Kavya Saxena is on the road to map Indian villages with their native craft
After 12 months and countless miles of travelling solo, Kavya Saxena is richer by innumerable friends, unmeasurable kindness from people and the knowledge that busts myths about Indian highways being unsafe. The one thing that she wants to speak about the most is about tourism in India. Ever since she started her journey in September 2020, Kavya has been touring the countryside of India on a Mahindra Scorpio S11 to understand life away from online deliveries, high-end grocery stores and high-speed routers. She says, “I want to tell people that tourism in India is not just about seeing Indian cities, shopping for curios at premium handicraft boutiques, beach holidays or beautiful viewpoints atop a hill or mountain.” Kavya has travelled to almost all Indian states except Maharashtra and wants to focus on travelling to villages, where travellers can experience first hand, the life of our farmers and learn about their food, crafts and crops. For this, she draws upon her extensive experience as corporate HR personnel for over 10 years with companies like Indian oil, Tree of Life Hotels & Resorts, Vajor.More Related News
