About Us

Home About Us

At Outdoers, we believe the most rewarding journeys take you beyond the obvious.

We are a boutique travel company built by passionate travellers, nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. We curate distinctive, immersive journeys to lesser-explored parts of India and the wider region, combining beautiful landscapes, meaningful encounters, local culture and the simple pleasure of travelling at a more thoughtful pace.

Our journeys range from walking holidays and high-altitude treks to family adventures, school programmes and bespoke experiences. We explore the Himalayas, Northeast India and other fascinating corners of the country, as well as Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka.

We are drawn to places that have retained their character, whether it is a remote Himalayan village, a forest trail, a little-known cultural landscape or a community where traditional ways of life are still part of everyday living. We work closely with local hosts and partners who know these places intimately, allowing our guests to experience them in a way that goes beyond the standard tourist itinerary.

Our trips are designed for travellers who value experience over checklists, discovery over crowds and quality over quantity. They are suitable for families, couples, senior travellers, schools and anyone with a sense of curiosity and a reasonable level of fitness. Depending on the journey, we combine walking and outdoor experiences with comfortable, characterful accommodation, good food and dependable support.

We take care of the details so that you can focus on the experience

Travel deeper. Discover more. Experience places differently!

Sustainability Efforts

Sustainability is at the core of everything we do and we make an earnest effort to keep the ecological footprint of our trips to the minimum. These responsible tourism practices help us in achieving our sustainability goals:

  • On our trips, we avoid taking packaged food that have excessive packaging.
  • We avoid bottled water and disposables.
  • We promote local businesses. For example we prefer homestays over bigger hotels and hotel chains.
  • We employ local people to help us in local arrangements.
  • We have a zero-littering policy. In fact we try to leave our campsites and trails cleaner than they were before.
  • We try to use locally available ingredients while cooking.
  • We also work with village communities in order to raise awareness on waste management and organic farming.
