The Journey Behind the Stories
Welcome to Travelling Trails, a personal chronicle of adventures across Maharashtra and beyond. I'm Aniket, a passionate traveler, motorcycle enthusiast, and lifelong explorer of the winding roads and hidden gems of India's western landscapes.
The Rider Behind the Blog
My journey began with a simple love for the open road. As a computer engineer by education and a marketing professional by trade, I found that my true passion lies in the freedom of exploration. My trusty Triumph Scrambler 400X has carried me over 10,000 kilometers across highways, through twisting ghats, and along serene coastal routes. Each ride isn't merely a journey from one point to another—it's an experience that leaves an indelible mark on my soul.
When I'm not leaning into curves on my Triumph, you might find me pedaling my Schnell Sierra 3.0 through local routes or simply sitting beside a quiet body of water, finding peace in the gentle ripples. Being Marathi by mother tongue, I hold a special connection to the diverse landscapes of Maharashtra—from its misty mountain passes to its pristine coastlines.
Why "Travelling Trails"?
This blog was born from a simple belief: every journey—whether a solo motorcycle ride, a challenging trek, or a weekend getaway—leaves a trail in your heart. These trails are made not just of the paths we take but of the emotions we feel, the challenges we overcome, and the memories we create.
Travelling Trails isn't just about documenting destinations. It's about capturing the complete experience:
- The anticipation as I plan routes and pack gear
- The motivation behind each journey—sometimes seeking adventure, sometimes escaping the blues
- The technical aspects—road conditions, weather patterns, riding techniques
- The practical details—food recommendations, accommodation options, must-visit spots
- The unexpected discoveries that often become the highlight of any trip
What You'll Find Here
This blog serves as both a personal journal and a resource for fellow travelers. Here, I document not just where I went, but how I got there, what I felt along the way, and what I learned in the process. From the initial spark of curiosity about a destination to the careful preparation and finally the journey itself—every aspect finds its place in these pages.
Whether you're planning your own adventure through Maharashtra's ghats, looking for motorcycle routes that challenge and reward in equal measure, or simply enjoy experiencing travel through someone else's perspective, you'll find something here that speaks to the wanderer in you.
Join the Journey
Every trail tells a story. Every journey leaves an impression. I invite you to follow along as I continue to explore, discover, and document the trails that have captured my heart—and perhaps inspire you to create some of your own.
After all, life itself is the most meaningful journey, and these travels are the trails we leave behind.
Ride on. Trek further. Discover more.
