Best Spots to Take Instagram-Worthy Photos in Dubai

I’m Devesh Chauhan, a travel writer, explorer, and the founder of MainAwara. For me, travelling is not just about visiting a destination - it is about experiencing the journey, discovering places beyond the usual tourist trail, meeting people, understanding local culture, and collecting stories along the way. Based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, I combine my love for travel with my passion for long-distance motorcycle journeys. Over the years, I have explored destinations across India by road, on motorcycle, and through independent trips. These journeys have taken me from the beaches and temples of Odisha and Gujarat to the deserts and landscapes of Kutch, the historic cities of Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, the mountains of Himachal Pradesh, and the spiritual destinations of Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. One of my memorable journeys was a solo motorcycle ride from Ahmedabad to Jagannath Puri, Odisha, covering a long-distance route across multiple states. I have also ridden through several memorable circuits, including Ahmedabad–Bhavnagar–Diu–Somnath–Dwarka–Jamnagar–Rajkot–Ahmedabad, and the Kutch circuit covering Dholavira, Nara Narayan Sarovar, Koteshwar, Bhuj and Ahmedabad. My road journeys have also taken me from Ahmedabad to Agra and Mathura, travelling through Udaipur, Chittorgarh, Kishangarh, Jaipur, Dausa and Bharatpur. Closer to home, I have explored destinations such as Polo Forest, Idar and Saputara. Beyond Gujarat and Rajasthan, I have explored the Spiti Valley circuit in Himachal Pradesh, destinations across Maharashtra including Nashik and Sambhaji Nagar, and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. My travels in North and Central India include places such as Kashi Vishwanath in Uttar Pradesh, Ujjain, Omkareshwar, Gwalior and Indore, along with several nearby destinations.
