Tripoto

We read about wild and free outdoor junkies taking over the road and are stunned with their amazing real-life adventures. We have also see jet-setting moms going on an adventure, but hardly ever do we come across an Indian mother hitting the road with a backpack and a baby.

This is the story of Deenaz Raisinghani, who is back from the Euro trip she took last year with her daughter Arianna. Now her Instagram is well-stocked with travel inspiration for all, especially Indian mothers who often give up on their travel plans after the responsibility of motherhood comes their way.

To see Deenaz travelling with her one-year-old daughter is like opening a new chapter in the book of the growing culture of adventure in India.

The couple wanted to travel with their daughter in the first year of her birth, so they took a trip to Bhutan when Arianna was just 7 months old. With the baby strapped on to her back, Deenaz hiked with her husband to the Tiger's Nest Monastery, which is a bucket list adventure for travellers all across the world.

Deenaz and her husband wanted to take this trip before their daughter turned two. Most importantly, on this journey, they chose to backpack and complete the trip in the most economical way possible. They bought Eurorail tickets and travelled by local transport throughout the trip.

To travel with a child is to make her aware of the different sights, foods, smells and the inspiring diversity in the world. Deenaz urges other Indian mothers to find time to travel with their kids.
