Welcome to Backpack & Explore

Practical Guides For The Time-Poor Travel-Buff


Hey there!

You are here for practical itineraries and guides to make the most of your planned vacations.

But you will stay here for the stories..

The legends of an old temple, the history of a modern party-hub, the epic fails and misadventures.

So, grab a cup of chai or coffee, and binge on the stories – the waterfalls and the lakes, the beaches and the hills, the forts and the temples. 

So join me on this journey to explore life through travel. For there’s a story behind every road we take, every plan we make..

Stories that ought to be told as we Backpack & Explore.
