“A journey is not about the places you visit, but the stories you bring home to share”

This past Sunday, our team swapped their desks for

This past Sunday, our team swapped their desks for the running track at the Corpo Jumble 2026, held at Karma Lakelands in Gurugram. It's India's biggest inter-corporate running league, organised by Perfect Fitness Solutions and Coach Ravinder, bringing together teams from companies across the country to run, sweat and cheer each other on.

Watching them push through was genuinely inspiring. It showed the same commitment and resilience they bring to their work every day, just on a different kind of track. A good reminder that wellness doesn't always wait for a gym or a weekend, sometimes it just needs a starting line. From everyone at Creative Travel, a big cheer for our runners!

Some landscapes are beautiful from the ground. The Annapurna Range is extraordinary from 3,000 feet above it.

A hot air balloon ride over Pokhara lifts you above Phewa Lake as Machapuchare, Dhaulagiri, and the Annapurna peaks take shape on the horizon. At sunset, warm light moves across snow-covered summits and settles on the water below. Thirty minutes in the air, and Pokhara becomes an entirely different place.

There are views that stay with a traveller long after the trip ends. This is one of them. If you'd like to build Nepal journeys around moments like this, reach out at engage@creative.travel

One of India's greatest stepwells spent centuries

One of India's greatest stepwells spent centuries buried under silt. The silt is the reason it survived.

Built in 1063 CE by Queen Udayamati as a memorial to her husband, Rani ki Vav in Patan descends seven levels into the earth, its walls lined with over 500 principal sculptures and more than 1,000 minor ones. When archaeologists uncovered it in the 20th century, the sculptures were in near-perfect condition, sealed from centuries of weathering by the very sediment that had hidden them. Today, it appears on India's 100 rupee note.

Not all mountains ask you to push yourself. Some just ask you to pay attention.

The Letchmi Hills Trek in Munnar moves through four distinct landscapes in a single half-day: tea plantations, high-altitude grasslands, shola forests, and a private coffee and cardamom plantation tucked into the hills. Starting at 1,420 metres and climbing to nearly 1,950 metres, the trail follows a ridge with views that stretch as far as Anamudi, the highest peak in the Western Ghats outside the Himalayas.

Slow, scenic, and quietly extraordinary. If you'd like to build Kerala journeys around experiences like this, reach out at engage@creative.travel

A craft introduced by the Portuguese over 400 year

A craft introduced by the Portuguese over 400 years ago is still being kept alive by hand in a small coastal town in southern Sri Lanka.

Beeralu, or bobbin lace making, has been passed down through generations since it arrived with Portuguese traders. Today it survives almost exclusively in the south, where the Dikwella Lace Centre trains women in the craft, offering fair trade opportunities and employment alongside a lace museum where visitors can watch intricate patterns take shape, stitch by stitch, over weeks and months of careful work.

Some traditions survive because someone decided they were worth saving. If you'd like to experience Sri Lanka this way, reach out at engage@creative.travel

As an unforgettable FIFA World Cup comes to a clos

As an unforgettable FIFA World Cup comes to a close with Spain lifting the trophy, we’re looking back on a month of celebrating the beautiful game together.

At Creative Travel, we celebrate journeys. This month, we celebrated the journeys of football fans.

From lifelong loyalties to new favourites, our team came together in jerseys from around the world to honour the passion, pride, and camaraderie that make the World Cup so special.

It was also a celebration of the long-standing relationships we’ve built with our partners across the globe, united by a shared passion for bringing the world closer through travel.

After all, football is at its best when it’s shared. So is travel.

From the passion of Argentina to the precision of Spain, two footballing giants now stand one step away from glory. 🇦🇷🇪🇸⚽

One icon. One prodigy. One trophy. Whether it’s Messi’s magic or Yamal’s brilliance, football fans are in for a spectacle.

May the best team lift the trophy. 🏆

One of the world's largest Buddha statues doesn't

One of the world's largest Buddha statues doesn't just watch over Bhutan's capital. It holds 125,000 smaller Buddhas within it.

Buddha Dordenma stands 169 feet tall on a hilltop above Thimphu. Its gilded bronze form is visible from across the valley. Inside, across multiple meditation halls, sit 125,000 smaller Buddha statues: 100,000 at eight inches tall and 25,000 at twelve inches, every one cast in bronze and gilded in gold. Its construction is said to have fulfilled an 8th-century prophecy that a great statue would one day rise here to bring peace and happiness to the world.

Just outside Bhubaneswar stands a 9th-century temple that most of India has never heard of.

