Top 10 Indian Travel Influencers on Instagram

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.

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.

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.

Siddhartha Joshi’s work sits at the intersection of travel, design, and photography. His blog, Sid-The-Wanderer, is known for its attention to detail, whether it’s architecture, street culture, or food.

In recent years, he has expanded into filmmaking and branded storytelling, working on projects that combine travel with narrative-driven visuals. His blog today feels less like a guide and more like a curated experience of places.

Archana Singh brings a unique blend of corporate experience and creative storytelling into her travel blog. With a background in brand management and marketing, she understands both sides of the industry, content and commerce.

Recently, Archana has been actively involved in consulting and mentoring within the travel content space, while continuing to collaborate with tourism boards and brands. Her journey reflects how storytelling, when combined with strategy, can build long-term influence.
