“Born in Varanasi and finding a second home in Shillong, Megha knows both regions not as pins on a map, but as places filled with people, rituals and everyday stories.”

I was born and brought up in Varanasi—a city where time folds into itself, every lane whispers a centuries-old story, and each sunrise over the Ganga teaches you to see life through a different lens. That upbringing planted the first seed of what would eventually bloom into The Third Eye Travels.

Marriage brought me to Meghalaya, trading the sacred ghats of Uttar Pradesh for the cloud-kissed hills of the Northeast—two landscapes apart, yet alike in mystery, reverence, and spirit. My education in Tourism Management and Peace & Conflict Management from Banaras Hindu University taught me that travel is not merely movement from one point to another, but a quiet act of building bridges between people, cultures, and ways of seeing the world.

With over five years of experience designing bespoke itineraries across leading travel platforms, I founded The Third Eye Travels to offer journeys with unhurried pacing, authentic local stays, and genuine human connection. Every route is personally reviewed to ensure you experience the living soul of a place, far beyond crowded tourist checklists.
