Namaste! I'm Jyoti. A desi girl exploring the world.
From the heart of Haryana to the high Alps — my journey is about raw, authentic, budget-friendly travel. I do not believe exploring the world requires a millionaire's bank account. Just curiosity, courage, and a working public-transport app.
Every guide on this site is written from the ground, with prices in ₹, vegetarian food checked, and the visa rules for Indian passports made clear.
My App
Your travel toolkit, in one app.
The JTV App by Traveler Jyoti. Four utilities I built because I needed them on my own trips — plus every guide and vlog in one place.

Visa-free, VOA, e-Visa rules for an Indian passport.
Food Scanner
