Hi, I am Indu.
From global cultural experiences to extreme thrills, hard to describe my all adventures & explorations. I have left my mark everywhere….
I have traveled all 7 continents: Antarctica, Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, South America.
Traveled extensively within my home country India as well. Right from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Ladakh to Andamans. All parts of India I have traveled.
And, my Epic Journey On Foot along the sacred river Ganga in India, that covered the distance of 5645 kilometers.
In 2010, the birth of a big dream, TRAVEL TO ALL 7 CONTINENTS.
I nurtured that dream as my lifetime goal. My big dream got fully realized in 2016, only because of my ample earnings in TV media. Hectic years in journalistic domain. Extensive TV shoots in different cities and countless nights in studios. My profession was a thrill, too.
My TV productions were mainly aimed at the economy, business, career and IT. Co-produced and scripted several corporate films. Prominent television series co-produced, scripted by me and telecast on national broadcaster Doordashan; Business Mantra-100 episodes, Success Track-26 episodes, India On The Move-72 episodes, E-Kranti-26 episodes. Prominent short films that I co produced and scripted; Australia Beyond Kangaroo & Cricket, Omnipresent Spain, Studying Abroad, Birds’ Eye View-Airport Authority of India. Prominent live business chat show that I associated with; SME CEO Knowledge Series filmed at different industrial clusters of India and telecast on CNBC TV 18 & CNBC Awaaz.
My love for exploratory travel was so intense that I always managed travel breaks. During that period, I was a journalist by profession, traveler by passion.
I left my high paying career once knew I had enough savings in my travel kitty to realize my sole goal of life, travel to all 7 continents.
Endless solo explorations and adventures followed. Became immortal in the most remote continent on earth, Antarctica. Climbed Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain of Africa. Trekked to Mt Everest base camp. Steaming walk to Pacaya volcano in Guatemala. Enthralling hike to Machu Picchu mountain in Peru. And, many more…
Triumph over mortal danger is a rebirth in true sense, this I discovered during my deadly adventures.
My travel blog…
Every time, when I traveled to new destination, my friends would want to hear tales of my journey. On April 4, 2015, when I came back home, after trekking to Mt Everest Base Camp, my friends pushed me to document my rich travel experience and share with global audience. That’s how the idea of my travel blog germinated. Being a journalist and being a traveler, it appeared to me a good combo to write my travel blog. My name Indu Indra K is a blend of my popular name Indu and my official name Indra Kumari. So Indu was natural choice while naming my blog Indu Travel Tales. Then planning, designing done and site uploaded. Thus, my travel blog https://www.indutraveltales.com was launched on May 28, 2015.
In 2020, the birth of another big dream, AN EPIC JOURNEY ON FOOT.
This dream came in the form of a 5000+ km Atulya Ganga Walkathon, an army veterans initiative. Besides reviving the Vedic tradition of Ganga Parikrama, the cause of Ganga rejuvenation made it very impactful. I accomplished this dream in 2021 walking 5645 km. My Ganga journey on foot altered the trajectory of my journeys. From being a world explorer, I turned into a Ganga explorer.
