TBS: What's been your
toughest adventure till date?
PK: I participated in Raid in the
Himalaya 12 years ago. It's a
mad rally up in the mountains. I
was navigating a car and it was
being shot for Channel V. The
show never made it on air due to
some sponsor issue, but it's the
biggest high I've had on an
adventure experience and I had
to overcome many fears… that
was the toughest part.
TBS: What’s the best piece of
travel advice you would give
someone?
PK: The more open you are while
you travel the richer your
experience shall be.
TBS: One thing you hate and like about holidays?
PK: I hate airports. With all the security these days, one feels so trapped, when your travel is all about
freedom. And there are many, many things I like and love.
TBS: Any places that you think are overrated or underrated?
PK: Madhya Pradesh is highly underrated. I think following the Narmada has been one of the best trips
I've done, and it's so beautiful. While, Thailand is overrated!
TBS: One food or stay experience that has been memorable, good or bad?
PK: A village home I rented in Anigundi turned out to be good... no great in fact! It's a village across
the river from Hampi. It was lovely to stay in the house, very cozy and had all the amenities. There was
also another place called Hoova cafe which served the most delicious dosas for breakfast.
TBS: Places to visit before you die - according to Purab Kohli?
PK: There are way too many. But Istanbul, Rome, Hampi, Cherapunjee, Positano, Pangong Tso, Nubra
valley are some places that come to my mind.
TBS: Any travel shows/movies people will get to see you in 2015?
PK: Tere Ane Se is a love story that should release in the summer. And there might be a small travel
stint too, though that's not finalised yet.
thank you purab!
That sounds great Purab. TBS wishes you Good Luck for a travel-filled and successful
2015
