Learn More About Awakening Trails
The richer the experience, the greater the reward
For us, true richness lies in the details — waking to birdsong in a forest retreat, dining under desert stars in Rajasthan, walking temple paths with a local monk at dawn, or simply sharing stillness with the ones you love in a place that stirs your spirit.
Our journeys span diverse landscapes — from the high Himalayas to India’s sacred rivers, Southeast Asia’s quiet coastlines to the cultural heartlands of Europe. Whether you’re hiking through ancient forests or enjoying a private after-hours museum tour, we design each trip to immerse you in the soul of a place.
At Awakening Trails, travel is never just about where you go. It’s about the people you meet, the stories you gather, and the space you find — to reconnect, reflect, and be moved.
Building education and awareness
At Awakening Trails, we believe that building a better kind of travel starts with the people behind it. That’s why we invest in ongoing education and reflection across our team — ensuring our understanding of sustainability, ethics, and equity continues to grow alongside our work.
Our travel curators and product team undergo formal training in sustainable tourism, guided by globally recognised standards such as those set by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC). This certification reflects our commitment to embedding environmental and social responsibility into every detail of the journeys we design.
Beyond sustainability, our staff also receive training in child safeguarding, diversity, equity, and inclusion — helping us create experiences that are respectful, thoughtful, and safe for everyone involved.
We also believe that real understanding comes from presence. That’s why our team regularly travels to the regions they design for — not just to research logistics, but to connect with communities, listen deeply, and reflect on how our Positive Impact strategy is unfolding on the ground.
Because responsible travel isn’t static — it’s a living, evolving practice. And we’re committed to doing it better every day.
The transformative power of travel
When you journey with Awakening Trails, you’re not just exploring new landscapes — you’re helping to protect them. Every trip supports initiatives focused on wildlife conservation, environmental stewardship, and the empowerment of local communities.
Through our trusted partnerships across India and beyond, we contribute to the preservation of endangered species, the restoration of fragile ecosystems, and the growth of community-led efforts that protect the natural and cultural heritage of each region.
Because meaningful travel doesn’t just inspire — it gives back, and helps keep the wild, the sacred, and the storied, alive for generations to come.
