If You Love Travel, Let's Talk
Location not specified yetTravel is better when the stories don't end after the trip.
Welcome to Travel Talk, a space for people who love travelling.
Whether you enjoy discovering hidden places, sharing travel stories, planning your next adventure, or simply meeting fellow travellers, you'll feel right at home here.
What is Travel Talk?
It's not a webinar.
It's not a networking event.
It's not a sales pitch.It's simply a space where travellers connect, exchange ideas, inspire one another, and occasionally become travel buddies.
Sometimes we'll meet online.
Sometimes over coffee.
Sometimes before a trip.
Sometimes just because we miss being on the road.Who's it for?
🎒 Solo travellers
✈️ Frequent travellers
🏔️ Weekend explorers
📸 Travel creators
🌍 Anyone with a bit of wanderlustHow it works
This is an interest-gathering space, not a fixed-date event.
Join if you'd like to receive invitations whenever I host a Travel Talk, travel meetup, online session, or community gathering.
👇 Before you go, I'd love to know a little about the traveller behind the profile.
Please take 3 minutes to fill out the Traveller Passport (link below). It'll help me understand your travel style and create travel conversations, meetups, and experiences you'll genuinely enjoy.

Hi, I'm Sarathy. 👋
I quit my corporate job in 2012 to do what I love most—travel.
Since then, I've been exploring hidden corners of India and the world while leading small-group journeys through Unusual Escapes.Some of my favourite travel memories aren't places... they're the people I met along the way.
That's what inspired me to create Travel Talk, a space where travellers can connect long before (or long after) the journey.
If this feels like your kind of community, I'd love to have you along. 😊

Arunachal Unfiltered - Mountains, Monasteries & Hidden Valleys
goSTOPS Bengaluru, #202, 6th Cross Rd, Gandhinagar, Majestic, Bengaluru, IN📍 Trip Start/End: Guwahati
🗓️ November 14-21, 2026
💰 ₹30,500 + 5% GST per personArunachal is not just about Tawang Monastery, Sela Pass or Madhuri Lake.
It's about the winding mountain roads, villages tucked away between valleys, waterfalls appearing around a bend, and those unexpected places that make you want to linger a little longer.I've travelled this route several times, but there's always something new waiting to be discovered. This time, we're making room for Chug, a quiet village I stumbled upon on my previous journey, with traditional homes, terraced fields and glimpses of everyday Monpa life.
Join me for eight days through the Eastern Himalayas, exploring familiar landmarks and lesser-known corners of Arunachal, without rushing from one attraction to another.
### ✨ Highlights
🌿 Explore the open landscapes of Sangti Valley
🏡 Discover Chug village and its traditional way of life
🌊 Stop at waterfalls and scenic viewpoints along the mountain roads
🏔️ Cross the spectacular Sela Pass
🙏 Visit Tawang Monastery and other culturally significant monasteries
🇮🇳 Travel to Bum La, near the Indo-China border
💙 Experience Sangetsar Tso (Madhuri Lake) and other high-altitude lakes
💦 Witness the dramatic Nuranang Falls### 🌿 What makes this trip different?
• Not a rushed, checklist-driven tour
• A mix of iconic landmarks and lesser-known places
• Time to explore villages, landscapes and local culture
• A small group that makes the journey more personal
• An itinerary that allows for unexpected discoveries along the way
Sometimes, the best moments aren't planned. They're the little stops, conversations and detours that turn a trip into a memorable journey.### 👥 Who is this trip for?
- Solo travellers, couples and small groups who enjoy exploring beyond the usual tourist trail.
- You should be comfortable with long mountain drives, changing weather, basic but comfortable accommodation, and some walking around villages and natural landscapes.
- This is not a luxury holiday or a fast-paced sightseeing tour. It's for curious travellers who enjoy the journey as much as the destination.
