Muddie Trails Crosses 50,000 Travelers and Opens New Journeys into Tawang and Meghalaya

Muddie Trails Crosses 50,000 Travelers and Opens New Journeys into Tawang and Meghalaya

Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], April 23: Muddie Trails, the Bangalore-based travel company that has spent eight years building routes through India’s least-explored northeast, has served its 50,000th traveler. The company is marking the milestone by launching two new packages: a curated journey through Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh and a combined Meghalaya and Kaziranga Safari itinerary. Both go on sale immediately at muddietrails.com.

Eight Years. 5,000 Trips. One Region Most Companies Still Get Wrong.

Muddie Trails was founded in 2017 with a specific conviction: that Northeast India, one of the world’s most culturally and ecologically rich regions, was being systematically underserved by Indian travel companies. The northeast required local knowledge, permit expertise, and relationships that no aggregator could replicate from a dashboard. So Muddie Trails built its business the slow way, trip by trip, traveler by traveler.

Eight years later, the numbers reflect that approach. More than 50,000 travelers have journeyed with the company across 5,000+ completed trips, spanning Meghalaya’s living root bridge villages, Sikkim’s high-altitude monasteries, the tribal heartland of Nagaland, and the restricted valleys of Arunachal Pradesh, with international extensions into Thailand and Vietnam. The majority of new bookings still arrive through referrals and repeat travelers, not advertising. That retention rate is the company’s most reliable metric.

Two New Packages, Two of the Northeast’s Most Compelling Destinations

The newly launched Tawang package takes travelers into one of India’s most difficult-to-reach corners. Tawang sits at over 10,000 feet in western Arunachal Pradesh, bordered by Bhutan and Tibet, and home to the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery outside Lhasa. The itinerary moves through Sela Pass, Nuranang Falls, and the Tawang War Memorial before reaching the monastery, giving travelers the geographic and historical context to understand why this place stops people cold. Inner line permits, often a source of confusion and trip failure for independent travelers, are handled entirely by Muddie Trails.

The Meghalaya with Kaziranga Safari package pairs two experiences that reward different kinds of attention. Meghalaya’s living root bridges, engineered by the Khasi people over generations by training rubber fig tree roots across rivers, are among the most extraordinary natural structures in the country. Kaziranga National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, holds the world’s highest concentration of Indian one-horned rhinoceroses and offers both Jeep and elephant safaris at close range. Together, the package is a considered argument that Northeast India’s best travel is found in the space between the iconic and the overlooked.

Both itineraries include accommodation, transport, permits, and on-ground coordination. Muddie Trails does not use a one-size model: group sizes are kept deliberately small to maintain the quality of access at each location.

Why Northeast India Needs Specialists, Not Aggregators

Northeast India is having a mainstream moment. Improved air connectivity into Guwahati, Imphal, and Dibrugarh, combined with growing social media visibility, has pushed the region into the consideration set of a much wider traveling public. Bookings to the Northeast have increased sharply across Indian travel platforms over the last two years.

That growth creates a problem. Most operators entering the space now are scaling generic packages across a region that punishes generic planning. Restricted-area permits for Arunachal Pradesh require advance coordination. Roads close seasonally. Local hosts matter. The communities that make these destinations worth visiting are not backdrop, they are the experience. Muddie Trails has spent eight years learning the difference, and that institutional knowledge is precisely what the current moment demands.

“We built this company on the belief that the northeast deserved better than a five-day highlights reel. Every route we run has been walked, driven, and revised until it is actually right. Reaching 50,000 travelers tells us the travelers agreed. The new packages are not a pivot, they are the next logical step in a map we have been drawing since 2017.”

Shirky, Founder and CEO, Muddie Trails

Blu Diamonds London Opens Its First India Flagship at R City Mall, Mumbai

Blu Diamonds London Opens Its First India Flagship at R City Mall, Mumbai

British luxury lab-grown diamond house arrives in India with a statement boutique in Ghatkopar — and a disruptive debut offer of up to 100% off on making charges and 15% off on diamond prices

Mumbai, 23 April 2026 — Blu Diamonds London, the British luxury lab-grown diamond jewellery house, today announced the grand opening of its first India flagship store at R City Mall, Ghatkopar West — marking the brand’s highly anticipated entry into one of the world’s fastest-growing fine jewellery markets.

Located on the Ground Floor, North Wing of R City Mall — directly opposite Mia by Tanishq — the boutique brings Blu Diamonds London’s signature aesthetic to Mumbai: arched niches, a cream-and-gold palette, a chandelier-lit interior, and monogrammed display cases showcasing IGI-certified diamonds (1.0–1.5ct solitaires) set in SGL-certified jewellery in VVS1 clarity, E-F-G colour, set in 14kt gold.

