About the Creator

Explore India Tourism was founded by Aaron Blackwood, a lifelong traveler with a deep fascination for India’s diversity and depth. Though based in Wellington, New Zealand, Aaron has spent years wandering across India—from the bustling streets of Delhi to the quiet monasteries of Ladakh. What began as personal journals and photo logs evolved into this website, born from a desire to share authentic, reliable, and inspiring travel knowledge with others who feel the same pull toward India.

Why This Website Exists

Too many travel resources offer surface-level lists or generic advice. We created Explore India Tourism because we wanted something better: a trusted companion for travelers who crave depth, authenticity, and connection. We don’t just list places—we tell their stories, explain their significance, and help you understand the culture behind them.

Our Values

We believe in responsible, respectful, and sustainable travel. Every recommendation is rooted in personal experience and cultural sensitivity. We prioritize local voices, support small businesses, and avoid overtourism hotspots unless they offer genuine, well-managed experiences. Our content is updated regularly, fact-checked, and written with the traveler’s best interests at heart.
