 30 years ago on our honeymoon — with trains, buses, ferries, and our first flight together. That one trip sparked a lifelong love for travel. Since then, we’ve explored everything from offbeat destinations in India to charming cities abroad — always looking for experiences that move us.
We’ve wandered across India — from the mighty Himalayas to the beaches of the Konkan, from ancient temples to dense forests, and from heritage cities to remote mountain passes.
While we’ve stepped out of the country, it’s India’s diversity and depth that continues to fascinate us. And truthfully, we still feel like we’ve only scratched the surface.
🌄 Travel Moments That Stay With Us
- A soul-stirring sunrise at Devarayanadurga after a 4 AM start
- Trekking 14 km in the rain to reach Goa’s roaring Dudhsagar Falls
- Getting lost in the surreal ruins of Hampi and the calm of Nameri Forest in Arunachal Pradesh
- Scuba diving in Netrani and chasing the monsoons on road trips to Chikmagalur
- Navigating the worst road in Spiti on a pitch-dark night
- Feeling pure warmth and kindness in a remote Ladakhi homestay
- Feasting at Indore’s famous Sarafa Bazaar
- Driving to Siachen base camp, witnessing firsthand the courage of our soldiers
These are the stories we live for — moments that remind us why travel in India is so endlessly rewarding.
As an Indian travel blog couple, we’ve always believed that meaningful travel isn’t about ticking off places — it’s about connection, discovery, and staying curious.
🌍 Why We Travel
For us, travel isn’t about ticking places off a list. It’s about:
- Experiencing the world’s beauty, quirks, and surprises
- Learning about new cultures, cuisines, arts, and people
- Discovering ourselves in the process
- Slowing down and soaking in the moment
- Making friends and memories along the way
- Staying curious about the world we live in
