Crossed a decade in 2023 with 10 years of Trayaan
Trayaan - What it's all about
“ Trayaan is not about us; it is about the destinations we go to, the places we visit, things we come across while travelling, and all things about travel. ”
Routine life is monotonous. Everyone tries to drive away the insidious monotony in one way or the other, and travelling to places or taking a tour often helps bust that bundled stress of everyday life.
That’s pretty much the reason why most people travel, including ourselves, when we’re not travelling on duty or necessity or just for the sake of it.
Undoubtedly, travel or travelling is nonetheless an essential part of life or living. And that's what Trayaan is all about, essentially. Trayaan is not about us; it is about the destinations we go to, the places we visit, things we come across while travelling, and all things about travel.
When and How it began
We've been travelling since our childhood as tourists... This blogging thing happened much later... It's been over a decade now, since we launched Trayaan.
Everything has to begin somewhere and sometime. Our travels began much earlier, Trayaan later. We've been travelling since our childhood as tourists, an we've also travelled just for the sake of it or whenever duty requires us to.
This blogging thing happened much later after we returned from one tour and met again and we were recalling about the times when we look for potential places to travel to, how we keep searching and researching a place to visit.
But after so many years travelling, it was then, at that moment, that we wondered why not document our travels and the places we've been to, as it might help others who would be looking for where to go on the next long weekend — leading to the inception of Trayaan, our travel blog. It's been over a decade now, since we three friends launched this website.

We believe in quality over quantity. We don't like to fill the site with vacuous posts just for the sake of posting more.
We only blog about the places we’ve been to, and our travel tips are based on our own first-hand travel experiences. We go the extra mile and refer to authoritative sources and try to find reliable details, in our travel stories and other articles. And if we find that we made a mistake, we correct it.
We never post about someplace we haven’t been to ourselves, and we don’t give travel tips that we haven’t learnt ourselves (the hard way or otherwise!). So, you can rest assured that the content on Trayaan is genuine and trustworthy.
We cite sources and provide references to external sources of information and even provide links to them if they're accessible online.
And no, we don't get paid for any mentions or reviews of anything, whether it's a hotel, a device, travel gear, tools, or whatever else. We don't do paid or sponsored articles. We don't have anything to sell here, and if we ever do, then we'll properly disclose it.
