What is #travelindia?


Started July 29, 2013, #TravelIndia is the very first and only chat session on twitter about Traveling in India. A Trend-setter in its own right, (read more about how we need to have more specific chats on twitter now ) For last 2 years, excluding the period of hiatus, Every week, this lively discussion highlighted a new countenance, a new aspect of India, and in most enjoyable manner. Due to time constraints, We now have a monthly discussion.

 India being the most diverse and colorful country in the world, is indubitably impossible to discuss in one chat session, and hence the chat on twitter, to show a new color of India, every time, and share the true experiences and most authentic information from the experts, w/ people who love India and by the people who love India equally.

I with a guest host, will be co-hosting the chat from official chat handle - @travelIndiaChat & @poonamparihar We will have experts from time to time who'll be able to answer specific questions. all you have to do is follow the hashtag  #travelindia and join in the discussion.
if you're passionate about everything India, and if you'd like to guest host, or sponsor the chat, or giveaways etc, please write to me at indigypsi at gmail dot com Also if you'd like to send questions to be included in chat, or any future topic suggestions, or any other query about the chat and/or India, please feel free to post them in the comments here, you can also put them on twitter with hashtag #travelindia and w/ my twitter handle @poonamparihar
