Atlas & Boots’ top 10 posts of 2024
This year, we celebrated 10 years of Atlas & Boots. When we first started the blog in 2014, it was mainly a way to stay employable so that when we returned to London after our big trip, it wouldn’t be impossible to find new jobs. We didn’t know then that our little blog would grow to a quarter of a million readers per month. Sadly, we lost about half of them when the pandemic hit and never quite recovered them, but we’re still ticking along thanks to our loyal audience.

10 countries that can save Earth’s most-threatened species | Atlas & Boots
As a child, I lived with cockroaches in my family home. Our entire street had an infestation and it was months before the council got rid of them. I have seven siblings and not all of us fit on the sofa, so some of us would watch TV from the floor and I remember things scuttling by right next to my hand, making me leap up and scream. Sometimes, one would scurry across my pillow right before bedtime. This, quite understandably, gave me a mortal fear of bugs.

Jaipur Cycle Tour: testing my mettle in the frantic Pink City | Atlas & Boots
The legend of Jaipur is that it’s India’s first planned city. Historians will tell you that the city’s founder – scholarly prince Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II – was passionate about astronomy, mathematics and science, that he studied European cities and collected maps from all over the world. They will tell you that he and esteemed architect Vidyadhar Bhattacharya planned every detail of the city, from the orientation of the gates to the script above each building – all based on Vastu Shastra, an ancient Hindu architectural system that incorporates nature, sunlight and symmetry. That is the legend of Jaipur. And then there’s the reality. The post Jaipur Cycle Tour: testing my mettle in the frantic Pink City appeared first on Atlas & Boots.
Essential India: the highs and lows of our two-week tour | Atlas & Boots
India is not a holiday; it’s an experience," says our guide in what sounds like a promise but might also be a warning. India, she’s trying to say, is unpredictable – not easily tamed and packaged for the average tourist. I can sense the nervousness in our motley crew of 14 who have gathered in a Delhi hotel this mild December evening. Most of us are well-travelled, but are wary of India’s challenges – the noise, the traffic, the pollution – and have opted for a guided trip with small-group specialists G Adventures.
