Our Journey

A journey shaped by a local Himachali’s passion and a tech visionary’s innovation

How It All Began

Manjul, born and raised in a small village of Himachal Pradesh, explored every corner of his homeland and dreamed of taking travelers beyond crowded tourist spots.

During college, Manjul organized trekking and hill-station adventures for friends, gaining deep on-ground experience of hidden Himachali trails.

Pankaj Kumar Meena, an IIT Roorkee graduate, is a tech visionary with strong startup experience. A former volleyball player, he brings teamwork and leadership into our company culture.

In 2019, Manjul founded The Trip Culture, which later evolved with Pankaj as CTO & Co-Founder into The Trip Culture.

"Scale with technology, but never lose authenticity."
