With stunning beaches, a rich culture, ancient heritage buildings and majestic temples, India is an enthralling country to visit. Travelers to the country do benefit from a little guidance concerning the best places to visit, suited to their ambitions and taste. A travel blogger travels to new locales, not always exotic, and writes about the experiences he/she had over there. Sounds easy? Well, it is not. A travel blogger’s job is to come back with a one of a kind experience and describe what made the trip stand out; to bring out stories lurking in most unimaginable places and narrate them with such vigor that the reader’s intrigue is piqued. This is what makes a good blogger. We have listed the top 10 Indian travel bloggers who convey the true sense of India. Follow them for inspiration and ideas.
