A moment of quiet contemplation as the sun goes down in the Arabian Sea. Therapy, that travel is!

Gone are the days of visiting crowded tourist hotspots, and calling it a day. You are a traveller of today. Not easily satisfied, and for good reason. Catering to this tribe, Explore Routes was conceived. A community of like minded travellers exploring off the beaten track in India.

Travel is therapeutic.

It is by nature, experiential. And hopping from point A to point B, to then compete with hundreds of others for the best view (or photo location) can be a bit of a killjoy

Today we give you a glimpse of travel, the Explore Routes way.

Well, it really is all in the name itself. We bring you curated experiences to enjoy while travelling, which are off the beaten track in India. Exquisite and hand-picked, this is unconventional travel, but with all your creature comforts. Or as I like to say “Raw, yet in the lap of luxury.”

I am talking about exploring off the beaten track in India. In short, exploring the routes you might not have even imagined existed, or always wondered about.

 

Hike up to hidden gems, rediscover your favourite hotspots, or check out our local recommendations. This is immersive travel, filled with real experiences, and off the beaten tracks in India.

From architectural journeys to mindfulness getaways into the wild. After all, every trip is a story. And with equally enthusiastic storytellers, you can rest assured that some extraordinary moments are waiting to be lived. Here’s what is really special about our signature brand of travel.

Immersive experiences 

An amalgamation of our uncanny tourism industry knowledge, coupled with the passion of our communities’ weekend warriors. Our roster of carefully curated experiential activities are vetted by our expert storytellers and crafted into bespoke itineraries, a perfect fit for everyone.

Community Centric Approach 

We proudly claim, “We won’t just send you off, but take you there” And we mean it. Not  the ones to send you on a wild goose chase, one of our storytellers will accompany you on your tour. They will make you feel right at home and look after you on behalf of the community.

Master storytellers

The storytellers we work with, are all masters of their craft. Each of them with a tale to tell, and to help shape your tale as well. From renowned chefs to sculptors, esteemed collectors and authors. Learn from the best in planned interaction sessions.

Boutique Properties 

Our philosophy is also reflected in our selection of accommodation in all our offerings. Owner run properties which exude the same passion and hospitality that defines us, something which large corporates can never match.

All of this, and more. Curated, just for you!

Watch this space for more, as we bring you unexplored stories from all corners of the sub-continent. I hope you’re ready to be filled to the brim with enough travel inspiration to satisfy your inner wanderer. It’s time that we rediscover our country, all over again.
#dekhoapnadesh with Explore Routes. So come, Explore Routes with us.
