Amit Bhatia & Sumita Sharma

Total Vote(s) : 187 | Total Testimonial(s) : 13

We are a crazy, loony, yet daring couple, who met nine years ago, started dating six years ago and got married a year and a half ago. While Sumi is mad about rock (Cobain is her first love and Janis her style icon), I have been caught on candid camera singing to the tune of “teri aur” from Singh is King. She loves the hills and I am learning to dive. She LIVES on Godiva chocolates and I can’t do without desi ghee ke paranthe. I am on the rungs of the corporate ladder as Business Consultant at Accenture and Sumi has quit her job as a Senior Software Engineer at a leading software company to search for her calling (drums? graphic designing? environmental researcher?). Together, we are ALWAYS on the look-out for change and adventure! We spell fun, confusion, madness and melodrama. Together we have traveled across continents and several states in India. We are looking forward to joining yet another travel expedition; maybe she will finally find her calling on the path to nowhere!

We are the best candidates because...

after bungee jumping, reverse bungee, para-sailing, under sea walk, jet-skiing, submarine rides, road trips across Rajasthan and Himachal, patting and walking tigers, go-carting and countless roller coasters later, we still hunger for more!!!

Our Travel Plan

As we have mostly lived in Delhi, we have not greatly explored the west and south of the country. So our plan is to travel extensively across Maharashtra, Kerala and other southern states.

Our Travelogue

Between us, our adventures span across various continents: from Mauritius's banana boat rides to Kanchanburi Tiger temple in Thailand, from the Nobel Museum in Stockholm to Madame Tussads in London, from road trips across Detroit and Chicago to Ranthambore Tiger Sanctuary in India, from a Swedish cruise to the beautiful beaches of Maldives, from a Night Safari in Singapore to trekking in Matheran in India, from Bangkok's Floating Market to Nordic walks in Finland! Yet there is still so much left to explore...
