IN Indian + NP Nepali Roots · Based in India
I’m Pooja — a travel writer, budget explorer, photographer, and storyteller based in India. My family’s Nepali roots gave me a deep love for mountains, movement, and new horizons from a very young age.
I started Passportroutes because I couldn’t find travel content made for people like me — Indian passport holders navigating visas, finding vegetarian food, and stretching every rupee across Southeast Asia without compromising on experience.
I’ve explored Bali, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia — and countless beautiful destinations across India. Every guide I write comes from my real, personal experience. No sponsored fluff. No perfect filters. Just honest travel stories.
My mission? To help you travel smarter, deeper, and with more purpose — so you come back changed, not just tan.
Why I travel, how I write, and what makes Travel Nesty different.
Every guide is written from personal experience. I never accept payment to write positive reviews or recommend places I haven't visited myself.
Real budgets, real rupee costs, real tips for Indian travelers. I believe incredible travel doesn't have to break the bank.
Visa guides, entry requirements, and travel tips written specifically for Indian passport holders — because our experience is different.
Real photos from my real journeys — every single one personally visited and honestly reviewed.
Southeast Asia travel guides written honestly, for Indian travelers who want real experiences over perfect pictures.
