Handpicked stays
Places worth the journey on their own.
Lakeside hotels, orchard homestays, camping in the woods and farm stays — every one run by people we know.
Hriday Bhoomi, Jim Corbett
Private cottages and a five-bedroom villa in Dhela, minutes from the Corbett safari gates — with a pool, a farm and the jungle all around.
Forest edge, Jim Corbett Explore
Naini Retreat, Nainital
A heritage hotel in a quiet, wooded corner of Nainital — close enough to walk to the lake, far enough to hear the forest.
Wooded slopes above the lake Explore
Where to go
From the Kumaon Himalaya to the Rajasthan desert.
The Himalaya, the desert, the backwaters and the islands — a small number of places we know deeply rather than thinly across the whole country.

Our story
Travel should feel like more than moving from one place to another.
Pravaah creates journeys around places, people, culture and experiences — giving you the freedom to explore while we take care of the details.
We are a small studio of travellers, drivers, cooks, guides and hosts who have spent years on these roads. We plan the kind of trip we would want for ourselves: unhurried mornings, a route that makes sense, and people worth meeting at the other end.
Expeditions & experiences
Base camps, border valleys and the source of the Ganga.
Fully supported treks, 4x4 journeys and river expeditions — planned and led by people who know the ground.
Darma valley, Pithoragarh district
Panchachuli Base Camp Trek
Five days from Haldwani into the Darma valley — village homestays in Dantu and a day on foot to Panchachuli Base Camp and Zero Point.

Gangotri to Haridwar
Flow with the Ganga
A multi-day journey following the Ganga from its source near Gangotri, through the Himalayan confluences, down to Rishikesh and Haridwar.
9 – 10 days ex Dehradun Explore
Shivpuri to Rishikesh, Ganga
Rishikesh White Water Rafting
A guided white water run down the Ganga from Shivpuri to Rishikesh — named rapids, a cliff-jump stop and a riverside camp if you want to stay the night.
Half day, or 2 days with a riverside camp Explore
Why Pravaah
A small studio, built around the parts of travel that matter.
No queues, no generic packages — just people who know these roads and plan like it matters.
Curated Experiences
Trips designed around meaningful experiences rather than generic itineraries — the walk, the meal and the morning that make a place stay with you.
Local Expertise
Discover places through people who know them best. Every journey is built with guides and hosts who actually live there.
Flexible Journeys
Travel plans that adapt to you. Shift a day, add a detour, slow the pace down — the itinerary belongs to you, not to us.
Human Support
Real people available when you need help. One number, one team, from the first question to the last mile home.

- 02
Customize

- 03
Travel
Pack your bags. Transfers, stays, guides and permits are handled, and our team stays reachable through the trip.

In their words
What travellers tell us afterwards.
“They pushed our Munsiyari leg back a day so we could stay longer in Hartola, and nobody made it feel like a favour. The orchard homestay was the part we still talk about.”
“We were nervous about travelling with a two-year-old. Short drives, a ground-floor room in Gulmarg and a driver who was endlessly patient — it was all handled before we thought to ask.”
“Nine days, two homestays and one closed pass they rerouted around overnight. Honest about what was possible, which is rarer than it should be.”
“The block-printing afternoon in Bagru was not something I would have found on my own. We reached Amber at opening and had the first courtyard entirely to ourselves.”
