Here at Treks ‘n Rapids we’ve thrown the suit, tie and desks to the wind so that we can make our passion for travel yours. For us it has always been #lifeisoutthere! In early 2002 a few young blokes founded Treks ‘n Rapids. They all came from diverse backgrounds – tourism, hospitality, consultancy, engineering, media and human resource management. But all of them had one thing in common: adventure.

Founded by the alumni of Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, Mumbai (NMIMS) and Harvard Business School, Treks ‘n Rapids has been a life changing journey that started with heaps of passion, thoroughly grounded homework and a crystal clear vision to develop a niche for ourselves by providing world class active experiences to the new age travellers.