The launch was marked by an intimate influencer and press preview, with Mumbai’s fashion, beauty and lifestyle creators getting a first look at the Forevermore, Radiencia and signature solitaire collections — and trying on pieces in a boutique setting that the founders describe as “a little corner of Bond Street in Ghatkopar.”

A new category, priced for a new India

Blu Diamonds London is built on a simple proposition: real diamonds, ethically grown, at a fraction of mined prices. Every stone is IGI-certified and visually, chemically and optically identical to a mined diamond — but significantly more accessible, and entirely free of the ethical baggage of traditional mining.

To mark the Mumbai launch, the brand is running its most disruptive offer yet: up to 100% off on making charges, plus 15% off on diamond prices.

Quotes

Bhavin Rupani, CEO & Co-Founder, Blu Diamonds London:

  • “What has changed in this generation is the customer — she is informed, she is global, and she refuses to pay a premium for legacy alone. Blu Diamonds London is our answer to her.

Lab-grown is not the future of diamonds; it is the present. And R City is only the beginning.”

Nirav Gosalia, CMO & Co-Founder, Blu Diamonds London:

  • “We didn’t want to open ‘another jewellery shop.’ We wanted Mumbai’s first true lab-grown luxury destination — a space that feels like Bond Street, priced for a modern Indian Walk into our R City flagship and you’ll see a 1.5ct solitaire at a price that, frankly, most people don’t believe until they hold the certificate. That disbelief is the entire business.”

Why R City, why now

Mumbai’s eastern suburbs have emerged as one of the city’s most affluent and underserved luxury catchments. R City Mall — one of India’s highest-footfall retail destinations — was a deliberate choice: premium adjacency, daily footfall, and a shopper who is increasingly brand-aware but price-rational. The Blu Diamonds London store sits directly opposite Mia by Tanishq, a positioning the founders describe as “the most honest comparison we could ask for.”

About Blu Diamonds London

Blu Diamonds London is a British luxury lab-grown diamond jewellery brand offering IGI-certified solitaires, bridal jewellery and everyday fine pieces, crafted in 14kt gold. Every Blu Diamonds piece is ethically grown, conflict-free, and backed by full certification. The brand is led by Bhavin Rupani (CEO) and Nirav Gosalia (CMO).

Dehradun Helicopter Operator Warns Pilgrims About Rising Chardham Booking Scams – Issues Free Safety Guide as 2026 Season Opens

Dehradun Helicopter Operator Warns Pilgrims About Rising Chardham Booking Scams – Issues Free Safety Guide as 2026 Season Opens

Dehradun (Uttarakhand) [India], April 22: With the 2026 Chardham Yatra season opening in early May and millions of pilgrims across India and abroad beginning to book helicopter packages, Udan Aviation — Dehradun’s ISO-certified Chardham helicopter operator — has issued a formal public warning about the rising number of fraudulent helicopter booking websites and fake travel agents targeting pilgrims ahead of this year’s season.

The warning comes weeks after the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, operating under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, issued an official government alert about online booking frauds specifically targeting Char Dham pilgrims — including fake websites, deceptive social media pages, and paid search engine advertisements designed to steal pilgrim payments.

Uttarakhand’s Special Task Force has previously busted organised gangs running fake Chardham helicopter booking networks, exposing and blocking over 76 + fraudulent websites in coordinated police operations. Victims have been reported from across India — including Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat — as well as from NRI families booking from the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and the UAE.

The Fraud That Shatters a Lifetime of Faith

Rashmi Negi, Founder and Managing Director of Udan Aviation, described the human cost of the scam in terms that go beyond financial loss.

“I have personally spoken with pilgrims who arrived at Helipad at 5:30 in the morning — some of them in their seventies, some having flown in from abroad — and discovered that their booking did not exist. The agent’s number was switched off. The website was gone. The money was gone. For a 74-year-old devotee who has waited a lifetime for this journey, that moment is devastating in a way that no compensation can undo,” said Negi.

“We are issuing this warning not as a marketing exercise but because it is the right thing to do. Pilgrims deserve to complete this Yatra safely — and that starts with booking safely.”

Udan Aviation has published a free, comprehensive Chardham Helicopter Scam Awareness Guide on its website at www.udanaviation.in, covering the 15 warning signs of a fake operator, 7 verification steps every pilgrim should complete before paying, and a complete safety checklist. The guide is available free of charge to all pilgrims regardless of which operator they choose to book with.

