There’s a certain magic about walking in open countryside…you start noticing things that you normally wouldn’t. It starts usually with the pure quality of the air you are breathing. Then an unknown fragrance glides past your nostrils and you wonder what that is. Could it be a distant grove of sandalwood trees, or…is that hog plum… which you tasted years before, during your vacations in school.
Feet, your sixth sense organ
Eyes that are weary of the city’s concrete open wider now, on seeing the many different shades of green. You keep looking at a few interesting shades of green in the distance and realize that even a Photoshop palette doesn’t have those. When you try naming a shade it becomes even more intriguing, “That’s parrot green,” noo “it’s emerald,” wait…“okay it’s lime green.” And that’s final.
Mankind comes truly alive when with Nature, let’s just say that’s how God intended it to be. And all it takes to transport you to truly magical experiences, is your own pair of feet.
The TransTrails way - We promise you life changing treks
Our trekking tours are designed with a deep understanding of why people love to trek.
Your walking is made continuously rewarding, the landscape will change from merely pleasant to really beautiful, and at times to “I see it, but I don’t believe it.”
Your breathing will change often, from a relaxed, rhythmic pace to a deeper, quicker one. And as you concentrate on getting up the steep incline in the path, you can see the top of the hill against the sky and your imagination will run wild with what could be on the other side. “Could there be a waterfall? Or a deep valley with a herd of deer grazing at the bottom? Maybe even ancient temple ruins covered by jungle.” And when you get there, it’s never ever disappointing.
TransTrails designs every trek to be safe and fun, but with some challenges built into it. This stretches your strength and determination, helping you discover certain qualities within you that you didn’t know you have. And when the trek is done, you may not be the same person who started out. You are bound to have a deeper appreciation of Nature, of yourself and of other people around you. That’s really the magic of Nature and how people relate to her.
A lot of thinking goes into the trekking
At TransTrails, we are a team who turned our passions into our careers, and we thoroughly enjoy sharing this knowledge and experience, so more individuals can enjoy the joys of trekking. There is a method to creating thoroughly enjoyable treks for different age groups, backgrounds and levels of physical fitness.
The right recipe: We believe treks should be a healthy combination of pre-conceived plans and spur-of-the-moment opportunities. Nature is not a static, unchanging entity and she offers moments of sheer beauty which could be savoured given the necessary knowledge.
For instance, unexpected, unseasonal rainfall can turn a trickle of water back into a roaring waterfall. Now would you like to make a slight diversion from the route to enjoy this spectacle?
Safety: This is a top priority. Our guides are trained for crisis scenarios. We believe their supervision goes a long way in reducing risks that come with trekking - be it the wild Western Ghats or the cold altitudes of the Himalayas.
Choices: Apart from the familiar circuits, we offer exotic trails all over India that have rarely been used before.
Fun filled: We believe trekking should be fun and not downright dangerous. We go a long way to make your trekking pleasing, it is supported by a set of services which are among the best in the industry.
Custom design: While we have a set of pre-designed trekking routes and packages, we love to design treks around the needs of bird watchers, lovers of water bodies, or those who love history.
It’s the small details that deliver the big smiles
We aim at providing adventure in safety, and in harmony with Nature.

India is a whole sub-continent that was turned into a nation by a quirk of history. Through historical and cultural ties, it once included Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. This sprawling landscape was full of kingdoms that alternately practised war and peace with each other.
