• Old Goa — Walking Through an Abandoned Capital
    Dec 26 2025

    Explore Old Goa as a walking landscape of memory, once the capital of Portuguese India and now a vast, contemplative ruin where history feels more present because it is unfinished. Through its monumental churches, open grounds, and fragments like the St. Augustine Tower, Old Goa reveals how faith, power, trade, and disease shaped a city that rose quickly and faded just as dramatically. Rather than treating these sites as isolated monuments, the narrative follows them as part of a lived urban fabric—best understood slowly, on foot, and with context.

To understand Goa beyond its colonial chapter, you need to begin where stone, belief, and landscape first aligned. That journey starts at Tambdi Surla and unfolds through Mangeshi and Saptakoteshwar, three temples that quietly map Goa’s sacred evolution over nearly a thousand years

  • Majuli: The world's largest River Island and Assam's best kept secret
    Dec 12 2025

    A trip to Majuli feels like entering a world shaped gently by water and devotion, where the Brahmaputra spreads so wide it blurs the line between river and sky. You cross by ferry into India’s—and the world’s—largest river island, stepping into villages on stilts, monasteries humming with chants, and workshops where mask-makers sculpt stories out of bamboo, clay, and sunlight. The landscape moves in slow rhythms: monks performing Sattriya dance with a precision rooted in centuries of Vaishnavite tradition, potters shaping clay by hand using techniques older than many civilizations, and wide paddy fields shimmering like green mirrors. Majuli isn’t just a destination; it’s a living cultural ecosystem, constantly reshaped by the moods of the river and the creativity of the people who call it home.

As the vessel slips over Havelock’s shallow reef, you watch ancient staghorn, brain and plate corals glow in filtered sunlight, their colours shifting with every ripple. Schools of reef fish—parrotfish, sergeant majors, butterflyfish—move through these coral structures as if performing choreography millions of years in the making. The ride feels effortless and immersive, offering the kind of clarity a diver sees without the gear or the plunge. It’s a gentle, mesmerizing window into a world that grows at the pace of centuries, leaving you with the sense of having wandered through an untouched ocean cathedral.