How the Scam Operates — The Pattern Every Pilgrim Must Know

According to Negi, the fraud follows a consistent and recognisable pattern. Fraudsters register website domains that differ by a single character from legitimate operator sites — for example heliyatra-irctc.co.in mimicking the official IRCTC portal at heliyatra.irctc.co.in. They run Google Ads and Facebook Ads targeting high-demand searches such as “Chardham helicopter booking 2026” and “Kedarnath helicopter ticket”, ensuring their fraudulent sites appear prominently in search results.

When pilgrims contact these sites, they are called back within minutes by trained operators who speak convincingly about Chardham operations or Kedarnath boarding procedure, create artificial urgency around seat availability, and request payment via personal UPI accounts or informal bank transfers. Fake booking confirmations — complete with copied logos and realistic reference numbers — are then issued. The fraud is discovered only when pilgrims arrive at the helipad on departure day.

“The most dangerous aspect of this scam is how professional it looks,” said Negi. “The websites are well designed. The voices on the phone know the right terminology. The confirmation documents are indistinguishable from genuine ones. The only protection is verification — and most pilgrims simply do not know what to verify.”

The 5 Things Every Pilgrim Must Verify Before Paying

Negi outlined five specific verification steps that every pilgrim or family booking a Chardham helicopter package should complete before making any payment:

1. Verify the exact domain name character by character. Fraudulent sites use domains with one or two character differences from legitimate operators. Check the URL carefully — and verify domain registration age at who.is. A domain registered in 2025 or 2026 cannot represent an operator with multiple seasons of experience.

2. Never pay to a personal UPI or individual bank account. A registered business collects payment to a company account where the company name appears on the bank statement. Any request to pay to an individual’s personal UPI, Google Pay, or PhonePe account is a fraud signal regardless of how legitimate the operator appears.

3. Ask for the GSTIN and verify it. Every registered business operator charging at these price points is legally required to be GST registered. Verify any GSTIN provided at services.gst.gov.in. If it does not return a valid result matching the operator’s name — do not proceed.

4. Ask for a video call or office visit. A legitimate Dehradun-based operator has a physical office and will agree to a video call or in-person visit before booking. A remote fraudster cannot offer this.

5. For Kedarnath shuttle tickets — book only at heliyatra.irctc.co.in. The government Kedarnath helicopter shuttle service is booked exclusively through IRCTC’s official portal. No private agent is authorised to sell these tickets. Anyone offering them through any other channel is operating a scam.

Pilgrims who have been defrauded should report immediately to the National Cybercrime Helpline at 1930, file a complaint at cybercrime.gov.in, and contact their bank immediately to attempt a transaction reversal.

About the 2026 Chardham Season

The 2026 Chardham Yatra season opens in early May, with all four Dhams — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath, and Badrinath — expected to receive millions of pilgrims between May and October. Helicopter packages from Dehradun represent a rapidly growing segment of the pilgrimage, driven primarily by elderly devotees and NRI families for whom the traditional 10 to 12-day road journey is not physically possible.

Udan Aviation is accepting bookings for the 2026 season for its complete Chardham yatra by helicopter package (6 days, 5 nights, all 4 Dhams, ₹2,30,000 per person all-inclusive) Do Dham yatra by helicopter at ₹ 1,40,000 Per person and single-Dham packages beginning at ₹90,000 per person. The company advises early booking — particularly for May and September departures, which typically fill 60 to 90 days in advance.

About Udan Aviation

Udan Aviation is an ISO-certified Chardham Yatra by helicopter operator headquartered at Sahastradhara Helipad, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Founded by Rashmi Negi — who holds an MBA in Tourism Management and brings 16 years of professional experience in India’s travel, tourism, and aviation industry — the company was established to make India’s most sacred pilgrimage circuit accessible to elderly devotees, mobility-challenged pilgrims, and NRI families for whom the traditional road journey is not a realistic option.

Udan Aviation has safely served 3,000+ pilgrims across every season of operations with a zero safety-incident record. The company holds ISO quality management certification — a standard rare among private pilgrimage helicopter operators in India — and offers complete Chardham, Do Dham, Kedarnath, and Badrinath helicopter packages, along with private helicopter and jet charter services across India.

The company’s free Chardham Helicopter Scam Awareness Guide is available at www.udanaviation.in.

Marking the 25th Anniversary of Bickram Ghosh’s fusion album and the band, a new album ‘Rhythmscape 2.0’ is Released featuring exciting music videos

Marking the 25th Anniversary of Bickram Ghosh’s fusion album and the band, a new album ‘Rhythmscape 2.0’ is Released featuring exciting music videos

New Delhi [India], April 22: Eternal Sounds and the Calcutta Heritage Collective (CHC) presented Bickram Ghosh’s fusion music album, Rhythmscape 2.0, at the Far Pavilions of the Tolly Club recently. This occasion marks the completion of twenty-five years for Bicikram Ghosh’s fusion album and the band, Rhythmscape. Rhythmscape 2.0, featuring seven brand-new tracks, was officially unveiled at the event. The album is released on Eternal Sounds the kolkata based music label. Representing Eternal Sounds partners as Utsav Parekh, Gaurang Jalan, Mayank Jalan and Bickram Ghosh were present.

