Real Stories From Our Travel Community
We don't just plan trips, we create pauses. See what happens when you trade tourist traps for real human connection and slow, mindful travel.
We asked our community about the touristy things they'll never do again. The consensus? No more rushing. It's all about slower, deeper, and more local travel.
What are the signs you've travelled well? Having a local metro card, finding a favorite coffee spot, and not needing Google Maps. We help you live like a local, not just visit.
We asked our team to name the experts we travel with. The list is long: chefs, divers, artists, dancers, filmmakers, and more. Who would you want to travel with?
What does a trip with us include? Five-star hotels, premium transport, and handpicked experiences. We handle all the stress so you can just show up and enjoy.
We're on calls every day making sure every detail is perfect for our travellers. It's all worth it when we see the amazing reviews and know we created the experience of a lifetime.
Hear from creator Kriti about her first community trip with us to Bali. She was worried about travelling with new people, but we handled everything so she could just enjoy the experience.
You see the perfect sunset shot. We see the 472 properties we vetted to find that view. We live every experience first to ensure your trip is seamless and memorable.

About Hear From Our Travellers
Most of our travellers arrive solo, feeling that same hesitation you might have right now. It is totally normal. Our process is designed to turn that around, from the pre-trip ice-breaking calls to the shared experiences, we focus on moving you from stranger to travel squad by day two. When you read these stories, you will see that is exactly what happens—people come for the destination but stay for the people.
Travel is rarely about the place itself. It is about the people you meet and the stories you collect along the way. That is why we focus on community-first travel. Whether it is a digital detox in the mountains of Rishikesh or a creator-led journey through Bali, our goal is to help you disconnect from the 9-to-5 grind and reconnect with yourself.
Why Our Travellers Choose Us
- No Touristy Rush: We do not believe in ticking off items on a bucket list. We curate experiences where you live like a local, find your favourite coffee spot, and ditch the Google Maps by day three.
- Solo-Friendly Design: If you are worried about travelling alone, you are in good company. Almost everyone joins our trips solo. We handle the logistics, the roommate matching, and the ice-breaking, so you just have to show up.
- Expert-Led Experiences: You travel with experts—chefs, filmmakers, or yoga teachers—who curate the itinerary. You are not just a tourist; you are part of a workshop, a retreat, or a culinary journey.
The Skaya Promise
We handle everything from the visas and boutique stays to the secret trails and local dining. You do not need to worry about the 'how' of the trip. We have already walked the routes, vetted the properties, and tested the meals.
If you have been waiting for a sign to quit the 'Diwali ke baad' plans and actually book the trip, consider this it. Join us for a weekend, a retreat, or an international expedition, and come home with more than just a camera roll full of photos.
