1. Safety
2. Responsible Travel
3. Cultural immersion
4. Focus on local businesses"

"Our aim is to make the local economy in India work while having a razor sharp focus in redefining the way women travel in India."

"One of our success stories has been to work with organisations like YUWA in Jharkhand, where we undertook safety workshops for women football coaches and subsequently took them on a tour to Sikkim."

"India's Northeast remains a great traction for foreign inbound tourists."
