OUR EXPERIENCES
Fernweh Fair Travel is a women-led & run, award-winning and internationally recognized youth & women empowerment project. We offer guided tours that integrate nature-based adventures and spiritual retreats with Indigenous cultural activities in the Indian Himalayas to our B2B partners. During the journey, your guests stay at our boutique accommodation managed by the local communities in the off-beat locations. Our unique programs are curated to educate, connect and transform travelers - as well as our community.
