About us

We’re a couple (Debanshee & Ayush) on a mission to explore India & the world, not through glossy postcards or curated Instagram grids, but through the quiet corners, untold stories, and everyday wonders that make each place unforgettable.

Our travels are more about the stories of places that makes them what they stand for. You won’t always find us at the must-see monument or the trendiest café (though we’re not above a good filter coffee).

Instead, we’re more likely to be sipping chai with an old bookseller in Kolkata, tracing faded murals in Kochi’s forgotten lanes, exploring locked-up havelis in Lucknow, or chasing down midnight biryani in a sleepy Hyderabad bylane.

We believe that every city has a soul, and it usually lives far from where the tour buses stop.

This site is our travel journal:

  • Part guide to the offbeat and overlooked
  • Part storybook of the people, places, and moments we meet along the way

Our aim is to uncover the India & the world that doesn’t always make it to the brochures. The whispered legends, the accidental detours, the smells, sounds, and sights that locals carry in their hearts.

We’re not here to rush.
We travel slowly, listen deeply, and write honestly.

No clichés. No filters. Just travel: unpolished, layered, and alive.

Welcome to our corner of the road.
Come wander with us.

Welcome to the Invisible Cities!

We’re a couple who are exploring India, one hidden story at a time.
Not just the Insta-famous spots, we’re talking chai with old booksellers in Kolkata, secret art alleys in Kochi, forgotten havelis in Lucknow, and midnight biryani runs in Hyderabad.

We dig beneath the surface of Indian cities to find the places that locals love, the stories no one’s telling, and the magic tucked away in everyday moments.

This site is our travel journal: part guide, part storybook that is packed with offbeat finds, cultural curiosities, and real conversations from the road.

No clichés. No filters. Just travel. Unpolished and unforgettable.
