We Started Chal Kabira with an aim to bring the culture of travel among students in an affordable manner with a gamut of meticulously planned trips, trails, and activities that will take them to amazing natural getaways.
We are a team of young students who graduated from top B-schools in India who collectively decided to follow their passion for adventure travel. We are a group of professionals from different backgrounds but one core passion for adventure and aim to make seemingly impossible treks possible.
We are one of the fastest-growing startups in the space of trekking and travel experience. We call ourselves travel enablers of the students.
Chal Kabira is a result of hours of effort put in by a passionate team with a purpose to channelize the spirit from leisure to bliss. We want to explore this amazing planet we live in by discovering cities, countries, cultural heritage, environments, mountain ranges, deserts, rivers, coasts and jungles. A desire to visit new places and come home with a real sense of what they're all about.
We are a company for budgetary trips with a prime focus on promoting the spirit of adventure in today's youth who love to try something new and take up some new challenge every day.
In past 5 years , we have already taken around 3000+ students, graduates and alumni of IIM A, B, I, U, S, K, Ranchi, XLRI, MDI, NITIE, MICA, NMIMS, SP Jain, XIMB, FMS SP Jain, and IMT Ghaziabad etc. to some of the most iconic and adventurous Himalayan treks like Everest Base Camp Expedition and Annapurna Base camp, Manali- Leh Motorbike Expedition, Roopkund Lake trek to name a few.
Everyone in our team follows and respects one motto:
"Creating homes, away from homes".
We devote ourselves to let you have an experience so blissful and sublime that you keep coming back to this memory over and over again for the rest of your life.
Or probably come back to us for another fun-filled adventure!
We believe that the best relations can be created when living, working and exploring intensely together for a common purpose as a team. So we are bringing together a community of travelers who share common interests and have a curiosity about the world around us. This way we get to understand urselves and the world is a little bit better.
We extensively live & breathe himalayas. We have handled and taken batches of our own and understand the needs of our customers. We work together with the team of locals to make our treks successful. We essentially believe ‘no one can better organize treks than those who have lived in the same valley for years and have done those treks multiple times’. If you are in a bigger group, well we can customize trek as per your wish, interests. Our itineraries are also well designed for natural acclimatization.
Our guides are born and brought up in the surroundings from where trek starts, so our team is very well familiar with local conditions, routes and obstructions which arise during the trekking, better than any other outsider.
We have tie-ups’ with many equipment manufacturers who provide quality gear at discounted rates for purchase or for rentals.
Unlike other trekking companies which take 25-50 people in one batch and eventually gives less attention and comfort to each participant, we believe that small groups of 8-15 gives best ambience to the experience of the Himalayan spirituality, serenity, solitude and rawness
We are equipped with the best quality equipment required for the all weather Himalayan Expeditions, which focuses on your Safety, Comfort, Hygiene and Ecology.
We are programmed to build responsive trekking/ travelling habits in our travelers. We are not here for Volume, but for Experience and our vision of cultivating and promoting the spirit of adventure in people, who never happen to have the chance, make them aware about a world of awe and fascinations which surround us, against the conventional touristic approach to travel.
Our team consists of young professionals and trekkers from varied professional fields, but have one thing in common, the passion to travel.

While doing the operations for the same we found that the actual cost of doing it directly was way too lower than the quoted cost by well established companies. An intermediary was needed who can negotiate on the behalf of students in order to get more reasonable prices.
Our formation began formally with our incubation in Gujarat University Startups and Entrepreneur Council (GUSEC) in 2017
