Dive into India and relive the memorable experiences of real travellers through the India Chalo podcast. Host Rohan Bansal connects with guests from his home base of Delhi, engaging in inspiring conversations on exotic destinations. You've likely heard of Goa, Sikkim or Jaipur, but Rohan and his guests will also introduce you to new discoveries, in distant corners: Chitkul in Himachal Pradesh, deep in the heart of the Himalaya, or Vizag in tropical Andhra Pradesh.

There's lots of great info for planning a trip around India: detailed itineraries, attractions and activities. Each episode arrives however with an emphasis on experiences, of what it's like to be trekking through the mountains or navigating through a busy local market.
 
The India podcasting scene itself is a topic of discussion too, as Rohan points out there have not been a lot of Indian creators publishing consistently, yet. This encompasses all niches and topics, but travel is no exception. India Chalo and The Musafir Stories (Travel Podcast the World Ep. 20) are part of a growing wave of made-in-India travel podcasts, promoting travel in India to both a foreign and domestic audience. When you consider that with well over a billion people, a middle class of roughly 25% of the population suggests a domestic market alone of roughly 350 million people. Many are only starting to really explore their own country.
 
This gives India Chalo an interesting perspective as a podcast: it speaks to a domestic audience, but is equally applicable to the foreign traveller. Indeed, Rohan is always searching for non-Indian travellers to share their stories of journeying around the country, so if you fit that description, do consider getting in touch. But if you want to feel like a savvy traveller to India, and can imagine yourself navigating the train stations and chowks with ease, you'll be right at home listening to India Chalo.
 
 
Action Advice
 
11:57 - Could podcasting be the next big thing in travel content, after blogging?
 
17:59 - On the pressure to publish every week, and often compromising on quality as a result.
 
21:03 - Have your guests share their own photos via your Instagram, and record their own clips talking about being on the show. Great for engagement and promotion.
 
30:04 - Giving yourself permission to tell your own stories and allow the audience to get to know you. It's easy to forget that they don't know what you know, or what you've done/where you've been.
