- ABOUT US -
Hi! We are Pooja & Shravan, an illustrator-engineer duo from Bangalore brought together by the love of travel and adventure.
We have traveled together since the winter of 2016. On one such trip, we started documenting these travels on a humble phone camera. We soon realised that we really enjoy capturing these experiences. We are entirely self taught (students of the internet) and have learnt from binging on brilliant creators over the years.
In our videos you might find glimpses of places that are not spoken about enough. We always vouch for spots that are somewhat the underdogs. Our vlogs are sometimes vlog-ish and sometimes a documentation of the place as we see it. We hope that watching these videos will bring a little dose of joy to your day.
We love reading your comments and hearing your thoughts.
They motivate us and help us steer our creative path.
With love,
Pooja & Shravan

When did you go on this trip?
@@suediamond8780 This trip was done in April 2022 🙂
The hell are you guys so underrated? Some of the best Iceland info and photography here. Just 1 que. Can vegetarians have any options there?
Hey Sagar thanks man!😃 So vegetarian food is a bit hard to come by, but almost every restaurant would have atleast one vegan variant. You won’t run into issues in the better known places, however in off-the-map areas it’s better to go bag some groceries. And if nothing else, there’s always bread.🥲
Have never seen anyone do it this simply and superbly!
Have watched countless Iceland videos till now and this is probably the best created by a fellow Indian. Have always felt that the two Iceland road trip videos by Allan Su as 'the perfect videos' in that genre. No hysterics, no needless hyperboles - just breathtaking scenery and clear guidance on the places to visit. Your videos come very close to those videos in terms of production quality. I will check out your other videos in the Iceland series and you have now gained a new subscriber. Keep up the good work!
Hey thank you so much for this comment 😄😄😄. It’s an absolute honour to be compared to the likes of Alan su when it comes to travel guides. We have been big admirers of his work for many years. Your comment motivates us to create more such videos in the future 😄😄
Totally man! Even for me, Allan Su's video was perfect so far on Iceland but when I came across this vlog, I found it way better. ♥♥
Even I'm a big fan of Allan Su's videos. Glad I came across this one too.
OCI now settled in Canada and planning to visit Iceland in Sept 2024.
Your explanation of Iceland 14 days trip is the best I have found and I have become your fan.
I feel more comfortable going to Iceland now. It’s like you did all the planning. Thank you!

I'm really glad I've stumbled upon your channel! The last few weeks I've been watching countless videos about roundtrips in Iceland, but your videos really stand out.

Thank you so much for this beautiful comment. It only keeps us motivated to make more such videos. We have a new one dropping the coming weekend. So do stay tuned :-)
Never have I ever Subscribed to an Indian Travel Channel, cuz all they do is show there face keeping the front camera on, we don't wanna see your face man show us the travel beauty, but it changed today.
You are the first one I have seen who really know how to represent a travel documentary and your story telling way is so good, Thank you
(I am Indian before yall start Complaining )
Haha thank you so much 😁😁. We’re happy that you appreciate and liked our videos. Coincidentally, we will be uploading a “creative experiment” if we may call it that, Tomorrow. And this one has more of them front facing camera, showing your face sequences (which we aren’t big fans off either tbh) . You may be the perfect person to give us a feedback for that video. So please do watch and let us know what you think. Again, thank you so much for watching our videos and showing the love 😁😁😁
oh wow wow wow as always
Thank you so much 😀
Beautiful and well organized video!
Thank you so much Adam. Hope it helps you travel to Iceland 😊😊

Excellent video looking forward to my trip but I was wondering which month did you guys travel to Iceland. I have been looking around but probably missed it.
Hi pooja and shravan you guys are so adorable with the art of story telling i am literally seeing iceland with you guys.. running short of words on the epic video coverage showing the best places and things to do without any distration .. keeps me engaged ❤ from bangalore .. hope to catch you guys soon in some countries

