The Soul Behind the Trails
Meet Your Host: Ashish Kumar
I am a mountain lover who spent years navigating the worlds of real estate, travel, and handicrafts, only to find my heart always leading me back to these peaks. I bring a lifetime of experience—and the art of creative problem-solving—to every journey we take together. Whether I am preparing a romantic sattvic meal at a hidden campsite, styling our interiors for that earthy luxury feel, or driving through the most scenic, secret routes I have discovered, my goal is simple: to be your friend and your host in the wild Himalayas.
"Travel with me as a friend and host, and let’s discover the hidden soul of the mountains together."

Responsible Tourism
We honor the land and its people. By sourcing locally and respecting Himalayan traditions, we create journeys that give back to the communities we love.
Our Story
I return to the mountains not just to escape, but to remember. My journey back to the Himalayas wasn't a straight path; it was a winding trail through the worlds of real estate and handicrafts. Yet, every summit I climbed and every meal I cooked in the wild whispered the same truth: this is home.
Himalayan Offbeat Escapes was born from these diverse life chapters under the vision of Ashish Kumar. It is the culmination of my love for interior styling, event management, and the simple joy of driving scenic routes. I created this brand to share that same grounded, trustworthy connection I have with these peaks, offering an earthy luxury that only the true soul of the Himalayas can provide.
