plan now • relax later
Independent travel guides you'll actually use.
Self-planned travel guides - no tours, no shortcuts.
Hi! I'm a Bangalore-based developer who plans every trip obsessively so I can actually relax once I'm there. Find travel guides on Cambodia, Bali, Turkey, Egypt, South Korea, with the visa, currency, and flight-route notes Indian travelers tend to want and Western blogs tend to skip.
Discover your next adventure
Every destination is broken down into guides, itineraries, and tips to help you plan your trip.
Not sure where to begin? Start here
This is exactly how I plan my trips, step by step.
"I have a week"
Pick a country, read everything I’ve published on it, and leave with a plan.
"I have a weekend"
Three to four days, one city, no rushing. Real itineraries from real trips.
"I just want to pack right"
Smart packing lists and travel must-haves so you’re prepared for every journey, no matter where you’re headed.
Latest from the journal
If you’re planning a trip, these are the most useful guides to begin with.
One email a month. No spam, no affiliate-hawking.
Just whatever I'm planning, reading, or photographing. Plus the occasional itinerary that didn't make it onto the blog.
It's the little moments
The frames I keep going back to - sunrise in Cappadocia, the quiet temples of Cambodia, the light falling just right in Egypt.
About me
If you have scrolled this far, hi! Welcome to Catching Auroras!
It’s just me back here – no team, no “we”, just one tired girl writing about trips she’s done after her 9-5. Hope you have found this corner of the internet fun and useful. There’s more on why I started Catching Auroras over here.
