Once a no-go area that separated a nation and its people for over two decades, Vietnam’s Demilitarized Zone is a fascinating footnote in history often overlooked by travellers.

As a travel photographer, Christopher Atkinson, aka Ascending Aperture, looks at each new city, jungle, or village with a completely different perspective to most travellers. India is one of those countries that not everyone thinks they can visit, but as Christopher’s photographs show, it’s worth putting aside any apprehensions to explore this true cultural utopia.

I have been to India twice and both times I have had two very different experiences, coming away with new and different memories, sights and stories to tell each time. Many people say India is a challenging place to travel, which it can be at times, but it is this organised chaos and circus-like conduct of daily functionality which makes it such an intriguing place to visit. This is a country of ingenuity, history, a rich culture and a cuisine which changes from place to place. Together these factors work as a team which enable travellers to experience something new every day in India, no matter how many times they have been.

Jai Hind!
