About Devendra Singh
Devendra Singh writes Namaste India Trip’s travel guides to North India. He has worked in India’s travel industry for more than fifteen years, and most of that time has been spent on the routes that carry pilgrims and holidaymakers into the Himalaya.
His core subject is the Char Dham Yatra. Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri and Yamunotri open for roughly six months a year, and the details change every season: opening and closing dates, registration rules, helicopter slots, pony and palki arrangements, and which stretches of the Rishikesh–Badrinath highway are slow after rain. His guides track these changes so that a family can plan the yatra around fixed dates instead of guesswork.
Mountain travel rarely goes by the map. A distance that looks like four hours on screen can take a full day on a hill road, and a landslide season in July and August affects every itinerary in Uttarakhand and Himachal. Devendra’s writing builds those margins into the plan: buffer days, night halts at the right towns, and the months when a route is best avoided.
Beyond Uttarakhand, he covers Himachal Pradesh, from Shimla and Manali to Spiti and Dharamshala; Kashmir, including Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and the Amarnath and Vaishno Devi yatras; and Ladakh, where acclimatisation, permits and the opening of the Manali and Srinagar highways decide when a trip can start.
He also writes the guides to the plains routes that many travellers combine with the hills: Delhi, Agra, Mathura and Vrindavan, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Prayagraj and Amritsar.
Each guide is written from the questions that reach Namaste India Trip’s travel desk, and is revised when rules, timings or road conditions change. That link between day-to-day trip planning and the published guides is what readers rely on when they use his work to decide dates, duration and budget.