The Hirapur Yogini Temple is circular, open to the sky, and ringed by 64 intricately carved stone goddesses associated with tantric tradition. There are only a handful of Yogini temples surviving in the country. This is one of the finest. At dawn, a temple priest conducts a traditional puja ritual as your guide walks you through the site's history, tantric philosophy, and architectural significance.

The experience continues into a nearby bell metal crafts village, where artisans still shape brass and bronze using techniques centuries old.

Some of India's most extraordinary places aren't its most famous ones. To experience Odisha this way, reach out at engage@creative.travel

India has a leaning temple. It tilts at 9 degrees, more than twice the angle of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Ratneshwar Mahadev stands on the banks of the Ganga near Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi, built in the late 18th century. Legend says it was raised by a woman named Ratna Bai in her mother's honour, and that a curse on an unpaid maternal debt caused it to lean as punishment. In reality, its low placement on waterlogged foundations along the riverbank is what caused the tilt, leaving it partially submerged for much of the year.

There is no morning in the world quite like a morning in Varanasi.

A morning here moves through the Ganga Aarti at the ghats, past wrestlers keeping a centuries-old tradition alive at the Kushti Akhara, through the site where the poet-saint Tulsidas composed the Ramcharitmanas in the 16th century, and past the birthplace of Rani Lakshmibai. All before the city fully wakes up.

Some places ask you to slow down. Varanasi asks you to pay attention. If you'd like to experience mornings like this, reach out at engage@creative.travel

Is Ronaldo the GOAT? Will he step up and answer the question? 🐐
#Messi or #Ronaldo?

Ronaldo's following in India is nearly eight times the population of Portugal, proof that his biggest fanbase extends far beyond his homeland.

Millions of Indians share deep ties with Portugal through family, friendships, and history, making tonight's match feel a little more personal.

Now, Ronaldo and Portugal have one dream left: lifting their first-ever FIFA World Cup. Could this finally be their year? ⭐

O passado é história. O futuro é vitória.

Everyone knows Brazil, Argentina, Spain, England and the rest of football's biggest names. But how many know India's football story?

It goes back further than you'd expect, and it's more remarkable than most people realise. This World Cup season, we thought it was worth telling.

The American Dream. Football Edition.

Football in the United States has entered a new era. With a fearless young squad, growing belief, and the FIFA World Cup on home soil, Team USA is ready to make its mark on the biggest stage.

Fans at Team Creative are backing the USA tonight, hoping they continue their remarkable journey.

Can Team USA keep the dream alive?

India has one active volcano. Most people have never heard of it.

Barren Island rises out of the Bay of Bengal, about 140 kilometres northeast of Port Blair, uninhabited and off-limits to visitors. Its first recorded eruption dates to 1787, and it has been erupting intermittently ever since, most recently in 2025. Boat expeditions circle it at a safe distance. On active days, ash plumes and glowing lava remind you that the earth beneath is very much alive.

Raw, remote, and unlike anywhere else in India. Would you visit a place this untouched? Tell us in the comments. To explore India beyond the obvious, reach out at engage@creative.travel

It's coming home!🏴⚽

From the roar of "It's Coming Home" to the unwavering belief of the Three Lions faithful, England carries one of football's most passionate fanbases wherever they play.

The fans at Team Creative are proudly backing England tonight, hoping for another statement performance on the road to glory.

Will the Three Lions roar again? 🦁

Can Les Bleus add a third star to their crest? ⭐⭐⭐

From Zidane to Mbappé, France has never been short of footballing icons. With two FIFA World Cup titles already in the cabinet, Les Bleus begin another campaign with one goal in mind: bringing home a third.

France has a special place in the hearts of Indian football fans too. Whether it's the magic of the blue shirt, unforgettable World Cup moments, or generations of legendary players, Les Bleus continue to inspire millions across the country.

Allez Les Bleus.

Some cities wear their history on their sleeves. Shimla carries it in its architecture.

Once the summer capital of British India, this Himalayan hill town is home to an unlikely mix of Victorian, Georgian, and Tudor buildings, sitting side by side along winding colonial-era lanes. A heritage walk from Christ Church to the Viceregal Lodge moves through that history at the pace it deserves, past theatres, temples, castles, and government buildings that have stood largely unchanged for over a century.

Shimla is a different kind of mountain town. If you'd like to experience it this way, reach out at engage@creative.travel

The home of tiki-taka. The stage for the next generation.
Here's hoping Lamine Yamal lights up the pitch. Football, family, and friendships — all roads leading to Spain tonight.
