A great way to kick off 2025 by sharing that the Immersive India Tour has been featured by Time Out London.
“Their top pick is the Immersive Indian Community Tour in Wembley, London, led by expert Vaishali Patel. Here, you’ll get fed delicious food, get to head inside the pretty incredible Shri Sanatan Hindu temple, be taught about the cultural customs, and even get taught how to properly wear a sari. Sounds like a pretty perfect Saturday morning to us.”
I never could have imagined this when it all began.
This recognition is so special—a reflection of the culture, stories, and incredible people who’ve joined me on this journey.
Here’s to even more connection, discovery, and shared experiences!

Storytelling knows no borders 🌎
In this heartfelt testimonial, a @trip.com_uk team member reflects on how the stories shared during the Immersive India Tour transported him back to his childhood with his grandmother in rural China. ❤️
It’s remarkable how, in the UK, two people from entirely different backgrounds (India + China) can find common ground through the power of culture and storytelling.
This is the magic of cultural tourism—bringing us closer, bridging worlds, and reminding us of the shared threads in our diverse lives. 🌍💫

Such a joy…
Hear from one of our corporate guests at @trip as he shares his surprising discovery of the incredible depth within just one state of India - Gujarat - during the Immersive India Tour.
His reflections remind me of the endless layers of culture, history, and traditions across India’s 28 states—each offering a story as rich and vibrant as the last.
Press play to see why this tour is a must for teams looking to explore, learn, and connect beyond the usual.

Seeing my tour featured in @euronewstravel felt incredible!
It was my first write-up, and honestly, I was so surprised and grateful that someone enjoyed it enough to share it.
It’s a reminder of how powerful it can be to share your culture with others.
For many of us Indians, Ealing Road is just a part of everyday life, but seeing how much curiosity and wonder it sparked in someone from a different culture made me appreciate it in a whole new way.
What surprised me more, was how much Indian people appreciated the learnings and seeing their culture shared.
It’s amazing to create those connections through something that feels so familiar to me.
That sense of discovery and connection is exactly why I love to travel and immerse myself in other cultures—now, I get to offer that experience to others right here in London. It’s been a beautiful, enriching and fulfilling journey. ✨

Throwback to 9 months ago, when my Immersive India tour was featured in The @guardian
It was a moment that reminded me of the power of surrendering to the unknown, staying curious, and trusting the process.
It’s crazy to think that creating a tour was never on my radar.
At a low point in my life, I leaned into my creative self by reading *The Artist’s Way* and simply enjoyed the process with no goals in mind.
Around this time, I met Alessandra Alonso, who endorsed my @solo.explorers book and introduced me to @womenintravel_cic Tour Guiding Academy. I saw it as an expansion of my creativity and just said yes!
Since then, I’ve embraced every opportunity—press tours, corporate tours, friends, family, and more.
Partnering with Women in Travel gave me the support I needed to take this leap.
Now, almost a year later, it’s been a joy to contribute to cultural inclusiveness through education and understanding, meet incredible people, and have fun along the way. I get to transfer my public speaking skills to a new environment.
Here’s to more adventures and saying yes to whatever comes next!

Day 7 of Navratri is dedicated to Kalaratri, the fiercest form of Goddess Durga. (Check out the video to see what happens during Navratri celebrations).
Known as the destroyer of darkness and evil, Kalaratri embodies the intense power needed to remove fear and negativity.
Her appearance is dark and fearsome, with a necklace of lightning, disheveled hair, and a third eye that radiates fire.
Despite her terrifying appearance, she is considered a protector, bringing strength and courage to her devotees.
Kalaratri rides a donkey, and she carries a sword and a noose, symbolising the destruction of ignorance and evil.
Worshipping her on Day 7 is believed to remove obstacles, drive away negative energies, and help overcome deep-seated fears.
She is associated with the Crown Chakra, which governs spiritual enlightenment and connection to the divine.
Meditating on this chakra helps us transcend worldly concerns and connect with a higher consciousness.
Crown Chakra Meditation (Day 7):
1. Sit comfortably, with your spine straight, and close your eyes.
2. Take a few deep breaths, allowing yourself to relax with each inhale and exhale.
3. Focus your attention on the top of your head, where the Crown Chakra is located.
4. Visualise a bright violet or white light glowing at the crown of your head, radiating upwards.
5. With each breath, imagine this light expanding, connecting you to the universe and divine energy.
6. As you breathe in, feel this light filling you with wisdom, peace, and spiritual awareness.
7. As you breathe out, release any attachments, fears, or negative thoughts.
8. Stay in this space of connection and openness for a few moments, letting yourself feel a deep sense of peace and unity.
9. When you’re ready, slowly bring your awareness back to your body and open your eyes.
This meditation helps you connect with higher consciousness, inviting Kalaratri’s fierce energy to clear any blocks and open your mind to spiritual clarity.
