CHITRA SWAMINATHAN

India has so much to offer. Heard this too often? But when I say it, you have no choice but to believe me. You know why?

As the host of a travel show, I have travelled extensively through the country. I think you need a lifetime to explore its magnificence. And an extra dose of patience and energy if you cannot afford luxurious travel. Yet it’s worth the effort and every pie.

Ladakh at the top, Goa in the middle and Kerala at the bottom are my three favourite destinations in India. Each is a unique blend of natural beauty, tranquillity and history.

The peaks, the beaches and the greenery are a perfect calm-balm.

London, Thailand and parts of Europe fascinate me because of the sight seeing, shopping and dining. London in particular will never cease to charm me. It’s non-stop action in this world-famous metropolis, which inspires you to get set and go.

Most often, I go on work-cum-pleasure trips. Though once-a-year I take a month off and travel to purely relax and enjoy myself. Travel to me is all about seeing, exploring and learning.
