Our story starts with two friends who met in the travel shared their experiences and started doing a few treks together. A few more friends joined and shared their love of exploring too. So the team sat one day and gave a thought to how we could forward similar experiences to more people around us who having the same urge too but couldn’t make it. The little brainchild of that meeting ‘Trekpanda’ now has grown into a huge community of passionate travelers and still growing.
