Mini bio
How it started.
Ankita began travelling in 2015 after leaving her job. She saved for a month in Vietnam, booked only her first two hostel nights in Hanoi and worked out the rest along the way. In her Social Nation interview, she described growing up in a small town in Odisha and gradually winning her family’s support.
Building Monkey Inc.
In her Amrutam interview, she recalled companies noticing her travel photographs on Facebook. Their interest prompted her to start a blog, turning the journeys into a creative career. She combined travel with filmmaking and later co-founded Caravan Chronicles with Rohith Subramaniam.
Taking home on the road.
Caravan Chronicles took her storytelling onto the road in a home on wheels. In 2018 she travelled with Rohith and William Meara in a caravan named Kiro. For the 2019 Sikkim season, she teamed up with Sharanya Iyer in Luna, focusing on slow travel, homestays and connections with local people.
Beyond the familiar route.
Her recent work includes Siberian winter travel and a solo journey across Afghanistan. In a June 2026 NDTV interview, she reflected on both the hospitality she encountered and the restrictions facing women. Those conversations sit alongside her films about everyday ingenuity, regional festivals and traditional art.