Okay ..this is THE BEST travel guide video i have ever seen(and trust i watch a lot of them).btw where are u guys living? "Nattil evdeya😌?"
Greetings from an Indian from Dubai...Beautiful and well made video. Iceland has been in my bucket list since last couple of years. I have gone through so much material on Iceland and your video is one of the best I have come across. Keep it up guys, well done.
PS: Do ping me whenever you in my part of the world. Would love to meet you guys in person.
Thank you so much for this comment. As relatively small creators, comments like these keep us going and motivate us to do more such videos. We will definitely take you up on that offer the next time we are around Dubai 😃😃😃
@@PoojaShravan Always remember "baby steps lead to giant strides" and you are on the right path. All the best !!.
I am really glad to stumble upon your channel. Best video I have come across while researching about Iceland.
Could you please name the car rental you have used for your trip and how was the experience with the company?
😊
Absolutely beautiful film work! Headed to Iceland in March of ‘24 with my Sony A7S3. Question… did you film in S-LOG or in S-CINE? It’s beautiful work!
great InSite
Hi just loved your video. I would have watched this video for atleast 3 times. Can u also specify accommodations that you stayed and how many days in each place.
Terrific video. My wife and I want to make this trip in the next few years. Did you run into any problems flying your drone? My Mini 3 Pro is an essential part of my travel photography kit these days.
Hi! I am planning for Iceland Trip this year in the September Month. Kudos to you guys for this gem of a video. I am creating my plan by taking reference from your video. I have just one query that where have you included the fuel prices in the cost breakdown?
Hey thanks Abakash… 😁😁😁. The fuel is part of the car rental section btw 😊😊
What a great video made by you guys and surely will take full notes as I'm planning a trip to Iceland in April as well. Just had few questions, hope you can answer these ^^
1) Did you take International Driving Permit to drive a car in Iceland?
2) How was the experience of driving there? I mean the car has Left side driving wheel or right side? And how was the overall road conditions if we take 2WD car compare to 4X4.
3) Also did you sightseeing tickets like Ice hiking / Whale watching online or did you book from local tour agency there by cash? What are some mandatory stuff to book online before going there? My same question will go for Hotels/ Accommodation - is it cheap to walk-in or book in prior online?
4) Did you not find any northern light phenomena during your entire stay in April?
Thanks in advance XD
Did you see Aurora / Nothern Light in April?? Great Vids
Unfortunately we didn't. We did stay at Borgarnes for a night to catch the northern lights but didn't luck out. Also, we pretty much slept through the nights 😛. So there are good chances that we would have missed them. FYI, the chances of spotting norther lights dips during April. Dec, Jan, feb are the best time to catch them. Hope this helps 🙂
Brilliant video! Can you confirm if the lens information on Sigma is correct in your description?
wowjust wow
Thank you so much 😊😊
I will visit
Thank you so much for the wonderful itinerary! I was really worried about travelling around Iceland because only my husband drives, and we are city dwellers so we have never been on uneven gravel tracks or driven a 4x4. This gives me hope.
But I have a question: while travelling around, is it easy to find pitstops with grocery stores? Should we always buy more for a couple of days and keep them in our fridges while moving from accom to accom, or would it be relatively easy? I’m trying to avoid a situation where we starve because we didn’t manage to buy groceries.
Thank you so much 😀😀. Finding grocery stores can get difficult. You will only find them in mid sized towns and in a few gas stations. We would recommend to load up every 4 to 5 days in towns and store them in a fridge. Otherwise you may waste a lot of time just trying to find grocery.
FYI, iceland is a very small country… the entire ring road loop can be driven in under 24 hours. Assuming even a 10 itinerary, you may drive for about 4 to 5 hours at max each day. That should not be a problem with a single driver 😄😄. Happy travels ☺️☺️
nice video, did you find accommodation for each day you stopped ? such as Vik or Höfn
thx
I came here after seeing your comment in Tanya's video🤪
Hello there! And thank you for watching😄
Hey, nice video.
One question: - are their any adventure motorcycle rentals their to explore the offfoads more?
I honestly wasnt expecting this video to be that good, but dayuum you guys have produced this really well !! I am planning to go during mid sept-oct , everyother price seems okay apart from the cost of airbnb and hotels. Those are really very expensive. Any suggestions??
Hi.. thank you so much 😀. The Hotels and Airbnbs in Iceland are relatively more expensive compared to the rest of EU. The ones we took were average in terms of comfort. We would rank them as 3 stars. You could go for cheaper ones depending on the kind of comfort level you are looking for. Having said that.... Iceland, sadly, is an expensive place 😞
@@PoojaShravan thnq so much. The only thing i look for in a stay is a western toilet and the bumgum😂. Baaki i can adjust interms of comfort level. Goodluck for your future adventures
I have always done budget trips ....but aapke video ke baad Iceland ghumne ka man kr gya camper van se ..will plan shortly..btw i found you through kraig Adams video comments
Thank you so much for watching man. 😊😊😊Camper vans is the cheapest way to go in Iceland…. you can hitchhike… but it’s going to be very very (very) difficult.
I m planning for Iceland I have seen so many videos on Internet but I loved your one is amazing..hey I want to know about march..is it possible to hunt northernlights in march ??
There are chances if you go towards the north. But our guess is that its going to be 2/10 nights. Dec/Jan are the best months to spot northern lights.
