Know Your Host

It is a second home to Amit and Nidhi Mahajan. They belong originally from Noida, but they are born travellers and believe that the journey is itself a destination. Amit works in an IT Telecom company, but the enthusiasm of travelling to less explored places made his wife and him to open a property of their own in a lesser-known village of Asankhet. Amit and Nidhi are amazing personalities who have lot of travel stories and experiences that the guests would love to hear.
