History and Culture

The Western Routes was founded in 2012. It started as a concept that found its roots in the love for the state of Maharashtra and its native culture. Since 2015, we have ventured into curating itineraries across the country which are themed around history, culture, wildlife or food. We are determined to provide an experience of India, free of cliches and bias; an experience encompassing the warmth, beauty and culture which our country has to offer.

Jayesh

I am a true-blue Punekar at heart. Travel has always been a passion. So after completing masters degrees in environmental science and responsible tourism management, I worked and traveled extensively in India and abroad, exploring unique destinations, their culture and most importantly their local food. Combining my two passions - food and travel, in 2012, I launched my own travel company, The Western Routes which focuses on creating culinary and cultural itineraries across India. Rustic and local flavors is what excites and inspires me while on my food & travel explorations. I firmly believes in the famous quote by James Michener, “If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home."

Prachi Chavan

Computer Engineer by education, Potterhead by heart, tomboy by nature and a traveller by passion. Poetry comes naturally to her and she has taken the road that would convey her travel stories through words. Prachi is an aspiring blogger who wants to explore new destinations and cultures and treks are her eternal love. Always up for a bit of exploration, she knows how to connect with people around and is always ready to lend a hand to anyone in need.

Som Koti

Somshekhar or Som for short, is a mechanical engineer who gave up his run-off-the-mill 9-5 job to experience the unexplored. His jolly nature brings the spark in the group, keeping it lively. He has a lot of stories about his solo travels and treks. Always cheerful & helping, he can tackle any kind of situation on the way. He is a budding photographer, loves nature and knows his part of protecting it. It literally takes minutes to make good friends.

Making connections and conversations gives me immense joy, something that travel brings along naturally. As my weekday role started keeping me anchored to my home city more than I enjoy, I had to find new ways to make these connections. What better than re-exploring my city's heritage, architecture, culture, food and language with you?
