Shantanu Moitra, music director

nI am not only passionate about music but travelling to interesting places as well. If I have less work, I like nothing better than to go trekking. My favourite holiday then would be at the Mount Everest Base Camp in Nepal where I went two years ago. It was a sort of a self-discovery trip and I had one of my friends with me for company. The Base Camp is situated at an altitude of 18,875 feet and was terribly cold. We stocked up on food and all sorts of mountaineering equipment. The total journey lasted 22 days and we had many Bengali trekkers from Calcutta joining us too.

My other favourite destination is Reunion Island, a volcanic island close to Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. I went there with my family three years ago and came back relaxed and refreshed.
