- 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.
I feel more comfortable going to Iceland now. It’s like you did all the planning. Thank you!
wow! How come I never came across this channel until now? I would like to see this kind of video for all countries ❤

Loved the way you’ve narrated your experience and provided all important information for anyone planning their trips to Iceland ! Iceland has been on my bucket list forever and after watching this video I think it’s not as complicated to plan one as I always thought it would. Thankyou Pooja & Shravan
Thank you so much Jessica. Hope you get to travel there soon and experience it all for yourself! 😄

@@PoojaShravan i am waiting !!
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 !!.
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😌?"
wowjust wow
Thank you so much 😊😊
The winter is from October- April (months when it can snow) Spring is May. Summer is June-August. Autumn is September.
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.
great InSite
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?
😊
I will visit
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 😁😁😁
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!
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 🙂
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😄
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 there. Where did you get ur green puffer jacket from? Thank you for a great video
Hey, nice video.
One question: - are their any adventure motorcycle rentals their to explore the offfoads more?
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.
Hello, great video and advice. Are there some regulations for using the drone? Thank you!
I ended up here starting with Kerala your... Your editing is no less than Johnny Harris.... Shots are top notch...but the million rupees question is where there's soo less reach to your channel....
Haha thank you so much 😀. Well we still don't have an answer to that question yet 😁😁
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 😊😊
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.
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
Great video, however I'm puzzled why you didn't visit Kirkjufell which is quite close to Borgarness. This is the most famous place in Iceland. You also missed out on Seydisfjour which is an amazing town on the east coast.
I wondered the same, I plan on a day and a half for the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, but less time in Reykjavik. It’s really hard to pare it down for a 10-12 day trip!
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
