Who Is Traveler Swapnamay? Who Am I? The Boy from Sundarban Who Rode Across India
Born in Kumirmari, Sundarbans, I’ve spent 20 years exploring India’s forgotten trails. With a Bengali postgraduate degree and 15+ years of bike-riding passion, I decode myths about travel, proving adventures aren’t about money, but courage.
I chased crabs through mangrove forests. Today, I chase horizons on my bike. With:
- 20+ years of travel experience.
- 15+ years of solo bike adventures.
- A Bengali postgraduate degree (because even wanderers love Tagore!).
