About Lakshmi Sharath
Lakshmi Sharath is an Indian travel writer, photographer and digital influencer who launched her blog in 2005 after a long media career. She says she has covered five continents and more than 25 countries while also exploring India extensively. The site now lists more than 1,100 posts in its sitemap dating from 2019 onward and is used to publish destination guides, photo features, festival coverage and practical how-to pieces. Lakshmi also works with tourism boards and brands, and many posts include her photography and occasional embedded video.
If travel writing were a scrapbook, this one would be a well-thumbed, expertly captioned volume. Lakshmi writes in a warm, first-person style that mixes personal anecdotes with practical detail, from evocative photo features like Temples of Bhubaneshwar to nuts-and-bolts guides such as the Indonesia eVisa post. The site reads like a seasoned travel editor's notebook: textured descriptions, festival reports and region-by-region suggestions, often illustrated with many photos and the occasional video. Updates arrive a few times a year, and recent posts show both long-form guides and shorter experience pieces useful for travellers to India, Southeast Asia and beyond.
