Hi, I am Suranjiv.

A Traveller, Food Connoisseur, Adventurer, Fitness Enthusiast.

Yes, that’s me!

When I travel, I immerse myself into the place I visit. I try to learn the culture, the eating habits, the history of the place, capture the beauty through my eyes – and of my camera too!

I love to discover a place through its cuisines, its flavours, drinks – every dish has a story to tell. Eat like a Local – that’s what I follow.

I seek adventure – in my work, life and travels. Motorcycle expedition across countries, trekking through rough terrains, camping on a vast desert full of fossils, driving through some highest   motor-able passes, exploring out-of-the-way places – anything that challenges me out of my comfort zone is what I look for.

Fitness for me is a way of life. After four decades in this world, I can say I have been pretty fit and in a good shape till now. For me, my body is my temple and there is no substitute for healthy body. But that doesn’t mean I do not go for the forbidden fruit! Have fun, Enjoy life, Stay Fit – my motto.

After 14 years of working in the corporate sector I decided it was time to shift and pursue my interest and passion of promoting sports tourism, adventure travels and the pristine beauty of the North East India. And thus NEICATS …The Adventure Company! was formed, with a mission – Adventure, Experience, for everyone. NEICATS is home to some of the most unique trips in the pristine locations of North East India, the rest of India, South East Asia, Bhutan and Nepal.

I generally prefer to travel Solo which gives me ample opportunity to explore the world better; though I love motorcycle rides together with my fellow riders of my riding club – Rhino Riders.

Earthly Diaries is a place where I will share about my passions and experiences on – the beautiful places I have come across, the pristine beauty I have treasured, the unique location I visited, the thrills of a road trip, the traditional cuisines I have tasted, the adventures I get into, the drinks that I enjoyed, fitness activities that motivates me, the music that inspires me, a book that enthralled me, et al.

It’s a diary of everything Earthly that I Feel, Love, Dream about, and makes me Happy (and even sharing things that didn’t go the way I expected).

Earthly Diaries will try to bring to you heart-warming stories, carefully selected recommendations, experienced advices and precise information. I hope this blog will inspire, guide and motivate you in fulfilling your dreams and living your passion.

It will surely bring out ideas and experiences that will definitely be unforgettable firsts for you. If you have an experience or a bucket list adventure currently not on our list, we’d love to hear about it. After all, we’re always looking for firsts too!

I hope you enjoy reading our stories as much I enjoyed writing it; would love your feedbacks about them.

Take care!
