Behind the Laptop & Lens
IN Indian + NP Nepali Roots · Based in India
Hey! I’m Pooja — a travel writer, budget explorer, and storyteller based in India. My family’s Nepali roots gave me a love of mountains and movement from the very beginning.
I started Passport Routes because I couldn’t find travel content made for people like me — Indian passport holders navigating visas, finding vegetarian food, and making every rupee count across Southeast Asia.
Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia — and many more destinations to come. I write to inspire you to travel smarter, deeper, and with purpose.
