About us

Founded by Himanshu Shekhar (LinkedIn | Instagram) in 2014, Gyan Yatra means Wisdom Journey, and he started it with a vision to learn and grow using travel as a medium and give back to the community using travel as a tool. Himanshu is a travel entrepreneur, interested in sustainable development and working towards making cities cycle friendly in India. He is usually on his cycle, exploring the countryside of the land and interacting with people, and collecting more stories to share with the world.

Now, the team is led by Himanshu and Himadri, the brother-sister duo who loves to travel and share the same love with passion with people from across the world.

Himadri (LinkedIn) knows and understands exactly how to bring a global perspective to the tours and yet keep them local. She is usually busy connecting with service providers or guests and if not, you may find her hiking in the Himalayas.

With a team of approx 8 people, we are a closely knitted team and work constantly to make tours more personal, authentic, ethical, sustainable, and yet full of fun and adventures. Looking forward to hosting you for the next tours.
