Savi and Vid are the couple who turned wanderlust into a way of life, and then turned that life into an empire. Their story, which began in high school and evolved through over 115 countries worth of stamps, late-night flights, and shared sunrises, is one of travel’s most enduring love stories. As the faces behind Bruised Passports, they’ve long been the gold standard for Indian travel content: trusted for meticulous itineraries, honest destination reviews, packing wisdom, and the kind of photography that makes a grey Tuesday feel insufferable. In recent years, they’ve expanded far beyond content creation. Their best-selling book, Bruised Passports: Travelling the World as Digital Nomads, published with Harper Collins, became a guide for anyone dreaming of designing their own life around travel. They’ve spoken at TEDx stages, been featured on Discovery Channel, National Geographic, CNN, and BBC, and won awards from Outlook Travel, Travel & Leisure, and Forbes. Their latest move, the launch of the Bruised Passports App, a curated travel platform offering first-hand information, tips, and packing guides for over 100 countries, signals that they’re not just documenting the future of travel; they’re actively building it. The duo has also launched Label Bruised Passports, their own line of travel accessories, because of course they have.

- Top 10 Indian Travel Influencers on Instagram
Summary
Travel today is no longer just about ticking destinations off a list, it’s about experiences, perspectives, and stories that stay with you long after the trip ends. And a big part of how people now discover these experiences is through travel creators who document their journeys in real time.
With social media shaping how we plan, book, and even dream about travel, influencers have become key voices in this space. From uncovering hidden gems and sharing practical itineraries to highlighting sustainable ways to explore the world, they’ve turned travel into something far more immersive and accessible. Their content doesn’t just inspire wanderlust, it helps people actually act on it.
For brands too, this space offers a natural fit. Travel influencers seamlessly integrate products, services, and experiences into their journeys, making recommendations feel authentic and experience-led rather than promotional.
Keeping this evolving landscape in mind, we’ve put together a list of Indian travel influencers who continue to stay relevant, not just through where they go, but through how they tell their stories and engage with their audience today.

About the Creator
Shenaz Treasurywala may have started out as a Bollywood actress and MTV VJ, but travel has long been her truest calling. A quick scroll through her social media feels less like watching a highlight reel and more like seeing the world through the eyes of someone genuinely delighted to be in it. Her content isn’t just visually stunning, it carries a point of view, often weaving in personal anecdotes, cultural observations, and a warmth that keeps people coming back. More recently, Shenaz has grown into a quiet but committed advocate for responsible and sustainable travel, actively championing eco-conscious habits and encouraging her community to leave destinations better than they found them. She was recognised at the YouTube Power Creator Awards 2025, a milestone that reflects not just her reach but the quality of storytelling she’s consistently delivered. Whether she’s road-tripping through India or jetting off to somewhere new, Shenaz has a way of making the destination feel secondary to the experience, and that, more than anything, is what sets her apart.

About the Creator
Self-described mountain goat. Lonely Planet Correspondent. Forbes Top 100 Creator. Brinda Sharma has accumulated quite a few titles, but the one that fits best is simply this: someone who loves mountains more than most people love anything. From the Himalayas to the Dolomites, her feed is a continuous love letter to high-altitude landscapes, but don’t be fooled into thinking that’s all she does. She captures the street food, the offbeat detours, the adventure sports, and the cultural richness of wherever she is, wrapping it all in a storytelling style that feels engaged and alive. Having featured on Forbes India’s Top 100 Creators list consistently from 2022 to 2024, Brinda has cemented her place among the most recognisable names in Indian travel content. Her recent brand collaborations, including Mercedes and Ray-Ban, reflect the growing ambition of her work, which increasingly sits at the intersection of adventure travel and aspirational lifestyle. Her audience keeps growing because she never makes it look effortful; she just makes it look like the most obvious way to live.

About the Creator
Nivedith Gajapathy lives by a simple idea: travel for experiences, not destinations. That philosophy is at the core of everything he has built under the #MacroTraveller brand, which he started back in 2008, making him one of the earliest travel bloggers from Bengaluru and from India at large.
He has now visited over 50 countries, and his content gives audiences a genuinely immersive look at each one, luxury hotel reviews, local cuisine, cultural experiences, and the kind of insider knowledge that only comes from 200+ days of travel a year. He has collaborated on over 5,000 campaigns and founded GVMediaTech, a prominent influencer and digital marketing firm, in 2015. He has been featured on Lonely Planet, TravelXP, the Times of India, and National Geographic, and has worked with AirAsia as part of his ongoing travel partnerships. His photography skills are as much a part of his brand as the writing, he has a rare ability to make a simple roadside meal look as compelling as a five-star spread. #MacroTraveller is now a fully-fledged brand with merchandise, a growing digital footprint, and a mission to be the definitive one-stop source for luxury travel and lifestyle content from India
