Are You Ready to Ride South India Like Never Before?Join us and experience the beauty, culture, and adventure of South India—one pedal at a time.
In many parts of South India, tradition and culture shape the way women live, work, and interact. While our regular trips offer incredible experiences, certain opportunities—like cooking with home chefs, participating in traditional saree weaving, or visiting women-run spice farms—are best experienced in an all-female group.
Our women-only trips break barriers, foster real connections, and allow female travelers to engage in experiences that are often inaccessible in mixed-gender tours. These trips are all about empowering women—both travelers and the local women they meet along the way.
While our routes explore the same breathtaking landscapes, what sets these trips apart is the deeper cultural access and the stories you’ll hear. Meet women artisans, farmers, and entrepreneurs who are redefining traditional roles in their communities. Join female guides, historians, and chefs who will share perspectives rarely heard in mixed-gender settings. Experience sacred spaces and rituals where women gather, from temple traditions to wellness retreats. This isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about learning, sharing, and supporting South India’s incredible women.
We’re always looking to expand our trips to include more meaningful, women-led experiences. South India’s rich cultural diversity means there are always new places and communities to explore. Our goal is to continue growing, partnering with more women-led businesses, and offering even more unique experiences in the future.
To respect cultural sensitivities and provide an immersive experience, these trips are for female travelers only. Many of the experiences—such as women-only community spaces and businesses—would not be possible with a mixed-gender group. However, we offer other incredible South India trips open to all travelers!
Yes! If you’re planning a private women’s retreat, family trip, or group getaway, we can tailor an itinerary just for you. Let us know your preferences, and we’ll craft a journey that matches your interests.
We believe travel should be inclusive for everyone. However, we recognize that cultural norms and legal regulations in certain areas may impact experiences for LGBTQ+ travelers. If you have any concerns, we encourage you to reach out to us before booking so we can provide guidance and ensure a comfortable experience. For rooming arrangements, solo travelers will be paired with another traveler who shares the same gender as per passport information. If you have any concerns about this arrangement, let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs.
We’d love to help! Get in touch, and let’s plan your journey through South India—designed for women, by women.
