Odyssean Journey

We have always dreamt of travelling around the world since we started our journey of life together in 1999. 

Prabir being a doctor and Sanjukta being an educator, it wasn’t necessarily easy to find a lot of time to spend on travelling together, but we have always desired to see the world around, especially the places with rich cultural history, unusual terrains and unique lifestyles of people.

We were both born and bred in Kolkata, India. We relocated to the United Kingdom in 2003 and have lived here since. This journey from the East to the West of the world was both challenging and rewarding. We have our roots in Indian culture and developed with the Western philosophy. We have the best of both worlds. However, our travellers’ mind inside have always been curious and intrigued by the journey of Marco Polo and many others who have travelled the world in the other direction. Prabir was keen to overland following the historic Silk Route, joining the dots through which culture evolved and human history had a whole new dimension.