After twenty-five years, Bickram Ghosh returns to redefine the very sound he pioneered through Rhythmscape.

In 2001, the world witnessed the birth of a magical new sound–accompanied by an equally mesmerizing live performance experience. Bickram Ghosh launched his flagship project, Rhythmscape, twenty-five years ago–a venture that would subsequently go on to make history. Despite the various pressures of the industry, Bickram chose not to leave Bengal; instead, remaining rooted in Kolkata, he built his internationally acclaimed band, Rhythmscape.

Rhythmscape has performed on premier stages across the globe and has pioneered an experimental musical genre that has inspired generations to embrace the path of fusion music. Rhythmscape centers on rhythmic improvisation, melodic emotion, and the art of storytelling–seamlessly blending Indian classical percussion with modern arrangements, global musical influences, and contemporary production techniques.

Bickam Ghosh returns with Rhythmscape 2.0–serving as a contemporary successor to his groundbreaking original work. While retaining the core spirit of the original Rhythmscape, this new album reflects the journey of his artistic life over the past two decades, his evolution as a performer, and his extensive experience performing on the global stage. Rhythmscape 2.0 illustrates how rhythm continuously evolves, transcending the boundaries of generation and genre. At the heart of Rhythmscape 2.0 lies the concept that rhythm is a universal language–capable of connecting people across the divides of culture, emotion, and audience demographics.

Over a career spanning more than three decades, Bickram Ghosh has collaborated with numerous Grammy-winning artists, performed on iconic stages across six continents, composed music for films, and released albums that defy easy categorization within a single genre. He is one of the few Indian classical percussionists to have established a global presence while remaining based in Kolkata. As a composer, Bickram has worked across Bollywood, World Music, and Classical Crossover formats. As a teacher and mentor, he has also profoundly influenced a new generation of percussion artists. His role as a Cause Ambassador for Calcutta Heritage Collective further underscores his unwavering commitment to preserving and reimagining Bengal’s rich cultural heritage.

During the album launch event, a captivating conversation between Bickram Ghosh and cultural activist Nandita Palchoudhuri–exploring the journey of his fusion music–drew significant attention.

Bickram Ghosh remarked, “The journey of Rhythmscape has seen many new additions–such as the inclusion of various new instruments in this album, and the incorporation of Hip-Hop in the music videos. Although we are currently living in the era of singles, Rhythmscape represents a confluence of diverse emotions; therefore, it was simply impossible to capture that essence within a single track. My hope is that Rhythmscape continues to reach even greater heights and spreads even further.”

As organizations accelerate digital transformation, managing sensitive data has become increasingly complex. DPDPA introduces stricter mandates around data visibility, governance, and breach readiness; areas where many enterprises are still evolving.

Mitish Chitnavis, Chief Technology Officer, iValue Group, said, “Organizations today are dealing with fragmented data environments across cloud and on premises systems. This partnership enables a unified view of sensitive data and access risks, helping security teams make informed decisions and respond faster to potential exposures.”

He further added, “Automating data classification and access controls is essential for scaling compliance efforts. With Varonis, enterprises can operationalize data security policies and continuously monitor for deviations, which is critical in the context of evolving regulatory frameworks.”

Through this partnership, iValue will bring Varonis’ Data Security Platform to enterprises across India to help identify and classify sensitive data across hybrid and multi cloud environments, enforce access governance, monitor for anomalous activity, and improve audit readiness and compliance reporting.

Umashankar Krishnamoorthy, Vice President, Business Management, iValue Group, said, “DPDPA signals a clear transition toward data centric security. Enterprises are looking to move beyond reactive compliance and adopt continuous data governance models. By combining our advisory and managed services with Varonis’ platform, we are enabling a more consistent and measurable approach to data protection, structured visibility, and governance capabilities in line with DPDPA requirements.”

Santosh Shriyan, Director Alliances – India and South Asia, Varonis Systems, added:

“Our collaboration with iValue brings together deep local expertise and a proven data security platform to help organizations understand where their sensitive data resides and how it is being used. This is fundamental to meeting the expectations set by India’s data protection regulations. Together, we help organizations understand and protect sensitive data while aligning with India’s evolving data protection framework.”

The partnership will focus on sectors including banking and financial services, healthcare, IT and IT enabled services, manufacturing, and government. It will be supported through advisory programs, CXO engagements, and managed compliance services, helping organizations transition from periodic compliance exercises to continuous data governance practices.
