Hi, I'm Niladri. I travel every chance I get — across India and beyond — and write about the places, people and food I find along the way. I also paint, play the saxophone, and enjoy passing on what I've learned. This is where I share it all.
Trip reports, itineraries and honest recommendations from journeys across India and around the world.
Read the stories →Original work available to buy, plus the option to commission a painting made just for you.
Browse the gallery →Videos of me playing — covers, originals and the odd late-night practice session.
Watch & listen →Thoughts and practical tips on travel planning, creative pursuits, and things I wish I'd known sooner — no charge, ever.
Read the advice →I've spent years collecting stories from the road, filling sketchbooks, and losing track of time behind a saxophone. This site is where those three things live together — partly a journal, partly a small gallery, partly an open invitation.
If something here is useful to you — a travel tip, a painting for your wall, a commission idea, or just a bit of advice — I'd love to hear from you.
