The Go Vibes

Not every travel company begins with a business plan. Some begin with a bus ride, a breathtaking view, and a bunch of college friends dreaming out loud. That’s how The Go Vibes was born—not from a boardroom, but from the heart.

2012 – The Road That Sparked an Idea

It all began on a college trip to Shimla in 2012. We were a group of friends squeezed into a bus, chasing mountain sunsets and collecting memories. But somewhere between the winding roads and the maggi stops, we noticed something off.

Every agency we encountered offered the same cookie-cutter experience—overpriced tours, rushed sightseeing, and zero soul. They focused more on profits than people. Locals were ignored, hidden gems went unexplored, and there was no effort to truly connect travelers with the spirit of the place. That’s when a thought struck us:

"What if travel wasn’t just about seeing places—but feeling them?"

2012–2018 – Life Happened, But the Dream Stayed

Like most college dreams, this one got tucked away as we graduated and stepped into the chaos of adulthood. Jobs, responsibilities, and different cities pulled us in different directions.

But whenever we spoke, that idea resurfaced—like a favorite memory we couldn’t let go of. The kind of travel we craved? It still didn’t exist.

2018 – The Reunion That Reignited Everything

Fast forward to 2018. We met again, not on a mountain this time, but around a table for a reunion. As we swapped stories and relived our Shimla trip, the spark came rushing back.

Why hadn't anyone created a travel experience that was local, soulful, and built around real human connection? We decided to stop waiting—and start building it ourselves.

2019 – The Go Vibes Is Born

And in 2019, The Go Vibes officially came to life.

No investors. No fancy office. Just a shared dream and the belief that we could create something better.

We started small—curating trips to Himachal that included not just the famous spots, but also the unheard-of trails, mountain villages, and local flavors. We focused on experiences, not just itineraries. Hospitality that felt like home. Adventures that felt personal.

And travelers noticed. Not just because of the destinations—but because of the vibe.

Our Mission: Travel That Feels Right

From the very beginning, The Go Vibes has stood for more than just tours. We’re here to change how people feel when they travel:

Less rush, more meaning.

Less tourist traps, more hidden gems.

Less transactions, more heart.

We want you to sip chai with a local in Spiti, laugh around a bonfire in Manali, or discover a waterfall no guidebook talks about.

Because when travel is done right—it stays with you forever.

Looking Ahead

We may not be a global brand (yet), but we're proud of what we’ve built here in India. Every trip, every traveler, and every smile is a reminder of why we started.

And we’re just getting started. So, if you’re someone who travels not just to “see” but to feel…
If you believe in soulful journeys, not just touristy checklists… Then you’ve already got the vibe we built this on.
