Six Years of India Travel Blog

July 1, 2011

india travel blogIndia Travel Blog completes six delightful years today. What started as a means to record my travels has now become much more than that and has perhaps defined much of what I am today. Thank you for your wonderful support all these years, and for having been coming here to read my travel stories and see the images.

It has been a beautiful journey of travelling here with thousands of travellers. Some narcissistic statistics :)

  • More than 900 posts with a couple of thousand photographs.
  • About 1.5 million visitors with about 3 million page loads since inception.

The ultimate aim of India Travel Blog remains what I wrote here a year ago: “to consistently produce good quality photographs and travel writing that informs and entertains the readers.”

Once again, thanks for coming here year after year to see photographs and read travel stories. :)
