A travel-writing project from Mumbai.

Bombay To Bali is a small writing project. We publish long, honest pieces about places we've actually been — Mumbai's old neighbourhoods, Sri Lankan train rides, Kerala in the monsoon, the road from Manali to Kaza. The thing we don't do is press junkets, generic listicles, or "10 places to visit before you die."

The point is to be useful. If you're booking a real trip, you don't need another piece that lists Eiffel Tower as #4. You need to know that the small homestay in Wayanad with the cracked verandah will feed you fresh fish for ₹300 and the WhatsApp number for the auto guy who'll take you to the right waterfall. That's the kind of thing we try to get right.

We started writing in 2024 from a kitchen table in Andheri. As of 2026 the masthead is two writers, an editor, and a small group of people who live in the places we cover and tell us what's bullshit and what's real. Pitches welcome at travel@cfai.in — we pay, we edit hard, and we don't accept brand-paid coverage.

We're a sister project of Creativefuel, a Mumbai-based creator agency. The travel writing is its own thing — separate editorial line, no influencer-marketing crossover.
