A note from our founder

"Even though I studied Law and German language & literature in my academic journey, it was only travel that truly taught me about life and human values. I always had an instinct for helping people, changing the world in my tiny way.

​

Who knew I'd get to do it through travel someday?!

​

I was born and raised in Pune, but In a dramatic turn of events (in which COVID played a big part), I moved base from Pune to Ladakh in September 2021.

​

Having observed that tourists currently only go to a few 'famous' spots and through conversations with locals, I realized the need for conscious tourism in Ladakh. It was then that I saw how Travel Dirty could contribute to the gap in tourism.

 

I now live in Ladakh and since 2022 I’ve been curating and facilitating offbeat, immersive and fun journeys across different parts of the region.”

Our story

Travel Dirty is a play on the phrase 'getting one's hands dirty' meaning to participate or get involved.

 

Started by a curious soul stuck in a cubicle, Travel Dirty is about ditching the ordinary and getting your hands dirty (literally and figuratively) on real adventures!

​

Aishwarya, our founder, dreamt of travel that was more than just ticking things off a list. In 2018, that dream became Travel Dirty, and now we're on a mission to craft unforgettable experiences in Ladakh and beyond!

​

Stay tuned for soulful adventures in Maharashtra and South India coming soon!
