The Travelling Slacker
India Beyond Cliche’s
Notes from the Hinterlands
Travelling Slacker has been a source of informative travel content on Indians’ remotest corners since 2011. While not averse to other explorations, the bulk of the writings here focus on the Himalayas and North East India, along with some obscure archaeological and ethnocultural experiences. This blog is committed to promoting responsible explorations and documenting the people, culture, and history of these lands.
