Hi there!



Welcome to Cobblestone Chronicles! 

Sharing travel stories is always fun and easy but sharing them online is easier and when a group of oddballs come together and decide that they need a platform to share their bit of fascinating travel stories with the world…you have Cobblestone Chronicles!

 We are Shamita, Neha, Ankur and Ajinkya – each one of us finding new ways to make the most of our travel memories and, when we’re not typing away work emails or catching up over the weekends, we’re thinking of ways to give you a glimpse of these travel stories! Packed with eventful writing, personal experiences and a whole lot of knowledge, our travel tales are sure to provide you with everything you need to know before you decide where to backpack!

 Though we’re busy trying to make fascinating CV's instead of our own travel journals, we do love to venture out and rediscover ourselves, live in the moment, click pictures of sunsets and embarrassing travel selfies, ignore diet plans for the best food in town, fill in our travel diaries as much as we can and forget our gym membership more often than not. But honestly, who doesn’t, right? Unless you’re one of those, “ugh, another travel blog” kind of person, you’re going to have fun reading what we have in store for you! Our writing focuses on destinations we’ve individually been to and we hope our tales impel YOU to visit some of these absolutely breathtaking places because after all, life is a daring adventure or nothing at all, isn’t it?

Feel free to get in touch with us to share your travel stories, or just drop by to say Hi! Find us at: Cobblestone.Chronicles@gmail.com

Travel. Experience. Share.

Pench: Where the Tale of ‘The Jungle Book’ Comes Alive

You won’t believe me at first when I say, we’ve known the mystic land of Pench ever since we were little kids. We loved every bit of how fiction and reality interlaced, weaving an age old story of the adventurous little Mowgli and his wild friends who found comfort in the wilderness, swayed from branches all day, fought the mighty Shere Khan and went after the Red Flower! Take a peek into your childhood days when watching the venturesome Mowgli on TV made you smile. I remember how diligently I never missed an episode! In the cartoon, Mowgli’s home was the astounding forest of Pench, a place that inspired Rudyard Kipling to pen down one of the most loved and appreciated work of children’s literature; The Jungle Book. I almost instantly fell in love with this jungle on my very first safari, understanding why Kipling had decided upon this very forest as the setting for his story. Nestled in the Chhindwara and Seoni districts of Madhya Pradesh, Pench National Park g

Maqtha: Where the Walls Come to Life...

Art has augmented human culture. It influences our way of thinking, our way of living. It has gilded our homes, stained our clothes, sometimes, even mended our souls. It influences communities, it helps cultivate opinions, foster values and translate experiences across space and time.   A striking example of the influence of art on a community is the Maqtha Art district in Hyderabad. In 2017, St+art foundation collaborated with more than 30 artists from across the globe and curated the idea of converting a regular village - Maqtha into an eye-catching landmark for the City of Pearls.  Visiting Maqtha was on the top of my 'Must visit places in Hyderabad ' list during my internship. However, it ended up being the last place I actually found myself ticking off of that list and boy was I glad. As architects, we are often used to hearing the term 'community living' in an urban scenario. However unfortunately, never really get to experience it first hand as we are

Mysore - A Treat of Royalty

Mysore’s ace of spade is the old-school, yet contemporary character that the city retains - the history, the archaic colonial architecture, and the aura of camaraderie that engulfs this city! Few destinations globally are equally prominent for their folklore, food, and fortune. Mysore is one such place where each one of these aspects constitute the core values of this city. Mysore boasts regal alcazars, heavenly gardens, ravishing cuisines, and dazzling desserts - a city that is successful in upholding an unperturbed and blasé convention of life despite the ever increasing tourism brought about by the cultural prosperity and unmatched festivities. This city might be the second largest in the state of Karnataka, but most prominently, it is known as the ‘cultural capital’ of the state! I visited this scintillating city in the festival of ‘Navaratri’. In contrast to other parts of the country where Dussehra is only celebrated for one day, Mysore celebrates this festival in
