From Boardrooms to Basecamps: How Four Professionals Built TrekYaari

TrekYaari began on a Kedarkantha trek from Sankri village in Uttarakhand. Four professionals from very different careers asked why it was so hard to find a trekking company that was safe, honest and easy to trust, and decided to build one themselves.
The founders
  • Deepak: 15+ years in investment banking and private equity, growing businesses globally.
  • Himanshu: 15+ years in investment banking and private equity; leads strategy and financial discipline.
  • Amit: an engineer who brings operational excellence and problem-solving to every trek and trip.
  • Shikha: a former officer in the Women & Child Development Department, Delhi; designs safe, inclusive treks for beginners and women.

What the Story Covers

  • A tech-first, safety-focused and community-led way of running treks, in an industry that is still fragmented.
  • 20,000+ travellers guided so far, and a large Instagram community of adventure lovers.
  • Beginner-friendly Himalayan treks, high-altitude expeditions, adventure activities and holiday packages.
  • Plans for more international trips, women-only and first-time traveller packages, and smarter trip recommendations.
