What’s been happening:

After graduating from Penn State, I moved to New York and started Silk Route Escapes, a hugely popular luxury travel consultancy which specializes in departures to India. Here is a little about the company: Silk Route Escapes is a New York based travel group deeply rooted in India. We specialize in expertly orchestrated, fully escorted departures to India. Our partner resorts, many of them rated the world's best, and our staff of over 70 local Indian specialists scout India every year to bring you the best of people, places and experiences to give you access to an India that only a privileged few chance upon. Your enchanting voyage will be crafted by Maneesha Panicker, the founder of Silk Route Escapes. A native of this scintillating place and a current New Yorker, she is a member of a prominent Indian family with strong political clout, unrivaled access, special connections and destination savvy. Her passion for travel and her love for India have inspired her to offer the world a peek into an India as she knows it. Contact: 516-647-6895, maneesha@silkrouteescapes.com
