From the Himalayas to Goa, how India’s travel destinations inspire Lovebirds founders Gursi Singh and Amrita Khanna

When is the best time to go?
Delhi is atrocious in the summer so it’s a good time to leave the city. Make sure you take your favourite books and maybe your canvas and paint, there’s so much to be inspired by. We usually go down south in the winter and up north in summer.

Pro tip? Go to the non-touristy places to really understand the different cultures, crafts, and cuisines, and immerse yourself in them. 

What are some unmissable things to do and see and eat?
Amrita and I love Ankola, a village in South Goa away from the touristy places—it’s really calm and one can connect with nature. We’re particularly fond of Honnebail Beach with its pristine view and the seclusion it allows us. It’s an unparalleled luxury to pick from the farm and eat from the trees. We love indulging in Carnatic food [a kind of South Indian cuisine] with its appams, idlis and especially the coconut chutneys.

How have these places inspired you?
Most of our creative efforts and concepts come to fruition from being able to rest, go out, get inspired, and be immersed in one’s thoughts. The main takeaway from our travels is to be one with nature, get to see new cultures and how people live them and see how they thrive. Since we have two girls, we need to take them out from time to time away from the city and let them experience the slow life where they can connect with nature, with themselves and with each other.
